Luke got out of bed lightly to not wake Luca.


    However, while he was washing up in the bathroom, Luca opened her eyes when she heard the sound


    of water.


    She picked up the phone on the bedside table, nced at the time, and then put the phone down.


    It was still early.


    Luca remembered that she had promised to prepare breakfast for the children, so she immediately sat


    up.


    The difort came instantly.


    Even the previous time when Luke was drugged, he seemed to have restrained himself and did not go


    too far.


    However, this time, Luke was in a sober state but acted recklessly with her. She could not say no and


    eventually fell asleep.


    She did not know when she fell asleep, but when she opened her eyes, the sun had already risen.


    Luca looked out the window. Although there was a day curtain to block it, the faint sunlight that shone


    into the room showed that the weather was great.


    After a few days of snow, they finally got a day of good weather.


    Luke came out of the bathroom. He stepped forward and nted a wet kiss on her forehead when he


    saw that she had sat up. "Did I wake you up?"


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    His wet lips pressed against her forehead, causing her to feel a scorching heat.


    Luca shook her head and said, "It''s about time to wake up anyway."


    "Sleep for a little longer." Luke did not forget the passionate night that they shared. As she used to say,


    all her strength was exhausted.


    "I''d better get up. I can''t sleep anymore." Luca shook her head, her feet feeling weak the moment she


    stood up.


    Luke had expected it and immediately supported her.


    Luca looked at Luke helplessly. His intemperance from the night prior made her body feel sore and


    weak...


    "Sit down." Luke helped her sit on the edge of the bed.


    Luca rubbed her sore waist and said, "It''s gettingte. I promised to make breakfast for the kids today."


    "They''ll understand if you can''t cook for them," Luke said. He did not want to overwork Luca.


    Luca shook her head and insisted. "I made a promise to them, so I have to do it. Let me try to take a


    few steps. I''ll get used to it."


    Luke frowned and did not make a move.


    Seeing this, Luca stood up by holding onto the bedside table. Her hands were on her waist as she


    slowly took several steps forward. After getting used to the difort in her body, she slowly paced to


    the bathroom and closed the door.


    Luke could not do anything with Luca''s stubbornness. She had always been stubborn since he met her.


    All he wanted was for her to rest more.


    However, just because she had promised the children and did not want to disappoint them, she insisted


    on getting up and even refused to let him help.


    Luke was a little jealous of the kids.


    Luca cared about their children more than she did about him.


    Luke stood up, opened the closet, grabbed a change of clothes for Luca, and walked out of the


    bedroom.


    He saw Tommy squatting beside their door after he opened it. He was reading a book without bothering


    them.


    When he heard the door open, he looked up at Luke and asked, "Daddy, is Ms. Luca awake?"


    "She''s awake. Why did you get up so early?" Luke knew his son was waiting for Luca instead of him


    when he saw Tommy squatting in front of their door.


    However, Luke was surprised that Tommy did not storm into the bedroom as soon as he woke up.


    "I''m waiting for Ms. Luca," Tommy said as he nced at the bedroom. He saw no one around and


    asked, "Where''s Ms. Luca?"


    "She''s washing up in the bathroom. What time did you get up?" Luke looked at his son. Even if it was


    for school, Tommy would never be up this early.


    Although the kids were responsible, each of them had difficulty getting out of bed. In the past, the


    nanny had to set at least two rm clocks for them.


    They would not get up until the second rm went off.


    During the holidays, they would sleep for half an hour more than usual. He also set a rule that the kids


    were allowed to get upte, but they could only get up an hourter than usual.


    The children epted his rules.


    "I got up not long ago." Tommy turned his head sideways. He had a nightmarest night that Luca left


    them without a second thought. As such, he woke up early and waited there.


    Luca walked out of the bathroom and heard Tommy''s voice. She looked toward the door and said,


    "Tommy?"


    "Ms. Luca!" Tommy closed the book he was reading and ran straight to her. "Ms. Luca! I''m so d that


    you''re still here. I thought Daddy lied to me!"


    Luke stood at the door and had a lot of questions when he saw their son holding Luca''s hand. "What


    did I lie to you about?"


    Luca looked at Tommy with confusion. ''What did Luke lie to him about?''


    "I dreamt that Ms. Luca left usst night. I thought Daddy was lying to me..." Tommy exined,


    disgruntled.


    "..." Luke was left speechless. Those who did not know the context might think that he had done


    something to Tommy.


    Luca''s heart throbbed when she heard what Tommy said, but she still pretended to be calm and


    comforted him, saying, "Tommy dear, I didn''t leave. Dreams and reality are the opposite."


    "I was scared, so I squatted at the door waiting for you as soon as I woke up." Tommy pouted


    aggrievedly, and there were tears in his eyes.


    Luca could not help but feel distressed when she saw his expression. ''He''s insecure.''


    When he was younger, she did everything she could to take care of him, but she did not expect to be


    kidnapped when he could start remembering things. That affected him and made him more sensitive


    and fragile.


    Luca changed the subject as she did not want Tommy to think of such an ominous dream. "Have you


    washed your face?"


    Tommy sniffed his nose and shook his head.


    He was in front of the master bedroom as soon as he woke up but did not go in. He was worried that he


    would affect their rest.


    "Go wash your face and brush your teeth. I''ll go downstairs and make you a delicious breakfast," Luca


    said.


    "Okay." Tommy pressed his face against the back of Luca''s hand to feel her body temperature. When


    he confirmed that she was indeed there, he slowly released her hand and returned to his bedroom.


    Luke watched as Tommy walked into the bedroom before he looked at Luca.


    Luca picked up the clothes on the side, smiled at Luke, and said, "I''m going to change before I go


    downstairs to make breakfast."


    "Okay," Luke said with a low voice.


    What Tommy said made his heart feel heavy.


    If he could not resolve Luca''s matter, she would be forced to leave at any time and there were great


    unknowns about what would happen in the future.


    He had to move faster.


    After Luca changed her clothes, she walked out of the bathroom and found that Luke was no longer in


    the bedroom.


    She walked out of the bedroom door and noticed Luke standing on the balcony. It seemed like he was


    smoking...


    Luca stared at his back for a few seconds before she looked back. She took the elevator to the first


    floor because her body was weak and sore. She bumped into Nina just as she was about to walk into


    the kitchen.


    "Nina, why did you get up so early?"


    "I slept earlyst night. Are you going to prepare breakfast yourself today?" Nina was in a good mood.


    The corners of her mouth could not help but rise into a smile when she spoke.
