Sage received a call from Primrose in the afternoon. She wanted to visit the horse farm in the northern
suburbs.
“What a coincidence.” Sage looked up at Yoel and said, “We just brought in a batch of horses from
Riverside City. Someone even reserved two as a gift to you.”
Yoel immediately became alert. “Is that your parents?”
He casually leaned over and shouted to the phone, “Hello, this is Yoel! I’m Sage’s best friend!” Sage’s
ear hurt from his loud voice. She gave him a disgusted look. “Who’s your best friend?”
Primrose’s sweet voice came from the other side, “Hello, I know you. You’re Brother Rich, that guy who
made our precious Melody sad, right?”
Yoel was speechless in ernbarrassment. He suddenly looked up at Sage and Jace and mouthed in
silence, “Who told her that?!”
Sage and Jace shrugged at the same time. It was not them.
“Aunt Primrose, don’t listen to them. I’m a good boy and innocent man.” Yoel tried to clear his name.
Sage and Jace both grimaced. How was he an innocent man?
Yoel had impressive social skills and had some small chats with Primrose. The two had a surprisingly
pleasant talk together and even agreed to meet at the racecourse. “Let’s go. It’s a nice day for horse
riding today.”
The three of them left the Tasteful Restaurant and headed for the horse farm in the northern suburbs.
They arrived first and went to the stables to check on the newly arrived horses. It was a group of good
mix-breed horses.
Yoel was very knowledgeable about horse breeding. While explaining the cross-breeding process to
them, he caught a glimpse of three figures and stopped abruptly. When he stopped, she turned back to
see Primrose, Sawyer, and Melody, who came along with them.
Melody looked unhappy. It seemed like she was reluctant to come along with them.
When Jace saw them, he greeted them fondly and warmer than Sage.
Yoel was always a socialite and talkative. He wanted to speak about many things but went speechless
and froze for a long moment to see Melody.
While Yoel was stunned, Melody followed Primrose and Sawyer and walked up to them. She acted like
she could not see Yoel and only greeted Sage. “Aunt Sage.”
“Hey.” Sage responded and asked, “Why are you here?”
Melody said, “I heard Grandma and Grandpa are back, so I came to visit them.” Yoel kept staring at
Melody. It had not been that long since they last saw each other. For some
reason, he felt like she had grown up and looked a lot taller.
“Melody,” he called her softly.
It was clear that Melody did not want to talk to him. However, she forced herself to greet him as a
courtesy. “Uncle Yoel.”
Yoel was confused. She started calling him uncle instead of Brother Rich. He was not used to hearing it
at all.
Primrose came over and looked at Yoel calmly. “So you’re Rich Fulton?”
This nickname did not strike Yoel hard but made Sage very disturbed. “Mom, his name isn’t Rich
Fulton. Don’t give him nicknames. He’s Yoel.”
Primrose said with a stern look, “But isn’t he rich? Then he’s Rich Fulton.”
Yoel was rendered speechless. He finally understood how Melody got this trait. It turned out to be from
Primrose.
