A Relentless Pursuit for Love

Chapter 699

Laura gave Sage the cutleries and pushed the food to her. Laura watched Sage eat. Sage moved her cutleries and ate a little. “Eat more.” Laura filled her plate with more food and kept urging her to eat. However, Sage had no appetite and could barely eat. Her heart felt empty and terrible. Outside, it was hot and sunny. She thought the autumn rain would remain cold, but it had been unbearably hot for the past few days. They sat in the restaurant with air conditioning and cooled down, but the restlessness in her heart refused to go away. “I remember having a meal like this with Jace and Yoel when we were on a break from the army. At that time, he found a roadside restaurant and enjoyed the meal and drinks.” 

Laura chuckled. “At that time, the three of us didn’t know each other well enough yet. I wasn’t good at reading people, so I thought Jace came from a family of public servants. I assumed that his parents worked as civil servants, which influenced him into a quiet and cold man. As for Yoel, I thought he was a street gangster. He couldn’t get into a good school, so he came to the army instead. I didn’t expect to guess it all wrong.”
