Sage narrowed her eyes. “Are you two dating now?”
Leah and Hunter were stunned and looked up at the same time!
“I’d checked, and Mister Wayne is living in Rosa Garden now,” Yoel told Jace the latest information he
received. After that, he took a puff from his cigarettes and continued, “Hey, do you think you need to
reconsider it over again?”
Jace had been pulling the all-nighter last night. There was a ring of black circles under his eyes. He,
too, was smoking to re-energize. He looked at Yoel through the smoke and said with a hoarse voice,
“Reconsider what?”
“That you are going to invite Grandpa Wayne to help Yuriel Jewel. Do you really think Sage will agree
with it?”
Jace was Yoel’s brother from a different mother, so he did not want to see Jace pass away at such a
young age. Yoel tried to talk Jace out of it. “You should know how much Sage protects her family. She
would just ignore you if you tried to set her up. However, if you try to trick her grandpa, she will
definitely try to kill you according to her bad temper!”
Jace smiled bitterly like he had seen all of the cruelty in life. “I rather she tried to kill me or battle it out
with me. I can’t stand her ignoring me like I am just another stranger to her.”
Yoel shook his head helplessly and said, “I think I finally know what a man looks like when he is
desperate. Look at how lowly you are right now.”
Jace did not refute or get angry, he even admitted, “Yeah, I also think that I am very desperate and
lowly.”
Never had him been so desperate before. In addition, he could not help it at all, let alone control
himself. It was like he was bedazzled. Even he himself could not understand what sort of feeling he
had, when and how it started. Probably it was just like the saying, love, a spark from nowhere to
eternity, a www
As Jace had finished changing his clothes, Yoel blinked his eyes and asked, “Are you going to Rosa
Garden to visit Grandpa Wayne? Do you think he will let you in?”
sing his way
Jace said plainly, “I have my way. Bye.”
Yoel saluted and said, “Good luck!”.
When Jace reached Rosa Garden, he informed his wishes to visit Wayne. In the end, as he predicted,
Wayne actually let him in. Not only was he permitted to enter Rosa Garden, but Wayne even invited
him to the workshop. When he saw Wayne, he felt like he was just meeting a very friendly elder. Wayne
was not arrogant just because he was a jade carving master.
“So you are Mendoza’s apprentice?” After Jace nodded in reply, Wayne continued, “I have already
planned to go visit him soon. I didn’t expect him to send his apprentice to visit me first. Come, sit down.
Let me finish carving this hairpin for my granddaughter.”
As Wayne continued carving, Jace sat quietly beside him. He watched how Wayne uses the knife to
skillfully carve the complicated flower pattern on the jade. He thought to himself, ‘Is this how Sage
looks like when she carves? Focused, conscientious and meticulous, as if there was only herself, the
knife she held, the jade in her hand, and the end piece she finished left in the world.
When Wayne finished carving, he blew away the jade chips and was ready to polish the hairpin.
Suddenly, he looked up and glanced at Jace. “Hey, you look very familiar. What’s your full name?”
