A Relentless Pursuit for Love
Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Jace looked up at Zachary, “Miss Norah?” “I meant Sage.” Zachary looked at theminnocently, “You two are divorced, right? I can't just casually call her Sage, that's inappropriate.”Jace was speechless. He felt uncomfortable being reminded of his divorce. Being reminded of it feltlike a pinch on his heart.

Zachary on the other hand wasn't bothered at all, and he was all excited, “Sage’s new launch goteveryone in my class discussing it. No one could get their hands on it no matter how long theyqueued. Luckily, I asked for a key charm from Sage beforehand.”

He then continued, “Everyone looked at me in envy when I told them the owner used to be mysister-in-law. It's a pity you two are separated now, if not, I could've gotten more from the backdoor...!

Zachary kept on blabbering on, and on, and on, and every word he said felt like a sword beingstabbed into Jace's heart. His face darkened as Zachary kept talking.

"Nonsense!"

Jace immediately reprimanded his cousin brother, “You should put all of your focus into studying asa student. Stop all this nonsense at once. Have you prepared for your mid-term exams yet? Youseem to have a lot of time on your hands.” Zachary said in a quiet voice, “Why are you so angry?She really is just my ex-sister-in-law, I'm not wrong. You were the one that lost her in the end, whyare you taking it out on me...”

"What did you just say?” Jace was fuming, “Louder, I can't hear you!”

As Jace yelled, Zachary started fumbling backward for an escape. He yelled back as he ran, “. Bro, noone in the family will talk to you again if you don't get Sage back!” Jace’s veins popped out of hisforehead as he watch Zachary run away. He slammed the watering can in his hand.

This rebellious young man is getting on his nerves. Grandma Yuriel did not know whether to laughor to disregard their whole conversation.” Zach said exactly what we wanted to tell you. It's beenages since everything, and you've been in Salem City several times. Any progress?” Jace feltembarrassed, and an additional migraine coming up.

He kept getting questioned about the same issue everywhere he went. Everyone around him keptpressuring him to remarry Sage. “Sage wants nothing to do with me,” Jace smiled bitterly as hereplied, “She pushes me further and further away no matter what I do, I'm out of ideas.”

Grandma Yuriel scoffed and said, “That was how you used to treat her.” Jace looked at her confused."You've been cold to her for the past three years. I saw it myself as you pushed her further away nomatter how hard she tried to please you.” Grandma Yuriel shook her head and continued, “Karmacomes back in a full circle! I can't believe this is happening to you instead now.”

Jace's face darkened completely. “Are you really my grandmother?” Grandma Yuriel stopped teasingJace and recomposed herself. She said to him, “Of course I

am, that's why we want the best for you. We wanted you to marry someone kind and suitable foryou. A good wife bears good future generations too. If you marry poorly, your life will end as youknow it. So you should really consider your options here...” She took the watering can from Jace'shand and patted him on the back, “Alright, go see your grandfather for whatever reason you arehere for. Go before your mom sees you and scold you again.” Jace forced out a smile. His position inthe family was more insignificant than Whiskers the guard dog.
