After leaving the restaurant, Luke and Luca got into the car together and left.
Lliam was driving in front, stealing glances at his boss. After a moment's pause, he spoke up, "Boss, I just saw Madam Mallory."
Worried that Luke might misunderstand, he added, "Karen Ruiz."
"Mhm, I know." Luke nodded and turned to look at Luca. "Are you really okay?"
“Why did you suddenly lose faith in me? Not just anyone can harm me. Madam Mallory doesn't have what it takes,” replied Luca. Even the man who was with Karen might not be able to lay his hands on her.
"Well, as long as you're not hurt… But since she has this idea, she won't give up easily. You still need to be careful," reminded Luke, sensing that Karen might resort to force to coerce Luca.
Luca nodded. Karen knew she might be able to help Pierre with his recovery, so she would not give up easily, which meant she might have other plans.
Still, whatever her plans were, she could not harm Luca.
Thus, Luca was not too worried. "Usually, Warren picks me up from work. I doubt anything will happen. Besides, she can't really insist on having me perform dry needling on Pierre without also worrying that I'd harm him."
She had made this clear in the restroom just now.
"Well, if anything happens in the future, the first thing to do is—"
"The first thing is to inform you," Luca interrupted with a smile and finished Luke's sentence.
Luke gave her a helpless look.
If it were not for the incident with the restroom mirrors, Luca probably would not have told him that Karen had followed them here.
She had not said anything when she came back from the restroom. When she knew Nina was going to the restroom and had to act as a bodyguard, Luke knew she was not planning to tell him.
"I didn't intend to hide it from you either, but Mr. Mallory was there. If I had said it then, I was afraid Mr. Mallory would go looking for Madam Mallory. After all, it was their family matter, and there was no need to make a scene in public.
"I really didn't intend to hide this from you. I was planning to tell you after we left," explained Luca. These were all trivial matters. There was no point in hiding them.
However, such trivial matters would affect the relationship between Percy and Karen. That was why she did not say it immediately.
Karen's matter was just a small episode.
As Lliam listened to their conversation, he knew that Karen had caused quite a stir in the restaurant.
If he had known earlier, he would have messaged Luke the moment he saw Karen enter the restaurant.
Half an hour later, Lliam drove them back to the villa.
As soon as they entered the living room, the three children surrounded them. Tommy, the youngest, began to complain about being left out of dinner.
"Daddy, Ms. Luca, you've changed. You don't love us anymore. You went out to eat without us," said Tommy, pretending to wipe away his tears.
However, in reality, there was not a single tear in his bright eyes.
When Luca saw the kid behaving like this, she could not help but laugh. She realized that her youngest son was quite the little actor...
She exchanged a glance with Luke and then bent down to pinch her youngest son's cheek. "Alright, we’re sorry. I'll cook a big meal for you this weekend as compensation. How about that?"
A mischievous hint flashed across Tommy's eyes. He immediately stopped rubbing his eyes and pretending to cry. Instead, he asked, "What kind of big meal?"
"Well, what do you guys want to eat?" asked Luca, directing her question to the two of them.
"Lanie, Rainie, what would you like to eat?" Even though Tommy was a big eater, he did not forget about his siblings. He turned to ask them.
