Sawyer and Primrose nearly choked up by what he said.
They, too, had wished the same for Sage.
Sage was their daughter, their only child, and they were willing to do anything to make sure that Sage
was the happiest and most loved person on earth.
Of all the things that Primrose had taught her daughter, from protecting herself and working efficiently t
o making sharp and good decisions, Primrose left out one important thing, how not to lose yourself in a
relationship.
It was because she, too, had never learned that.
With no one to love, a woman can be powerful when she is alone.
No matter how strong–

Primrose nodded. “Exactly!”
Jace pressed his lips tightly together. He did not know what else to say.
Jack, who was listening to their conversation, felt helpless. “I mean, can you both stop taunting my pupi

However, Sawyer and Primrose laughed and relaxed a little. Primrose said, “Who are you trying to trick?

Primrose and Sawyer yelled, “Get lost!”
It was as if Jack was struck by three flashes of lightning. He immediately scrambled out of the room.
“I see it now. The three of you have always been a family while I am the outsider.” Family? Primrose and
