“Mm.” Luke shot a glance at her, picked up the stack of plates and cutlery, and went into the kitchen.
Luca turned her head to look at Tommy. He was looking at her with a grin on his face.
“Ms. Luca, from now on, you can let Daddy do all that,” Tommy said.
‘From now on?’ Luca blinked.
Luca hoped that she would have nothing more to do with Luke… This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“Your Daddy shouldn’t be doing household chores,” Luca said while patting the child’s head. Luke should be sitting in his office, leading his company to greater heights, and stimulating the economy of the entire A City.
Tommy shook his head. “Why shouldn’t he? He’s also a normal person. Everyone should know how to do household chores.”
Luca had no reply to the little boy’s statement. He was correct: Luke was only a normal person, and doing household chores should not be beneath him.
However, she did not wish to see his hands stained with grease.
Luke was her crush in her younger days, the father of her children, and was once her husband…
He should not be doing the housework, even though he was doing it for her.
“Luca Craw.” Luke’s voice was heard from the kitchen.
“Huh?” Luca came to her senses and replied.
“Come here for a while,” Luke said.
Luca quickly got up and went into the kitchen. She noticed him standing in front of the dishwasher and studying it intently.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Crawford?” She asked.
“I don’t know how to operate this,” Luke said as he turned around and looked at her. The dishwasher was a new model, and he had not studied its functions yet.
Luca was surprised that a mere dishwasher managed to stump him…
She walked over and explained, “This dishwasher is a new model. The controls are so that the grease and smoke in the kitchen won’t get to them. Let me do it.”
Luke stepped aside, and Luca stepped in front of the dishwasher. She had observed the maid operate the dishwasher, so she knew where the controls were.
She pressed some buttons, and the dishwasher hummed to life.
‘Oh, so that’s where the controls are,’ Luke thought.
“The dishwasher also sterilizes the plates. You can leave them inside after it’s done,” Luca said and turned her head around, meeting Luke’s gaze.
It was then that she realized that the man was standing so close to her…
All she had to do was slightly lift her head to take in those masculine features…
Luca could feel her cheeks heating up. If she continued to stand there, she would soon become uneasy…
Luke’s scent was so sharp and fragrant. It was such a familiar scent…
She would be lying if she said that she did not miss him. How she wished that she could hug him and find safety in his embrace.
However, she could not do that.
“Well… it’s not surprising that you don’t know how to use a dishwasher. After all, you always have someone else to do your dishes,” Luca said as she turned around and walked two steps away. That was perhaps a safe distance.
Luke could see that she was flustered. Her cheeks were flushed as though she had drunk two glasses of wine.
“You seem embarrassed, Dr. Craw,” he said with certainty.
Luca instinctively touched her face and said, “No. The ventilation fan isn’t on, and it’s quite warm in here.”
Luke did not pursue the topic. He said, “The kitchen alone is more spacious than your apartment. I won’t usually come here. You can continue to stay here.”
“I’ll leave after I get my ID,” Luca said insistently.
Luke could tell that she was trying to keep a distance from him. Would she behave like that if she planned to get close to him?
Luca felt awkward being stared at like that. She explained, “This is your house. If I stay here for too long, other people might suspect something. I’ll leave after I get my documents back.”
Luke did not understand what she was doing. Was she playing hard to get?
Tia was also trying to get close to him, but Luca was doing the exact opposite. What was Luca’s plan?
“If you don’t feel comfortable with the arrangement, I can convert this apartment into an employees’ dormitory, and you’ll be the sole occupant,” Luke said as he walked around her and left the kitchen.
Luca stood there in a daze. His movement stirred up a breeze that carried his scent.
Employees’ dormitory?
The high-end apartment developed by T Corporation was too lavish to be an employees’ dormitory. It was close to the city center, and it was near to the workplace, shopping malls, and other entertainment facilities…
The dishwasher made some slight noises. It was not loud, but it made Luca return to her senses.
She quickly walked out of the kitchen and noticed that Luke and Tommy were standing at the door.
Tommy waved at her. “Ms. Luca, Daddy said that you need more rest. We won’t take up any more of your time.”

Luca nodded and replied, “Alright.”
“Bye-bye, Ms. Luca.” Tommy waved again and left the apartment with his father.
Luca walked toward Luke. He was looking into her eyes, and she could not tell what he was thinking.
“Mr. Crawford, this apartment is too luxurious to be an employees’ dormitory,” she said insistently.
Tommy looked at the two adults and did not say anything.
“Once your research is successful, the product will bring massive profits to the company. T Corporation has never pinched pennies on anyone who can contribute to the company. It’s within reason to let you stay here,” Luke said.
“But…” Luca was still trying to refuse.
“You can ask the other managers of T Corporation. They all have an apartment like this one under their names,” Luke said, then took Tommy’s hand and left the apartment.
Luca wanted to say something, but it was too late.
She felt flustered and helpless as she watched the father and son enter the elevator.
From moving to T Corporation, to giving her the apartment, Luke wanted to keep her close to him for some reason. Perhaps he wanted to be able to keep a close eye on her.
Luca sighed. How was she going to refuse?
She closed the door and sat on the couch.
Her phone began to ring. The call was from Sue.
“I’ve heard what happened, Luca. Are you alright?” Sue asked out of concern.
“I’m fine,” Luca replied.
“I wouldn’t have known something so serious happened to you if Jason didn’t tell me. I heard that you were knocked out too. Are you sure you’re okay?” Evidently, Sue was very worried.
Even though they had not known each other for too long, Sue found a peculiar sense of familiarity with Luca. That was why she was so concerned about Luca.
“It’s just a minor injury. The signs of concussion are gone, too.” Luca’s heart warmed when she heard how concerned Sue was to her.
