"Yes, I know," Luca murmured against his chest, her voice muffled.

She had not made up her mind yet, so she did not plan on saying anything. She just wanted to hug him and breathe in his familiar scent.

Luke Crawford was the man she loved the most...

Luke waited for a while but did not hear Luca continue. He knew she still had not made up her mind to speak.

His chest was a tumultuous mix, brimming with warmth but also a profound sense of helplessness toward Luca.

She still could not bring herself to say it at this moment. Luke had no choice but to give her some more time.

"Hmm, it's getting late. I need to go to work." Luca felt her strength returning to her body and slowly raised her head, looking at the man's resolute jawline.

"Okay, come back early tonight if possible. I promised the kids we'd go out for dinner," replied Luke.

Luca wanted to agree immediately, but she frowned at the thought of the recent rumors.

This scandal had shaken Wanda and Queenie. She did not have the courage to be seen in public with Luke at this moment.

If the reporters caught wind of anything, it would be even more distressing for both of them, who were already in the hospital.

Luca hesitated and felt anxious.

"Don't worry. It'll be fine." Luke reassured her. "It's just a small restaurant. A friend of Mr. Doyle owns it. He has everything arranged, and it's a private setting. Only the restaurant owner and his wife will be there, no one else.

“The owner’s lips are sealed tight. He won't gossip about anything,” added Luke to assure her. “The kids haven't dined out for a long time. They know you've been down lately. That’s why they suggested this. We shouldn’t disappoint them, right?"

What Luke said at the end left Luca with no room to refuse.
