The car was moving slowly and steadily. Luke did not turn on the radio this time. There was dead silence in the car.

The coat was still on Luca's shoulder. She turned around and looked at the man beside her. She pondered before lifting her hand to take off the coat.

Luke spoke, "Put it on."

"It's warm enough in the car. It's a little hot for me^" Luca explained. Luke turned on the heater once they got into the car as he was worried that she would catch a cold.

“It'll be cold outside when you get out later,” Luke said, telling her to leave it on her.

Luca had no choice but to leave the coat on her. She looked outside the window and realized they were not going to Nina's apartment.

"Mr. Crawford, are you going the wrong way?" she asked. He should have made a right turn just now if they were heading to Nina's place. The road they were driving on now would take them back to his apartment.

She thought Luke had accidentally taken the wrong turn.

Luke continued to drive forward without planning to turn back. "Percy wants to win Nina back.”

Luca nodded her head. She knew that, and she knew Percy had never given up. The current situation was just because he could not detangle himself from the Johnston family.

Then, Luke said, "It's hard for Percy to make a move if you stay with Nina."

Luca was startled. She had no idea that she was the third wheel.

She knew Percy wanted to win Nina back, but Nina had asked her to accompany her. There was no way she could reject her.

Moreover, judging from Nina's personality, she did not like to be disturbed. Percy must have freaked her out. Otherwise, she would not have requested her to accompany her.

"Nina needs me to keep her company," said Luca. Besides, her belongings were still at Nina's place.

"She only wants to avoid Percy. She doesn't need someone to keep her company." Luke insisted as he parked the car below the apartment.
