    Chapter 3353 Leave My Child Alone


    At the same time, a wave of frustration rose in Luca''s heart.


    She thought about how Sophian might be eavesdropping on them during their rest time, standing by the door anytime, anywhere. The thought made her feel uneasy, as though she were being watched by Abel. No matter how she thought about it, something just did not sit right.


    Luca asked in a soft voice, "Do you think it''s possible that Sophian is working for Abel?"


    Luke paused for a moment. He had no reason to doubt Sophian''s background as Old Master Crawford had investigated her, and everything checked out. However, people like Abel could easily fabricate a perfect cover story if they wanted to.


    Luke opened the bedroom door. By now, Sophian was no longer standing outside. He closed the door again and locked it. "I''m not sure, but if we have doubts, we need to be cautious."N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Luca frowned, her expression showing clear concem. "If she were just an ordinary person, that''d be fine. But if she''s with Abel, that''d be terrifying."


    If Abel had someone nted around Allison, there was a high probability that he had others ced around them as well.


    These people appeared to be ordinary, and unless they were exposed, she and Luke could live their entire lives without anyone suspecting anything.


    A chill ran down Luca''s spine at the thought of it, and she hurriedly grabbed Luke''s phone.


    "What''s wrong?" asked Luke, noticing her anxiety.


    "I''m really scared. Please check if there are any surveince or listening devices on the second floor." Luca handed him the phone.


    Luke was about to reassure her that Sophian was not capable of such things, but he decided to follow her wishes and opened the detection app.


    Luca turned off her own phone, afraid it might interfere with the scan.


    Luke expanded the detection range to cover the entire second floor but found no signs of surveince equipment. Luca let out a sigh of relief. "Good, there''s nothing."


    She was afraid that Sophian might have installed cameras or listening devices around the house.


    "Don''t worry. I''ll check every night from now on." Luke knew her concerns.


    Luca nodded and went to rest with him.


    Downstairs, Sophiany on the bed, tossing and turning. She was unable to sleep.


    She thought of the tenderness Luke showed Luca, then contrasted it with his cold attitude toward her. It made her stomach chum with frustration.


    "Why?" Sophian muttered to herself. "What makes her better than me? Why is he ignoring me like this?"


    No one answered her in the darkness.


    The following day, Sophian woke up to the sound of her rm clock. She tumed it off and tried to roll over and sleep a little longer.


    Sophian did not know how much time passed, but she suddenly opened her eyes and remembered that she was


    now a maid at the Crawford family''s house. She had to get up early to make breakfast for Luke!


    "Oh no!" Sophian sat up and nced at the time. She immediately got dressed and washed up. As she was leaving the maid''s room, she ran into Luke and Lucaing downstairs.


    The two of them were walking side-by-side, chatting andughing. The moment they saw her, their conversation abruptly stopped.


    Sophian wanted nothing more than to pull them apart.


    However, she dared not to do that. Instead, she put on an expression as though she had been greatly wronged and said in a soft voice, "Mr. Crawford, you''re up. Please wait a moment, I''ll make breakfast for you."


    Luke''s expression was serious. "It''s thiste and breakfast still isn''t ready?"


    "I just started working yesterday. I''m not used to it yet, but I''ll make it now." Sophian thought with excitement as she hurried into the kitchen to prepare. The thought of Luke having the breakfast she made made her heart flutter.


    Luca looked at Luke, who simply took her hand and led her away.


    Sophian was so focused on preparing breakfast that she did not even notice them leaving. When she brought the meal to the dining room, there was no one there. She froze for a moment.


    Then, she walked to the living room, but there was still no one.


    She thought Luke must have gone upstairs, so she checked. However, no one was there.


    She stood there, stunned for a moment.


    Where had Luke gone?


    Had he already left?


    Thinking of how Luca had acted earlier, she slumped onto the couch in despair.


    Sophian clenched her fists in anger. It must have been Luca!


    Luca must have worried that Luke would be impressed by her cooking and took him away!


    The thought made Sophian even angrier.


    ''Luca, you think you''re all that? One day, I''m gonna be Luke''s woman, and you''ll be the one left behind! Sophian silently vowed in her heart.


    After leaving the vi, Luke and Luca went to a nearby breakfast shop. When the food was served, Luca quietly observed his expression.


    Luke did not like eating food from outside, so Luca wanted to keep an eye on his reaction. If he did not like it, they would note back here tomorrow.


    Sophian''s issue seemed like it would take a while to resolve, so they would be eating out for the time being.


    Luca only wanted to find a breakfast ce that Luke would enjoy.


    Breakfast was the foundation of the day. After a good meal, they would be more energized for work.


    "Why are you looking at me like that?" Luke asked with a faint smile.


    "I''m trying to figure out whether you like the breakfast served here by looking at your face," replied Luca. "If you like it, we''ll eat here for the next few days, try everything on the menu, and then switch things up. If you don''t, we''ll go somewhere else."


    Luke took a sip of the soy milk. It was not as good as the one Luca and Aunt Neile made, but it was quite decentpared to other ces.


    Luke nodded. "This breakfast is fine. Let''s eat here for the next few days."


    "Great, then we''ll eat here for the next few days." Luca nodded. She figured that if they tried everything on the menu, they could eat here for several days. As for what to eat after that, she would need to do some research


    online.


    She would have to find more good spots around here or near T Corporation''s office building.


    After breakfast, Luke dropped Luca off at her office at Watson.


    As soon as she entered her office, her phone rang. Luca nced at the caller ID and froze for a moment. It was a string of random characters, which indicated a call from Abel.


    After a moment''s hesitation, Luca answered.


    "Where are you now?" asked Abel.


    "I''m at Watson," replied Luca.


    Abel''s voice turnedmanding. "Come to mypany now."


    Luca furrowed her brows. Her gut told her that Abel''s call could not mean anything good. Even if she went to hispany, it was likely to be trouble.


    "Luca, haven''t I given you enough freedomtely?" interrupted Abel, "Do you need me to do something for you to listen to me?" He reminded her, "Your daughter''s birthday ising up, right? How old is she now? Oh, I remember. She should be starting training tasks at her age."


    Luca''s heart tightened. He was using her child to threaten her.


    Little N, her precious N.


    Abel continued, "Do you think a young child like that can survive a training mission on the Ind of Despair without the protection of her parents?"


    "Leave my child alone." Luca''s voice was firm, not hiding how much she valued her daughter. "Give me some time. I''ll be there right away."


    "I''m giving you an hour. If you''re not here in an hour, every minutete means your child will undergo one extra


    day of training." Abel hung up the phone.


    Luca looked at the time, took off herb coat, and left the office.
