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
Henry and Zachary quickly covered their faces and retreated in a hurry. They feared that Jace and Sage would kill them to keep them quiet."Stop right there!"Sage shouted to stop them. Then, she pulled her leg from Jace's arms.Jace was displeased by the interruption. He still did not have enough of her yet. He waited until Sage stood steadily and slowly let go of his hand.He could only vent his discontent to his brothers. "Why are you so loud in the morning? When will you learn to be calmer?"Zachary and Henry were too scared to respond."Jace, we didn't mean it. We didn't know Sage was home.""Yeah. If we knew Sage was here, we wouldn't have come over. We didn't mean to spoil your time together."The two kept talking one after another and chattered without stopping."What nonsense!" Sage's face was as red as a tomato. She walked over and gently hit Zachary on the back of the head. Henry shrunk in fear.They worked with Sage as her assistant for the past six months. They w
Luna sneered, "You think so highly of me. I have no influence there anymore."Francesca pulled a straight face."You just can't be bothered with it! I don't understand. All I'm asking is for you to put your words in. Why do you have to make it seem like it'll cost you your life?""Enough, stop it!"Dane reprimanded his wife and looked at Luna."Luna, are you facing any trouble? If not, why don't you just lend a helping hand to Sienna?"Luna mocked, "Trouble? Have any of you cared if I was in any trouble? Do you think I chose not to help her? No matter how many words I put in now won't make any difference!"She just lost a show and a hosting job! No big deal at all. I'm no longer the wife of the Chief, but did you hear me making a fuss about that? Is it necessary for me to go comfort her?"Rage quickened her blood and caused her to breathe heavily while she used her hands to support her stomach.Sienna's parents looked into each other's eyes and were dumbfounded. They were mortif
Since Luna and her family were blocked from entering, they could only make a scene outside the old residence. They managed to enter previously because the person guarding the entrance was Old Murphy. He had dementia and did not have a good memory of the most recent news.Luna fooled him while he still remembered Luna as the girl next door whom Freya liked to play with. That was why Old Murphy had allowed Luna to enter the old residence.However, the person on guard was Jacob, Old Murphy's grandson.Jacob did not suffer from dementia and clearly remembered all the bad things Luna and her family did. When Luna and her family arrived at the old residence, he immediately stopped them from entering."You wish to see Miss Freya? Who do you think you are? Do you think Miss Freya will see anyone who comes here and requests to see her?"Jacob was in his early twenties—the age to act impulsive and impetuous. Since Old Murphy worked with the Yuriel family for many years, Jacob was raised in
