After Luke cleaned himself up, Luca walked into the bathroom, freshened herself up, and changed into a fresh set of clothes.

When Luca walked out of the bathroom, Luke had already put on his clothes. He was talking on the phone. She unconsciously treaded lightly across the room.

Luke nodded at her and turned on the speaker. It was Percy on the other end of the line.

Percy asked, "You're not in A City now, huh?"

"Yeah. I'm in X City," answered Luke.

"Why did you go there?"

"Same as you. I'm running away from someone." Luke walked toward Luca and held her in his arms.

The fresh and nice scent on his body greeted Luca. It was the lemon scent left on him after he shaved and put on clean clothes.

"Running away from someone?" Percy let out a chuckle. "Could it be that you've gotten yourself into trouble for having a love affair?"

Luke raised his brows and asked, "Aren't you overseas?"

"Nah, don't even mention it. I got tricked into coming back here, and I'm looking for somewhere to go for a vacation. You're staying at the Crawford Ancestral Home, right?" Percy asked.

Percy was enjoying their vacation abroad at first, and they were not planning to come back after the new year.

The new year was the peak period when rumors flew around in the Mallory family.

However, Old Master Mallory came up with something crazy when Percy refused to come back. The old man said he was dying.
