Luke was like the head of the household, coming and going at will. He kept barging into her life.

Luca looked at the closed door with mixed feelings. It was not that she did not welcome him. It was that she felt unworthy of standing by his side.

If Luke wanted to get close to her, there was no way she could refuse him. In the end, it was them who would be hurt while Abel was the biggest beneficiary.

Thinking of this, Luca felt like she was about to break down. She took a deep breath and cleaned the dining table.

She had to find something to do to distract herself from the negative emotions.

After she was done with the dishes, Luca walked to the balcony and saw the clothes Luke had changed out of. She sighed, sorted the clothes, and put them in the washing machine.

She also washed the clothes he changed out of the night before.

After Luca put the clothes in the washing machine, she stared at the machine and spaced out for a moment before she walked into the maid's room.

The swelling on her face had almost subsided. When she fully recovered, she would go back to work at T Corporation. At that time, she would lead the team from the laboratory to do the final stage of research on the drug and also participate in T Corporation's projects. She would be busy, and it would be much more difficult to find time for her personal research.

After she experimented for a while, her phone rang.

Luca glanced at it and found that the call was from a local number in A City. She did not hesitate and picked up the call. "Hello."

"Hello, is this Ms. Craw?" Wanda Rayne said.

Luca was nervous when she heard Wanda's voice. She was worried that something had happened to Old Man Rayne. She quickly said, "I am. What's the matter?"
