The cup of tea placed in front of Luke smelled good. Luke knew the churning alcohol smell in his stomach would stop once he drank it.

However, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he patted the seat beside him and said, “Take a seat."

Luca noticed that Luke had something to tell her. Hence, she sat down on another sofa. It was late at night. Nina and the kids were already in bed, and it was quiet. However, she still kept a suitable distance away from Luke.

Luke did not force her to sit beside him. Her nerves would be on edge as long as Nina was still around.

"Matysh found a woman to accompany him. And that woman has a pair of eyes that look like yours," said Luke.

Luca looked down, feeling helpless.

It was not a good thing. That would only show how much Matysh desired and wanted Luca. She replied in a soft voice, "Okay."

"If something happens to you, don't hide it from me. You have to tell me. Although he's not a local, he approached a criminal organization for help. That's why it's not easy to deal with him," Luke reminded her with a solemn look on his face.

If he had been more careful and determined back then, Luca would not have ended up in this situation today.

Therefore, Luke could not bear the pain of losing her again.

Luke's voice was stern and serious as he was trying to let her know how serious the matter was.

Luca nodded and replied, "Don't worry. I'm not a child. I know I can't solve this all by myself. I'll never hide anything from you."

Luke let out a sigh of relief. He was unable to take the weight off his mind whenever it was something related to Luca. Fortunately, Luca had given him her word.

The tension in his heart was relieved a little.

Luca shot a glance at the cup of tea that had almost cooled down and reminded him in a soft voice, "Mr. Crawford, drink the tea while it's still warm. It won't be that effective once it gets cold."

Luke picked up the cup of tea and gulped it down.
