A Relentless Pursuit for Love novel Chapter 507

Chapter 507

Laura pursed her lips with a displeased expression. “I’m ashamed of having such a humiliating ex-colleague!”

Sage smiled half-heartedly and replied, “Yes, he’s blind, but not entirely wrong.”

Sage was a little tipsy, and she was slightly fazed.

“I hid my true identity from him for three years. I kept everything about Sage Norah in the dark, and every single day, I was worried that my true identity would be exposed. “I became an entirely different person. I was no different than a people-pleasing puppet. How could Jace like me when I don’t even like myself?”

Laura thought for a moment and suddenly asked, “You know, I previously had a crush on Jace. Do you know how he rejected me back then?”

Sage looked up and sneered, “He only had eyes for Sienna at that time, and he must’ve told you that he had someone else in mind.”

Laura replied, “No. He told me that… he’s a killer, not a lover.”

Sage was dumbfounded. “What a stupid man.”

Laura laughed and added, “He was what they called a killing machine back then. He would always be at the frontlines, no matter how dangerous or challenging the mission was. “As one of the most powerful packs of the nation, we have to face any danger and fearlessly fight for our country. However, Jace was the only one who was truly unafraid of death.” Sage blinked for a bit as Laura’s tone suddenly became solemn.

“I remember there was a time we were under orders to kill the commander of our enemies. It was literally mission impossible, but we had no choice but to just go for it. Everyone in our force had to write suicide notes for our loved ones, and we were prepared to sacrifice ourselves.

She added, “In Yoel’s letter, he reprimanded his father for sending him to die at a young age and not to blame him if he died. Jace was the only one without a note out of the nine of us.”

Sage’s heart muscles tightened. Then, she asked, “Why so?”

Aunt Wendy recalled the scenario and said sadly, “Since then, Jace became quiet and reserved. He no longer put a smile on his face. Luna manipulated Jace and Madam, and they slowly grew distant from each other. Since Madam and Mister Lucas got divorced, Madam became stricter toward Jace.

“During that time, Jace wanted to join the army. However, everyone in the household disagreed with his decision, and Madam was worried for his safety. Madam told him if he joined the army, she would disown him, and his life and death won’t matter to her,” Aunt Wendy told Sage

Sage remembered the day Jace saved her in the woods. It was extremely dangerous since anyone could lose their lives entering the territory.

As Sage almost gave up on her life, Jace came and gave her the will of hope.

Alas, Jace was not a loving person. Sage drank her glass of wine, and she felt bitter in her heart. He was a man she had loved for a decade…

She would rather not have Jace go through all those hardships. She could make peace with the fact that he did not love her.
