Luca was explaining to him.

After the meeting ended, she saw the missed call from Luke.

However, she gave up the idea of calling him back after she saw the time. It was

late, and Luke must have already slept...

She did not expect to see the villa brightly lit up when she came back. Luke was

even working in the living room, waiting for her.

"I know." Luke saved the file and closed the computer screen.

Luca glanced at the time. It was already 12, yet Luke waited for her until now...

"Mr. Crawford, aren't you going to sleep?" she asked.

Luke stood up. "Has the drug research been taken care of?"

"No, there's data that does not match the hypothesis. We're still trying to find out

"why," said Luca. After having a meeting that lasted the whole day, they still had

not found where the problem came from.

"No rush. Take your time. Go rest," said Luke.

Luca nodded and was about to head upstairs when she heard him say, "I've

picked up the children."

"They're back?" She was a little surprised, but the corners of her mouth curled up

slightly as she missed the three kids too.

"Yes, they made a lot of noise about wanting to come back. When they found out

that you were at the company working overtime, they wanted to sleep in the first-

floor living room and wait for you to come back. But I didn't allow it," Luke brought

up the children, telling her how much they cared about Luca.

Luca suddenly felt guilty. "I'll keep it down when going upstairs."

"It's alright. Let's go. I'm going upstairs to rest too," said Luke as he felt relieved

after waiting up for Luca.

Although he knew that she was working overtime at the company, he would still

be restless if he did not get to see her.

Now that he had seen her, he finally had peace of mind.

"Alright." Luca nodded and went upstairs with him.

The two of them walked to their respective bedrooms. Luca turned to look at
