‘Why do people fall in love? Was it because he was good to you and cared for you? Or
was it because you think he has many strong points and you were slowly attracted to him?’ Sage did
not know the answer. All she knew was that the old Sage used to be like Melody. She suddenly fell in
love with a man, and she could no longer control herself. However, how long could this love continue
on? It was true that she had really fallen deeply in love, and it was also true that she no longer was
now. “Mister Jace.” Sage said slowly as she stretched her lips into a curve, “Are you kidding me?” Not
knowing why, Jace felt his heart stop beating for a second. He was prepared to be rejected by her.
However, he never expected Sage to react this way, disbelieving and teasing him. Like she was saying,
“Celebrate Valentine’s day together? Do you even hear yourself?”
Jace was never a person who would easily fall in love and disregard everything else. He did not have
thick skin like Yoel. However, he totally agreed with Yoel that dignity is the least important when you
want to court a girl. It was said that taking a step back and you could see a bigger sky, but for Jace,
moving forward just one step was hard enough. Regardless of it, he knew there was absolutely no
room for him to retreat.
He twitched the corners of his mouth without smiling and put on a serious face. “Sage, I’m not kidding.
I’m serious. I want to invite you to spend Valentine’s day together with me.”
Sage looked at him and thought, ‘Well, someone clearly does not understand human language.’ She
had no choice but to be more direct and harsh. “Mister Jace, we are divorced,” she said slowly.
“We are not a couple who will keep on clinging to each other after our separation. We are just business
partners now. We chose to open the racecourse on Valentine’s day because we think it brings good
luck to us. That’s all, nothing else.” ‘Does he think that I was hinting at him when I chose to open the
racecourse on Valentine’s day?’
“I know.” Jace looked at her deeply and said, “I don’t expect you to forgive me for the past, nor do I
dare to imagine that we can go back to the past. I just hope that you can give me a chance to start
over.”
Despite hearing what Jace had to say, Sage remained calm. “Mister Jace, Even if you are not tired of
repeating it, I am tired of hearing it. In fact, we will only talk when it is related to business matters. Other
than that, there’s nothing we need to discuss.” She was losing her patience and wanted to say nothing
more. She rested her head on the seat, closed her eyes, and was not prepared to give Jạce any
chances to talk anymore. Jace did not dare to speak rashly, fearing that he would annoy her and she
would request to get down before reaching the destination. In fact, he was quite satisfied with the
current situation. All he needed was to be able to stay beside her, even if she was reluctant to speak to
him.
The air-conditioning in the car was on full power. Sage was wearing a thin shirt. She crossed her arms.
It was a defensive posture. Jace made a gesture to let the driver turn up the air conditioning
temperature. After that, he pulled a thin blanket and put it lightly on Sage’s body. All the while, he held
his breath, fearing that Sage might suddenly wake up and be mad at him.
The driver continued to drive the car steadily toward Yuriel Mansion. Jace leaned back in the seat while
tilting his body a little toward Sage so he could look at Sage. He wanted so much to capture her looks
in his mind and remember it forever so no one else could see her. The only thing in his mind was for
the driver to drive even slower, so he could stay beside Sage for a longer period. However, Yuriel
Treasure Museum was not far away from Yuriel Mansion. Even if the driver was en route or chose a
longer route, it only took half an hour for them to reach. Half an hour later, the cars finally arrived at
Yuriel Mansion. Melody was playing games with Yoel in the living room. As she heard noises from the
yard, she jumped into Yoel’s arms as if she was shocked by electricity and turned into a frightened little
bunny. With the game controller in her hand, she widened her eyes and kept on repeating, “Oh no, oh
no! Dad and aunt are here. Help me, Brother Rich!”
