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
In an instant, Sage felt the current that passed through Jace, and it hit her.It started from his grip on her wrist and went straight to her limbs. Her whole body went numb.All Sage felt was her heart pounding out of her chest. It felt like it was about to jump out.Her face was immediately on fire and flushed red to the ears. Jace's breathing became a little faster too. He arched his brow slightly and gazed at her with his dark eyes. His jawline was sharp and smooth. As he spoke, his Adam's apple rolled heavily."My hair is dry.""Oh," Sage replied after a long time. She turned off the hair dryer, and the whirring died down.The night was tranquil as silence loomed over.The sound of their heartbeats became evident in the dead silence. It sounded like they fought to be the loudest.Neither of them said anything as the tension between them grew."Let’s… sleep."Sage forced herself to calm down. She wanted to put the hair dryer down, but he was still holding her wrist firm
Sage swung her hand twice, like she was chopping something, and acted fiercely in front of Jace.Her actions were so cute. Jace could not help but laugh. Then, he let out a soft hiss in pain."Shut up! No laughing!"Sage forbade him from laughing. Instead, she climbed down from the bed and stood on the floor to massage him.However, she still found it inconvenient, so she simply took off her shoes, climbed to the bed, and massaged him on the other side. Jace looked at Sage's serious demeanor and felt warm. How did he lose such a good girl like her in the first place? "Okay. It doesn’t hurt anymore," Jace whispered. Sage's hands were starting to get a little sore. She looked at him and asked, "Really?""Yeah. Really."Jace took her hand and gave her a massage instead. "Lie down. I'll give you a massage."No, thanks..."Sage tried to pull her hands back, but Jace made her lie down. He sat up and massaged her hands with great skill.Sage lay there and watched him pressing h
Sienna's talk show did not garner much attention after the broadcast. However, many people still watched it because it was broadcast on Universal Channel's prime time.Many asked the same questions."Didn't she quit her job as the host to be a mistress? Why is she still here? Is she not getting enough money from her sponsor?""As expected of someone with connections. Why is she still on screen?""Anyone can be a host these days. What the hell are those questions? She's terrible at hosting!"The actor she interviewed was not famous, but he had potential. He was a strong actor among the younger generation and had a lot of loyal fans.When his fans learned he would be on a talk show on Universal Channel, they were thrilled that he finally had the opportunity to be interviewed. They waited in front of the TV to watch the show, but it turned out…The host did not ask about his work at all. Instead, she only asked about his early experiences acting as an extra with sarcastic, ironic,
"It's still early. You can sleep a little longer."Sage then gently pulled the covers down and revealed most of her face. "Why are you up so early?"Jace had not slept much all night. "I… I wanted to see a beauty's natural face." Sage looked at Jace's heavy dark eye circles under his eyes in speechlessness. She knew what was going on and quietly muttered in her heart.'Liar.'Then, she pulled the cover down and glanced at him. "You say as if you've never seen it before."She sat up, tidied her crumpled clothes, and brushed her messy hair twice."I've seen it, but she's still very beautiful."Jace could not stop looking at Sage. The sincerity and softness in his eyes made Sage blush a little.Jace was so annoying!After getting up and washing up, Sage put on light makeup and went to the yard with Jace.His yard had a lot of greenery, most of which were planted when Sage was still living there. The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants. It was refreshing.A
