"Yes, Mr. Crawford is still busy upstairs," answered Aunt Neile.

"Then I'll go upstairs for a bit.” Nina rose to her feet and made her way up the stairs.

She headed to the bedroom where Luke was. She knocked on the door without going in.

Luke lifted the cup of Americano and glanced at the person standing at the door. He spoke in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"

"There's something I'd like to know. I heard Luca say that she'll go back to Crawford Manor with you tonight, is that true?"

"Yes." Luke withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the computer screen. After putting down the cup of Americano, he typed on the keyboard for a while.

"I don't care what you guys have been keeping from me, and I don't care how Old Master Crawford feels about whatever's going on between you two. But with this whole scandal thing, Luca might feel that she's being treated unfairly if you take her back there. You'd better make sure to protect her,” said Nina.

Even though Bianca was Luke's legal wife, Nina became unconsciously protective of Luca after getting to know her.

It was contradictory, but Percy had also advised her to follow her heart. Therefore, Nina followed her own feelings.

She did not want to see Luca being bullied.

Perhaps it was because Luca had helped her before. That was why her heart leaned toward her...

That was what Nina thought.

"I'll always protect her," affirmed Luke as he voiced his commitment.

Furthermore, this promise would last a lifetime.

As Nina listened to Luke's firm commitment, she nodded in silence.
