Luca gently shook her head and said, “Mr. Crawford, it's inappropriate for me to go along with you. They're your wife's family."

Luke stared at her with his deep eyes.

Wife?

Was she not his wife?

She clearly wanted to see her family at this time, but she was unable to visit them due to her identity and the forces behind her...

Luke did not expose her and said, "If you'd like to visit them but you're worried that they'll overthink, you can go after us. Lliam is on duty today."

Luca looked down and pondered for a moment. She still thought it was inappropriate to do so and said, "Mr. Crawford, I heard Nina say that locals here always visit the wife's family on the second day of New Year. I shouldn't do this."

She was actually the most suitable person to visit them, but she had no choice but to tell Luke that it was inappropriate for her to do so in a soft voice.

Luke knew what she was thinking about. He did not force her. He carried the two bags and headed outside. Then, he asked, "Are there fruits in the fridge?"

"Yes. I've prepared two fruit baskets." Luca followed him out of the storage room too. She had everything well-prepared.

Although the Rayne family did not know about her true identity, Jack knew about it. He probably wanted to celebrate the New Year with Luca.

However, Luca had rejected his invitation and he was helpless.

"Okay. Then I'll take the kids along with me first. We won't be back for lunch and dinner," replied Luke. He noticed a hint of sadness flashing across Luca's eyes.

Even though her parents, grandfather, and aunt were here, she had no choice but to stay in the villa and wait for them to come home during festive seasons like the New Year.

Luke felt sorry for her. He felt helpless.

If Luke could find out where the base of the Island of Despair was, he could confidently question Luca about who was manipulating her.

That was the only way to solve Luca's problem at its root.

Even though there was no way her appearance could change back to how it was before, she was still the woman he loved.

Luke hoped that she could be truly happy soon.
