Luke kept silent and just stared straight at her.

Madam Mallory thought that it was because Luke was thinking about something. However, he did not speak even after a full minute.

Madam Mallory thought that Luke was looking down on her. She was fuming that he did not seize the opportunity even when she gave him an out. She said to the driver with a stern expression, "Drive."

The driver heard her and hurriedly started the car.

Madam Mallory slammed the door and left.

When the bodyguards blocking the road saw that, they got into their cars as well and left.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief. Her nerves were tense, but it was not because she was afraid that Luke would betray her for the sake of maintaining the harmony between Crawford and Mallory families. She was just worried that Madam Mallory would try to force Luke.

Madam Mallory's men certainly would not be able to hurt Luke, but it was hard to say whether he would get hurt trying to protect her.

After the Mallory family's bodyguards retreated, Luca looked at Luke, who was just standing there. The night wind blew. She could not help shivering from the cold.

Luke retracted his gaze and happened to see Luca shivering. He remembered that he had brought her a coat. He said, "I noticed that the temperature dropped, so I brought you a coat. It's in the backseat."

Luca nodded, opened the rear door, and saw a bag.

She picked it up and inside was one of her long coats.

'How thoughtful of Luke...' She picked up the coat, put it on, and instantly felt a lot warmer.

"Next time, you must keep me in the loop if you encounter such things. You shouldn't have been dragged into this mess with the Mallory family." Luke said. Madam Mallory acted like that because she had no one else to pick on. As such, she went after Luca.

"I was the one who provoked her first." In front of him, Luca admitted to what she did truthfully. After all, she was the one who made the first move on Pierre.

Luke shook his head helplessly when he heard what she said. Nevertheless, he did not ask her to keep her temper in check.
