Chapter 1195 Stop Thinking of Him
"Not bad," Luca said after being stunned for a few seconds.
She was not planning to be romantically involved with anyone in the office anyway. The new rule would not affect her.
When Luke heard her nonchalant response, he stepped on the gas pedal harder.
Luca could feel the car travel faster, but she did not gasp or exclaim in surprise. She sat there calmly, as though she was used to traveling at this speed.
The car was traveling on the open road, and traffic was very light. Luca was not worried that Luke might rear-end another car, so she managed to keep calm.
She knew that Luke was a skilled driver.
Luke stopped his car outside Luca's neighborhood.
After the car came to a complete stop, Luca unfastened her seatbelt and said to him, "You're a skilled driver, Mr. Crawford."
She opened the door and stepped out of the car.
Luke raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you inviting me to go upstairs?"
Luca was taken aback, not expecting Luke to say that. When she came to her senses, she said, "That's not very convenient." 'Not very convenient?'
Luke was not sure why he was not very happy when he heard that. Perhaps it was because it was the first time that someone had refused his request.
He unfastened his seatbelt. When he opened the car door, he heard a masculine voice saying, "You're back."
Luke stepped out of the car and saw a young man standing next to Luca. He turned to face Luca as though waiting for her to introduce that man.
Luca did not expect to meet Amur downstairs. She smiled awkwardly and said, "It's you. Why did you come back so late?"
Half an hour ago, Amur was in the supermarket. What took him so long?
"I bought quite a lot of things." Amur stared at Luke. From afar, he saw Luca step out of that man's car.
He recognized who that man was. He was Luca's husband...
Amur smiled as he looked at Luca. "Who is he?" "He's Mr. Crawford, the CEO of my company.” The two men were looking at her, and she had no choice but to introduce each other. "Mr. Crawford, this is Amur, my younger brother." "You two don't look alike at all." Luke turned away from Amur. He did not like that young man's face.
He hated it even more when he saw how Amur was gazing at Luca with his bright blue eyes.
"We have different mothers, so we don't look alike." Luca had already prepared an excuse.
Amur wanted to say something, but when he heard Luca say that, he could only say, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford. Thank you for sending my elder sister home."
From Amur's tone, Luke could sense that he was very possessive of Luca, and that had irked him greatly.
It felt as though Luca had stabbed his heart with a thorn, and Amur had pulled it out abruptly.
"You're welcome." Luke glanced at Luca once more before going back into his car, closing the door, and driving away.
Luca breathed a sigh of relief. She saw that Amur was carrying two shopping bags, so she took one from him, and the both of them headed toward the apartment.
Luca turned around to look, but Luke's car had disappeared from view. She asked Amur, "What did you buy today that took you so long?"
The supermarket was only a five-minute walk from the apartment.
"I bought everything that you told me to, but I'm not too good at judging the freshness of the food," Amur explained.
"Next time, just leave it to me." Luca shook her head. They stood in front of the elevator and waited for it to come.
"I don't have anything to do at home. Let me at least help you with the groceries," Amur said.
Seeing that Amur was quite determined, Luca could only nod.
Amur took a closer look at Luca's delicate face, thought for a while, and said, "That man earlier..." "We'll talk when we get home,” Luca interjected.
Amur kept quiet. They stepped into their elevator one after the other and returned to the apartment.
Luca took the shopping bag into the kitchen. Amur quickly followed behind her and asked her, "That man earlier, is he your husband?" "Mm." Luca was taken aback by the question, though she nodded.
Legally, Luke was indeed her husband.
Even though she had changed her appearance and identity, her DNA did not change. It did not matter if no one could recognize her, her DNA would not lie.
"Have you told him?" Amur asked.
"That's impossible..." Luca felt her heart skip a beat when she heard that question.
She had thought of telling Luke the truth, but she could not bring herself to do it.
"You still love him..." Amur could see the anguish in her eyes.
Amur could tell that Luca was only pretending not to care about Luke.
After all, the siblings were the closest people to her for the past three years.
"I'm going to cook, Amur. The kitchen is quite cramped, so you should go out." Luca felt a blunt pain in her heart when Amur correctly guessed her feelings. She did not want Amur to see her in agony.
Amur put the shopping bag on the kitchen counter. He could see that she was frowning slightly. "If your feelings are causing you anguish, you should stay away from him."
Then, he left the kitchen.
Luca clutched her chest tightly. Her heart was aching.
She knew that if she did not see Luke or think of him, she would not have been in such pain. However, Abel's plan did not allow her to stay away from him.
Abel wanted Luca to get close to Luke and make them sink into despair.
The more she tried to run away, the more Abel would try to force her to approach Luke.
Everything was going according to Abel's plan. Luca had the premonition that something bad would happen at the party on Sunday.
Luca took a deep breath. As she unpacked the groceries, her hands were shaking slightly.
She tried to force herself to calm down. It took her about ten minutes before her hands stopped shaking.
Luca took out her phone and opened the photo album. She looked at Nyla's photos, then at Tommy's smiling face.
She smiled. She would protect them with all her might!
Amur stood on the balcony and looked at the distance.
The man earlier was the man Luca loved...
He was handsome and noble, and he emanated an aura of success.
Indeed, he was quite charming.
However, he had failed to protect Luca three years ago, which had resulted in the situation today.
Amur did not have a good impression of Luke.
When he remembered that longing look on Luca’s face when she mentioned Luke, he could not help but punch the balcony railing. As long as he was with Luca, he would not let Luke hurt her. : owner of this content.
He thought of the additional mission that Abel gave him. To protect Luca, he would have to stay by her side in A City.
When he thought of that, he took out his phone and sent a message to Abel.
