Chapter 603 Was it purely because they refused to break the law?
Sage observed Jace quietly. She looked at his shaved head and cold, stoic face and thought that he looked way better when he was not being all emotional with her about their past relationship.
Jace’s assumption was correct, but she had no intention of explaining the details to him.
Sage said, “You’re right that Jekyll must be kept alive for now. As for why, I have no intention of telling you. Please just leave me and my troublesome problems alone.”
Jace frowned slightly upon hearing that. “I’ve never thought of your problems as troublesome.
Sage scoffed, “That’s because you have no idea how much bullsh*t I have on my shoulders.”
If he knew, he would have been so terrified, and he would have fled far, far

Sage had witnessed countless couples who had sworn to ‘love unconditionally’, ‘forever and always’, but when trouble came knocking, they would always prioritize themselves over their partners.
They would reconsider how much their partners were worth and whether it was worth it for them to invest and treat them wholeheartedly
A married couple was like a pair of birds from the same flock-when trouble strikes, they fly away separately.
Love and relationships were worthless. One would eventually realize that money and their own lives were more important. “I’d like to find out,” said Jace, as if he did not notice Sage’s sarcasm and disdain.
“I’d like to find out and understand everything about you. I want to know. I wish you’d tell me, but if you’re unwilling to. I won’t pressure you.”
Jace had always been intelligent and capable, but when he was in front of Sage, it was as if none of his intelligence and capabilities mattered. She made him realize how small and incompetent he was.
