If he was attending to those Russians, then would Tia be there too?

Even though Luca noticed that what had happened between them was a thing of the past, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of another woman entering his life.

It felt like the man that she loved had been stolen by someone else.

Luke was not a toy. He was a man. However, it felt terrible knowing that someone could steal him from her.

Luca let out a sigh. She took Tommy's uniform out of the washing machine and hung them on the balcony.

She walked into the bathroom and took a shower. She felt her heart warm up when she looked at Tommy who was sleeping soundly on the bed. She reckoned Luke would not be picking up the child tonight. She hugged the child and slept with him.

The apartment's doorbell rang when it was in the middle of the night.

Luca did not take sleeping pills. Hence, she did not fall into a deep sleep. She opened her eyes once she heard the bell.

Luca trotted out of the bedroom when the doorbell was still ringing. She glanced outside through the peephole. It was Luke.

Did he come to pick up the child?

Luca opened the door and gave way to the man who was standing outside. She sniffed the air without knowing it herself. He did not stink of alcohol, which indicated that he did not attend the business dinner. She was secretly rejoicing when she realized that. "Mr. Crawford, you're here."

Luke looked at her sleepy eyes. She had probably just woken up. He nodded and walked into the house. He could not find the child in the living room. He reckoned she had already brought the child inside the room to sleep. "I'm here to pick Tommy up."

Luca glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already one o'clock in the morning. She did not expect him to pick the child up at this hour.

She calculated the distance of the journey. If he sent the child home now, it would take almost an hour to arrive home. Even though there were no cars on the road in the middle of the night, it was still going to take half an hour...

Luca said, “Tommy is asleep. Why don't you let him sleep here tonight?”

Luke pushed the bedroom door open. The child was sleeping soundly in the bedroom. Tommy was the kind of child who was very sensitive to unfamiliar environments and outsiders, but he was fine with Luca.
