Chapter 696

Sage never thought she would cry so much for Jace one day. She had once loved him with all her heart
and soul. Now, she cried for him the same way. She wanted to finish all her tears for him.

She never knew love was such a torturous thing. If she knew, she would rather not love him. She would
rather stay as the same princess who lived in the fairy tale world.

She would rather be naive, unaware of the sorrow of the world.

She was happiest when she looked at the photo of her crush, imaging that one day she would be with
him. She wanted to put on a wedding dress and be his bride. Unfortunately, things did not work out the
way she wanted them to. Her happiest moments were gone. She could never turn back in time.

In the end, did she owe it to him? Or did he owe it to her? She did not know anymore.

After Jace’s funeral, Sage was ready to go back to Salem City with her brothers.

Before she left, she received a call from Freya. Freya wanted to meet her at the coffee shop downstairs
in Looming District. She might choose to ignore others’ invitations, but not Freya’s. The former mother-
in-law and daughter-in-law sat face to face across each other and remained silent. Both of them had
aged a lot in just a few days.

Freya looked at Sage’s pale face and felt sorry. She looked at her worriedly and said, “Sage, you’ve
lost a lot of weight.”

“You too.” Sage’s throat felt dry. She felt sad seeing Freya’s quick aging. She held Freya’s hand and
urged, “Aunt, please take care of yourself. I’ll come and visit from time to time.”



“I know.” Freya sobbed a little and wiped her tears. She resisted her urge to cry and patted Sage’s
hand. “I came today to talk about the will.”

Sage was prepared for this and made her intention clear. “Aunt Freya, I meant what I said in the old
residence. I don’t want anything Jace left for me. Please just keep them.” “I know you don’t lack any of
these, but you deserve them.” Freya sighed softly, “Actually, Jace asked for my opinion before he made
his will. You were married to him for three years. During your marriage, we’ve all seen your hard work
and kindness. Jay recovered healthy because of you. I moved on from my failed marriage because of
you. You brought so much comfort to us, including my parents and the few little ones at home.”

“We are not forgetful and ungrateful. We’ll remember those who are kind to us. You may be divorced
from Jace, but none of us are on his side. We know he treated you badly and wronged you.”

Sage kept her head low and rubbed the coffee cup. She faintly said, “It’s all in the past. I’ve always
remembered how well you treat me during my three years with the Yuriel family.”

She had said this many times. If not for the Yuriel family’s kindness, her marriage with Jace might not
have lasted as long as three years. “Jace doesn’t owe me anything. I didn’t want anything from the
divorce. There’s no reason to ask for it now.” The Norah family’s little princess was never short of
money. All she wanted from the beginning was just his love. “I know.”
