Chapter 120

How could Sage tell him that this was none of his business?

Jace felt as if Sage had plunged a sword through his chest, piercing his heart, shattering it into a million pieces.

He suppressed his anger, pretended to be calm, and asked her, “Who is this guy? Your ex-lover?”

Why were there so many men in her life? She just had dinner with Luther, and now, she was hugging another man…

Sage felt a prick on her temples.

Was Jace questioning her? On what terms?

Sage found Jace to be unreasonably ridiculous. He had never failed to anger her the moment she felt herself softening toward him. This was his strongest suit.

“Not everyone is like you, Jace,” Sage said. “My love life is not as interesting as yours.”

“You don’t need to know who he is. He’s someone I know, and you don’t need to know anything more.”

She grabbed Kane by the waist and said, “Let’s go.”

Kane tried hard to contain his laughter. He was impressed by how Sage was able to defend herself without resorting to foul language.

Sage paused for a moment, turned to Jace, and said, “Oh, yes, I nearly forgot. Please do not have your people follow me around. That includes yourself.”

She had known all along that Jace had been keeping her safe. She felt that all of this was unnecessary, not that she was not grateful
