Matysh''s brows furrowed out of impatience after listening to the driver''s exnation.


    It was too long-winded and troublesome. How could he get Luca fast with that kind of progress?


    The driver noticed that he looked upset as he did not say a word. He knew that Matysh''s anger had not


    calmed down, but there was nothing he could do anyway.


    The neighborhood in front of him was an A-list neighborhood, and a lot of effort had been put into its


    security system. They would get caught if they were to break in. He was not that foolish.


    “Mr. Matysh, let''s go back first. Usually, the woman would note out again after returning home,"


    said the driver.


    Matysh stared at him fiercely. "If you knew that she wouldn''te out after going in, why didn''t you


    stop her?"


    "For the sake of your life and hers. As I''ve said before, if you want to get the woman in one piece, be


    patient. We need a detailed n to do so.


    Luca let out a sigh of relief after driving into the neighborhood.


    Those people would not be able to follow her after she entered, so her tense nerves instantly rxed.


    She was not afraid of anything, but her driving skills were not great. If the other party were to stop her


    abruptly, she would have no way to fight back. Not to mention, the road was slippery, so there would be


    a high risk of danger.


    Luca returned to the mansion, parked the car, and walked into the house.


    Coincidentally, Nina came out of the kitchen too. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Lucae


    back. Nina stood there for a while as she looked her up and down.


    "Is there something on my face?" Luca took off her coat. She was ufortable being stared at, so


    she subconsciously wiped her face with the back of her hand.


    "No." Nina shook her head while her gaze was still locked on her face. "Luca, you look pale. Are you


    not feeling well?"


    Luca shook her head. Nina did not pay much attention to these matters, so she could not tell Nina that


    she was being followed earlier.

    Plus, she did not know whether it was Matysh or Pierre''s people...


    If it was Matysh who was after her, Nina would not be involved. But if it was Pierre, Nina would be


    worried and feel guilty if she found out.


    “But you look so pale. If you''re not sick, did you encounter something on your way back?" Nina


    continued to ask out of concern as she knew that the Mallory family would not stop there.


    Although Old Master Crawford had already exined that he would protect her, if the Mallory family


    were to take revenge, they mighty a finger on Luca when she was least expecting it.


    Nina was not willing to see Luca get hurt because of her.


    "No, it''s just too cold outside." Luca shook her head and forced a smile to keep her from worrying.


    Nina saw that she refused to say anything and decided not to continue pestering her about it. "I''ll pour


    you a ss of warm water to warm up your body."


    "Thank you," Luca thanked her as she did need a ss of water to calm herself down. Besides, the


    kids knew how to read people''s faces. If they saw her in her current state, they would be worried.


    She walked into the living room to see the three kids doing their homework.


    After hearing footsteps, the three children turned around to see that it was her. They all greeted, "Ms.


    Luca, you''re back!"


    "Yes, are you all doing your homework? Good job." Luca did note too close in order to not let the


    kids notice her paleplexion.


    "Yup." Tommy nodded and turned to continue doing his homework.


    Rainie examined Luca''s face and noticed her paleplexion. "Ms. Luca, are you okay?"


    "I''m okay. It''s just a little cold outside, and I didn''t wear enough today. Hurry up and finish your


    homework," Luca coaxed the child.


    Rainie nodded.


    Before Luca walked into the kitchen, Nina brought a warm cup of water for her. "Quick, drink some


    warm water to warm up."


    "Thank you." Luca took a sip of hot tea. Her body warmed up, and she calmed herself down.


    "Is there really nothing wrong?" Nina whispered.


    Luca shook her head and looked back at the children.


    Rainie looked at her worriedly...


    "I''m fine, Nina. Can you watch the children? I need to go upstairs and carry out some experiments,"


    said Luca as she used experiments as an excuse to avoid having them worry about her.


    "Okay.." Nina agreed. She watched her walk upstairs until she disappeared from her sight and sat


    down on the couch.


    Rainie looked up at Nina. "Ms. Nina, is Ms. Luca okay?"


    "She was just too cold. Don''t think too much about it." Nina smiled and patted her head. "Finish your


    homework. She''lle down when you''re done."


    Rainie shook her head. "Let''s not have here down. She seems to be in bad shape. Ms. Nina, you


    can help us check our homework instead?"


    Tommy looked up at Rainie and tried to recall how Luca looked just now. Was it that bad?


    Why did he not notice?


    Nina saw the curiosity in the child''s eyes and gently patted his shoulder. "Come on, finish your


    homework. You don''t want me to point out your mistakester, do you?"


    “Ms. Nina, you''re not going to find my mistakes." Tommy stuck out his tongue at her and continued


    doing his homework.


    Upstairs.


    Luca sat in the study, staring at the samples in a daze.


    Should she tell Luke what she encountered just now?


    It would be better if she did...


    After Luke came back from his business trip, he seemed like apletely different person. Luca had a


    feeling that she would be entangled with Luke if she did not leave here one day.


    Therefore, she still had to tell him what happened.


    Besides, he had a lot of connections. If something were to happen in the future, it would be easier to


    deal with if he was aware of it.


    The moment Luca made up her mind, she frowned again.


    Luke seemed like he cared a lot about her.


    If he knew about this, would he be overly worried?


    She did not want to see Luke worry because of her.


    Luca had been sitting in her study. She said she was going to do experiments, but she had not been


    doing anything.


    Only after Aunt Neile knocked on her door to inform her that dinner was ready did shee back to


    her senses and stand up to open the door.


    "Aunt Neile, is Mr. Crawford back?" she asked as she walked out of her study.


    "Mr. Crawford is back. He said that he''d be back for dinner today, so he''s having dinner right now,"


    exined Aunt Neile.


    "Oh, okay.." Luca hesitated for an hour, yet she had not made up her mind. Hence, she decided to wait


    until after dinner.


    After heading downstairs with Aunt Neile, she saw that the kids and Nina were no longer in the living


    room. She guessed that they were all in the dining room.


    Luca walked into the dining room, and as expected, everyone was already seated there.


    "Ms. Craw, have a seat. I''ll bring out the dishes," said Aunt Neile.


    Luca nodded. The only empty seat left at the table was next to Luke, so she went over and sat down.


    Tommy was the only one who was noisy at the dinner table.


    "Ms. Luca, what were you doing just now?" The moment Luca sat down, Tommy grabbed her sleeve


    and asked while pouting.


    "I was doing experiments. What''s wrong?" Luca could feel that Luke was looking at her, so she looked


    down to divert her attention.
