    Chapter 3326 A Son Could Be A Father''s Nemesis


    Luke was startled for a moment, feeling as though history was repeating itself.


    Luca covered her mouth,ughing so hard she could barely catch her breath. Everything felt too coincidental. Suddenly, Luca recalled that there was this saying, a son could be a father''s nemesis.


    Tommy had interrupted them twice today.


    Luke''s expression turned dark as he turned around to look at his son. "Why aren''t you in bed? What are you doing out here?"


    "Daddy, I just finished washing up. I really want a ss of water." Tommy then added, "The food at Crawford Manor was a bit salty this time, and I''m really thirsty."


    "I''ll get you some water," said Luca as she headed downstairs.


    Luke approached Tommy, looking down at him from above.


    Realizing he had spoiled his parents'' moment, Tommy gave a sheepish smile. "Daddy, I didn''t mean to."


    "From now on, make sure to get yourself a ss of water before bed and keep it in the bedroom. No more running out for water all the time," Luke said to his son with a serious expression.


    "Daddy, I really am thirsty, Tommy replied with a charming smile. "Oh, I promise I''ll go to bed right after I drink this. I won''t disturb you and Ms. Luca anymore."


    After that, he yfully stuck out his tongue.


    "Let this be thest time. Make sure you have the water ready before bed," added Luke, remembering this was already the second time.


    He suspected that his son had been eavesdropping at the door and came out intentionally when he heard something. However, that was just Luke''s suspicion. He had no concrete evidence.


    Luca brought a ss of water upstairs and saw the father and son standing at the top of the stairs. Luke was looking down at Tommy, while Tommy was looking up at Luke.


    It was like a negotiation, and she did not even need to guess what Luke had told Tommy.


    She smiled and squatted down in front of Tommy. "Here, drink some water."


    "Thank you, Ms. Luca!" Tommy took the ss and gulped it down.


    Luca exchanged a nce with Luke. It was clear the boy was really thirsty.


    After finishing most of the water, Tommy said, "Daddy, Ms. Luca, I''m going to bed now. Goodnight!"


    "Goodnight," Luca replied with a gentle smile.


    Luke watched as Tommy carried the ss into his bedroom and calmly said, "Looks like the kid was really thirsty."


    "Do you think he''d lie?" Luca asked with a smile on her face.


    Luke thought about how Tommy had lied thest time.


    However, since he had promised not to tell her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and walked into the bedroom. "Luca, just getting one moment of romance has be such a difficult task."


    Luca''s face instantly flushed red, and she gently punched his shoulder. However, she did not hit him too hard. Soon, the lovers were lost in each other''s embrace.


    In the Maldives, Nina and Percy had just finished dinner and were strolling along the beach.


    The sea breeze blew gently. She narrowed her eyes, feeling a pleasant sense of rxation wash over her. Her heart felt calm at peace. This was her second visit to the Maldives, but her mindset waspletely differ from the first time.


    "It''s so nice here," Nina wrapped her arm around Percy''s and eximed in a soft voice.


    "Yeah, if you like it, we cane here every year for vacation," replied Percy. He had no real concept of vacation. He could easily work year-round, every single day.


    However, if Nina liked this ce, he would make time to apany her.


    For him, it did not matter where they went. What mattered the most was having Nina by his side.


    "That would get boring! Once you have some free time, let''s try to explore other ces too. We can leave our mark everywhere we go." Nina rested her head gently on his shoulder.


    "Okay, whatever you say." Percy leaned down and nted a kiss on her forehead. "From now on, we''ll vacation every year, and each time, we''ll go somewhere new. You choose the destination, and I''ll take you there." "Sounds good." Nina smiled brightly.


    "I''m also taking you with me when I have business trips abroad," added Percy.


    "Great!" Nina''s smile widened.


    She did not think being close to Percy would be tiresome. In fact, she always wanted to stay close to him.


    Love was a beautiful thing, and she wanted to experience it every moment.


    "What about my domestic business trips? I''d love to take you along. After all, every city has its unique scenery, and I want to show you all of it." Percy expressed his love for Nina in the simplest way.


    He wanted her by his side as he gazed at the beautiful scenery.


    "Sure, but with all your business trips, I''m afraid Mr. Crawford might have an issue with that," replied Nina. Even if she had be Mrs. Mallory, she had no ns to quit her job and be a housewife.


    She did not want to bepletely dependent on Percy. Nina believed she should have her own career. Although she would not run a bigpany like Percy, having her own ie would give her more peace of mind. Plus, thepany belonged to Bianca.


    Even though Bianca could not remember much about her now, Nina secretly vowed to protect Bianca''s hard work.


    "I won''t let that happen. I''ll talk to him," said Percy. While he preferred Nina to be by his side, he also did not mind her having her own career.


    Nina nodded in agreement.


    At that moment, a foreign tourist approached them.


    The tourist asked, "Hi, are you two a couple?"


    Percy lifted Nina''s hand, showing off their wedding rings. "We''re married."


    "That''s amazing! You two are deeply in love, aren''t you?"


    "Yes, we''re deeply in love with each other." Nina smiled sweetly. Then, she nced at Percy, who was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and their smiles grew even sweeter.


    "Oh, that''s so cool! Are you on your honeymoon?"


    "Yes." Percy nodded.


    He was not fond of talking to strangers, but the people they encountered this time seemed friendly, so he feltfortable chatting a bit.


    "Congrattions!" said the tourist. Then, he lifted his camera. "I''m a photographer, and I came to the Maldives to work on my creative project. Here''s my business card."


    As he handed his card to Percy and Nina, he added, "The theme of my project is love. I think you two have a great vibe, and you two look so in love. Would you let me take a few photos of you?


    "We can do it right here on this beach? It won''t take up too much of your time, I promise," the photographer reassured them, worried they might decline.


    Nina turned to look at Percy. He was looking back at her. "Would you like to?"


    "I do," Nina said. They loved each other, so why not let the photographer capture this moment?


    Percy replied, "Sure."


    "Great! Just be yourselves and do some little things together. I''ll just capture the moments as they happen." The photographer emphasized the importance of authenticity, so there would be noplex lighting setups like in a


    studio.


    The natural beauty around them was the most stunning sight.


    Percy turned slightly and cradled Nina''s face in his hands.


    "Hmm?" She suddenly realized what he was about to do and felt her cheeks flush.


    Nina wanted to tell him that there was someone taking photos of them. Percy did not wait for her to speak,


    though. He leaned down and kissed her deeply.


    "Wow, that''s beautiful!" eximed the photographer, snapping shots from various angles.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    He had seen many couples, but this newlywed pair was undeniably in love.


    The photographer kept clicking the shutter.


    Once the kiss ended, Nina breathed heavily, her gaze fixed on Percy. While a flicker of annoyance danced in her


    eyes, it was overshadowed by a deeper, more profound love.
