A Relentless Pursuit for Love Chapter 98
"I was only gone for three years. It's not like I lost my memories, why would I not remember?"Sage was gentle when she dealt with Leah. "I don't have a lot of strengths, but I do have a good memory. I remember those who are good to me, as well as those who have done me wrong. I've never forgotten how it was when we lived together and I probably will not forget the days to come." She continued, "Those who treat me well, I'll be sure to treat them well; those who did me wrong, I'll be sure that they get what they deserve."Leah felt her chest tighten. It was as if Sage had somehow known about the conversation between Yeva and herself. Leah was not a fool. Judging from Sage's cold and distant attitude, as well as her words, Leah was able to guess a thing or two.Compared to her, Sage was observant. Yeva's plan had been obvious when she had contacted Leah and asked her to move into Rosa Garden after years of silence. "I know. You've always been clear on where you stand. The world t

The door was not closed all the way. It was as if Sage had purposely left it open for her.Entering Sage's room, Leah said softly, "Sage, are you still awake?""Yeah."Closing the book in her hands, Sage sat upright, straightening her back, and looked at Leah. "Anything? Come on inside."Leah, dressed in her cotton nightgown that looked thread worn from overwashing, walked over to Sage. Leah felt restrained as she took careful steps across the expensive carpet as she did not wish to dirty it."Come, sit here," Sage said to Leah. She handed her a shawl. "I don't usually switch on the heater, so it might be cold for you here. Take this and wrap it around yourself. I don't want you to catch a cold.""Thank you."Leah thanked Sage politely and sat upright in the chair with her hands placed on her knees as both her legs were pressed against one another.Sage could not help but chuckle at the sight of Leah's careful behavior.Three years ago, she had learned from Leah how to behave

"I am aware," Sage replied, showing no signs of surprise.In shock, Leah's eyes widened. "You knew about it?"Sage scoffed, "Her petty tricks are written all over her face."Taken aback, Leah stared at Sage who looked calm and composed as she strategized. As if she suddenly realized something, Leah asked, "So you already guessed that I'd come to find you, right?""You're way smarter than her. Of course, you'd know right away who's the one you can rely on."Sage added, "Although I look frail, I’m reliable."Leah could not help but laugh. "I am forsaking the darkside for the light.""Mm, sounds about right."Sage pinched Leah's cheek softly and smiled ruefully. "Your face used to be so chubby back then, but look at you now, all skin and bones.""Don't you know that being thin is the new black these days? My friends are jealous of my small face."Sage shook her head. "It doesn't matter whether you're thin or chubby, as long as you're healthy. Starting from tomorrow, we'll make s

A night had passed just like that.Yeva felt a piercing pain in her hand the moment she woke up. Knitting her brows into a frown, Yeva cursed at Sage nastily again.Going downstairs, she noticed that both Sage and Leah were already having breakfast, and the both of them were chuckling while talking, looking as if they were on fairly good terms with each other.Yeva opened her eyes wide and froze as she thought to herself: 'What the hell is going on?''It's only been one night, and Leah has managed to get Sage's trust? What possibly did I miss?'"Good morning, Sage."In an attempt to get attention, Yeva greeted Sage politely.Sage simply glanced at her. Leah, who was sitting opposite Sage, also greeted Yeva, "Morning, Yeva.""Morning to you, too," With a smile on her face, Yeva sat down next to Leah. Studying the looks on their faces, she asked carefully, "What were you guys talking about? You look so happy."Sage continued eating and did not say anything.Leah took a look at

Feeling horrified, Yeva shot her eyes wide open. Leah too looked at her in a daze, "How did you know?""You can get everything from the internet these days."Gnawing on her lips, Yeva retorted, "If I can't go to Jewel Norah, then let me work at Norah Entertainment. Even though I don't know anything, I’m pretty. Plus, I know quite a lot of artists.""By artists, you meant Minnie and the rest of the girls from Starship Entertainment? They were kicked out of the industry for insulting someone. The entertainment industry is also complicated for someone like you. With that dumb brain of yours, you won't be able to stay long.""What did you say? They were kicked out?"Yeva was startled by the news so much that she missed Sage's insult at her. Still in shock, she asked, "Who did Minnie offended?"Sage uttered lightly. "Me."Yeva was rendered speechless.After breakfast, Sage and Leah left the dining table. Neither of them bothered to take another look at Yeva who was still shocked by

On the other end of the phone, Yoel was still rambling on.Sage felt anger ripple through her and rage throbbing in her like a heartbeat. Tightening the grip on the phone, she seethed, "Go f*ck yourself!"She then ended the call.Seeing how Sage's face was overcast, Leah was startled but soon got worried about her. "What's wrong, Sage?"As soon as she ended the call, her phone rang again but this time, there was no caller ID and a string of numbers that Sage was ever so familiar with.Clenching the phone in her hand tightly, Sage felt the situation ridiculous.If she was right, this was the first time Jace had actually called her first.Letting out a sigh to calm herself, Sage answered his call.As soon as the call was connected, Sage heard that deep and husky voice of his. "Hey."He sounded as if he had just woken up.Indeed, Jace had spent a night in the car, and he had just woken up.He wanted to call Sage last night, but it was already too late in the night, and he did n

"I'm in a rush. Let's just cut to the chase."Compared to him, Sage seemed to have the demeanor of a business tycoon. Dressed in a formal orange suit, she looked elegant and sophisticated.But for some reason, there was a cold vibe surrounding her."Okay," Jace had always been a direct person, and he disliked people who were long-winded, either. Since Sage had asked him to cut to the chase, he asked bluntly, "Are you the girl who was kidnapped ten years ago at Cloud Forest?"Sage felt her chest tighten and felt a knot in her stomach. She thought that she had mentally prepared herself, but the moment he threw this question, her mind was immediately flooded by the flashbacks.Forcing herself to meet his gaze, she replied, "Yes. You were the one who saved me."Jace felt as if someone was tugging at his heartstrings.Even though he knew the answer, but when Sage admitted it herself, he was still startled. Meeting Sage's gaze, he felt something bubbling inside of him.Jace thought t

When Sage said those words with no emotions on her face, Jace felt as if his heart had stopped beating.He finally understood how it felt like to be disappointed and heartbroken.It was not because he had never experienced a breakup.Back then when Sienna wanted to break up with him, he remembered being angry at her for not being able to trust him.After that, Jace had chosen to believe that relationships were fragile and that was why he closed himself off to everyone else.Later, Sage showed up when he was at the worst of his health and temper. He remembered that he did not even give her a smile or even praised her.Now that he thought about it, Sage would never have stayed this long by his side if it was not because of her feelings for him."I'm sorry," Jace apologized to her again, "I've ruined everything for you."Sage pulled into a slight smile and said, "You don't have to be sorry for not having feelings for me.""I…" Before Jace could finish his sentence, Sage cut him

Sage heard of the saying, 'Marriage is for happiness, and so does divorce.'Based on Wikipedia, the definition of marriage was, 'Marriage is a long-term contractual relationship between a man and a woman based on equal consent.'Someone once said, 'Marriage is like a siege. Those outside wanted to break in, while people inside wanted to break out of the siege.'Sage and Jace had been through marriage once. In their first marriage, they were both losers. This time, they were both determined to win. They wanted to live their lives well. Even if their passion were to fade in the future, they would never leave each other.

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

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.
