Chapter 651

Sage sat up in an instant, and her eyes sparkled in anticipation. “Are you saying she’s the one?”

“Yeah.”

Seth smiled lightly, and his eyes were filled with determination. “I guess it runs in the family. We’re just
such passionate lovers. Once we’ve found the one we’re looking for, nothing can stop us from pursuing
them.”

Sage’s heart skipped a beat. An image of a person flashed before her eyes as her heart ached.

Indeed.

However, how she wished she was an exception.

In the evening, Sage thought she had received another surprise from one of her brothers.

It was indeed a surprise. However, it was not from her brothers but from her godfather. Senior Shelby,
Tim’s biological father and Sage’s godfather, came all the way to Meadow Castle with a truckload of
gifts.

“Godfather!”

Sage knew that her godfather had been going through a recuperation in a small town. The last thing
she expected was a visit from him. Sage was ecstatic and flew over to him to greet him. “My dear
daughter, oh how I’ve missed you!” said Senior Shelby with a heavy accent after exchanging cheek
kisses with Sage.

Seth, too, greeted Senior Shelby with a smile before exchanging a warm embrace.



Senior Shelby was a man in his late fifties. He was a healthy-looking and humorous old man.

He came all the way after hearing that Sage had come to Birmingham.

When Senior Shelby learned that his son had been confining Sage, his kind and loving face
immediately darkened as he accused Tim of acting like a fascist.

“What danger is there in Birmingham? It’s our territory, and there’s nothing to worry about. Just have an
army here to protect her. I’ll make a few calls myself. Sage can go wherever she wants to go.”

Senior Shelby lectured his son a whole lot in a foreign language while Sage stood aside and snickered
satisfyingly. Somebody had finally come to her rescue.



Unsure if Tim was doing it for his father or brothers, he finally withdrew Sage’s confinement order.

Sage was finally allowed to go outside under strict protection.

Sage was ecstatic, and she dragged her godfather and two brothers to Rosa Island for a vacation.

The three grown men lay on top of beach chairs and watched as Sage swam around like a mermaid,
their faces filled with happiness.

Senior Shelby chuckled and said, “How youthful and lively. When your mother was young, she was just
as fast and lively. There was not a second of rest for her.”

Tim shook his head and said, “Mother was way more composed than this little monkey here.”

Seth nodded in agreement. He remembered his mother to have quite a temper but definitely more quiet
and composed than Sage.



“That’s because you’ve not seen Prim when she was younger. She was edgy and wild. No men were
able to contain her, not even me,” said Senior Shelby.

He continued with a tinge of sadness in his tone, “I wanted to give her everything I have, all my wealth,
but she still refused to marry me.”

“At least mother was willing to give me to you so you could have a son, be grateful for that,” said Tim.

Senior Shelby chuckled upon hearing such an outrageous statement and said, “I guess you’re right. I
should be grateful for such an excellent son like you.”

Senior Shelby had a wife and children of his own, but they had all passed from sicknesses. The locals
used to call that the Shelby’s Curse.

Senior Shelby had once lost his will to live until he was given a smart and beautiful son. Everything got
better from then on.

Seth listened to the father and son’s story and thought of his own. His eyes darkened.

“That’s the case for my own family, too.”

Seth’s appearance was his father and the whole of Hectors’ redemption. Primrose’s appearance was
his and his brothers’ redemption.
