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...

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

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
