The office fell into a dead silence again. No one said anything because of Tim's oppressive silence. Luther wanted to say something and ease the tension, but when he glanced at Tim's cold gaze, he decided to shut up. It was better to wait and see at a time like this. Sage was still kneeling on her knees. There were carpets around the coffee table, so kneeling did not hurt much. She was more anxious about Tim's attitude.She was not afraid of Tim's punishment for her. After all, Tim was her big brother. Even if he got angry with her, he would just give her the cold treatment for a few days. However, it was different for Jace.Sage had been planning for so long and thought of all sorts of situations, but she never expected that Jace and Tim would meet in such an awkward situation. She was trying to figure out how to help Jace escape under Tim's nose. Then, Tim suddenly said, "Get up."Sage was puzzled. She looked up in confusion and thought she had misheard him. Tim sat there
Sage was still worried. She feared that Tim would go overboard.She urged, "He's not fully healed yet. He can't take a beating."If it were before, she would just leave him alone. However, Jace was her boyfriend now. She had to protect him.When Tim's eyes became stern, Luther trembled and quickly dragged Sage out. "My God! Cut the crap!"After the door was closed, only Tim and Jace were left alone in the office. It was a dead silence again.Tim's attitude changed in Sage's absence. His cold and handsome face remained expressionless, and his tone was devoid of warmth. "I don't like you," he cut to the chase and said frankly.Jace stood there and responded, "I know." He seemed unsurprised.As long as Sage liked him, it was more than enough. That was what Jace really wanted to say, but saying this would be a provocation. He did not care about Tim's impression of him, but he did not want to make things difficult either.After all, as Sage's older brother, Tim would be his future
Before Sage could react, she heard a cold and stringent voice coming from behind Jace."How old do you think you are? Where's your manners? Why did you eavesdrop?" Tim asked.Sage continued to lean on Jace's chest while looking into Tim's eyes. Although he had a stone-cold look on his face, he had restricted himself to encompass less chilling vibes.'Looks like…they had a good talk?' Sage thought.Tim looked at Sage's posture and frowned, "How long do you intend on sticking on him?"Sage looked down and immediately realized they were in a very vulgar position. Without any delay, she tried to get up. Jace lightly held her up so she could stand up straight and steady. She frowned and felt a little embarrassed.Then she unconsciously looked up and saw Jace. Coincidentally, Jace was looking down, and their eyes met each other.Jace stretched his lips into a thin smile with his eyes sparkling to emit warmth and strength. It helped to smooth Sage's unsettling emotion, so she felt more
Sage was amazed at it and mumbled to herself, "Maybe he is getting older."Jace heard that and burst out in laughter. "Don't let Tim hear that, or else he will really be angry at you.""Of course, I won't say it to his face. I'm not that stupid." Sage rolled her eyes.Then Jace smiled and patted her head."Since Tim has given his consent, there's nothing else anymore. We can be in a relationship without any worries now." Sage crackled as she talked.Jace felt Sage's happiness as he saw her smiling so brightly. The corner of his lips lifted too."Then…" He slightly bent his body and used his nose to rub on Sage's nose while breathing onto Sage's face. "Shall we continue?"Sage's body trembled as if an electronic wave had shocked her body. "Con…continue what?""Kissing," Jace answered.Sage was so shy that she was lost in words.For the entire afternoon, Sage and Jace had been together. While she was working, Jace would sit on the couch reading and looking at Sage occasionally.
When the night fell, Jace returned back to his room at Skye Hotel. Room 77 had nearly become his own personal apartment unit. Originally, Sage was preparing to bring him back to Rosa Garden, but Jace told her there was no rush for that. He needed to prepare something.Sage did not understand. "What else do you need to prepare?""It's the first time I'm going to your house to see your parents. I need to prepare some gifts for them," Jace said while holding Sage's hand.Sage blushed and looked at him helplessly. "It's not the first time you have come over to my house. They already know you.""It's not the same. I'm your boyfriend now." When Jace referred to himself as Sage's boyfriend, he looked very proud. Truth be told, he was just childish, like a little boy.There was a weird feeling in Sage's heart too. They were married once before, but after all those marriage years, she still felt like she was in love for the first time. It felt so sweet. Any little gestures or words she rec
After Jace hung up the phone, he scoffed and shook his head while looking very remote. 'I really do not understand what kind of people The Zeldas are…'His abdomen was still hurting after the three punches he suffered from Tim. He pulled his top up and sprayed the pain relief spray he bought from the pharmacy.The door was unlocked. Jace looked up and made eye contact with Yoel, who was walking in. Yoel saw him and his eyes sparkled. "Yo! You're here. Do you know that I'm coming so you are waiting for me? Warming up the bed to wait for me?"Yoel was still the same old annoying person. Jace could not be bothered to deal with him and continued on to spray the pain relief spray on his abdomen.When Yoel saw the bruises, his face changed. He slammed the door and quickly walked toward Jace. He asked, "You got punched?"Jace responded lightly."Who did it?" Yoel bent over and reached his hand out to poke at Jace's bruises, hurting Jace. He frowned and said, "Move your dirty finger away
In reality, Sage was quite calm about being in a relationship. If you ignored the fact that she suddenly laughed during dinner…Everyone focused their attention on her while looking very puzzled. Sage stayed calm and stopped laughing while she continued to eat her dinner."You got a boyfriend. What's the big deal? Do you need to laugh so hysterically?" Primrose rolled her eyes at Sage."Yea." Luther agreed with Primrose and talked with a hint of jealousy. "You got a boyfriend. It's not a big deal."Sage did not dare to talk back to her mother when Tim was around, but that did not stop her from refuting Luther. "It is a big deal that I have a boyfriend." Then she stuck her tongue out at Luther arrogantly.Luther was speechless. "Mom, how old is your daughter?"Primrose answered, "Three is the limit.""That's right! No wonder she is so childish." Luther complained, "I always hear people saying that being in love will reduce a person's intelligence. It's better that I don't find a
Primrose was speechless. Sage noticed Melody was still in her school uniform and frowned. "Aren't you taking your entrance exams soon? Why aren't you at school? What are you doing here?" Melody swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "I'm on course to gain a degree without the exam. Ross went to pick me up at school. Consider it an early vacation for me."Luther, who had been through the torture of the college entrance exams, could not help but cast an envious look at Melody."What university did you get into?" Melody was too busy eating to talk, so Ross answered for her, "Riverside Medical University.""Riverside Medical University? That is your university of choice?" Melody nodded. Sage looked at Melody. The lights in her eyes flickered slightly. She asked Melody, "Why do you suddenly want to go to Riverside City?"Melody swallowed the food in her mouth quietly and said, "It's beautiful there."Sage thought to herself, 'Do you think I'll believe that? It's not the sc
