Chapter 105
When Sage said those words with no emotions on her face, Jace felt as if his heart had stopped beating.
He finally understood how it felt like to be disappointed and heartbroken.
It was not because he had never experienced a breakup.
Back then when Sienna wanted to break up with him, he remembered being angry at her for not being able to trust him.
After that, Jace had chosen to believe that relationships were fragile and that was why he closed off himself to everyone else.
Until Sage showed up. She showed up when he was at his worst. He remembered that he did not even give her a smile or even praised her.
Now that he thought about it, Sage would never have stayed this long by his side if it was not because of her feelings for him.
“I’m sorry,”Jace apologized to her again, “I’ve ruined everything for you.”
Sage pulled into a slight smile and said, “You don’t have to be sorry for not having feelings for me.”
“L.”
Before Jace could finish his sentence, Sage cut him off. She did not want Jace to take pity on her.
“You don’t have to feel bad for me. I didn’t tell you this before simply because we’re already separated and there is no use in bringing up the past. I’m telling you these now because of Yoel who told you things that you didn’t have to know. Rather than letting others exaggerate or manipulate the truth, I’d rather you hear these from me. I also hope that you’ll be able to finally let this go.”
Jace nodded, “Thank you for telling me all these.”
“Since we have this out of the way, let’s talk about business.”
Looking at the stunned expression on Jace’s face, Sage guessed that Jace was still startled by their conversation earlier. Or perhaps he was still shocked by her admiration for him.
