A Relentless Pursuit for Love
Chapter 458

Chapter 458 “Why do people fall in love? Was it because he was good to you and cared for you? Orwas it because you think he has many strong points and you were slowly attracted to him?’ Sage didnot know the answer. All she knew was that the old Sage used to be like Melody. She suddenly fellin love with a man, and she could no longer control herself. However, how long could this lovecontinue on? It was true that she had really fallen deeply in love, and it was also true that she nolonger was now. “Mister Jace.” Sage said slowly as she stretched her lips into a curve, “Are youkidding me?” Not knowing why, Jace felt his heart stop beating for a second. He was prepared to berejected by her. However, he never expected Sage to react this way, disbelieving and teasing him.Like she was saying, “Celebrate Valentine's day together? Do you even hear yourself?”

Jace was never a person who would easily fall in love and disregard everything else. He did not havethick skin like Yoel. However, he totally agreed with Yoel that dignity is the least important when youwant to court a girl. It was said that taking a step back and you could see a bigger sky, but for Jace,moving forward just one step was hard enough. Regardless of it, he knew there was absolutely noroom for him to retreat.

He twitched the corners of his mouth without smiling and put on a serious face. “Sage, I'm notkidding. I'm serious. I want to invite you to spend Valentine's day together with me.”

Sage looked at him and thought, “Well, someone clearly does not understand human language.’ Shehad no choice but to be more direct and harsh. “Mister Jace, we are divorced,” she said slowly.

“We are not a couple who will keep on clinging to each other after our separation. We are justbusiness partners now. We chose to open the racecourse on Valentine's day because we think itbrings good luck to us. That's all, nothing else.” “Does he think that I was hinting at him when Ichose to open the racecourse on Valentine's

day?’

“I know.” Jace looked at her deeply and said, “I don't expect you to forgive me for the past, nor do Idare to imagine that we can go back to the past. I just hope that you can give me a chance to startover.”

Despite hearing what Jace had to say, Sage remained calm. “Mister Jace, Even if you are not tired ofrepeating it, I am tired of hearing it. In fact, we will only talk when it is related to business matters.Other than that, there's nothing we need to discuss.” She was losing her patience and wanted to saynothing more. She rested her head on the seat, closed her eyes, and was not prepared to give Jaceany chances to talk anymore. Jace did not dare to speak rashly, fearing that he would annoy her andshe would request to get down before reaching the destination. In fact, he was quite satisfied withthe current situation. All he needed was to be able to stay beside her, even if she was reluctant tospeak to him.

The air-conditioning in the car was on full power. Sage was wearing a thin shirt. She crossed

her arms. It was a defensive posture. Jace made a gesture to let the driver turn up the airconditioning temperature. After that, he pulled a thin blanket and put it lightly on Sage’s body. Allthe while, he held his breath, fearing that Sage might suddenly wake up and be mad at him.

The driver continued to drive the car steadily toward Yuriel Mansion. Jace leaned back in the seatwhile tilting his body a little toward Sage so he could look at Sage. He wanted so much to captureher looks in his mind and remember it forever so no one else could see her. The only thing in hismind was for the driver to drive even slower, so he could stay beside Sage for a longer period.However, Yuriel Treasure Museum was not far away from Yuriel Mansion. Even if the driver was enroute or chose a longer route, it only took half an hour for them to reach. Half an hour later, the carsfinally arrived at Yuriel Mansion. Melody was playing games with Yoel in the living room. As sheheard noises from the yard, she jumped into Yoel's arms as if she was shocked by electricity andturned into a frightened little bunny. With the game controller in her hand, she widened her eyesand kept on repeating, “Oh no, oh no! Dad and aunt are here. Help me, Brother Rich!”
