A Relentless Pursuit for Love
Chapter 482

Chapter 482

Sage remained impassive. She raised her eyes slightly and met Freya's gaze. Freya's eyes resembledJace's a lot.

She said slowly, “Aunt Freya, I'm grateful for the kindness I received, but I'm also very vengeful. Ihold grudges against those who have hurt me. In the past three years, I hid my identity and marriedJace. I have no regret staying by his side to take care of him. However, we're not fated, and there's abeginning and end to everything. I've suffered enough, and I don't want to go through it again.”Her intention was clear.

Freya sighed. “I understand. When I was young, I was more stubborn than you. I couldn't lose. WhenI first knew about Lucas's affair with Luna, I couldn't accept it. I made a big fuss over it and foughtwith him. Many advised me not to divorce. After all, how could a man stay loyal forever? They saidhard days would pass eventually. Besides, I had a child.” She scoffed bitterly. “I didn't care aboutthem at first. I wasn't the one who cheated, so why should I tolerate it? Before I got married, I toldLucas this. If he were to cheat, I'd do the same to him. He was so angry with me and said I didn’ttrust him. He said anyone could cheat, but not him.”

"See. He's the one who cheated in the end. Sadly, I couldn't do the same disgusting things he did.”There was a pricking pain in her heart when she talked about her past again. Her scars had healed,but they still hurt.

Freya narrowed her eyes. “We were good together for quite a while. When everything shattered, itbecame unbearable. Maybe it was because of the good relationship we had that I felt betrayed.”"At that time, I was tired of loving, but I was unwilling to divorce so easily. Why should 1? Why me?Was I not good enough? I kept asking myself over and over again, but I just didn't understand.”Sage's heart trembled in pain. Why was it so similar to her past three years? Women and men weremade up differently. Women were generally born with stronger empathy than men. No matter howsensible a woman was, they might become emotional and vulnerable in an invested relationshipwith a man she really loved. A woman might become more and more insecure in a relationship,probably because of the partner or her own reason. When that happened, the woman would fallinto a great depression, constantly searching for reasons. It was like walking into a dead end with noroad ahead. She would be unwilling to retreat, so it became a stalemate. This would go on until oneday when she could not walk anymore. One day, the man you once loved would wake you up with aslap in the face, telling you to stop dreaming! Your relationship was over. Hurry and leave!

By then, you would be crushed, but you would wake up instantly. In a relationship, whoever investedthe most with more love than the other would always be the loser.

That meant Sage and Freya were both losers in love. They were willing to sacrifice for their beloved,but they could return to reality and be kings. Freya told Sage, “Sage, maybe there's no real empathyin this world. We've all been hurt in love, but only we know-how much it hurts. I won't advise you toget back with Jace, but he’s my son. I really want you as my daughter-in-law, so I'll try my best tomatch you with him.” "Huh?" Sage was startled. Freya changed her tine so quickly and caught Sageoff guard. She choked out, “Aunt Freya.” Freya burst into laughter and shouted to Jace outside,"Jace!"

ESTATE The door opened almost immediately. Jace came in with a handsome face scorched withworry. “Mom, what's wrong?"** “Please tell Wendy to come in. I want to speak to her.” Freyaordered Jace sternly, “Sage and Dr. Samuel traveled a long way here. They took so much effort tohelp me with my legs. You must take care of them, okay? Treat Sage to a meal and thank her for herkindness.”
