A Relentless Pursuit for Love
Chapter 8
Yeva,still clutching the mic in her hand, was drenched from her head to her toes.
Looking at the culprit standing in front of her, Yeva’s lips trembled and she gritted her teeth before yelling at the top of her lungs, “Sage Norah!”
“Are you awake now? If not, I don’t mind getting another bucket of water.”
The music, which was still blasting in the background, was loud enough to wake the entire town. Sage threw the bucket in her hand at the music player. With a loud bang, the music player fell off the desk, startling Yeva.
The deafening music finally came to a stop.
“What happened? What’s going on?”
Braxton, who had been woken by the loud commotion, came walking into the room. Catching sight of the drenched Yeva, he surmised that his precious daughter was being bullied. “Sage, what are you trying to do?”
“Daddy, she threw a bucket of cold water all over me. I’m freezing!”
Yeva was shivering in the cold as one of the maids hurriedly wrapped her in a blanket. With tears welling up in her eyes, Yeva looked at Braxton pitifully and said, “I couldn’t sleep so I wanted to listen to some music, but Sage didn’t allow me to do even that.”
With that pitiful look on her face, she transformed Sage into the perpetrator.
“There, there.” Like a loving father, Braxton comforted her daughter, “Sage has just returned, and you should let her be for now. Don’t let her get to you, alright?”
