"Okay, it's getting late. I'll hang up now. Luca, drop by to have a meal with me when you're free." Old Master Crawford waved at the camera.

"Old Master Crawford, rest well." Luca smiled, hung up the phone, and waited for Aunt Neile to return.

Aunt Neile immediately returned to the house after she sent the Mallory family out the door. She noticed that Luca was sitting calmly on the sofa. She patted her chest and said, "Ms. Craw, I was almost scared to death! I'm glad that they didn't do anything."

"It would've been fine even if they tried something. Aunt Neile, if you encounter this situation again, make sure you protect yourself." Luca was touched by how Aunt Neile put herself in front of her when she realized that there was danger.

"That won't work, Ms. Craw. I'm stronger than you and can take hits for you." Aunt Neile smiled. After the false alarm, she relaxed a little and cleaned up the cups on the coffee table.

Luca stood up and said, "Aunt Neile, you can get off work when you're done cleaning. It's too late, so there are probably no buses. I'll get you a ride and ask the driver to wait for you at the gate of the community."

With that, she picked up her phone and got a cab for Aunt Neile.

"Thank you, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile smiled gratefully and reminded her, "By the way, please inform Mr. Crawford. He's probably worried sick."

"I will," Luca said. She clicked in her chat with Luke, thought about it for a second, and sent him a voice note.

"The matter has been resolved thanks to you and Old Master Crawford. Thank you." She was courteous.

Luke's expression turned sour when he heard the voice message.

'This woman... Can she not be so polite? Why is she treating me like an outsider after her face has changed?! I'm still her husband!'

After Aunt Neile left, Luca went upstairs. She did not know whose bedroom the children took Nina to, so she said, "Nina, the matter is resolved. Come out."
