A Relentless Pursuit for Love
Chapter 652

Chapter 652

It had been a while since Sage left Salem City.

Jace had been staying in Salem City without returning to Nadeem City.

He had been watching Jekyll, as well as Sienna and Peter Sage's safety would still be a concern if theissue persisted.

Simon thought Jace and Sienna had gotten back together when he learned that Jace had beentracking Sienna He called Jace and lectured him furiously.

Jace had to explain himself over and over again before Simon would believe that he was doing it forSage and not for Sienna.

Simon's attitude changed in an instant upon learning that Jace was indeed doing it for Sage.

"Oh, it's for Sage, I see. You should've said so earlier, I could've saved my energy from yelling atyou."

“Fine then, I can't care much about what you kids are doing these days, but if you manage to winSage back, I'd give you a reward.”

Jace sighed in relief after hanging up the phone, unsure whether to cry or laugh.

Reward.?

That old man was so naive.

Jace was in no place to ask for any rewards right now, so long as his past deeds were forgiven.

Jace would inform Sage at once when he noticed there were any changes with Sienna and Peter. Hewould not say anything more than that as he was worried that Sage would feel annoyed ormisunderstood that he was still involved with Sienna.

Sage's replies were short and straightforward as well. It would just be “Noted or “Okay’. The longestone being “Alright’. He would even make sure to only send the texts during the day in Birminghamto avoid disturbing her rest time.

Sage's replies were short, but she would always reply right away. Today, however, was different. Shehad not replied in more than half a day.

Jace had been holding onto his phone and waiting patiently. Zayne came in to update on theprogress of the antique restoration project and brought in the documents that needed to besigned.

Jace had been going to Salem City very frequently lately, so his managers and workers under himhad been sending all the files and work over to Salem. Jace finished all the urgent work and checkedhis phone again, but still no reply from Sage.

He wondered what Sage was up to.

Jace's phone rang at that moment. He quickly checked and realized that it was not from Sage butfrom Lucas

Jace's excitement was gone in an instant. He frowned and picked the phone up. Lucas’ gentle voicealong with the sound of the wind was heard from the other side of the phone, saying, “Jace, I'm inSalem City. Let's meet up.”

Jace and Lucas went to meet in a cafe.

It was late at night, and the cafe was quiet. Lucas came from a long way, and Salem City was prettychilly at night. He rubbed his palms together and ordered a pot of Earl Gray Tea. Lucas smiled lightlyand said, “If I remember correctly, this is your mother's favorite tea.” Jace was expressionless. Hesaid calmly, “She doesn't drink much tea anymore. Her tastes have changed.”

“Is that so?"

Lucas looked up and maintained his smile. He did not feel embarrassed at all. “We haven't seen eachother in so long, and it's only normal for people to change.” The tea was served, and the air filledwith the fragrance of Earl Gray. The waiter poured the tea and served it to them. “Enjoy.” The fatherand son were silent for a brief moment. Lucas broke the silence, “I heard Sienna is in town, are youguys..." “There's nothing going on between us. She's not in the city for me either. You should knowthat.” Jace's face was sharp, and he smiled in disdain. “I'd have never expected the all-great andmighty Chief Spencer to be a pimp one day,” Jace said ruthlessly.

Lucas’ face darkened in an instant, and his hand paused before the cup of tea before him.

He paused for a brief moment, suppressing the urge to splash the cup of tea on Jace.

"Watch your words.”

Lucas said with a darkened face, “I know you've never respected me as a father, nor do you thinkpositively of me as a person. However, I'm still your father, and you better pay some

respect!”

Jace wanted to laugh upon seeing Lucas’ serious face. However, having someone like him as afather was miserable. “Let's just cut to the chase. What do you want from me, Chief Spencer?” Jaceasked as he took a sip of the tea.
