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

    Shanie and Sage became friends after their first meeting.Love at first sight could happen between women, not just between men and women.Sage made friends with those she liked. They had to be the right kind of people with nice personalities. She usually got along well with them.Shanie was quite a social butterfly. After getting to know Sage, she made a group chat with Sage, Jenny, and Laura at once. The group chat's name was 'Men, Begone'. It fully manifested the divorced woman's feelings, but she was a little out of place.Laura was invited into the group chat, but the first thing she said annoyed Shanie.[Laura: Should we change the group name? I don't want my boyfriend to begone. He's so good.][Shanie: ...]Shanie sneered and kicked Laura out of the group.Sage glanced at the group name and typed her reply in silence. [Sage: Sorry, I just got a boyfriend too. Do I have to leave too?][Shanie: ...][Jenny: It seems like we're the odd ones out here.]Shanie had no choi

    Shanie was attentive and asked, "You must be wondering why Jenny didn't go with Kyle and chose Dave instead?" Sage nodded. Indeed, she was very curious about it. No matter how she looked at it, she still thought Jenny and Kyle were a better match. Dave was not a good choice for Jenny."Love can't beat reality," Shanie said and shook her head.She explained emotionally, "Kyle isn't from a powerful or prestigious family, but they are still quite a famous family in Shire City. It's normal for them to want Kyle's potential wife to be a good match for him.""Kyle's mother, Madam Yash, didn't like Jenny's family background. Therefore, she did the typical thing and tried to break them off.""Kyle didn't care and eloped with Jenny. However, he didn't expect Madam Yash to approach Jenny's family to force them to break up. Madam Yash went to Jenny's hometown and gave her family some money. After that, Jenny's family came to them and forced her to break up with Kyle." Sage kept frowning a

    Shanie's unpredictable comment came so suddenly and stunned Sage.Shanie then added with a complicated expression, "So what they say is true. Jace isn't good."Sage was lost for words.Jenny slapped Shanie as soon as she said that. "Don't be ridiculous." Sage was stunned by Shanie's comment. "What rumors have you heard?""You didn't see the posts online? Many people speculated about the reason behind your divorce. Most said it's because of a third party in the relationship, but many also said Jace is probably not good in bed. Many people liked the comment."Sage fell silent. She had not seen that thread before and had no idea how she should react to the netizen's wild imagination. "How did they come up with their theory?" Shanie shrugged. "Well, firstly, you two don't have a child. It's normal for a married couple not to have children after years of marriage, so this is just part of the reason behind the speculation. Secondly, many say Jace might have sustained an injury there

    Sage briefly explained her three-year marriage with Jace to them. It was not a marriage with reserved love and respect. Rather, he just did not have feelings for her. She tried various ways to arouse Jace's sexual interest in her, but it never worked. She even once wondered if she was not sexy or attractive enough.Sage felt annoyed thinking about the past. She lifted her head and finished her glass of wine in a gulp."Don't think of it that way. If you look at it again, he's just protecting you with his principle."The experienced Jenny gave some advice to comfort Sage. "There are many men who won't refuse a woman's advance. To them, love and sex can be completely separated matter. They may not love the woman, but they won't refuse those who came to them.""There are also men who can't stand boredom. They want to try something new or cheat. When Dave went to spend the night with a prostitute, I found out and confronted him. However, he kept saying that I was making a big deal out

    Sage scrambled to pick up the towel she dropped and wrapped it around herself again.Shanie and Jenny heard her cry and thought something was wrong. They rushed over in a hurry and asked, "What happened?""It's nothing." Sage managed a smile and pretended that everything was fine. She acted as if nothing had happened."Then get dressed. We'll wait for you outside." Shanie and Jenny walked out after they changed. Sage responded with a hum. Then, she took off the bathrobe to change into her clothes. She quickly shifted her gaze back at the phone and blushed a little. She felt hot.Did Jace accidentally see her earlier? She hung up so quickly. Maybe he did not.Just as she thought of that, her phone rang again. Sage's heart jumped when she saw it was Jace again. This time, it was a voice call instead of a video call.Why? Did he dislike her body? Sage answered the phone with mixed feelings and sounded irritated. "What do you want?""I…I miss you." Jace threw away the bloodstain

    Jace fell silent."Are you trying to say that…" Sage changed her tune and asked, "You're totally uninterested in me?""No way!" Jace had to refute her. He said, "I'm clearly interested in you!"This nose was already bleeding from… Clearly, he was very interested in her.Both of them understood it by heart and let it remain unspoken.The conversation might take a different turn if they continued on this topic. Sage coughed lightly and changed the subject."I'm at the horse farm with Shanie and Jenny. We just got out of the hot spring. Why did you call?"The first part of her sentence was an explanation to him. She did not mean to surprise him and give him a nosebleed. It was purely coincidental. Jace gradually evened his breathing and finally remembered why he had called her. "Oh. Do you remember Howl?""Yeah. He runs a stall at the antique market." Sage walked out of the changing room with her bag. "Did he contact you?""Yup. He went to look for more goods in his hometown an

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.

    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

    "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.
