"Stop it. Stop teasing me." Nina's words showed the pamperedness of a woman in love. "It's obvious that I don't hold a place in your heart, so you didn't come to the hospital to pick me up."

"If I had shown up, wouldn't it ruin your fun time with Mr. Mallory?" Luca listened to the tone of Nina's voice and knew that something must have happened.

Otherwise, Nina would not be speaking in this tone.

Her words seemed to be covered with honey, which made Luca both relieved and envious.

Nina snorted and said, "I don't care. I was discharged from the hospital today and you didn't come to pick me up, so you must accompany me for dinner."

"Now?" Luca glanced at the time. It was not too late.

"Of course, there's no time like the present. Today's Sunday. I've informed Sue and booked the restaurant. The two of you must have a meal with me today." Nina shared her ultimate goal.

In the past few years that she and Percy were on and off, Sue and Bianca were the ones always by her side. Later, Bianca's personality changed and Luca appeared, seemingly replacing Bianca. Luca had been silently accompanying her, so Nina had to treat her to this meal.

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner to celebrate you finally finding a good match, and at the same time, to celebrate you being discharged from the hospital." Luca agreed.

Since there was no one to go back to in the villa tonight, it was not a bad idea to spend some time with Nina.

When she thought of that, she could not help being stunned. ‘When did I become so accustomed to Luke and the kids being by my side?'

It took a lot of time for her to accept that they would no longer be around. However, it had only been two days since they were not in the villa and she was already not used to it. She even felt a little bored.

Amid the feelings of boredom, there was also a feeling of not wanting to go back to the villa alone to face the silence there.

Nina was a little embarrassed and said, "I said I was going to treat you for a meal."

"We can decide it later. Will Mr. Mallory let you out of the house, though?" Luca continued to tease her in an attempt to get rid of the discomfort she felt internally.
