Luca thought she should just leave them now, but she was too reluctant to do so.

Such conflicting thoughts made her feel defeated.

At least she knew what she needed back then, but right now, she could no longer figure out what she needed.

Luca gently pushed away Tommy who was clinging to her and stood up.

This was the first time Luca pushed Tommy away. He lifted his head and looked at her with some confusion. “Ms. Luca?"

Luca explained while concealing her feelings, "It's almost dinner time. I'm going to prepare dinner first."

Tommy watched her walk into the kitchen and looked at Luke, feeling sensitive. "Daddy, did I say something wrong to make Ms. Luca unhappy?"

Luke shook her head. He noticed that something was wrong with Luca's emotions, but it was not because of the children. He reckoned she must be having a hard time now due to the different emotions surging within her.

He wanted to help her, but what could he do if she refused to talk?

"Daddy, go ahead and cheer her up." Rainie pushed Luke's hand gently. She thought Luca was tired of a bunch of children surrounding her.

Luke knew what she had in her mind and emphasized, "She has always loved all of you. It's not what you think it is."

Rainie nodded.

Luke stood up and said, "I'm going to find out what's the matter."

He entered the kitchen as he said that.
