Luke was driving back home with Luca. It was already 9:00 pm when they arrived at the villa.
Just as they reached the foyer and had not taken more than a few steps, Allison's voice rang out.
“Oh, so you're finally willing to come back from Crawford Manor?” Her voice was dripping with sarcasm.
Luca did not know how to respond to Allison and looked over at Luke.
Luke let go of Luca's waist and whispered, “Go upstairs first.”
“Okay.” Luca nodded, changed her shoes, and was about to head upstairs when Allison said again, “Stop. Who told you to go upstairs?”
“Madam Allison, is there something you need?” Luca's tone was cold, carefully masking the helplessness inside her.
Since she learned that Allison would be returning to the country and moving here, Luca had mentally prepared herself to be put in a difficult position. She loved Luke, so she was willing to tolerate whatever troubles came with it.
Luca believed that as long as she and Luke faced things together, there was nothing they could not resolve.
“You'll help me with my skincare from now on.” Allison was clearly asking Luca for a favor, but her tone was so self-assured as though she thought Luca was obliged to help her.
Luca exchanged a glance with Luke. When she was about to decline, Luke spoke up for her, “Luca is busy and doesn't have time.”
“I’m talking to Luca. Why are you butting in?" Allison was irritated.
Why was Luke always defending Luca?
It was as though he had forgotten his mother after he found a woman.
Allison was frustrated that Luke's attention seemed to be on Luca and Luca only.
Luke casually wrapped his arm around Luca's waist, making it clear to Allison where his loyalty lay. He exposed Allison's nonsense in an indifferent tone, “Do you think the skincare products Luca used yesterday are that effective?”
Even though Allison did not want to admit it, the truth was that Luca’s skincare products worked really well.
“What does this have to do with anything?” Allison hesitated for a moment but still refused to admit it. “Isn't she skilled in medicine? Doesn't she know how to provide treatment? My skin needs treatment and good care. What's wrong with her taking care of me?”
“You need to change your attitude first if you want someone to help you. Otherwise, you can forget about it,” Luke firmly rejected her request again on Luca's behalf.
Then, he looked down at Luca, who wore a helpless expression on her face, and said, “Go upstairs first.”
“I need to massage Aunt Neile,” Luca finally remembered the task at hand and replied calmly.
“Go ahead,” replied Luke. With him there, Allison would not be able to stir up any trouble.
“Okay.” Luca gave a knowing look to Aunt Neile, who was standing aside. She quickly grabbed the medicinal cream from the drawer and walked into the maid's room.
After Aunt Neile entered, Luca closed the door behind her.
“Ms. Craw, is this okay?” Aunt Neile furrowed her brows with concern.
“Mr. Crawford will take care of it.” Luca signaled for Aunt Neile to lie down. She scooped out some cream and began massaging Aunt Neile's back.
…
In the living room, the confrontation between mother and son continued.
Allison pointed at the maid's room and said, “She can treat a maid, but she can't treat me?”
“At least Aunt Neile knows how to behave,” Luke's dark eyes were cold and indifferent, his tone laced with a hint of impatience.
