The cup of tea placed in front of Luke smelled good. Luke knew the churning alcohol smell in his stomach would stop once he drank it.
However, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he patted the seat beside him and said, “Take a seat.”
Luca noticed that Luke had something to tell her. Hence, she sat down on another sofa. It was late at night. Nina and the kids were already in bed, and it was quiet. However, she still kept a suitable distance away from Luke.
Luke did not force her to sit beside him. Her nerves would be on edge as long as Nina was still around.
“Matysh found a woman to accompany him. And that woman has a pair of eyes that look like yours,” said Luke.
Luca looked down, feeling helpless.
It was not a good thing. That would only show how much Matysh desired and wanted Luca. She replied in a soft voice, “Okay.”
“If something happens to you, don’t hide it from me. You have to tell me. Although he’s not a local, he approached a criminal organization for help. That’s why it’s not easy to deal with him,” Luke reminded her with a solemn look on his face.
If he had been more careful and determined back then, Luca would not have ended up in this situation today.
Therefore, Luke could not bear the pain of losing her again.
Luke’s voice was stern and serious as he was trying to let her know how serious the matter was.
Luca nodded and replied, “Don’t worry. I’m not a child. I know I can’t solve this all by myself. I’ll never hide anything from you.”
Luke let out a sigh of relief. He was unable to take the weight off his mind whenever it was something related to Luca. Fortunately, Luca had given him her word.
The tension in his heart was relieved a little.
Luca shot a glance at the cup of tea that had almost cooled down and reminded him in a soft voice, “Mr. Crawford, drink the tea while it’s still warm. It won’t be that effective once it gets cold.”
Luke picked up the cup of tea and gulped it down.
The warmth of the tea flowed into his stomach, warming up his heart too. Although it did not produce an immediate effect, Luke felt much better.
After Luke finished drinking the tea, he placed the cup on the coffee table and glanced at the time. It was getting late.
“Let’s go upstairs, clean ourselves up, and get some rest. Aunt Neile will clean up tomorrow,” said Luke.
“Okay,” Luca nodded. The two of them made their way up the stairs.
It was quiet on the second floor. Nina and the kids had fallen asleep. They tiptoed their way to the bedroom when they reached the second floor.
Although Luke had moved some of his toiletries to Luca’s bedroom this morning, his clothes were still in his room. Hence, he did not follow Luca back to her bedroom and returned to his bedroom first.
Luca walked into her bedroom. She turned on the lights and unconsciously looked at the bed, only to realize that Aunt Neile had changed Luke’s pillowcase so that it was the same as hers when she cleaned up her room today.
The pillow’s color no longer looked odd in her room. It was as though it was supposed to be in her bedroom.
Luca’s face was slightly burning.
That would only mean Aunt Neile had already found out about them…
Luca closed the door. She was not worried that Aunt Neile would report it to Old Master Crawford. After all, Old Master Crawford had been using different methods such as giving her herbal tea and tonic to fix her up with Luke…
If Old Master Crawford found out about it, he would not be mad. He would be happy to hear it.
However…
Luca looked at the color of the pillowcases which were the same as her bed sheet. She wondered how much Old Master Crawford knew about her and Luke.
Why would he agree and why would he even have the thought of bringing her and Luke together?
