"You guys are amazing. Why don't you go and bully your big brother Jace? What's the point of bullying Riley?"

Henry and Zachary rubbed their sore backs from the slaps. "Who would dare to…"

They only knew how to bully the weak! That was why they picked on Riley, the weaker one!

"It's fine. It's fine." Riley was tipsy and drunk. "I only drank a little. It tasted good too. Hehe."

Jace held him up with a helpless face. He said sternly, "Don't drink that much anymore. Good kids don't drink, okay?"

"Oh." Riley nodded after Jace scolded him. "But Sage drank too. Does that make her a bad kid too?" retorted Riley.

He even pointed at Sage and retracted his hand. He was acting just like a kid, ratting others out as well.

Sage was speechless. Jace glanced at Sage and pointed at his head, making a spinning gesture as if she was saying, 'Don't mind the silly kid.'

Then, he told Riley, "I must've said the wrong thing earlier. Good kids can drink too, but they won't get drunk. Your sister-in-l

    The courtyard fell into a dead silence after Riley's performance.There was only the sound of cracking wood and awkward silence. Even Flynn and Gloria were dumbfounded. It was their first time seeing their son so lively as if he had let himself go.The wine drinking opened a whole new world for Riley. Flynn and Gloria saw a different side of him for the first time. They suddenly felt like if Riley was not a chess player, he could be an actor. He was good at acting and lively. Jace was so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear at once. At that moment, he almost wanted to disown Riley, but he could not. After all, he was still the nice Riley.If it were Henry and Zachary, he would have thrown them out effective immediately!He looked over at Sage in trepidation. Sage was speechless and remained silent. At first, she thought Riley was just drunk and talking nonsense, but after his vivid performance, the scene brought back her memories of when she was drunk. Everything she forgot

    "Argh… Jace… It hurts! Ouch!"Jace put Riley on the bed and tucked him in gently. As soon as he turned around, he gave both Henry and Zachary a merciless flying kick.They were all his cousins, but the differential treatment was obvious. Clearly, he favored Riley more. This was a normal occurrence in the Yuriel family. After all, Riley was the most obedient and nice kid. Everyone doted on him.Henry and Zachary were ranked at the bottom of the food chain. They loved Riley too, but they always worked together to prank him.Henry and Zachary both covered their asses and jumped up and down as they grimaced in pain.Jace looked at the two brats with a stern face. He nudged the two perpetrators and asked, "Was it fun to see me embarrassed like that?" Base on pure reflex, Henry and Zachary nodded. Then, they quickly shook their head when they met Jace's warning gaze."No, no. It wasn't fun at all!" Henry said and shook his head like a rattlesnakes tail. Zachary added, "Jace, we'l

    When Jace returned to the courtyard with Henry and Zachary, Sage had drunk more than she could handle. The bottle beside her was half empty.The courtyard still had a light atmospehere. The men had not finished their drinking and chatting yet. Flynn tapped Sawyer on the shoulder and kept calling him a little brother in a very intimate manner.The women started playing card games on the table. Faye watched them and helped her mom as a strategist.Sage was sitting along by the fire. She drank in silence and looked lonely.Under the moonlight, she looked like a lonely shadow in the darkness of the night. Jace's heart ached to look at this scene."Sage, why are you drinking alone here? Come one. I'll join you for a drink."Zachary walked over with a big grin and took a glass with him. Henry came with a glass as well and both of them surrounded Sage with more drinks.Their plan was to get Sage drunk again to recreate what happened back then. They wanted to give Jace a chance to carry

    Then, Jace used the same action and threw Henry to the ground when he picked him up. "This one stinks too!"Sage remained silent. Jace was their dearest eldest brother. Did he think he was anywhere better than them? He reeked of alcohol too."You're no better than them!" Sage glared at him. Jace stood there with a straight posture and looked at her innocently. He pursed his lips and apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss."Sage gave up. If she could, she wanted to let these two brats lie on the ground and sleep the night away. However, she could not bear to leave them here like that. She needed to find someone to help them up.She glanced around the yard but found no one who could help. The men were all too drunk and could not even take care of themself. The women were too into the card game to even offer a glance in their direction. No one was free except for the two of them.Sage surrendered to fate. She told Jace, "What are you waiting for? Get them up.""Yes, Miss." Jace had always b

    Moonlight shone amidst the dark blue night. Sage turned her head and looked at the man beside her with slightly narrowed eyes."Jace," she called out to him.Jace responded immediately, "Yes Sir!""Are you really drunk?"Jace looked straight at her with his dark eyes. "I'm not drunk, Miss. I'm a good drinker. I can drink a lot."Sage heard the same reply again. She sighed helplessly. If Jace said he was drunk, Sage could be sure that he was faking it. However, when he said he was not drunk in such a manner, it made others think that he was probably drunk.She could not tell at all. Was he tricking her? Was he trying to muster his courage by acting drunk and asking her some questions that he would not usually ask?Earlier, he asked her what did she thought about it. He was asking about his confession to her in the office the other day."I want to date you.""I want to be with you and get married to you. I want to grow old together and stay with you forever. I'm serious!"At th

    Sage listened to her mother's tone which reminded her of Jace. She could not help but feel like sighing again."Why do you keep sighing for someone your age?"Primrose noticed Sage's sigh before she even let out her own sigh. She turned on the light at once. "Hey, if something is on your mind, tell me. I'll listen."Primrose leaned over and propped her head up. She looked like she was ready to listen. However, Sage did not really want to share with her. "What's on my mind? I don't have anything to say?""Why not? Are you feeling shy?" Primrose grunted softly."I wonder… Who was the one who kept telling me about her crush. She kept talking about Jace all the time until I was so bored of it. I couldn't stop you from talking about him at all. Now that you're all grown up, you finally feel shy? Alright. If you don't want to share, it's fine. Did you actually think I wanted to know?"Primrose's words made Sage blush. "W-when did I… I didn't do that.""Oh? Are you denying it now? Are

    Jace did not have a good sleep. His grandmother's wine was just too strong, and he had too much wine from dinner.He stood up to take a breather for a while. When he went back to his room, he took a cold shower to calm himself down. As a result, he had a terrible headache and showed symptoms of a cold.He massaged his temple to relieve the pain, but when he closed his eyes, all that came to his mind was Sage's face and voice.The way she stomped on his foot under the table; the way she put his arm over her neck to steady him; the way she pinched his face…She did not mind the slight physical touch with him. It seemed like she was willing to let him come close and was not repelled by him.She did not seem to hate it. Not only that, but she seemed to care for him a lot?Jace was getting more and more confused. Then, he recalled the moment she pinched his face and said to him, "Sober up before you ask me a question like that!"Jace suddenly opened his eyes, his dark eyes glowing br

    Henry and Zachary immediately got worked up when Riley said that. They exchanged a glance and said, "Then, let's help you remember it!"Henry and Zachary were the best at this kind of thing. They stood up in unison and replicated Riley's actions when he got drunk last night. When Riley performed the scene, he played two characters. However, Henry and Zachary were different. One acted as Riley, and the other as Jace. They performed everything Riley did last night in front of everyone, step by step.Jace was forced to reminisce about the embarrassing moment last night. His already aching head hurt even more.Zachary was still in Henry's arm. He looked across at Riley, who was dumbfounded. Zachary asked excitedly, "Well, do you remember now?"Riley gaped in shock. "D-did I really do that last night?" He was so nervous that he stuttered."Yup! Absolutely!" Henry and Zachary nodded furiously.Riley fell silent and suddenly lost his appetite. The egg in his hand did not seem tasty anym

    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.

    "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.

    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.

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."
