Ten minutes ago, Jace looked at the group chat on Zachary’s phone titled ‘Without Jace’. Only then did
he realize that almost everyone from the Yuriel family, as well as Sage, was in the group chat. He was
the only one that was not in it. His calm and quiet face was as deeply mysterious as the ocean. As he
looked at the lively and extremely happy group, he could not help but lift his eyes and shoot Zachary a
cold glance.
Zachary stood sheepishly in front of Jace. After Jace glared at him, his knees also gave way.
Zachary stammered with embarrassment, “J- Jace…You can’t blame me for this. It’s Grandpa who
asked me not to add you to the group. He said if you’re in there, you’ll easily affect the mood.”
Jace was speechless. Ever since he divorced Sage, being despised by his family was already the norm
for him. However, never in his wildest dreams would he expect that they would start a group chat
behind his back, and they had no intention of letting him join in on the fun at all. “Do you have Sage’s
number?” As he asked, he had already accurately found Sage’s profile photo Her profile photo was a
cartoon girl smiling while looking down, and the background was a bed of roses. Jace suddenly was
reminded of a quote from Tagore’s Stray Birds. ‘You smiled and talked to me of nothing, and I felt that
for this, I had been waiting long.’ His heart started pounding without reason. Zachary’s voice rang in
Jace’s ears. “Of course, I am the group admin. If I don’t have Sage’s number, how could I add her to
the
group?”
He paused as he said that, and then he looked at Jace with a profound gaze. “Jace, don’t tell me you
don’t have Sage’s number? Could it be that she had deleted your contact or blocked you?”
Jace was speechless. As usual, the boy was very bad with his words. He always rubbed the salt right
into the wound. Jace was too lazy to argue with him. He said straightforwardly, “I’m taking over this
account. Go get yourself a new one.” Zachary was shocked and confused. He objected, but it was
overruled. Jace logged into Zachary’s WhutsApp account and deleted all his contacts but only kept
Sage’s.
After he pondered for a long time, he finally sent her a message. It was slightly weird and embarrassing
to be sending a message to his ex-wife while
impersonating his cousin, but Sage was ignoring him at that moment. Therefore, he had no choice but
to use that method to interact with her. After chatting for a while, he was satisfied that Sage did not
notice something was wrong. However, the way Sage treated his family gave him mixed feelings. She
truly took care of them as her own family.
At that moment, he suddenly realized why everyone in his family liked her and trusted her that much,
and also why they were closer to her than him. After a long time, Jace slowly typed out a response.
(No. I just hope you’ll take good care of yourself.) Sage had just finished applying some body lotion
when she heard a sound. She picked up phone and saw the message that Zachary had sent after a
long delay. She felt that it was baffling She frowned and sent a reply. (Has your account been
hijacked?] Jace was speechless. After being busy for the entire day, Sage was extremely sleepy.
However, she did not think too much about it. She got into bed and fell asleep immediately. On the
other hand, Jace could not sleep for the whole night. He was lying in bed and was playing the videos
that Faye had brought back. The videos of the international conferences were information for the
internal use of the Institute of Interpretation, and they were not released to the public, Jace saw another
part of Sage because of that. At that time, she was probably still about 16 years old. Her pretty face still
had the tenderness of her baby fat, but she was already a beautiful girl.
