“Mr. Doyle didn't do anything wrong." Luca knew Luke was joking. Her lips curled up into a smile.

She liked relaxed and happy conversations like this.

"I don't need anyone as long as you're here," said Luke. Luca was more important than anyone else.

Luca's face reddened. She could sense the hidden meaning in Luke's words. Then, she touched her face. She could feel her face burning. She turned to look at the streets, and only then did she realize they had passed by an ancestral hall.

"Mr. Crawford, isn't that the ancestral hall?" Luca asked. She glanced at the navigation to make sure that the ancestral hall she saw was their destination.

"Yes. I'm looking for the parking lot," replied Luke.

The main road outside the ancestral hall was a two-way street. They could not park their car here, and there were no parking lots in the ancestral hall either.

There happened to be a parking lot a couple of hundred feet away. Luke parked the car there. After he got out of the car, he opened his car trunk and took his tools out.

Luke brought many tools, and Luca helped him to pick up one of the measuring tools.

"Let me carry it." Luke was unwilling to tire Luca out even though she used to do such things back then.

"I'm your assistant today. Let me carry it. Besides, it's not heavy at all," replied Luca. She was not a weak person back then, and neither was she now.

She could do what a man could do, and she did not need any help.

Luke picked up the rest of the tools, and the two of them slowly walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.
