As Luke listened to Luca's soft breathing, there was tenderness in his eyes while he looked at her.

Luke had gotten used to the darkness in the room, and he was able to see the woman who was sleeping soundly on the bed while covered in the blanket.

'You little devil,' Luke could not help but secretly blame Luca for a moment.

Luca did not pick up his calls, nor did she return his calls. She only explained it to him once by sending him a message. She was behaving so indifferently, and she was not concerned about his situation either.

If it were not for the Mallory family who came to the villa, Luke would not have had the chance to listen to Luca's voice while he was out on the business trip.

Heartless little woman.

Luke was like a scorned woman, complaining to Luca about how she was being cold to him. However, there was nothing he could do. Luca was the only one who could make him experience such helpless feelings.

It felt awful.

Luke tiptoed to the bedside and quietly climbed onto the bed.

The moment Luca felt a weight on her bed. She noticed that something was wrong. However, it took her some time to regain her consciousness as she had taken the sleeping pills earlier. She opened her eyes wide when someone put his arms around her, and she exclaimed, “Who are you?!"

There was nothing Luke could do about Luca's vigilant behavior. He held her in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid. It's me."

The familiar voice calmed Luca's nerves right away, and she slowly lay down on the bed with her back facing Luke. Then, she said, "Mr. Crawford, how did you..."

Luke felt a little guilty when he heard Luca's sleepy voice. He could not bear to blame her anymore and replied, "I'm back. Let's sleep. We'll talk tomorrow."

Although Luca was deeply asleep, she came back to her senses the moment she woke up with a start. She was about to say something and struggle out of Luke's embrace, but her heart melted when she heard the weariness in Luke's voice. She dispelled the thought of struggling.

Luca was confused and lady down on the bed. She listened to his breathing that came from behind.

Why did Luke come back in the middle of the night? Furthermore, Tina had told her that Luke was facing some problems with the acquisition as there was another buyer interested in acquiring the company. Luke was fighting over the Hilton's company with his competitor.
