A Relentless Pursuit for Love Chapter 89
Soon, Leah had started attending university in Salem City. With a backpack on her shoulders and a luggage bag in her hand, Leah, who was dressed like a college student, showed up at Rosa Garden.Staring at the bed of roses in the garden, Leah felt as if it had been a lifetime ago since she was here at the Rosa Garden.The last time she was at Rosa Garden was three years ago for her uncle and aunt's funeral. It was also on that day that she saw her cousin, Sage, a cheerful kid who had been pampered since she was a child, bawling and crying her heart out.Not long after that, Sage was "dead", too.She saw how Braxton and Yeva moved into the Rosa Garden and had got rid of the bed of roses in the garden. At that moment, Leah knew that things would not be the same anymore."Leah, you're finally here!"Yeva, who was in the middle of memorizing the house rules, noticed Leah and immediately ran down the stairs to welcome her.Leah was uncomfortable with Yeva's sudden warm and friendly

She was more than happy to send Yeva to jail for what she had done to her. After all, it was Yeva and Julian who had schemed against her.It was kind enough that Sage had allowed Yeva to live and had not pressed charges against her. Sage did not wish to air their family's dirty laundry for others to see.Hence, she had come up with her own ways of teaching Yeva.Listening to Yeva's complaints, Leah looked baffled. "Did Sage really do all these things to you?""Why would I lie to you?" Yeva pointed at herself and went on, "Aside from her, who would dare to treat me this way? I've been locked up in this room, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. I'm so glad that you're here."Leah forced a smile. She did not think that she had anything to say to Yeva. Studying Leah's expression, Yeva wrapped her hands around Leah's and asked, "Leah, are you still mad about what I did to you when we were young?"Leah bit her lower lip without saying anything."I was too young back then, and

Yeva was not aware of the fact that her room was under surveillance, nor was she aware of the fact that Sage was watching her every move and listening to every word.Luther could not help but exclaim, "I thought that you were ruthless, but it seems that your cousins are no weaker than you, especially Yeva. You have treated them well and have always shared good things with them, but this is exactly like the story about the snake and the farmer. Who would have thought that they would have turned on you? It is true that some people don't deserve to be treated nicely"Sage had watched enough. Turning off the video, she said indifferently, "It's not too late. Now that I've seen her true colors, there's no need for me to show her mercy.""Yeva is exactly like her father: both of them extremely jealous and resentful. She resents people who have it better than her, but I don't think the same could be said for Leah." Luther added, "I don't know about her, but I do know that ever since your

A lot of things had happened that year.There had been financial crises and investment downturns that caused a handful of companies to be on the verge of bankruptcy. The Zelda Group had been blacklisted for its dishonesty. Jace, on the other hand, had been involved in a serious car accident. His life was on the line, and all the newspapers had covered the accident.However, prior to his accident, there had been another tragedy that had caused a stir within the country and abroad.

"Huh?"Hunter was taken aback by Jace's question. He wondered why Jace had wanted to know Sage's age. Jace had sounded serious. Hunter had no choice but to try his best to recall her age. "I think ma'am is around… twenty-four or twenty-five this year."Jace's eyes shot wide open.If Sage was indeed twenty-four years old this year, then she would have been fourteen ten years ago.'Could Sage truly have been the girl that had been abducted?’ Jace thought to himself.Jace felt his chest tighten. As if struck by lightning, his ears began to ring as memories washed through him.Regaining his composure, Jace made a call to Yoel. As soon as Yoel answered, Jace asked bluntly, "Do you remember the secret mission at Cloud Forest ten years ago?"Yoel had just returned to Riverside City and was in the middle of a discussion with his father about the horse racing track. At Jace's question, he was slightly taken aback.Pausing, Yoel replied, "You mean the mission where we were sent to save

"What did you say?" Yoel's jaw dropped.…Accompanied by melodious music, Luther and Sage were enjoying dinner at a French restaurant near the central business district.Luther cut the steak on his plate as he watched Sage eating her bowl of salad. Luther was feeling somewhat guilty. "People would think that I am bullying you."Taking a bite of her salad, she replied, "You'd be torturing me if you forced me to have meat. I've eaten too much during lunchtime."Taking a sip of red wine, Luther asked, "You had lunch with Yoel?""Yeah." Sage nodded.Luther continued to cut the steak. "How are things going with the horse racing business?""Looking good." Sage took a sip of water and went on, "But the final decision is up to Yoel's father. Yoel did suggest that we should probably find another partner."Luther frowned. "What does he mean? Does he not trust you enough? Or is he not confident that Fulton Group would be able to see the project through?"Shaking her head, Sage replied,

Yoel was plunged into disbelief and shock after he had heard Jace's assumptions. "So, you're saying that Sage had married and taken care of you for three years so that she could repay your kindness. She did that because you had saved her ten years ago?" "Yeah." Jace was rather sure that this was the case."Goodness gracious." Yoel slowly came back to his senses, but he was still flabbergasted. "It's like a scene right out of a drama. How is it possible that a woman would still think of marrying a man as a form of repayment?" "I don't think she did it just because she wanted to repay me."Jace narrowed his eyes. For some reason, he was reluctant to think that Sage had married him only for the sake of repaying his kindness. He then told Yoel what Finn had told him earlier.Trying to calm himself down, Yoel drank some tea out of his father's teacup, but as soon as Jace mentioned that Sage had a crush on him for ten years, Yoel spat out the tea.Yoel's father, who had just gott

'Why did she lie to me?''Why didn't she tell me that she was the girl I saved?'"I'll go to Salem City this time. Give me her phone number, I'll ask her myself!"Jace did not want to spend time looking for answers on his own as he knew that Sage would be able to hide things from him as long as she did not want him to find out. Besides, what else could he do when her hacking skills were superior to his?This was the first time he had felt such strong love and hatred for a woman while at the same time feeling helpless. He was on the verge of insanity.…Sage, on the other hand, was heading home.Leaning into the car seat, Sage shut her eyes to get some rest. In the meantime, she was considering what Luther had analyzed for her as well as Yoel's concerns about the project. No matter how she saw it, the best solution was to have Yuriel Group on board for the horse racing project.Sage had always stuck to the rule of not bringing personal feelings into work. There was no reason

Sage heard of the saying, 'Marriage is for happiness, and so does divorce.'Based on Wikipedia, the definition of marriage was, 'Marriage is a long-term contractual relationship between a man and a woman based on equal consent.'Someone once said, 'Marriage is like a siege. Those outside wanted to break in, while people inside wanted to break out of the siege.'Sage and Jace had been through marriage once. In their first marriage, they were both losers. This time, they were both determined to win. They wanted to live their lives well. Even if their passion were to fade in the future, they would never leave each other.

It's a good day for this number."Jace suddenly came up with a good idea, "Let's have a daughter and call her Little Nine, okay?"'Did he just come up with that? How brave,' Sage thought and

The ninth of September arrived quickly.Sage was worried that Jace would not be able to get up on time, but Sage turned out to be the one who overslept. Sage had not slept all night because of a certain someone. She was so sleepy, while Jace was full of energy.Jace carried Sage to the bathroom to wash up and brush her teeth. "Open your mouth. Ah…"Sage squinted as she saw the terrible dark circles under her eyes. She turned around in anger and bumped Jace's head.Jace was caught off guard and felt dizzy from the impact. He rubbed his head. "Dear, aren't you hurting yourself by doing this…""Look at my dark circles. They're so ugly. How am I supposed to take pictures? Sage complained in anger.Jace squinted and rubbed his eyes. "Let me see. What's ugly?"He held Sage's face and observed it. "What's ugly? It's not ugly. My wife is the prettiest in the world!"Jace did not care about the toothpaste foam all over Sage's mouth and kissed her anyway.Primrose opened the door and

Jace made Sage stay up all night. Sage was so sleepy that her eyes were closing."Sleep. I'll wake you up later."Jace leaned down and kissed her forehead. As he closed his eyes, he remembered something and sat up sharply."By the way, we have to wear white shirts for tomorrow's photo session. We haven't prepared the shirt…"Jace rolled over and jumped off the bed right after saying that. Sage could not stop him in time, so she turned on the lamp helplessly. She leaned over the bed and waited for Jace in silence.Shortly after, Jace came back with two shirts. His eyes were shining. "Dear, you've prepared for us?""Yeah." Sage nodded weakly. "I've got them ready. I've had Zamora iron them for me."Jace could finally put his mind at ease. "What about the documents and identifications…"Sage pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out the papers and documents she had prepared ahead. "It's all here."Sage looked at Jace. "Everything is ready. You've checked three time

Sage spread out the notebook and looked at the blurred handwriting. She slowly read it out loud, "Step one, conquer her with sweet talking. Use sweeter and flirtatious words that would make people blush. Forget about modesty and shame in bed. It's best to whisper them into her ears…"Sage read the notes with a straight face, making Jace so embarrassed that he could hardly keep his feet on the ground.Jace strode forward with a stiff face and tried to snatch the notebook away. Sage was quick to dodge and continued reading with her head down."Step two, be aggressive at your offense. Focus and remember this, being rough yet gentle. You can use props such as blindfolds, ties, handcuffs, and so on…"Sage's face turned red while reading it. As the images popped into her mind, she had to stop reading.Jace was about to go crazy. He buried his face in his hands, unable to look up at Sage."Where did you learn all these?" Sage threw the notebook at Jace. "Rough yet gentle? Are you seriou

'Electric drill? Seriously?!' Jace thought and got a headache.Seeing that Sage was about to open her mouth again, he panicked and kissed her directly to shut her up.Dean was stunned by Jace's quick action. When he saw the couple kissing in the light, he suddenly raised his hand and hit his head.'I must be on the set… Who else would be so shameless as to kiss in public like that?' Dean thought.Sage finally calmed down after a long kiss. Jace breathed a sigh of relief and picked her up. He told Logan, "I'll leave the other guy to you!""Oh," Logan responded. Then he picked Dean up like a kid and walked out the door.Jace was tired and sweaty by the time he arrived at the hotel. Sage was already soundly asleep.

"Is that so?" A trace of interest flashed in Jace's eyes.Sage did not understand, so she asked, "What does a small forward do?"Jace explained, "The small forwards are typically the tallest and most athletic of all players. They are responsible for scoring points and defending. The main goal of strong shooters is to score and create opportunities for teammates. In other cases, they would operate as off-ball specialists. They would wait for teammates to pass the ball, catch the ball, and shoot to score."Seeing Sage's confused look, Jace added, "James and Durant, for example, are playing as small forwards.""Oh!" Sage immediately understood after hearing the name of these famous basketball stars. Her eyes lit up. "Isn't that amazing?"Jace saw the sparkle in her eyes and found her really adorable. He said, smiling, "It is. Basketball is all about teamwork. Small forward is probably the most versatile of the five main basketball positions and carries multiple functions in the game.

Jace muffled his laughs and relaxed in the night light. He said, "I have to work harder, or someone will call me old.""Hey." Sage knew he would get back at her.She rolled over and lay on top of Jace. She played with his chest and said in a muffled voice, "I have a new nickname for you."Jace responded, "Hm?"Sage looked up at him. "Vengeance."Jace was stunned and soon broke into a peal of laughter. Sage leaned on him and felt the rise and fall of his breathing. As his chest resonated with his laughter, Sage followed along with his laughter. Both of them were laughing like fools. Sage and Jace lay flat on the bed after laughing nonstop. They opened up and improved their intimacy so much. As a result, their whole body and mind were very relaxed tonight. "Hey..." The two spoke in unison, exchanged a glance, and smiled again.Sage said, "Go ahead."Jace looked at Sage and muttered, "I'll say something, but don't get mad at it.""Just say it." Sage looked at him.Jace though
