A Relentless Pursuit for Love

Chapter 859

In early April, the night air in Nadeem City was still a bit chilly. Jace and Sage got out and saw Zachary and Henry at the entrance. They had been waiting for them and waved at them as soon as they saw thein.

They greeted, “Jace! Sage!” “How’s my mom?” Jace asked. Henry said, “Aunt Freya was released. The child in Luna’s belly is fine. It’s a false alarm and just bad luck!”

“It’s more than bad luck! That woman is really shameless!” Zachary was so angry that he scolded, “She’s the one who caused the scene, and she was the one who made trouble and called the police. She was also the one who pleaded with the police to withdraw the police report. We’ve been watching her act the whole day.”

Jace’s eyes were cold. He said in a deep voice, “Let’s go home first.”

As the car drove to the old residence, they saw a big black car parked near the entrance. Zachary shouted in the passenger seat, “D*mn! Isn’t this Lucas’s car? How dare he come here! Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Jace and Sage looked over and narrowed their eyes.

When they entered the old residence, they headed for Freya’s place.

While walking through the archway, they overheard Lucas’s shocked voice. “Freya, you can stand?”

Lucas had just returned from a business trip. When he got off the plane, he received a call from Luna. She was crying to him on the phone. He rushed to the hospital to check Luna’s condition and was relieved to see the baby was okay. Then, he listened to Luna’s sorrowful speech for a long time.

“I was so surprised to hear from Sienna that Jace was alive, so I wanted to visit the old residence and speak to Freya. I didn’t expect her to have such a deep resentment against me. She pushed me out after a few words. I was afraid that something might happen to the body, so I kept asking her to be gentle, but she…”

“Lucas, it’s not Freya’s fault. It’s all my fault. I’ve spoken to the police…”

Lucas received the news that his son was alive during his business trip. Someone had seen Jace around.

He was so surprised that he ended his trip early. He wanted to ask Freya about it, but he did not expect something to happen to Luna first.

He listened blankly to Luna’s words until she mentioned the police. His face suddenly changed into a scowl. He frowned and asked, “You called the police?”

Luna stopped abruptly. She was taken aback by his cold eyes and shocked. After that, she hurriedly explained, “It’s not me. Rhea did. Rhea was just worried about me…”

Her helper Rhea stood beside her and dropped her head, not daring to say anything.

Lucas kept staring at Luna with a grim face and said nothing.

Luna’s heart shivered because of his cold stare. She murmured, “D…don’t worry… The child is all right. I talked to the police and pleaded for her. She should be released by now.”

“Why are you doing this?” Lucas said suddenly.

Luna was startled and asked, “What?”

Lucas looked at her blankly. “You’ve been playing these tricks for twenty years. Aren’t you tired of them yet?”

Luna’s heart sank.

Lucas stood near the head of the bed. They were so close to each other yet distanced. They seemed to have drifted away over the years.

There was no trace of warmth on his face. His face was indifferent and cold.

“Luna, you’re like the boy who cried wolf. No one will believe you anymore if you tell the lies too many times.”

Lucas raised his hand to cover her with a blanket. He covered the baby bump and said, “I cheated in my marriage because of you and ruined my happy family. In fact, I regretted it after our first time together, but I got addicted to the feeling. Rather than saying I fell in love with you, I just like the thrill you bring me.” His calm words made Luna shudder violently. She looked at him with a shocked expression.
