Chapter 686

Sage came.

She initially did not want to come. She thought she could pretend none of these happened if she did
not see the burial. However, it was pointless to run away.

Tim said to her, “You have had a love and a marriage. Sending him away will be a fulfillment to you and
him.”

Sage took off the sunglasses. With red and dry eyes, she quietly stared at the photo on the tombstone-
what a familiar face.

She quickly recognized that this photo was taken when Jace had just returned home to inherit the
family business after his transfer from the army. His skin was still a little tanned, but he was glowing
with a soldier’s energy and vigor of youth.

When she first met him, his handsome face had blown her away.

She had dreamed of this face many times in her dreams. She fantasized about him smiling at her and
speaking to her seriously and earnestly.

After marrying him, she could finally stare at him openly. What a perfect and beautiful face. She would
never get tired of staring at his face for the rest of her life.

This was the man she had loved for a long time…

An urge to cry came, but she swallowed it back She bowed to the tombstone. The bodyguards behind
her bowed in unison. Sage felt a little weak and could barely stand for a while. She slowly straightened
up and turned to Grandma Yuriel, who was covering her mouth and sobbing. She went to hug her, but



her voice choked up. “Grandma, my condolences.” Grandma Yuriel leaned on her shoulder and
trembled as she cried. It was heartbreaking to hear. It was a great comfort that Sage was here. Freya’s
tears were pouring down her face. Lucas handed her a handkerchief, but Freya did not take it. He
mustered his courage and went over to hug her. Freya could not push away. She was too weak. Her
son’s death took half her life away. Jace had lived his life like this. How could his parents not be
responsible for it?

If they had not quarreled for so many years and tortured each other, they would not have made their
son change. Their son became so selfish and indifferent, unable to love.

It was Lucas’s first time so close to Freya after all these years. He was sad about Jace’s death too.
After all, it was his only son!

It was his fruit of love with Freya.

Lucas remembered the first time he held his son in his arms. He was so small and cute. He was a
fragile little thing that melted his heart.

They were such a happy family at that time. He looked at his wife, who had just given birth, and looked
at his son in his arms. He felt like he had the world.

He would not exchange this with anything.

Unfortunately, he was defeated by time. His love could not last in a marriage of a strong woman and a
weak man. After living in all the gossip and pressure, he lost himself in the lure of the outside world.

He had always been a selfish man. He knew this and had not felt sorry for anyone. However, he was
sorry for his wife and son. He had owed them too much. Luna stood not far away and watched Lucas
hug Freya softly. The comforting scene stung her eyes. Her eyes turned cold and vicious as she



pressed her lips tight. She did not want to share the news at such a time, but they forced her to do so.
It was her show time. “Freya, don’t be too sad.”
