After being embraced by Luke, a rush of warmth gradually spread from behind and enveloped her whole body.

As Luca's heart found solace, her cold hands and feet grew considerably warmer.

She could not tell if it was the presence of Luke behind her that made her feel at ease, or if it was the effect of melatonin. In his embrace, she slowly drifted into a dream.

As he listened to Luca's steady breathing, Luke was unusually sleepless.

He was still thinking about what he had done last night, wondering if he had done something wrong to make Luca so upset.

He truly wished to keep her carefree, happy, and content.

Luke snuggled closer to Luca, who seemed to possess a magical effect. Just being near her allowed him to find peace and sleep soundly.

However, given the current situation, tonight was sure to be a sleepless night...

The following day, Luca woke up and blinked her eyes. It was only then that she realized she had fallen asleep last night.

She thought she would have a sleepless night, but to her surprise, Luke had easily comforted her.

Luca sat up, stretched lazily, and glanced at the empty spot beside her bed. She instinctively reached out to feel the temperature of the bed.

She did not know when this habit started. Whenever she woke up and Luke was not beside her, she would touch the spot to estimate how long he had been awake. The spot had already cooled, so Luca assumed Luke had risen long ago.

When she thought of Nina, who had also spent the night here, she quickly got up. After freshening up, she left the bedroom.

Luke was in the opposite bedroom, attending to work. When he heard the door open, he glanced in her direction.

Luca gave him a sweet smile.

Luke lifted the corner of his lips, offering a smile in response to her. However, due to the international conference he was engaged in, his focus returned to the computer screen.

Luca knew he was busy, so she did not disturb him. She decided to check on Nina, but thinking that she might not have woken up yet, she went downstairs instead.
