After Luke cleaned himself up, Luca walked into the bathroom, freshened herself up, and changed into a fresh set of clothes.

When Luca walked out of the bathroom, Luke had already put on his clothes. He was talking on the phone. She unconsciously treaded lightly across the room.

Luke nodded at her and turned on the speaker. It was Percy on the other end of the line.

Percy asked, "You're not in A City now, huh?"

“Yeah. I'm in X City," answered Luke.

"Why did you go there?"

“Same as you. I'm running away from someone." Luke walked toward Luca and held her in his arms.

The fresh and nice scent on his body greeted Luca. It was the lemon scent left on him after he shaved and put on clean clothes.

“Running away from someone?" Percy let out a chuckle. “Could it be that you've gotten yourself into trouble for having a love affair?"

“Shut up," Luke replied with a deep voice. He lowered his head and glanced at Luca. How could he have any love affairs? He had only been in love with Luca his whole life.

She was now Luca, but she was Bianca back then.

Nina's voice came from the other end of the line. “What are you talking about? Hurry up and get straight to the point. Otherwise, we'll have to go back to A City."

Percy, who was on the other end of the line, had no choice but to say, “Okay. Since you're there, we should head to X City for a vacation too. Let's talk about this after the New Year."

Luke raised his brows and asked, “Aren't you overseas?"

“Nah, don't even mention it. I got tricked into coming back here, and I'm looking for somewhere to go for a vacation. You're staying at the Crawford Ancestral Home, right?" Percy asked.

Percy was enjoying their vacation abroad at first, and they were not planning to come back after the new year.
