"Alright." Luke did not decline her invitation. He carried his laptop off the bed and settled onto the wicker sofa.

There was a coffee table in front of him, so he placed the laptop on it. After a moment's thought, he decided to sit on the carpet.

"Hmm?" Luca was somewhat puzzled by his actions.

"It's more convenient this way." Luke gestured with his hand to indicate the height of the laptop.

If he sat on the floor, he did not have to lower his head too much, making it easier for him to work.

"Yes, that’s true." Luca glanced at him and placed a cushion behind his back. "This should be more comfortable."

"Yes, it is,” replied Luke. He saw that Luca had already poured a cup of coffee. He reached out, thinking of grabbing it. Luca placed a piece of fruit near his lips.

"Have some fruit first to boost your vitamins.” Luca smiled.

Luke did not like eating fruits, but Luca's offering was an exception.

He opened his mouth, and Luca fed him the fruit.

Luke savored it.

The fruits prepared by Mr. Mullen were sweet, and the ones Luca fed him were even sweeter.

"Is it good?" asked Luca. "Mr. Mullen said these fruits are the freshest seasonal ones in X City. You might not find anything this fresh in A City."

"It's good. It’s very sweet," affirmed Luke.

Luca heard him and took a bite as well. Indeed, it was crispy, sweet, and refreshing.

She thought about her three kids. They all loved fruits. If they could taste such sweet and crispy fruits, she wondered how happy they would be.

At the same time, Luca also thought about Nyla.
