Luke did not say a word as he stopped. His gaze was as sharp as a razor, piercing through the skinny woman in front of him.

He had to admit that everything that Nina had gone through was because of him and Bianca.

However, after Nina experienced all those things, Luke had done his best to compensate her. He did everything he should have done. Although he owed her a favor, he would not take things too far.

Nina saw Luke's sharp gaze. What kind of gaze had she never seen after living together with Percy for such a long time? However, she felt an inexplicable fluster in her heart.

She suppressed her emotions and said calmly, “I wasn't asleep when you came back last night. I was sitting on the balcony outside the house without the lights on. That's why you didn't notice I was there."

Nina had been positive and calm for the past few days, but deep down in her heart, she felt like she was on pins and needles. She could hardly fall asleep at night without taking Luca's medicine.

It was the same last night...

Nina was having trouble sleeping at night. She felt like the room was stuffy, so she put on her clothes and walked out of the guest room. It was quiet, and she did not make any noise. She open the balcony door and closed it behind her. Then, she sat on the cane chair outside the balcony and spent time alone on the balcony as the cold winter wind blew her anxieties away.

However, she left the balcony door ajar. Therefore, she heard Luke's footsteps and saw him entering Luca's bedroom when she turned around and glanced behind her.

She did not see him come out after that.

"And?" Luke was calm. He did not look like someone who was caught red-handed.

"I saw you entering Luca's bedroom, and you didn't come out after that." Nina frowned, but Luke's expression was what she had expected to see.

He would not be Luke Crawford if he was easily affected by such things.

"Are you warning me?" Luke questioned her back as he stared at Nina. He believed that Percy must have told her something. Otherwise, Nina would not be as calm as she was now.

Still, judging from the situation now, Luke was pretty sure that Nina had no idea that Luca's true identity was Bianca.
