“She said that Mother was looking for me." Yuri did not try to hide it.


    Louis had a pensive look on his face but immediately went back to greeting guests with a smile when


    he noticed them walking toward him.


    Yuri was keeping an eye on Margaret while standing beside Louis.


    Margaret''s eyes were bloodshot as she stood in the corner without talking to anyone.


    After a while, Yuri noticed that her expression instantly changed when she nced at her phone and


    left in a hurry.


    Yuri said to Louis, "Mrs. Jackman left."


    Louis walked toward the door and saw Margaret leaving before whispering, "Did you tell her?"


    "What are you talking about? I''ve been with you the entire time, so how could I have talked to her?"


    Yuri denied.


    She just wanted to save Margaret some face and not let Luke cause trouble in her house.


    Besides, this was their new home, and they just moved in today. How could they let the policee


    over?


    Louis did not say a word.


    On the other hand...


    Luke brought Luca and the children back home. When Aunt Neile saw that they came back so soon,


    she asked out of curiosity, "Ms. Craw, why are you back so early? Has Mr. Louis'' party ended?"


    "Almost," said Luke before looking toward Luca. "Go up first."


    "Alright." Luca nodded and took Tommy and Rainie upstairs with Lanie following behind them.


    "Mr. Crawford, what happened?" Aunt Neile noticed Luke''s unusual expression as if something had


    angered him earlier.


    Luke was usually rather cold at home, so he seldom showed any expression to the maids. He never


    got angry too.


    "It''s nothing. If someonees overter, don''t open the door and inform me first," Luke went upstairs


    after he finished speaking.


    Luca sat in the living room upstairs with the three children, and Rainie carried the first aid kit to Luca.


    After hearing footsteps, Luca and the kids looked toward the stairs.


    “Daddy, you can help Ms. Luca apply medication," said Rainie as she walked toward him with the first-


    aid kit.


    Luke walked over and Tommy sensibly made space for him.


    Luca shook her head and said, "I''ve already applied medication, but they won''t listen and asked me to


    apply it again."


    Lanie even offered to help her take care of her wound earlier.


    She said that she had already applied an ointment for burns at Louis'' house, but the kids were still


    worried and insisted on applying the ointment for her.


    "They''re worried about you. Let me see the wound," said Luke as he patted her thigh after sitting down.


    Luca was embarrassed to do so in front of the kids, so she shook her head. "It''s fine, it''s just blistering.


    It''ll go away on its own."

    She refused to move her leg, so Luke lifted her foot up and carefully examined her burnt ankle.


    Just like she said, there were blisters.


    Luke frowned as little clusters of blisters formed on the reddened area. "Are you sure you don''t need to


    go to the hospital?"


    "They''re just blisters. They''ll fade on their own, so there''s no need to go to the hospital." Luca felt that it


    would be too much of a hassle to go to the hospital for such a small injury.


    "..." Luke frowned while staring at her wound.


    "Daddy, the blisters will disappear on their own," said Lanie while ncing at Luca''s ankle as he had


    read about how to deal with minor burns in a medical encyclopedia before.


    The content in the book was exactly as Luca said.


    "Alright." Luke took out the ointment and applied anotheryer of it for her.


    Luca blushed as she watched Luke use a cotton swab to gently apply the ointment on her ankle as if


    he was trying to lessen her pain.


    It was an intimate touch.


    Not to mention, she was even more embarrassed with the kids surrounding her.


    "Daddy, you don''t have to apply it in such a thickyer." Lanie watched Luke apply the ointment


    carefully and reminded him when he applied too much.


    Luke stopped and put Luca''s foot down before bending down to help her put her shoes on until he


    heard her say, "I''ll do it myself."


    Luke raised his eyebrows, but he still let her do it herself.


    Luca put on her shoes.


    "Daddy, I''ll go to my room to read," said Lanie, relieved that nothing bad happened.


    "Alright," Luke agreed. They were supposed to have extracurricr sses today, but he asked for


    leave because of Louis'' party, so now, they did not have anything to do.


    "Then I''ll go read too!" Rainie said with a smile. She took Tommy''s hand and blinked. "Tommy, do you


    want to go read in the room?"


    "Sure!" Tommy knew what that look meant, so he followed Rainie away while skipping.


    They were good kids, and they knew when to let their parents have alone time.


    Only Luca and Luke were left in the second-floor living room.


    Luca took the ointment he left on the coffee table and kept it in the first-aid kit.


    Luke looked at her and smiled with his eyes.


    Then, the doorbell rang.


    Luca was about to go see who it was, but Luke stood up and said, "I''ll go and see."


    He walked to the videophone on the second floor and pressed a button to see that Nina was standing


    at the front door. He pressed the button to open the door and turned to tell Luca, "It''s Nina."


    "Nina? I''ll go downstairs and have a look," said Luca. She remembered Nina saying that she had a


    party to attend today, but she did not see her at Louis'' house just now, so she thought that Nina had


    attended another party with Percy. She did not expect her toe over.


    "Be careful not to aggravate your ankle," warned Luke. Percy was not with Nina outside, so he did not


    intend on going downstairs.


    "Okay." Luca walked down to the first floor and saw Nina walking in at the same time.


    "Nina, why are you here? Don''t you have a party to go to?" she asked curiously.


    "It''s right next door, and I didn''t see you. I found out that you left after asking around, so I came to have


    a chat with you. Am I not wee?" Nina smiled.


    Everyone in A City knew that she had already registered her marriage with Percy, and all that was left


    was the ceremony.


    People had already started calling her Mrs. Mallory.


    However, Nina knew that they did not mean it and that they secretly still looked down on her.


    She was not worthy of Percy because of her identity and her background.


    Some people even spread rumors on the inte that Percy only chose her because she had dirt on


    him, so he was forced to marry her.


    Some even more outrageous rumors said that she used ck magic on Percy. Otherwise, there was


    no way an ordinary girl like her could have Percy''s devotion.


    Nina did not care about these rumors.


    However, she did not wish to face those hypocrites, so she left Percy and came over here the moment


    Louis told her that Luca went back home.
