Chapter 456

When Sage saw Jace, her mind wandered with the cold wind. She suddenly thought of
the time when Jace recovered from his high paraplegia and started to return to work at Yuriel Group.
He had to fly off to many different places all the time. No matter how late his plane arrived, she would
always pick him up at the airport. At that time, Sage was worried that his body and mind could not cope
with the intense workload. However, Jace could not understand why Sage needed to worry about him
and was unwilling to let Sage go pick him up from the airport. In the end, she could only wait for him at
home.

There was one time the television was airing a new and popular drama that took place in the middle
ages. She was sitting in the living room and saw a scene where one of the actresses was

crying and said, “Do you know how it feels to sit and wait alone all night?” Sage did not know if the
actor’s performance affected her emotionally or if it was the script that had touched her heart deeply.
She cried like a little baby as she watched it. It was the first time Sage cried since her parents passed
away. Maybe she felt sad that her marriage was more pathetic than the drama at that time. The
concubine who was no longer the King’s favorite would still be lucky enough to be visited occasionally,
whereas, in the modern era, Sage, the wealthy man’s wife, was not even living a better life than the
concubine from the middle ages. At that time, she never thought that Jace would divorce her one day.
She did not expect that after the divorce, Jace would be the one waiting to pick her up at the airport.
The difference in this was she had returned to the eldest daughter of the Norah family, who only cared
about her career and money. She was no longer the old Sage who only cared about being Missus
Yuriel. How absurd it was.

During the short period when Sage was daydreaming, Jace had walked toward her and stood in front of
her. He greeted her as usual, “You came.” Originally, Ross and Luther were standing behind her. Since
they saw Jace waiting for Sage, they immediately took each side and stood beside her. They glared at
Jace as if they were Sage’s guardian angels. Compared to Ross and Luther’s arrogant attitudes, Sage



was more relaxed and polite. She stretched her hand out to shake hands with Jace. “Mister Jace, it has
been quite a while since we last met.”

Jace was startled, and his expression showed how disappointed he was. It was only a couple of days
since they last saw each other, but Sage was treating him like a stranger. ‘Why?’ Jace thought.

Jace shook hands with Sage so her hand would not continue hanging in the air. “Miss Sage,” he
greeted. After the short interim shaking, Sage withdrew her hand and introduced him to Ross and
Luther, “You already know Luther. This is Dr. Ross Samuel from Mostal. We are here in Nadeem City to
settle some private affairs.”

Jace nodded at Luther and initiated a handshake with Ross. “Dr. Samuel, I have heard many good
things about you.” Ross had no intention of shaking hands with Jace as he kept his hand in his pocket.
He said indifferently, “The last time I saw you, you were in crutches, and Sage was following behind
you, worried and ready to hold you in case you fell down. From the looks of it, you are fully recovered.”

Maybe the wind at the airport was too cold for Jace; he felt a sudden chill air blowing into his heart. It
was so cold that his hands and feet were numbed, and his face was pale. He silently retracted back his
hand and forced a smile. After that, he looked at Sage, “Yes. I have Sage to thank for taking care of
me, so I was able to recover fully.” Sage tried to avoid mentioning her past at all costs. She turned her
face away and helped Wayne down from the ladder. The group slowly left the airport and got into a
limousine. Jace had arranged a five-star hotel under the operation of Yuriel Group for Wayne. However,
Wayne expressed that he did not want to stay in the hotel. In the end, Jace sent him to Mendoza’s
place directly. Wayne could not wait to meet his old friend and take a look at the broken jade pieces.

After sending Wayne off, Sage greeted Mendoza and left the bodyguards with Wayne. She returned to
the car and followed Jace to Yuriel Mansion to pick up Emily. On their way to Yuriel Mansion, they
changed from the limousine to two luxury sedan cars.
