"Since you think it's nice too, I'll buy it," replied Nina, proceeding to place the order.

After placing the order, Nina rose to her feet.

"Where are you going?" asked Luca.

"I'd like to use the restroom," answered Nina with a smile on her face.

At the thought that Karen was also dining in this restaurant, Luca stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"You're going too?" Nina asked in surprise, wondering why Luca was going again when she had just come back.

"Just keeping you company," said Luca. She took Nina's hand as they walked out of the private room together.

Luke and Percy, who were behind them, did not say anything. Luca closed the private room door behind her and then walked toward the restroom with Nina.

When Nina saw this, she could not help but say, "Why do I feel like you're acting strangely?"

"Am I?” Luca shook her head. "I just want to be with you."

"You were gone for so long just now. Did you meet someone?" asked Nina, feeling that Luca's behavior was odd. She wondered if Luca had met someone just now, hence her long absence.

"Nina, you've become very shrewd lately. You're no longer easily fooled,” replied Luca in a helpless tone.

"You were thinking of fooling me? Looks like I guessed right. Who did you meet just now? To make you so eager to be my bodyguard..." Nina had just finished speaking when she suddenly realized something and said, "Could it be... Madam Mallory?"

The only people who could make Luca alert and want to protect her were few.

Karen was one, and Pierre was another.

Pierre was currently in the hospital. Luca could not have met him here.

Hence, it had to be Karen.
