After she did everything, she went back to her bedroom to rest. However, she heard the noises of a car driving in and the engine turning off.

Luke had come back...

Luca made her way down the steps. When she stepped on the curtail step, she happened to see Luke walking into the house. He looked cold as he closed the door.

Luke frowned when he saw her and asked, "It's late. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

“I was going to sleep, but I heard the sound of your car..." Luca looked at Luke's face. He still looked energetic, but she had no idea if he had his dinner already.

She asked, "Mr. Crawford, I saved some broccoli chicken casserole for you. Do you want some?"

Luke did not have his dinner, but it was well past dinner time. He was not feeling hungry either. However, when Luke heard Luca asking him that, he asked her, "You made it?"

"Yes. It only takes five minutes to reheat, then you can have it," said Luca, remembering that Luke had a weak stomach.

"Alright. I'll have it," replied Luke.

Luca heard him and trotted to the kitchen, taking the broccoli chicken casserole out.

Even though she had tried to keep it warm, the food still turned cold as it had been a few hours.

Luca placed the food in the oven and set the timer. She thought that Luke was probably starving, but she did not prepare any soup today. Hence, she got him a glass of warm milk.

Luca held the glass of milk, headed to the dining room, and put it on the dining table. "Mr. Crawford, I didn't make any soup today. You can have some warm milk first."

Luke sat on the chair and took the glass of milk that Luca had prepared for him. He took one sip after another, enjoying the taste of the milk.

It was only a glass of ordinary milk, yet Luke was drinking it as though he was drinking wine or coffee. Luca's face reddened as she watched him.

She had always been secretly obsessed with Luke's elegance.

Luca heard the oven's timer ringing, she strolled to the kitchen immediately to get the heated food out of the oven. "Mr. Crawford, is it enough? I can make a grilled
