Chapter 95
Yoel was plunged into disbelief and shock after he had heard Jace’s assumptions,
“So you’re saying that Sage had married and taken care of you for three years, just so that she could repay your kindness. She is doing this because you saved her ten years ago?”
“Yeah.” Jace was rather sure that this was the case.
“Goodness gracious.”
Yoel slowly came back to his senses, but he was still flabbergasted. “It’s like a scene right out of a drama. How is it possible that a woman would still think of marrying a man as a form of repayment?”
“I don’t think she did it just because she wanted to repay me.”
Jace narrowed his eyes. For some reason, he was reluctant to think that Sage had only married him for the sake of repaying his kindness. He then told Yoel what Finn had told him earlier,
Trying to calm himself down, Yoel drank some tea out of his father’s teacup, but as soon as Jace mentioned that Sage had a crush o n him for ten years, Yoel spat out the tea,
Yoel’s father, who had just gotten spat on, was annoyed, and he kicked his son out of his study,
Walking out of the study room, Yoel closed the door behind him. He asked in disbelief, “Are you serious? Sage had a crush on you for ten years? Are you sure you’re not delusional?”
Pressing his lips together, Jace replied solemnly, “I’m not a narcissist. I won’t joke about this kind of stuff.”
“You’re right. But I still find it hard to believe.”
Upon returning to his own room, Yoel poured himself a glass of wine. “Well, now that you’ve got your answers. What do you plan to d o? But let me remind you that these are all your assumptions. Do you have evidence?”
“This is why I need your help.”
Yoel rambled on, “I have yet to try Sage’s cooking so I don’t know if it’s true. But Sage did say that she’d cook for me when she’s in a good mood, and I’m already feeling excited.”
Jace felt his heart drop. Even though he had never seen Sage doing any of those things that Yoel had described, he was able to imagine her doing it.
It was as if he was trying to grip onto something, Jace tightened his grip around the glass until his knuckles tumed white.
She had lied to him!
Not only was she a member of the Norah family, but she was also a professional hacker and professional chef.
Why did he not know any of these?
All Jace wanted to do right now was to grab Sage by her shoulders and demand an explanation from her.
