Old Master Mallory heard that Old Master Crawford had long kicked out another daughter-inw. Now,


    he was the only one in the big Crawford Manor, but he did not feel lonely. Instead, he was enjoying his


    time.


    Old Master Mallory thought that maybe if Karen moved out too, he could be at peace without her


    bothering him. Hence, he decided to take this opportunity to ask Karen to move out.


    His idea of living together as a big family had undergone a change over time due to the constant


    whirlwind of affairs within the family.


    Karen tightly pursed her lips as she watched Old Master Mallory leave from behind. Even when Mr.


    Be returned, she still stood there with a defiant look.


    Mr. Be sighed and said, "Madam, you should rest early."


    "How can I rest?" Karen red at him, thinking about the humiliation she endured at Crawford Manor


    and the incident with Nina.


    Even though she pped that woman''s face, she felt embarrassed to be escorted out of the


    neighborhood by the security team. She was even cklisted.


    Upon returning home, she got scolded by Old Master Mallory. He was even making her apologize to


    the Crawford family tomorrow and move out immediately.


    Karen wanted to vent her anger on Mr. Be, but considering he was close to Old Master Mallory, it


    would be like venting on the old master himself. She dared not to do so...


    It was not that she did not have the guts, but Pierre''s current situation required Old Master Mallory''s


    involvement. Offending the old master would not only harm her but also bring misfortune to Pierre.


    "Madam, given the circumstances, you can only follow Old Master Mallory''s arrangements. The vi he


    assigned for you on Blossom Avenue is ready with the necessary items. You only have to pack some


    clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics.


    "If you find it troublesome, the maid will help you tomorrow," said Mr. Be. He understood that Karen


    was angry, but he was helpless about it.


    This matter made Old Master Mallory even angrier, as he had lost face in front of his old friends.


    Ever since Pierre provoked Luke, Old Master Mallory had only been losing face in front of Old Master


    Crawford. Despite the cheerful banter among old friends, there was still a sense of rivalry.


    Old Master Mallory had never managed to regain his dignity, and Karen had even repeatedly tarnished


    his reputation.


    Therefore, Mr. Be could understand the old master''s anger and could not speak up for Karen.


    "Hmph, Blossom Avenue? Looks like Old Master Mallory can''t wait for me to get as far away as


    possible!" Karen narrowed her eyes menacingly.


    The vi on Blossom Avenue was not bad, but it was far from Mallory Manor.


    Even though both were in A City, driving from Mallory Manor to the vi on Blossom Avenue would take


    at least 40 minutes. Karen knew well what those 40 minutes meant.


    If it were not for the fear of gossip, Old Master Mallory might have arranged for her to stay on the


    outskirts.


    "Please don''t misunderstand, Madam. The vi on Blossom Avenue is newly renovated, and the style


    is to your liking. He thought you''d be happier living there. That''s why he made this arrangement," Mr.


    Be spoke up for the old master.


    Karen refused to believe what he said. She let out a cold snort and replied, "Summon my maid."


    At this time, the maid had already finished work for the day, but for the convenience of taking care of


    the house, both the maid and the butler stayed here.


    As Mr. Be watched Karen go upstairs, he shook his head helplessly. She was quite a handful...


    "Yes, Madam." Even though he thought she was troublesome, Mr. Be could not openly criticize her


    actions.


    Even in front of Old Master Mallory, he had to be cautious when serving him.


    Luke, done with his tasks at T Corporation, returned to the vi. It was already midnight.


    The lights were still on in the vi. He knew it was Luca who left them on for him, a gesture that had


    never changed in the past.


    Whenever he returnedte, she would keep the lights on.


    Luke felt a warm sensation in his chest. He wished he could rush to Luca''s side immediately and hold


    her in his arms, easing the tiredness in his body.


    As he entered the living room, he noticed Nina sitting on the couch. He could not help but raise an


    eyebrow and ask, "You''re not asleep at this hour?"


    When Luca nned for Nina to stay here, she had informed him in advance, so her presence was not


    surprising. What surprised him was that it was already midnight, and Nina was still sitting in the living


    room.


    "Luca said you were working overtime, and I was waiting for you specifically," Nina replied in a soft


    voice. It was to amodate the swelling on her face and to avoid waking up anyone upstairs.


    Even though the soundproofing in the vi was excellent, she was currently a guest. That was why she


    was mindful of such things.


    She would try not to cause trouble.


    "Is there something you want to talk about?" Luke adjusted his tie. Even though she had not brought up


    a topic yet, he had a general idea of what she might say.


    "Please don''t tell Percy about this," answered Nina.


    Luke nodded. He had no intention of getting involved in women''s affairs.


    He took Nina in because he promised Percy. As long as Nina could stay peacefully here while Percy


    was on his business trip, other matters were not his concern.


    His promise was within Nina''s expectations, and she continued, "Does Luca have another identity?"

    "No," Luke denied. Deep down, he could not help but wonder if the kids identally let something slip,


    leading to Nina''s suspicion.


    "I have this inexplicable sense of familiarity with her. If you know anything, you can tell me. I promise I


    won''t tell anyone about it." Nina sounded like she wanted to know something.


    "There''s nothing like that. It''s gettingte. Rest early." Luke nced at the time. It was 12:05 in the


    morning. He quickly took a shower, and by 12:30, he should be able to fall asleep with Luca in his


    arms.


    He cherished the time spent sleeping with her.


    Luke ended the conversation, and Nina slightly parted her lips, as though she had something to say.


    However, she hesitated. As she watched him make his way up the stairs, she shook her head


    helplessly and headed upstairs too.


    When they reached the second floor, they went to different rooms—one on the left and one on the right.


    After Luke finished taking a shower in the bedroom across the room, he returned to the master


    bedroom. He initially did not want to disturb Luca, but she was a light sleeper. The moment he got into


    bed, she woke up before he could lie down.


    "Luke?" Luca''s voice carried a hint of drowsiness and sleepiness.


    "Yes, it''s me. Go back to sleep." Lukey down, pulling her into his arms.


    Luca found afortable sleeping position in his arms and closed her eyes. Then, she heard him ask,


    "Did the kids identally spill the beans in front of Nina today?"


    "What do you mean by spilling the beans?" Luca, feeling drowsy, did not immediately grasp the


    situation. After asking for rification, she understood what Luke meant and added, "The kids are


    clever. They didn''t say anything."
