“What are we betting on?” Luca frowned. She was not used to Luke’s attitude.


    “I bet that Nina would not be able to leave Percy,” Luke said.


    “What’s at stake?” Luca continued to ask.


    “I don’t know yet, but the loser would have to obey whatever the winner says. What do you think, Dr.


    Craw?” Luke asked.


    Luca’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at Luke. She could not tell what Luke was thinking.


    Luke seemed very different today. On other days, he would not pay attention to other people’s affairs,


    but today, he wanted to make a bet with her.


    Furthermore, the stakes were excitingly high…


    Luke had never obeyed anyone. If he lost the bet, he would have to obey her. Luca could tell that he


    was quite confident of winning.


    “Are you too chicken?” Luke chuckled.


    Luca felt her knees grow weak when she heard that chuckle. On an impulse, she agreed to the bet.


    “Who’s chicken? I’ll take you on the bet. You’d better not regret it, Mr. Crawford!”

    She immediately regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.


    She had been too impulsive…


    Luke’s chuckle seemed to have charmed her into agreeing to the bet. It was toote for her to go back


    on her word.


    Dr. Luca Craw would not have done that.


    Luca hoped that Nina would not return to Percy, but she knew that Percy was an influential figure and


    might use some sinister ploy to keep Nina captive.


    When she thought of that, she said, “I’d like to add a caveat.”


    “Say it,” Luke said as he looked at her.


    “If Percy tried to hold Nina captive through some sinister or dastardly trick, that wouldn’t count,” Luca


    said.


    Luke nodded. “Maybe you shouldn’t have treated her as your friend so quickly.”


    “What do you mean?” Luca did not understand.


    Luke shook his head and said, “You’ll understand it after you lose the bet.”


    As an outsider, he could clearly tell that Nina had feelings for Percy. She was not the type of person


    who would do anything for money, so he could tell that Nina stayed by Percy’s side for three years for a


    reason other than money.


    That reason must be love.


    She would change her mind once she knew that Percy was doing all that to stay with her.
