Chapter 663
Sage replied, as usual, and asked him to take care of himself and to reach out anytime if he needed help, like a good and caring boss she was. Jim, on the other hand, was much cuter than his older brother. His messages had filled up the whole screen. He asked about how she had been doing in Yathein, told her about winning an MVP for the competition, and showed the gold, sparkly trophy cup to her. He also asked her when she was going back to the country to fulfill her promise. “This kid…. Sage thought and smiled. Before the competition, Jim had been training and nothing else. He had only learned about Sage’s plane accident shortly before the competition. He sobbed and wailed when he found out.
He wanted to ditch the competition and insisted on flying to Yathein to see Sage
Jim’s international team’s coach could not bear to see that and managed to get in touch with Sage so she could talk him out of it.
Sage used up all sorts of tricks and took a long time to convince him to stay for the competition. She was utterly patient. (A few more days. I’ll go to you once I’m back home.)
(Don’t worry, I remember my promise.]
After replying to all the messages, Sage noticed that Jace had sent him some messages as well. She clicked on his name to find that three messages had been deleted, and one message read, Are you home?) Jace stared at his fully charged phone, and his eyes were popping out of his sockets. He had not been able to sleep for the whole night. The veins in his eyes were bloody and visible, almost turning his eyeballs completely red. Jace did not want to disturb Sage, but at the same time, he was worried about her safety, so he could not help and send her another message.
However, once the message was sent out, he regretted it and deleted it again, he was worried that she might find him to be annoying.
He did that three times in total and eventually gritted his teeth and settled on one last message without deleting it.
That combination of being careful, confused, and conflicted was indescribable. Do people change when they’re in love with someone? Jace did not have an answer All he knew was that if that went on, he would lose his mind.
He buried his head in his arms and forced himself to calm down. The phone rang at that moment and vibrated in his palm. Jace looked up and saw that it was Sage. He answered without a second of hesitation, worried that she might hang up anytime. He got up too aggressively and fell from his bed. Sage was about to say something when she heard a deep grunt from the other side of the phone. She frowned and asked, “Are you okay?” “I…I’m okay.” Jace had fallen and hit her tailbone, he was in so much pain that he saw black. He pulled himself up and said with gritted teeth, “I’m okay. Go ahead.” What was that? That was strange.
Sage raised her brow and asked, “Did you fall from your bed?” Did she have an all-knowing eye or something?
Jace’s eyes dilated as he pulled himself up and walked with a limb. “No, of course not. I’m not a kid anymore.”
