Chapter 38
Why in the world did she choose to marry him?
Jace did not need Sage to prove anything as throughout the years, everyone in the Yuriel family had witnessed and experienced firsthand how Sage had behaved. She took good care of her husband, her mother-in-law, and she was even respectful to the elders i n the family. One could say that she was the perfect daughter-in-law.
Both his grandparents did not begin to dislike Sage after finding out that she was a Norah.
Looking at Sage, Jace’s grandfather said, “Sage, please do not take to heart what Jace’s uncle has said. He did so because he is still nursing the defeat he suffered at the hands of your father, and his reaction has nothing to do with you. The feud between the Norah and Yuriel family is past us, and it is normal for businesses to compete with each other. Don’t be too hurt by it, okay?”
Jace’s grandmother held Sage’s hands in hers and added gently, “We know who you really are, Sage. You’ve brought happiness to all of us throughout these past years. Now that you’ve returned, stay, won’t you? We’re still a family after all, right, Jay?”
Jace’s grandparents were doing their best to make Sage stay. As they tried to persuade her, they also interwove their desire to reunite the two. Even Faye and Zachary were doing their best to make Sage change her mind.
Freya, on the other hand, pushed her son toward where Sage was standing.
Jace was caught off guard and nearly stumbled into Sage’s arms. He did his best to steady himself and stave off the embarrassment he felt.
Sage merely gave him an amused glance. She did not even offer him a helping hand.
Under the heckling and jeers of his family, Jace looked flustered and embarrassed. He was about to lose his temper, but for some reason, he could not seem to express his rage under Sage’s teasing stare.
Why was it that Sage was staring at him like she was staring at a pet?
This was not the first time that Sage had experienced such a situation. In the past three years, Jace’s family too had done whatever they could to match her and Jace together. However, Sage knew better. Love was not something that could be forced.
