Luca was puzzled. She had initially thought that Rainie was feeling down because of her involvement with Luke.

Little did she know that the child was upset because of the reporters exposing her relationship with Luke.

"Rainie?" Luca still could not quite understand.

Rainie looked at her with teary eyes and said, "Ms. Luca, I'm afraid you'll leave us because of this."

“How could I..." Luca's heart softened, and her eyes welled up with tears. She realized that the child was worried about her leaving and being separated because of the news.

"Ms. Luca, you won't leave, right? No matter what those reporters say, you won't leave, will you?" Rainie wanted to seek an answer from Luca.

"Don't worry. I won't leave," Luca reassured her and held her in her arms. Girls' minds were often more delicate than boys'. She understood that Rainie was afraid of her leaving because of the news.

However, they were all precious to her. How could she ever leave them?

"Okay. As long as you stay, Ms. Luca," replied Rainie as she emerged from Luca's embrace. She closed the webpage on her tablet and placed it on the table.

She was relieved when she knew Luca would not leave.

"It's getting late. Let's go to bed," said Luca as she took a tissue from the table and gently wiped Rainie's face.

Rainie stared at her with her big, sparkling eyes. Luca felt like her heart was melting. "Don't worry. From now on, I'll be here every day."

Luca secretly added another word in her heart, 'Hopefully.'

The internet was abuzz with this matter. Luca wondered what Abel's reaction would be if he saw it.

Perhaps he was planning a scheme to deal with Luke.

Luca refused to become a tool against Luke, but Nyla was still in Abel's hands. Therefore, she had no choice but to be a weapon against Luke.

After putting Rainie to sleep, Luca returned to the master bedroom. She glanced at the opposite door that was left ajar, where she could hear intermittent conversations.
