A Relentless Pursuit for Love
Chapter 770

Chapter 770 When Melody came out of the bathroom, her eyes were still as red as a little bunny's.What a sad and tragic first love. At first, Sage was quite disappointed with her niece and thoughtshe could replace a better one, but now, all she felt for her was pity. Chapter 769 After that, Melody justwent into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. Sage wanted to follow her, but Yale stoppedher. “It's okay. Give her some space.”

On the island, Jace was still undergoing treatment from Primrose. He tried hard to fight and endurethe dizziness from the treatment. He was not about to tarnish his image in front of his mother—in—law.

“Your skill is very good,” Jace complimented, but his eyes focused on somewhere else. He did noteven dare to take a peek.

Primrose was amused and could not help laughing out loud. “You and Sawyer are quite similar.Nothing actually scared the both of you, except the treatment.” As the conversation went on, Yoelfelt less frightened. “Oh, so Uncle Sawyer is the same with

me.”

"Hey, who are you calling your uncle?” Sawyer had good hearing and shouted at the door fromoutside, “We are not closed at all!" Jace pursed his lips like an obedient student. Primrose chucked.She had never understood why her daughter would actually fall in love with Jace. Despite theoutstanding appearance, Jace was not soulful, he practically was just a bimbo in male form.However, after spending time with him for three months, Primrose discovered some of Jace'sstrengths. He was not a blabbermouth, and no one could guess what he thought as he always had astraight face. Nevertheless, there were still times that he was quite amusing. From the time Jacewoke up, with the exception during the beginning that his mood was a little low, he quickly adjustedhis state later, especially when he received news about Sage. His mood was improving visibly day byday as if there was some blessing of faith. He cooperated during the process of rehab and did notrequire anyone to supervise him,

Since he had an accident before, he knew the rehabilitation process more than Primrose. He kept onsaying how Sage helped him and how Sage encouraged him. Sage’s name had become his mantra,and Primrose was so annoyed by it. Whenever he told Primrose about it, she would refute himdirectly, “I never knew you love my daughter so much.” Then Jace would admit it sincerely, “I wastoo late when I fell in love with her and also missed the best years in which she loved me dearly.”After that, he would space out looking at the East for a long time. Not even God would be able tocall his soul back.

Primrose once told Sawyer as she mocked Jace, “Isn't there a rock called Amah Rock that resemblesa wife waiting for her husband to return? I think this guy here is about to turn into rock too. I amgoing to call him Sage Rock.” Sawyer glared at Jace with a meaningful look. At first, he despisedJace, and he said nothing.

In order to keep their location a secret, this island was nowhere to be found on the map. There werepeople who would send food and necessities over routinely. Other than a few of them, there was noone else on this large island.

Tack was a weak scholar. He only knew how to paint and had zero experience in life. So weak that hecould not lift a thing with his hand. Although Primrose was once a secret agent, she was diligentwhen it came to fighting. Other than that, she was often a lazy person that would rather do nothingevery day. All of the hard work and tiring jobs belonged to Sawyer. Ever since Jace could slowlywalk, he started to help with whatever he could do. Sometimes, he would follow Sawyer out huntingor fishing. He used to be a special force police, so he had experience surviving out in the wild.Sometimes, he was able to replace something rare. At least he was not useless.

When he was free, he would follow them out to sketch nature. He had laid a very good foundationin his painting skill. He was also full of knowledge in terms of antiques. Once, he even told themhow he won the bidding of the colorful enamel bow! in an auction from Sage.

Primrose was so thrilled to hear the story. “You are definitely quite the man to be able to snatch thecolorful enamel bowl away from my sneaky and sly daughter.” Sawyer got attracted by the colorfulenamel bowl so much that he kept dreaming of it. There was nothing much to do on the islandexcept talk with each other. Gradually, Sawyer and Jace talked more often, and the time lastedlonger and longer. Sometimes they would spend the whole morning or night talking to each other.Primrose sighed as she saw how fond both of them were talking to each other. She thought,’ Oh no,oh no. He's into it. What about our poor daughter?’

They all said that first love was the best and purest in the world. Nevertheless, getting hurt badlyduring the first love might leave a bad influence and affect the rest of the person's life.

"Aunt Sage,” Melody called Sage with her sniffy voice.

“Look at you.” Sage waved her hand at Melody and pulled Melody to her side. Then she lightlyscratched Melody’s nose. “I thought you didn't like him anymore. Then why are you crying?” “I criedbecause I am mad.” Melody’s nose turned red like Rudolf the red-nosed deer. “I always heardpeople saying that you should not fall in love with a playboy, and I disagreed with them. Besides,those handsome guys often attract many girls to like them, and it's normal. But..but...”

She stomped her feet angrily. “But he was too much. His ex—girlfriends were like the weed in thegarden. No matter how you pick them, they just keep coming!” Sage said, “I told you before, butyou refuse to listen. How do you expect a guy to look after his heart when he can’t even look afterhis own bird?”

As someone who had experience, Sage knew Melody would not listen to her. Melody needed toexperience it herself to understand.

Melody was stunned with a puzzled face. “Bird? What bird?”

Sage pursed her lips. For a minute, she was thinking seriously about how to answer Melody'squestion. Yale was trying hard not to laugh. In the end, he pretended to cough to cover his laughter.Melody got distracted and looked at Yale with her big and innocent eyes.

Yale tried to change the subject, “Did anyone look for your trouble?”

It was very easy to sidetrack a child's mind. When Yale asked about it, Melody became angry again."Oh my goodness! His ex—girlfriends actually formed a club and called themself, The Ex GirlfriendSquad or something like that. They came running at me and trapped me in an alley. They keptcalling me their younger sister. I don’t understand them at all. I never had so many sisters in my life.One of them even wanted to punch me. Luckily I know a little about fighting and barely escaped.”Sage took the opportunity to teach her a lesson. “Who was the one who refused to learn a martialart? If you learned it, then you won't have to be chased by them for thirteen streets. What anembarrassment.”

“Thirteen streets?” Yale was quite impressed. “You can really run.”

“What a weird thing to focus on.” Sage and Melody could not help and laugh.

“Your body is recovering very well.” Sage had arranged for Yale to undergo a few checkups. Aftershe read the medical report, she was quite satisfied with how well his body recovered.”

At this rate, you will be running and jumping around when spring arrives next year.” Sage gave hima big, encouraging smile. “Keep it up.” Yale smiled lightly. “I will.”

Then he saw the wooden hairpin behind Sage’s head. “That wooden hairpin, is it the one that wasbroken?”

Sage was stunned and touched the wooden hairpin subconsciously. She nodded and answered,

pi leig

“Is it fixed?” Yale was surprised.

Sage answered, “Yes.”

Yale mumbled, “I didn’t know you can fix a broken hairpin.” Sage’s feeling was quite complicated.She barely twitched the corner of her mouth. “Yea, I think it's quite amazing too.” As she did notwish to continue the topic, she gave a few instructions to Melody and Hugo. Then she was ready toleave, and she still needed to go to the museum later. “Do you know where Tim is? Has he come tovisit lately?” Yale shook his head and answered,” He just said there's something that he needs to do,but he didn't specify what it is.” Sage furrowed her brows. “Geez! I tried calling him, but it never gotthrough. I really thought he had gone back to Yathein.”

Tim's whereabouts had been a mystery lately. No one knew where he was. Since it was almost theend of the year, Sage was worried as she had failed to contact him. Then she was going to pinpointhis location together with Luther.
