Queenie looked at Jack and nodded after Luca gave her promise. Then, she said, "I shouldn''t be


    keeping you any longer. See youter."


    "Sure," replied Luca.


    Queenie hung up the call first.


    Jack asked again, "Should we invite Luke too?"


    "You''re thinking about figuring out if there''s anything suspicious between them, right?" Queenie knew


    what he had in mind, and Jack nodded.


    "Actually, it was already very suspicious when they slept in the same bedroomst time. But we


    believed in Luke''s integrity, so we stopped suspecting him." Queenie grabbed her husband''s hand and


    added, "I know you believe in Luca. I''d like to believe that she''s not that kind of person either. I''m just


    trying to get her to talk tonight, so there''s no need to ask Luke toe over too."


    "Alright." Jack did not say anything knowing that Queenie had her own ns. After all, he wanted to


    find out whether or not he was wrong about Luca too.


    Queenie stood up when Jack agreed with it. She said, "Then I''ll go get ready."


    "Wait, did you juste back from the hospital just now?"Jack asked.


    "Yes." Queenie nodded. Leia suddenly felt ufortable a few days ago, so she was admitted to the


    hospital again. "I ran into Mrs. Mallory when I walked out of Leia''s ward."


    Jack nodded.


    Then, Queenie asked again, "What''s wrong?"


    Jack did not tell her what he was thinking about to prevent her from getting worried again. Therefore,


    he said, "Nothing. Go back and get ready."


    "Okay." Queenie knew he had something else to do, so she turned around and left.


    After Jack sent Queenie out of the door, he made a call. "Find out what''s going on with the Mallory


    family these days."


    Jack hung up the phone after he gave his orders and sat on the office chair, pondering.


    His men were quite slow in investigating things, but there was no way he could ask Luke for help now.


    He could feel there was a huge mystery shadowing the Crawford and Norman families after things had


    come this far.


    Perhaps Luke knew about it, but he chose not to tell him. If that was the case, he must be trying to


    protect the Norman family or someone else.


    Was it Luca he wanted to protect?


    Jack shook his head. It seemed like other than handling his work, he would have to find out what Luke


    was up to.


    It was six-thirty in the evening. Luca was still working in her office.


    She nced at the time, then at the documents that she had yet toplete. She was not anxious


    about them as she thought that there would be enough time for her.


    Luke walked into her office without knocking on the door or making any sound.


    Luca was keenly aware that someone hade in. She looked up and realized it was Luke. She was


    slightly startled and stood up unconsciously to greet him, “Mr. Crawford."


    Luke looked at the documents on her table and nodded. He said with a cold voice with his hands in his


    pockets, "Still busy?"


    "No, there are just some documents left," replied Luca while wondering why he was here.


    "There aren''t many left. Leave them for tomorrow." Luke nced at the folders. She had the habit of


    keeping thepleted documents on her right-hand side while the unfinished ones were kept on her


    left. It was just like how Luke did it.


    Now, there was only a white-colored folder on her left. The white-colored folder was not an important


    folder either.


    "It''ll only take me half an hour to finish it," said Luca. When she sat down and nned to continue with


    her work, she suddenly thought that Luke might havee to see her because of something else.


    She lifted her head and looked at Luke''s expressionless face. She had gotten used to his gentleness


    back then, so she was still not used to seeing him being cold to her. "Mr. Crawford, are you waiting for


    me to get off work?"


    Luke nodded and reminded her. "Zander has picked up the children and sent them back to the vi."


    Previously, when she was still Bianca, she would never work overtime in the office. She would bring her


    work back home most of the time. It was because she wanted to prove to the Crawford family that even


    though she had her own career, she would not neglect her children. Her children would still be the


    center of her world.


    Luca recalled that she had not told Luke that she was going to meet Queenie, so she quickly said, "Mr.


    Crawford, Mrs. Norman invited me for dinner at her house tonight, so I probably won''t go back home so


    soon..."


    Did Queenie invite her for dinner?


    Luke slightly furrowed his brows. Why did he not know about it?


    "Mr. Crawford, is there a problem?" Luca asked again.


    "You should leave earlier since you promised to have dinner with them. I''ll bring these documents back


    for you. You can continue working on them after dinner." Luke came closer and picked up the


    whitecolored folder.


    Luca was so astonished that her jaw dropped a little as she watched his domineering gestures. She felt


    helpless.


    Well, it was true that she should not let her parents wait for her.


    Luca got up and said, "Alright. I''m leaving."


    “Do you want me to give you a ride?" Luke asked.


    Without a second thought, Luca shook her head and answered immediately, "No, thank you, Mr.


    Crawford. I don''t want Mr. and Mrs. Norman to misunderstand—"


    Luke slightly narrowed his eyes as he listened to her. He felt annoyed deep in his heart.


    Misunderstood?


    She was his wife. It was just that she had changed her appearance and was ced beside him by the


    people behind her. What was there to misunderstand?


    If he were not worried that something might happen to her, he would have jumped at the chance to


    blow her cover.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Luca noticed that he had been keeping silent with an annoyed look on his face. She said carefully, "Mr.


    Crawford, if there''s nothing else, I''m leaving first."


    "Off you go." Luke brought the folder along with him and left the office first.


    Luca looked at the man''s tall figure from behind and let out a sigh. She knew Queenie would not invite


    her for dinner without reason.


    If it was not about Leia, then it was probably because of Luke''s affair.


    If Madam Mallory really had nothing better to do, she would definitely secretly plot against her.


    However, she hoped that the reason Queenie came looking for her was not that Madam Mallory was


    talking nonsense about her behind her back.


    She had no idea how she was going to exin herself if it was really because of Madam Mallory''s


    actions.


    Could she insist that there was nothing between her and Luke?


    However, they were already staying together. Who would believe that? If Jack had sent someone to


    investigate this matter, he would be able to spot loopholes in her words easily...


    Luca stood there and waited for five minutes. She only packed and left after assuming that Luke had


    left.


    She went downstairs, got out of the office, and hailed a taxi to head to Norman Residence.


    It was already ten past seven in the evening when she reached Norman Residence.


    Luca nced at the time and secretly rejoiced that she was not toote for dinner. The Norman family


    usually had dinner around this time.


    She rang the doorbell.


    The maid came to open the door. She was not surprised to see Luca as Queenie had already told her


    about it. She greeted her passionately, "Ms. Luca, you''re here. Come on in."


    Luca smiled at her and entered.


    She nced at the garden on her left habitually. The rose bushes were already hibernating because of


    the weather. Queenie had trimmed them neatly so that they could bloom even more beautifully next


    year.
