Luca felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Thosepassionate words sounded like they came from a


    parent caring about their child''s daily life.


    "It''s alright. Although I''m taking up another job, I''m still able to manage it," said Luca. She finished


    drinking the chicken soup and picked up the spoon to help herself with the food.


    Queenie prepared all the dishes. They were home-cooked for the guest.


    Luca took her time tasting the dishes. Although they were not particrly tasty, they had the taste of


    home—something that she had been missing.


    Queenie and Jack exchanged nces with each other, then asked, "Oh, Luca, where are you staying


    now? I''ll ask the driver to send you back hometer."


    Luca thought of Luke. If the driver were to send her back, then her current address would be found.


    She shook her head and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Norman, but I can go home by myself."


    "It''s cold out there. There won''t be as many drivers working thiste at night. Don''t reject my offer and


    let my driver send you home, alright? We''re all staying in A City. How far can it be?" Queenie insisted.

    Luca pondered for a moment. She had no choice but to agree.


    She must not let the driver send her back to the vi, though. She would head to Amur''s ce after


    dinner and check in on how he had been doing these days.


    Queenie continued to ask her when Luca agreed to it. "Luca, I''ve never heard you mention your love


    life after knowing you for so long. Are you dating someone?"


    Luca paused when she was halfway picking up some vegetables. They wanted to send her home, and


    now, they were asking about her love life. All they wanted to know was whether or not she was dating


    Luke.


    Luca did not want to lie to them. She had no ns of getting together with someone to put on a show


    either. She shook her head and said, "I''m swamped with work now. How can I possibly have the time to


    date someone?"


    "How can you not have time for that? Although work is important, dating is important too. Love can


    sweeten your life. You just have to find someone suitable who understands and supports your career.


    Previously, Jack was busy with work too when he was pursuing me. But I could understand him. That''s


    why he could bnce work and family very well." Queenie put down her spoon and held Luca''s hand.


    "Luca, a few outstanding single men are working at Mr. Norman''spany. Why don''t I introduce some


    of them to you? If there''s someone you like, Mr. Norman and I can fix you up with him. Women should


    date when they''re young. You can''t keep focusing on work only."


    Luca listened to her advice. Queenie was very concerned about her love life only because she was


    worried that Luca would interfere in Luke''s marriage.


    Queenie would certainly be worried if she rejected her offer.


    This was a big dilemma. Even though Luca felt ufortable with it, she still nodded and agreed to it.


    "Alright."


    “That''s wonderful." Queenie smiled with satisfaction as she helped Luca with the dishes. "Have some


    more. You''ve been working so hard."


    Luca ate quietly while feeling ufortable in her heart even though she was already aware that their


    purpose of inviting her over for dinner was because of Luke.


    However, they were doing it for her own good too.


    Luca ignored the feelings in her heart and apanied them to finish dinner.


    When they were about to finish dinner, Jack''s phone, which had been put aside, started ringing.


    Queenie asked him immediately, "Is it a message from your friend in New York?"


    Jack nced at his phone, nodded, and answered, "Yes, but he doesn''t have the time to look for


    Bianca yet. We have to wait until tomorrow."


    Luca looked at them. They were looking for Bianca?


    "Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, you''re—"


    Queenie nodded. She turned around, smiled at her, and exined to her, "Bianca, our daughter and


    Luke''s wife, has been in New York for quite some time now. She refuses toe back here. Besides,


    we can''t seem to contact her when we want to. That''s why we found a friend in New York to contact


    her. New Year is just around the corner, isn''t it? If she''s really noting back, Mr. Norman and I will


    go through the formalities here, then fly over to New York and spend the new year with her."


    Luca''s brows were slightly furrowed when she heard that.


    Luke had faked the news that Bianca was abroad. How could they possibly find her?


    "Do you know where she is?" Luca asked tentatively.


    Jack nodded and exined, "We received a parcel sent from abroadst month. It was from Bianca.


    There''s an address on the parcel. We reckon that Bianca must be staying there, so we asked someone


    to contact her. This child became foot-loose and fancy-free after losing her memory. She''s always


    traveling around, so it''s difficult for us to find her."


    Luca fell silent as she listened to Jack''s exnation.


    Should she tell Luke about this?


    If they found out that Bianca was not actually staying at the address and Luke did not take preventive


    measures in advance, how was he going to exin it to them at that time?


    If Luke told them that Bianca was dead, they would be heartbroken.


    Luca took a bite of white bread casually, deciding that she should tell Luke about this.


    She refused to see them grieving over her death.


    Luca asked their permission to leave after dinner.


    Mr. and Mrs. Norman did not make her stay.


    Jack arranged for his driver to send Luca home.


    When the driver asked for her home address, Luca told him the address of the apartment she used to


    stay at. The driver nodded, followed the navigation, and sent Luca to the apartment.


    “Ms. Luca, why don''t you open the door and let me send you in?" the driver said as he noticed that the


    residents would need an ess card to enter the residential area.


    "It''s alright. I can walk back home by myself. It''ste. You should get off work and get some rest." Luca


    insisted on getting out of the car here.


    The driver did not continue insisting to send her in. He opened the door and let her get out of the car.


    After Luca got out of the car, she headed toward the entrance of the residential area. Then, she swiped


    the card and walked into the neighborhood.


    Ever since Amur came back, she had been carrying the ess card with her so that it would be


    convenient for her toe back here.


    Luca turned around and saw the driver slowly reversing the car. She had made the right move by


    making it a habit to bring the ess card with her.


    The driver did not leave right away after she got out of the car. He wanted to see if she was really


    staying here. He only left after he saw her swipe the card and enter the area. He left after he was sure


    that she was staying here.


    Luca reckoned that he would report it to Jack. Then, Jack would ask someone to look into this


    apartment to see if it had anything to do with Luke.


    Luca shook her head helplessly when she thought of how her biological parents were suspicious of her.


    Although she understood why they did that, she still felt ufortable about it.


    Luca continued to walk toward the apartment, nning to talk to Amur for a while before heading back


    home.


    Luca got into the elevator and headed upstairs. When she opened the door, there was only darkness


    and dead silence in the apartment.


    "Amur?" Luca called out to him.


    No one answered.


    Luca turned on the lights and frowned when she saw the ashtray on the coffee table.


    There were many cigarette stubs in it. It seemed like Amur had smoked all these.


    Luca took out her phone and called Amur. The phone rang for a long while without anyone answering


    it.
