Chapter 76
“Your hand!” Feeling the rough skin, Yoel flipped her hand over in shock. “Why does a precious lady like you have so many callouses on her hand?”
The palm of her hand was completely different from the back of her hand,
The back of her hands looked as if they belonged to a precious lady, as they were fair and delicate with long and slender fingers; but the palms of her hands were covered in thick calluses, especially around her fingertips.
“It is no wonder Jace thought you were a country girl.”
Turing over her hands, Yoel looked as if he had found a rare object.
Frowning, Sage took back her hands and said, “So what if I’m a country girl? Who says that city girls are not allowed to have calluses on their hands? I’m sure you have more callouses than I do.”
Yoel extended his large hands so that she might see them. “I trained with a gun almost every day when I served the military. How can you compare yourself to me?”
At the mention of this, Sage was suddenly reminded of Jace who also had palms covered in callouses.
“Hey, I’ll get jealous too if you think about another man in front of me,” complained Yoel.
Sage looked up. “How did you,”
She gnawed her lips.
“How did I know that you were thinking about another man?”
Before she could finish her sentence, Yoel pulled into a half-smile and said, “Your love for Jace is all over your face. Only Jace is blind and insensitive enough to not notice it, but you can’t hide it from me.”
Sage simply rolled her eyes at him.
“To be fair, Jace is not the only one who is curious, I am too. Why did you choose to hide your identity, and marry him?”
Yoel took a sideways glance at Sage. The golden rays of the sun illuminated her face, casting her in gold. Yoel thought her to be absolutely stunning at this moment.
Sage stopped in her tracks and glared at him. “Are you here to work or gossip?”
