Chapter 644

Sage was in the kitchen learning to bake pastries with a pastry chef. In the middle of it, she received a
call from Luther.

Since she was out of the country, Sage had Luther keep an eye on things going on back in the country.

Luther started rambling, “That minister is quite alert, I have to say. We nearly got caught a few times for
following him.” Holding the phone between her ears and her shoulders, Sage placed a tray of cookie
dough into the oven.

“You followed him on your own?”

Luther responded, “Do you think I’m that free?”

He then snorted, “If I have the time to follow him around, isn’t it easier for him to just hack into the
CCTV systems? I’ve hired a private investigator and guess what? Seems like someone else is looking
into him too.”

“Someone else?”

Sage adjusted the temperature, removed her hand gloves, frowned, and asked, “Who?”

Luther said, “Guess.”

“Jace Yuriel?”

Luther responded, “Sh*t! How do you know it’s him?”

Sage replied flatly, “If it was someone else, you wouldn’t even have cared to tell me.”



Luther was speechless

Sulking, he then asked, “So do you still want to hear it or not?”

“Yes.”

Sage added, “Go on, I’m listening…” Luther told her that Lucas used some connection to release Luna
on a bail and Sage knitted her brows into a frown. She sniggered, “I must say that Chief Lucas is quite
loyal to Luna huh.” Luther replied, “After all, Luna’s carrying his child. For the sake of his child, he’d
need to find a solution to get Luna out of jail.”

“Well, what timing for Luna to get pregnant, don’t you think? And it’s exactly when she was in jail. Don’t
you find it weird?”



Sage sounded skeptical. “Are you implying that Luna faked her pregnancy?” Luther was stunned. Luna
was approved on medical parole because she was pregnant, but if the pregnancy was faked, then
things would quickly become serious. Sage recalled the time when Luna drove her car to hit her, Luna
wore a pair of heels. Someone like Luna who was desperate to be pregnant, would not have put herself
in such a dangerous situation.

However, it is naturally possible that she only found out that she was pregnant when she served her
time. However, judging from Luna’s age, there was a higher chance that she was experiencing
menopause than getting pregnant.

***

On the soft bed lay Luna and Lucas. Luna laid in Lucas’s arms as she stroked her flat belly. “Wouldn’t it
be great if I was pregnant? Lucas, I want to have a child of our own.” With his head leaned against the



headboard, Lucas smoked and said nothing. Luna drowned in her thoughts. “I’ve always been terrified
of the idea of giving birth. Compared to the pain, I was more terrified of the fact that I’d become old and
ugly. Women always end up becoming ugly after giving birth.” Lucas knew that it was not as terrifying
as Luna described. He remembered the days when Freya was pregnant. She too was scared and was
worried that the baby would not be healthy.

“Honey, what if I become ugly? I heard that i’d have stretch marks all over.”

Placing his head on her belly, Lucas comforted her, “Don’t worry, honey. It’s impossible that you’ll turn
ugly. Even if your face is full of pimples, you’re still a hundred times prettier than other women!” “What
did you say?!” Freya pushed him away and said, “You’re the one with a face full of pimples.”

Lucas chuckled and replied, “I don’t mind as long as you and the baby are safe and healthy.” Freya
experienced complications when delivering the baby. She cried inside the labor room while Lucas cried
outside and he nearly ran inside the room, wanting to be with Freya.

It was when he saw her being pushed out of the labor room, that he ran over to her, held her hands in
his, and promised her that he would do whatever it takes to take care of her and the child.

Till today, Lucas remembered the promise that he made to Freya. However, what happened back then?
What made him break his promise?
