Chapter 144

"I'm not asking you to move on. I'm trying to stop you from being a workaholic. I get your reports from mom and it doesn't please me"

"I'm thinking of something..." She hesitated

"What is it?"

"You have to promise not to tell anyone. I don't want to have Cara all excited"

I nodded.

"Adoption" she barely whispered "I have the resources and love to spare. I was thinking it would be a good idea" She looked at me hesitantly as if waiting for my approval.

I grinned "That's wonderful"

"Seriously?"

"Yes. I think it will make you happy"

"I think so too" She grinned back with more confidence this time "When's Luna coming back?"

"Two months" I shared my joy with her.

"Do you want me to rile up things at business front for him. I've been tracking his movements"

"Goddess knows I would enjoy that so much" I groaned over the phone "But I can't" it hurts me physically to say those words.
