Jace noticed Sage's confused expression. He pursed his lips and felt a little embarrassed by his mindless words.Sage observed Jace. "What's wrong with you? Did you hurt your brain when you had a bad fever last time?"Jace was rendered speechless. He said sheepishly, "I'm usually pretty smart."Sage snorted and thought, 'Haha. I couldn't tell.'"I'm always flustered on things that have something to do with you," Jace quickly added.Sage noticed. "Are you blaming me now?"Jace shook his head. He said with an obedient look, "I'm sorry. I won't get jealous for no reason anymore." He knew he would be spared from a beating as long as he admitted his mistakes quickly.Sage was not really angry with him. He had admitted his mistake, so she let him go."Let's go home and eat!"Jace had a relaxed smile and nodded happily. For some reason, he really liked listening to Sage saying things like that. It felt like they were going back to their home together. It felt like they were still a f
Jace hastened and ate faster. However, Primrose told him, "Eat slowly and take our time. There's no rush."Jace looked at Primrose with a confused look and puffed cheek filled with food. He wondered if she had something to say to him.Primrose curled up in the chair across from him and arched her eyebrows with a curious look on her face."How are you and Sage doing these days? Any new sparks or progress yet?" Jace almost choked on the soup in his mouth. He swallowed the soup and coughed lightly, then said with a stern face, "I think yes.""I don't want your opinion only. Does Sage think the same way?"Primrose glanced over at Sage and told Jace, "What you think isn't important. What she thinks is the one that counts, okay?"Jace nodded. "I know.""What do you know?"Jace was confused.Primrose looked at the dumbfounded Jace and helplessly shook her head. She sighed, "Hey, Freya is such a smart lady. Why did she give birth to a silly boy like you? You're so dense and slow. Ev
Dave kept jumping around on the internet like a flea. He continued doing it all day and night until the wee hours of the morning.The netizens could not stay up to watch the show. Dave was the only one stirring the news like a one-sided play. Sage stopped replying to him because whatever he wanted to expose was already released by Jace. Dave was left with no other way. Besides, the netizens were not buying his nonsense anymore. Everyone called him out as an attention seeker.The netizens had no other news to read, so they turned off their phone and went to sleep. They did not expect a change of events that happened the next morning.Dave suddenly published a Twidder post apologizing to Sage. He said everything he did was for the sake of attention and profit. He regretted dragging Sage and Norah Jewel into the mess and was willing to pay the price for what he did and accept the legal retribution.The netizens, who had just woken up, were still half-asleep and confused. When they w
"How is that my incompetence? She's the fool with a bad taste in men. How can you blame others?"Dane glared at Francesca. "She was getting along well with Jace before. At that time, I told her to stay in the country and marry Jace. However, she disliked Jace because he was the Yuriel family's grandson. She insisted on breaking up with him and going abroad with us. She didn't study well after leaving the country and kept fooling around with a group of stupid women. She kept changing boyfriends, but none of them are reliable."When Dane was done with Sienna, he started ranting about Luna. "And you too, what kind of man did you find?"Dane scolded his younger sister, "Lucas is just a useless man who had to rely on his ex-wife. He's a country boy with no family background or connection. If it wasn't for the Yuriel family's support, how could he grow his career in Nadeem City? Now, the Yuriel family has taken back everything they gave him. He's back to being a poor man, isn't he? I th
Sage's eyes twitched a little. For once, she was dumbfounded.She looked at Jace's smiling face and softened a little. She gave him a look and said, "Not bad. Now you know women will never be honest with their feelings."Jace smirked proudly and said, "Yeah. Learning is a lifelong journey of discovery."His answer amused Sage and made her let out a low laugh. Her chuckle gave Jace a lot of courage. It also made him more reluctant to part with her. He could not resist anymore and pulled her into his arms.Sage was stunned. His sudden hug caught her off guard. She curled her arms in his arms and could feel the man's heavy breathing.She did not push him away, but for some reason, she felt a little nervous and began to stutter, "Jace, d…don't get ahead of yourself!""Just let me hold you for a little while. Just a little while," Jace said in a low voice.When he panted softly in her ear, his warm breath brushed her ear. Her ear felt so hot, as if it was on fire.After a short mome
"Tsk, tsk. Look! Just look at you! You're as red as a tomato!"Primrose pinched Sage's face. "If you want to smile, just smile. Why are you tensing up? It's not your first embarrassing reaction. Besides, your dad and I have long been used to it. You're our child, after all. We can't just give birth to you again or reshape you. If you can't resist anymore, just pounce at him and do this and that to him…"Primrose did not stop there and started demonstrating her words with all kinds of hand gestures.Sage was rendered speechless. She found Primrose's behavior more embarrassing than Jace's love sign gesture.Sage grimaced with disgust and told Sawyer, "Dad, keep Mom under control.""Okay. I will."Sawyer kissed Primrose and patted her head. "Be a good girl. Let's do this and that at home."Primrose replied, "Oh."Sage was lost for words. As expected, she could not trust a man's promise. What was wrong with her family?!When the plane was about to take off, Sage took out her phone
Sage usually sleeps on flights, but not today. The moment she closed her eyes, Primrose woke her up."Why are you sleeping at such a great time? Get up and get high!" Sage grunted. "Why are you so excited? You can get Dad to accompany you.""If I can get him up, why would I find out?" Primrose was furious. She could not understand the striking resemblance between the father and daughter. They would always get sleepy during flights and could sleep instantly. Sawyer was already soundly asleep. No matter how she tried, she could not wake him up. She had no choice but to disturb Sage instead."Hey, let's talk."Primrose said, "Tell me about your plane crash in Yathein. It's exciting."Sage looked at Primrose in speechlessness. She was bemused, "Mom, your daughter almost died in that crash. What's so exciting about it? Also, do you think it's appropriate to talk about this on a plane?"The other passengers in the first class cabin looked at them in horror. They became inexplicable
Primrose kept chatting with Sage throughout the whole flight. Sage could not get any sleep. When she got off the plane, her eyelids were really heavy.She looked weak and tired. When she followed her parents to the carousel and got their luggage, she received a text message from Jace. [Have you arrived in Salem City?][Sage: Yeah. I just arrived.] [Jace: Good. Did you get any sleep?]Sage typed her reply slowly.[Sage: Nope. The evil Primrose kept talking with me throughout the whole flight. She refused to let me sleep.][Jace: Don't call Mom that. She'll beat you up.]Sage was stunned for a moment. When she saw Jace referring to Primrose as Mom in the text, she woke up at once. Jace was really getting ahead of himself!She blushed and gritted her teeth as she typed her reply.[Sage: Bye!!!]She felt like she could hear Jace's muffled laughter on the other end of the line. When they found their luggage, Sawyer pushed two suitcases their way. Primrose told Sage, "Tell Jace
