Lucas finally returned to his apartment late at night. He was exhausted to the point he was feeling weak.Luna could not sleep. She was searching for various news and information about what was going on. She kept calling Lucas so much that her phone was almost out of battery.When she heard the sound of the door unlocking, she immediately turned her head. She looked momentarily ecstatic to see Lucas back.She stood up and said, "You’re finally back. I called you so many times. Why didn’t you answer? Why did you turn off your phone?" She was happy, but she had to complain."My phone is out of battery," Lucas explained faintly. Then, he took off his shoes and went into the bathroom.Sienna and Luna stood in the living room and looked at each other in dismay. They became uneasy and worried because of Lucas's serious expression. They felt like the situation seemed to be out of their control. Things were becoming more and more difficult.When Lucas was done using the toilet, he came
Sienna was so used to acting coquettishly with men that she forgot this was her aunt's husband.Before Luna could criticize her, Lucas spoke first. He said soberly, "I'm afraid your show will be canceled. It's not just the show. You'll lose your job as the host too."Thump! Thump! Thump!Lucas's words struck Sienna like three thunderbolts, leaving her stunned. "What?" Luna could not help but frown at Lucas's words. "Lucas, it can't be that bad, right?"Lucas laughed. "I've been kicked out as chief, not to mention a little host like her. Do you really think the Zelda family runs the Universal Channel?"He stood up and went into the room, leaving Luna and Sienna behind. Both of their faces turned ugly.…Seth stayed with Suki at the apartment in the Looming District.Sage wanted to give them some space and leave them alone for a while. Since she was worried about Freya, she took a trip back to the old residence with Jace in the middle of the night."Did he sign it?” Freya re
It was dark at night. Luna went into the bedroom with a tray of freshly cooked food."Honey, let's have some supper." Lucas sat on the bay window in the bedroom with one leg curled up. He held a cigarette between his fingers and smoked. He looked haggard and much older.When he heard Luna's voice, he turned his head slowly and looked at her. Then, he said indifferently, "I don't have an appetite. You can put it there."Luna wanted to say something more, but after seeing his face, she chose to shut up and put the food on the coffee table.She supported her waist with her hand and walked toward him. Then, she sat on the side of the bay window.When she reached out her hand to touch his face, he avoided her touch.He frowned slightly. "Stay away from me. The smoke will choke the baby." Luna put down her hand with a little frustration.She began softly, "Lucas, can you tell me what's going on? Why did you quit as the chief?"Lucas's mouth twitched at her question. He had a mo
Luna did not argue this time and nodded obediently. "Hmm. I know. I'll talk to them.""You should really be worried for me." Lucas raised his hand and touched Luna's belly. He said without looking up, "I'll have nothing soon. You better be prepared. It's not too late to leave now."A loud thud pounded in her heart. "You… What do you mean?" Lucas finally looked up with his cold and red eyes. "I've been busy with Freya's divorce lawsuit for the past few days."Luna had heard about it from his assistant, Jenning, but she did not quite understand it. "Didn't you two divorced long ago? What's with the lawsuit now? Is she trying to mess with you?"Lucas frowned slightly. He realized he was still unable to stand hearing others badmouth Freya."We divorced in a hurry back then. We left without dividing our assets properly. Now, she wants her share, and there's nothing wrong with that.""What do you mean by her share?"When it came to money, Luna became anxious and shook Lucas's hand a
It was too late at night. Sage wanted to return to Looming District, but Freya would not let her leave."It's late. Why bother traveling for far? It's going to be dawn when we get there. You should just stay here. It's not like you haven't lived here before."Sage thought about it and agreed. She said with a nod, "Okay. I'll inform Seth then."Sage called Seth and was relieved to learn that Suki had calmed down and had gone to sleep. She told Seth that she was not going back."You're going to stay overnight with the Yuriel family?" Seth's voice rose at the end with an expected surprise. "Okay, I get it. However, I advise you to take it easy for Jace's life."Sage fell silent and blushed in embarrassment. She instinctively turned to glance at Jace once, then muffled her voice over the phone. "Seth, what are you thinking about!""Nothing at all. The point is that you better don't do anything with him," Seth teased.Knowing that Sage was annoyed, he added, "Okay, okay. I'll stop te
Sage suddenly froze and did not dare to move. "You… Let me go."Jace remained silent and finally realized his action. He immediately let go of her and took a step back. "Sorry!"He widened his eyes in shock and looked at Sage nervously. "I…I didn't mean it. Don't be mad! I didn't mean anything by it!"His breathing became a little irregular.Sage was not really angry. Instead, she found it a little funny to see his panicked expression and the way he explained himself nervously."Okay, stop. You don’t have to explain anymore." Sage looked at the closed door and sighed softly. "Come on. Let's go to your residence."… Sage was not a stranger to Jace's residence. Sage came to the old residence more often than he did during their three years of marriage. She often stayed overnight too. However, she never came back after the divorce.When she entered the courtyard, she saw that everything was still the same as before. It felt like nothing had changed.There were four rooms in his
What? Sage stared at the cute doll for a long moment. "This is me?" She could not tell at all.When she looked closer, she noticed the big dewy eyes that resembled her cute appearance as a child. There was a tear mole on the bottom of her eye too. The details on the doll were well done.Wait! Some thoughts suddenly came to her mind and startled her. She turned back to look at Jace. "You don't sleep with it at night, do you?""No!" Jace became nervous to see her stern face. He quickly explained, "I wanted to, but this doll was just made, washed, and dried not long ago… Not yet… I couldn't sleep with it yet."What did he just say? Jace reflexively fell silent and covered his mouth. Sage did not hear the rest of his muffled voice, but she heard him saying that he wanted to sleep with it."Hey." Sage narrowed her eyes. "Do you have some kind of fetish? It's okay. You can just tell me. I won't laugh at you."Jace was stunned and finally realized what Sage meant. He could not help
Jace went into the bathroom to take a shower. Meanwhile, Sage was already in bed with her doll next to her.For some reason, she felt a little nervous listening to the sound of water running in the bathroom.She found her decision to sleep in his bedroom too impulsive. Was she crazy? Why was she sleeping in his room and on his bed?! Although it used to be her room and bed too.Sage sighed. If Tim knew about this, she might not be able to save her leg and his life anymore. She rolled over slightly and caught a glimpse of the cute doll of Jace on the couch. It stood right there and looked at her solemnly."What are you looking at? Have you never seen a pretty girl before? I'll pull your eyes out if you look at me again," Sage warned the doll in a low and vicious whisper.The bathroom door suddenly opened. Jace came out still a little wet and asked, "Hmm? Are you talking to me?"Sage fell silent. She wanted to pretend to be asleep, but it was too late."Why are you so quick?" Sag
