Chapter 104
“I’m in a rush. Let’s just cut to the chase.”
Compared to him, Sage seemed to be more calm and composed. Dressed in a formal red suit, she looked elegant and sophisticated.
But for some reason, there was a cold vibe surrounding her.
“Okay,” Jace had always been a direct person and he too disliked people who were long-winded. Since Sage had asked him to cut to the chase, he asked bluntly, “Are you the girl that was kidnapped ten years ago at Cloud Forest?”
Sage felt her chest tighten and felt a knot in her stomach. She thought that she had mentally prepared herself but the moment he threw out this question, her mind was immediately flooded by the flashbacks. Forcing herself to me this gaze, she replied, “Yes. You were the one who saved me.”
Jace felt as if someone was tugging at his heartstrings.
Even though he knew the answer but when Sage admitted it herself, he was still startled. Meeting Sage’s gaze, he felt something bubbling inside of him.
Jace thought that life worked in funny ways: they met ten years ago in that hostile situation and after ten years, they were sitting next to each other.
Feeling his lips go dry, Jace cleared his throat before looking into Sage’s eyes. “So, you came to me three years ago, to take care of me and even got married to me just to repay my kindness?”
Sage did not avoid his question. Instead, she asked, “Do you really think that I’m the type to marry someone just to repay their kindness?”
There was a flicker in his eyes. Feeling a chum in his stomach, he asked, “Then you…”
‘I only married you because I liked you.”
Sage felt as if the weight pressing down on her chest was finally lifted. She finally felt a sense of relief after being honest about her true feelings.
It was as if she was freed.
