Now that the drama was over, Luca breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to sit on the couch when she noticed Luke and Tommy standing in the side garden.

She was shocked. Why were they standing there?

As they looked at each other, Luke took Tommy’s hand and said, “Let’s go inside.”

Luca watched the father and son walk away, then appear at the front door. She wondered if they were standing in the garden to watch the drama.

She did not know when they had appeared there, or how much they had heard.

After they came into the living room, Tommy pulled away from Luke’s hand and ran toward Luca. “I miss you so much, Ms. Luca. Why are you here too?”

“I was invited,” Luca smiled and took Tommy’s hand. She lifted her head and glanced at Luke, then turned her head away.

Because of her, Tommy had been close to Kari and Teri since they were babies. It was normal for Sue to invite Tommy to the girls’ birthday party, but Luca did not expect Luke to be the one sending him over.

‘Shouldn’t he be very busy now? After all, the scandal is still brewing…’

“You were invited too? Wow, this must be fate!” Tommy said happily. He waved at his father and said, “Come over here too, Daddy.”

Luke stood there. He had no intention of going over.

“Daddy…” Tommy said cloyingly. He wanted his father to stand closer to Luca.

Luca did not know what Tommy was thinking, but Luke did. The boy liked Luca, so he wanted Luke to interact more with her.

Luke was quite surprised that his son would think like that.
