Sage’s smile stiffened when she saw Yoel and Jace’s arrival. Her mouth was set in a hard line. If she
knew they would be here, she would rather not come.
Jace walked to her with a megawatt smile. “Happy Valentine’s day.” Sage did not even smile at him.
She said ruthlessly, “If you really want to make me happy, you should have stayed in the hospital
obediently and not come.”
Jace knew he would be criticized for coming, but he wanted to see her and spend Valentine’s day with
her, so he came anyway. Jace pursed his lips slightly. He wanted to make her happy, but he did not
know what to say. “It’s such an important occasion. How can I leave you alone?”
Sage thought in her heart, ‘Right. At least they care.’
Yoel was much more carefree compared to Jace’s cautious approach. He came over casually and
wrapped his arm around Jace’s shoulder. He greeted, “Sage, Happy Valentine’s day!” Yoel wore a
toothy grin. “Today’s a day worth celebrating. You should cheer up. Come, smile.” Sage felt hurt by
Yoel’s words. “I’m lonely and sad. I’m not spending Valentine’s day.”
Jace did not understand. “What?”
Yoel stared at him with a look of disdain.”Well. She’s spending her Valentine’s alone….”
Jace felt speechless and followed behind Sage. Yoel laughed at Jace and went to rub Sage’s shoulder.
“Hey. Was Melody a witch in her past life?”
Sage gave him a sideways glance.
Yoel complained, “I went to have fun with a girl last night. I wanted to take it further, hoping that I would
be taken before Valentine’s day. I don’t want to spend Valentine’s day alone anymore. Can you guess
what happened? Before I could do anything, a hole appeared in my underwear! It’s so embarrassing. I
lost my mood entirely after that. I got a new pair of underwear today, but it broke again! It has three
holes now!”
“Pfft!” Sage could not hold her laughter and burst out laughing.
Jace looked up suddenly. Sage asked with interest, “What does this have to do with Melody?”
Yoel told Sage about what he promised Melody before they left Nadeem City. He promised not to do
anything romantic, or his underwear would be torn. He never thought it would come true.
“Isn’t this the most vicious curse?” Yoel found Melody to be too scary.
Sage could not help but laugh again. She gave Yoel a look and teased, “You deserved it.”
Sage did not think that Melody’s curse worked. The batch of underwear Yoel bought probably had
some quality issues. However, he felt guilty when he saw the hole, so he dared not to do anything
naughty.
It seemed like Melody was his weakness.
Sage’s mood improved a lot after Yoel’s joke. Jace could see Sage’s smiling face as he followed her.
When he looked at Yoel, who was laughing around with her, he could not help but feel a little annoyed.
For the first time, he envied Yoel so much.
The pre-event preparations were done well, and many people came for its opening. Today was
Valentine’s day and happened to be a Saturday as well. Many couples came to enjoy a romantic date
filled with horse riding, swimming, and hot spring. Many important people from all walks of life from
Nadeem City, Salem City, and Riverside City came to congratulate the Yuriel family, the Norah family,
and the Fulton family on their horse farm’s grand opening.. Yoel and Jace were both good at socializing
and were very comfortable in a social situation like this. Their help eased Sage’s burden a lot.
Many friends from Nadeem City have met Sage before. They knew Sage and Jace were once married
and were surprised to see the two working together again. Sage was no longer labeled as Missus
Yuriel to them. She was the richest woman in Salem City, the young miss from the Norah Group.
In just three months, the eldest daughter of the Norah family became famous throughout the business
world.
After she came back from the dead, she seized power from her uncle and took over the Norah Group.
She took down Jefferson Group and made the Norah Group the richest in Salem City again.
All of these events shocked the nation. It was legendary.
Many media outlets did not know Sage. They had never seen her picture or read any of her interviews,
but they still wrote her impressive success story. Many became interested in her. They were equally
interested in Jace and Sage’s past marriage. “Mister Jace, congratulation. You’ve got such a good
piece of land.”
The chairman from Jordan Group in Nadeem City came with his wife to shake hands with Jace and
congratulate him. Jace smiled politely. “Mister Jordan, thank you. The Norah Group won the land. I’m
just a partner in the project.” “I’ve heard about it, Miss Sage is an amazing woman. Can you introduce
us to her?”
