It had been a long time since Luke had a lie-in. He blamed Luca's scent that

remained on the bed even after she had already gotten out of bed.

Luke happened to fall asleep again when he closed his eyes. It was as though he was cuddling with her in bed. He unknowingly woke up late.

"I could see you were tired and needed more rest..." Luca said in a depressed tone. At the same time, she was confused.

This man was cold to her when he was on his business trip, but he was hugging her now, refusing to let her go. Did he really treat her as a toy who was at his beck and call?

Luca refused to think so, but it was the reality that made her forced her to think about it like this.

"It was tiring," Luke held her in his arms, resting his jaw on her head. The distance between them was intimate. "I've been busy with the acquisition for the past few days. I worked day and night to finish everything, then I came back."

Luca listened to Luke talking about what he did during his business trip. It sounded easy, but she knew that it was not an easy task.

If T Corporation was the only company that wanted to acquire the company, it would indeed be easy. Luke did not have to travel there for the acquisition.

"I see." Luca knew him well. Luke would only carry the weight on his shoulders no matter how hard it was. He would never tell her about it. That was why she did not continue to ask him, but she said, "Mr. Crawford, I'd like to continue with my experiment."

"Huh? Don't you have anything to ask me?" Luke felt helpless with her silence and indifference.

He had already taken the initiative to close the gap between them, but Luca was still rejecting him. She seemed unconcerned about his matters.
