A Relentless Pursuit for Love
Chapter 307

Chapter 307 “The whiskey wasn't from the kidnappers? Who were they from?” Jace replied, “Theywere gifted by Sage.” Yoel's eyes widened. “Sage?”

Jace gulped down half a glass and looked up. He visualized Sage’s bright smile. Years ago, whenthey saved her from the kidnappers, her family came and took her immediately. Jace carried her tothe car.

She smiled with her filthy face and asked, “How do I repay you for saving me?” “No need. It's ourduty,” Jace replied. Sage was persistent. “No, I have to. What do you need most right now?" Jacethought for a moment and answered, “We need liquor.”

They found a whole carton filled with whiskey as they cleaned up the place. Back then, he knew thatSage had sent it to them, but he never told anyone about it.

That was why Yoel did not know. His eyes were filled with jealousy. “Hey, we were on that missiontogether. I was considered one of her saviors too. Why did she only repay you? Just because youwere the one who carried her?”

Yoel kept getting angrier by the minute. He felt the need to have a sit-down conversation with Sageabout it, and he hoped to change Sage’s attitude toward him.

Jace did not know why either. He never thought she would repay him because he was just on duty.Jace never understood why she fell for him. He was unsure if he would ever have the chance toreconcile with Sage.

It was difficult to gather the siblings together, and it only happened because of Sage's birthday.They all went back to their respective places after the party. Nigel went back to Rosa Garden to visittheir mother's shrine before heading back to Brown City. Sage frowned as she saw him. “You reek ofalcohol. Did you guys have much to drink last night?” “Really? I showered before I came here.” Nigeltook a sniff, and indeed, he still had an alcohol scent lingering on his body. His dark eye circles wereprominent as well. He scrunched his nose and said, “It was all Luther's fault. He kept making medrink.”

Sage shook her head helplessly and said to Zamora, “Aunt Zamora, please get him some aspirin andmouthwash. He'll be grilled once he’s back at Brown City smelling like that.” Nigel thought of Seanand shuddered. Then, he smiled at Zamora and said, “Please, Zamora.”

Sage laughed and teased him, “Look at you, all obedient to Sean.” Nigel snapped, “No, he's the oneobedient to me.” “Yes, yes, he is. That's why you're so afraid of him,” Sage teased back.

Nigel got mad and wanted to punish Sage. Instead, she ran swiftly up the stairs and held out hertongue cheekily. Nigel exclaimed, “Come down at once! I'll promise not to hit you hard!"
