A Relentless Pursuit for Love
Chapter 317

Chapter 317 There were all sorts of appliances in the kitchen area of Lincoln's hotel room. Sageinstructed Hunter to go grocery shopping. He went to the seafood market for a variety of freshseafood as well. Ark Town was famous for its seafood. She could turn them into delicious dishes.Sage put on an apron and prepared the fish, crabs, and other shellfish. The fishy smell engulfed theentire space.

Lincoln wore a casual lounge set as he came out of the bathroom. He still looked elegant. WhenLincoln was young, he, too, was an award-winning actor. Even though he chose to be a director, hestill maintained his image.

Lincoln walked over to the kitchen with his slippers on and asked, “Can we finish all this food?Sage replied, “I'm cooking for four. There are two kids in the hospital waiting to be fed.” “Kids?”Lincoln smiled as he continued, “As far as I'm aware, you're not much older than Dean, yet you takehim in as a kid? It's not impossible to develop a relationship with him, you know.”

Sage shook her head as she let out a helpless smile. “Uncle Lincoln, what are you talking about?Lincoln took a bite of the raspberry Hunter bought and sat on a bench while he watched Sagegetting busy. “I'm not spewing nonsense. People are saying that you have an unusual relationshipwith Dean, and you came just for him.”

“Dean is an artist under my company, and he's one of the money-makers. Of course, I need to behere for him."

Sage slit the fish's belly without looking up as she continued, “You know me. I'm one of theprotective ones. I'll fight for my people until the end.”

Lincoln sighed, “I know. You're just the same as your mother. She can be wronged, but she can’tstand her loved ones being wronged. Florence and I were best friends with your mom for a reason.I'd be long gone without her.”

Sage fried the battered fish in the pan and replied lightly, “I have to be in charge of my people,family, and loved ones. Frankly, I don't bother about the others. Regarding Dean's injury, I have toanswer to him.”

Lincoln knew precisely who she referred to. He pursed his lips and sighed, “Jaxon didn’t have a goodlife. He's been in the industry for quite some time now, yet all he needed was some luck. Maybe hethought he was getting too old. That's why he did what he did. You know me, I wouldn't use him ifhe wasn't capable. I didn't think this would happen today.”

Sage was unfazed."Every action has consequences. People need to reap what they sow. This is thelast chance I'm giving him. If he still has a little pride left in him, he would know what to do next. Icare for the weak, not those with evil intentions.”

She flipped the fish, and it made a crackling sound.

After having dinner with Lincoln, Sage got Hunter to deliver the other half of the meal to Dean andJim at the hospital. Upon reaching the hotel, Hunter said to Sage in a low voice, “Miss Sage, Sunnyjust contacted me saying Jaxon is waiting in your room, hoping for your guidance.

Sage replied in an icy tone, “Guidance... Fine, ask him to pick Jaxon up in twenty minutes.”

Hunter nodded and watched as Sage entered the room. “Miss Sage... Please be careful. Don't fallinto his trap.” Sage let out a scoff. “Can he trick me?".
