Luca held her phone in her hands after hearing the beeping sound. She glanced at the time. It was still early.

She put down her briefcase and looked at the messy apartment. Then, she started cleaning the place up.

An hour later, Luca had already finished cleaning up the apartment, but Amur was still not home yet.

Luca had no idea if he was on a mission, so she dared not to call him again lest she disturbed him. She picked up a piece of paper, left a note for him, and left the apartment.

After she left the apartment, she hailed a taxi to go back to the villa.

It was already 11 o'clock at night.

Luca walked into the living room. No one was there. She figured that the children must have gone upstairs to sleep at this hour, but Luke...

She bent down and changed into a pair of slippers. Then, she crept her way up the stairs. As expected, the second floor was quiet as well.

Luca walked to her bedroom door and glanced at the room opposite her. The door was closed tightly. She could not see if the room was lit, so she did not know if Luke was still awake.

However, based on her past experiences, Luke must be working now. He would not have gone to sleep so early.

Luca planned to put her briefcase down and go over to check on him. As she pushed her bedroom door open, the door opposite her room was pushed open at the same time too.

She turned around when she heard the sound. “Mr. Crawford."

Luke nodded and glanced at the time, pretending to ask her in an aloof manner, "The Norman family made you stay until now?"

Luca shook her head and explained, "No, I went to the apartment just now."

Apartment?

Amur?

Luke's face darkened in a split second. He refused to see Luca have too much contact with Amur.
