I'm pregnant Sir Behave Yourself by Daphne

Chapter 3275 Stay By Your Side

"How is it my problem that you got rear-ended?" Abel was silent for a moment on the other end of the line.

He was well aware that Luca had been rear-ended and that she was now recuperating at Luke's home.

"Not your problem?" Luca chuckled softly. "I know Karen had someone disguised as Silas, and that person was introduced by you. I had already convinced Karen that I couldn't help Pierre, but then she kidnapped me, convinced I could. Mr. Abel, isn't this all your doing?"

"Luca, it seems that staying around Luke has made you quite the accuser." Abel shot back, naturally denying any involvement.

Luca had no intention of forcing a confession out of him. She asked in a cold voice, "So, what's the real reason for your call?"

"I need you to go to X City and help Shanks," replied Abel.

"If I go to X City now, it'll raise Luke's suspicions. Besides, I'm still recovering," replied Luca in a lowered voice, surprised that Abel had chosen Kassy over dealing with Luke.

She had expected him to prioritize his grudge.

Abel remained silent on the other end.

"If you want me to blow my cover or if you're ready to let this whole thing unravel, I can go right now," added Luca.

Abel grew agitated. He could not let go of Kassy. Yet, he was not ready to abandon his vendetta against Luke either.

Frustrated, Abel hung up the phone without saying another word.

Luca let out a sigh of relief, tossed her phone aside, and then walked into the bedroom across the hall.

"Weren't you going to sleep?" asked Luke as he put down his work when he saw her enter.

Luca replied, "Abel just called. He wanted me to go to X City, but I used you as an excuse to convince him I shouldn't go, at least for now."

Luke's eyes darkened. "After one of his bases in A City burned down, he still dares to send you to X City?"

"He's willing to sacrifice anything for Kassy. I almost thought he was going to abandon his plans for you," replied Luca, sitting on the bed and watching him work.

“Get some sleep,” suggested Luke. He knew she was feeling uneasy, which was why she had come over. He reassured her, saying, "Don't worry, I won't let him send you away. I'll protect you."
