Luca was puzzled. She had initially thought that Rainie was feeling down because of her involvement with Luke.
Little did she know that the child was upset because of the reporters exposing her relationship with Luke.
"Rainie?" Luca still could not quite understand.
Rainie looked at her with teary eyes and said, "Ms. Luca, I'm afraid you'll leave us because of this."
“How could I…” Luca's heart softened, and her eyes welled up with tears. She realized that the child was worried about her leaving and being separated because of the news.
"Ms. Luca, you won't leave, right? No matter what those reporters say, you won't leave, will you?" Rainie wanted to seek an answer from Luca.
"Don't worry. I won't leave," Luca reassured her and held her in her arms. Girls' minds were often more delicate than boys’. She understood that Rainie was afraid of her leaving because of the news.
However, they were all precious to her. How could she ever leave them?
"Okay. As long as you stay, Ms. Luca," replied Rainie as she emerged from Luca's embrace. She closed the webpage on her tablet and placed it on the table.
She was relieved when she knew Luca would not leave.
"It's getting late. Let's go to bed," said Luca as she took a tissue from the table and gently wiped Rainie's face.
Rainie stared at her with her big, sparkling eyes. Luca felt like her heart was melting. "Don't worry. From now on, I'll be here every day."
Luca secretly added another word in her heart, 'Hopefully.'
The internet was abuzz with this matter. Luca wondered what Abel's reaction would be if he saw it.
Perhaps he was planning a scheme to deal with Luke.
Luca refused to become a tool against Luke, but Nyla was still in Abel’s hands. Therefore, she had no choice but to be a weapon against Luke.
After putting Rainie to sleep, Luca returned to the master bedroom. She glanced at the opposite door that was left ajar, where she could hear intermittent conversations.
Was Luke in a video conference or on the phone?
Luca was not sure since he intentionally kept his voice low, and she could not make out what he was saying.
He was busy, and she did not want to disturb him. So, she went back to the master bedroom, leaned against the bed, and thought for a moment before opening a drawer to take out some melatonin.
She had given all the sleep aids to Vivian and Tina. Her sleep quality had improved with Luke by her side. Hence, she no longer needed those medications. That was why she did not continue making them.
However, she bought a bottle of melatonin from the pharmacy just in case.
Surprisingly, it came in handy today.
After swallowing a melatonin tablet, Luca left a nightlight on for Luke. Then, she covered herself with a blanket and closed her eyes.
After Luke finished his work and checked the time, he figured that Luca was already asleep. To avoid disturbing her, he washed up in the adjacent bathroom before returning to the bedroom.
No matter how late it was, as long as Luca was sleeping here, he would come over.
As Luke looked at the warm glow of the nightlight, his eyes softened. Just a while ago, he was dealing with the newspaper company’s editor and making decisions.
The editor had reservations about his actions, but Luke had made up his mind and was known for his decisive approach. The editor had no choice but to follow through.
Now, he had shed his stern demeanor. An air of tenderness enveloped him.
What could make him gentle was none other than their children, and her, of course.
She was the woman he loved the most.
Luke sat on the edge of the bed. After he turned off the nightlight, he lay down with one arm around Luca.
Luca felt the warmth. In her slumber, she leaned against his chest.
