Jace knew who Sage meant when she said ‘they‘. He just did not expect them to come
back so soon. It seemed that their operation to get Shawn was going well and ended early. He said
without any hesitation, “I‘m going to Salem City with you.”
Sage said, “No need. You‘re back after a long time. Spend some time with your family. How can you
leave right after coming back?”
Jace frowned. “But you...I‘m worried about letting you go back alone.”
“Tim sent a plane over to get me. Ross is also in Nadeem City, so he‘s coming with me.”
“But...”
“No more buts.” Sage breathed a soft sigh. “Our family reunion is not as warm as yours. It may be a
bloody storm. You‘d better not see it.”
Jace arched his brow slightly.
It so happened that Primrose had said the same thing. He did not quite understand howa family
meeting could be so serious as to be a bloody storm.
Although Jace insisted, Sage refused to take him back to Salem City with her. She looked like she was
about to get angry, so Jace had to do as he was told. “Alright. Then I‘ll go to Salem City in a few days.”
Seeing Sage‘s frown, he hurriedly said, “I have to talk to you about work.” When she heard it was a
work matter, her brows relaxed.
Since Jace was back, she could finally shake off the Yuriel Group‘s burden on her. When her parents
return, she could take off the Norah Group‘s burden too. She would soon be able to play at ease. The
thought of it made her mood soar. Naturally, she looked happier.
She answered with a faint hum and did not stop him anymore.
“Stay home with your grandparents and Aunt Freya these few days. Don‘t go around. Also, there‘s no
hurry with work.” Jace nodded gently. “I know. I‘ll do as you say.” Perhaps Sage had gotten too used to
training the children. When Jace said that, she subconsciously replied, “Good boy.” Her mouth was
faster than her brain. Both of them fell silent.
Sage felt that the air was silent for a few moments after she said that, but Jace looked natural. She was
the only one that felt embarrassed. After that, Sage waved goodbye to the Yuriel family and left with
Wayne. She took him to the car and headed to the airport. Wayne smacked his lips. “Good boy? Now
that Jace is back, why do I feel things are getting a little weird between you two this time?”
Sage looked up immediately. “I....Is that so?”
“Yes.” Wayne held his pipe and nodded with a serious face. “However, people will change after
experiencing life and death. Jace seems to be more mature than before. He has become a better
person. However, why do I see your father‘s shadow on liim? What‘s going on?“.
Sage was slightly stunned at these words, but the tension in her heart was somehow relieved.
Jace had spent more than half a year living with her parents. With her parents‘ ability to influence
people, it was only natural that Jace learned from them.
However, Wayne only said so much because he wanted to inquire about her parents.
“Sage, your name on Jace‘s head is Sawyer‘s script, right? I forced him to improve his handwriting
when he was a kid. I could tell his script right away!”
Wayne snorted softly. “Meanwhile, the haircut is definitely Primrose‘s. She loves to shave patterns on
others‘ heads. She used to cut roses for your dad on the back of his head. She even wanted to cut a
pipe for me, but I scolded her!”
