Rainie's words left Luke speechless.

"Who taught you to say that?" Luke's mood darkened as he took Rainie's hand.

‘If I could say such sweet words to Luca, why wouldn't I?'

If he did, he was afraid that he would scare Luca off. It would not be worth the loss if she opted to retreat and escape...

Moreover, he did not like to use his words to show his affection. He believed that his actions spoke louder than words.

However, the situation that Luca was in did not allow him to act so recklessly. After all, she still had some scruples holding her back.

Luke did not act as he did before considering that she could not reveal her identity. Plus, there was still someone who was manipulating her behind the scenes.

"No... No one taught me to say that. I just think that what Aunt Nina said made sense..." Rainie shrank her neck and could not help but wonder. She overheard the adults speak, so she thought that that was how things should be. That was why she repeated it to Luke.

"This does not apply to Ms. Luca. Anyway, she can't run away. You're a kid. You should be good and stay out of adult matters." Luke urged. He did not want the kids to overthink.

"I know, Daddy..." Rainie nodded.

"I still have some things to attend to. You should go downstairs," Luke said as he continued to work on the documents.

His recent workload had increased due to the acquisition of Hampton Company on top of preparing to win over the development rights of the suburban land.

The busier he got, the more things he had to deal with.

Luke could only squeeze some time here and there. He even asked Lliam to drive him to and from work so that he could work in the car.

However, he did not feel tired. He slept with Luca in his arms every night, so no matter how little he slept, he would always wake up feeling full of energy. It was unlike before when he needed to rely on cups of coffee to keep his energy level up.
