Chapter 788

Jace quickly became a coward.

Primrose’s reaction earlier was because of the sudden fear. However, when she saw Jace’s cowardly
look, the chill in her spine gradually receded.

She had an urge to laugh too. Jack walked over with a sullen face and slapped Jace on the back. “Brat.
How dare you hit your mother-in-law! What are you trying to do!”

Jace looked at his teacher with an innocent look on his face. “But didn’t you say…”

“What did I say? No matter what I say, you still can’t hit your mother-in-law! Do you want to get your
wife back? Do you want to be accepted into the Norah family?”

Jack was the one who passed the fake message, but here he was twisting the story.

Jace was lost for words and stunned.

Sawyer had the same sullen face and said in a low voice, “If you hit harder, my wife would’ve died in
your hands.”

Jace was speechless and panicked at that moment. It was his first time regretting his action so much.
He was at a loss.

“I…I…am sorry!” Jace got so nervous that he began to stutter. He looked at Primrose with a terrified
look. “Y…you… Are you okay?”

Primrose gave her a cold look. “What do you think?’ Jace froze, and his mind went blank.

When he attacked Primrose, he consciously controlled his strength. It was already rude

enough for him to even hit her. How could he dare to hit her hard?



“I’m sorry! It wasn’t on purpose!” Jace’s face whitened. “You can hit me back! Do whatever you want!”

He straightened his back and placed his hands close to his leg. He apologized so sincerely and
admitted his mistake.

Looking at him like this, Primrose was amused and laughed out loud. “Pfft.”

Sawyer smiled too.

Jack laughed the loudest. Seeing that Jace was still stunned, he patted his shoulder and said,” Silly
boy. We’re just kidding with you.”

Jace fell silent. What was so fun about it? It was not fun at all.

“Okay. I think you’ve recovered well enough. Maybe we can let you out earlier.”

Primrose looked at Jace with a satisfied smile.

Jace’s eyes widened a little. “Let me out?”

“Hmm? Do you want to stay here forever?”

Primrose sighed. “Shawn has shown himself. That means he’s going to take action soon. I know Sage
has her brothers around to protect her, but I’m still worried about her. We’ve disappeared for so long.
We have to bring her a gift when we return. Otherwise, we’ll feel bad about it. I hope she won’t be
disappointed with you as her gift.”

Jace was very excited to know that he could see Sage again soon. “Will… Will you all come back with
me?”



Primrose’s expression turned grim. She glanced at Sawyer and said, “We still have things to do. Let’s
split up.” It was almost spring. By then, Yale was almost fully recovered. He could run and jump actively
and even train with Sage. He sparred with Sage daily while doing his recuperation training. Sage
waited for Shawn’s appearance for months, but he was nowhere to be found. This made Sage more
and more irritated. She could not concentrate on her training at all. More importantly, Tim disappeared
again.
