Nina looked at him. She had something to say, but she hesitated.

She wanted to ask him why.

'Why is he asking me to leave the matter alone when it's something that everyone would know is wrong without having to think twice? Could it be that there's a secret behind all this?'

Luke should never have betrayed Bianca, even if there was another reason behind it.

Even if he no longer loved her, he should end the relationship with her righteously. However, Bianca was exiled abroad, while Luca was by his side.

It was not that Nina thought that Luca was bad. She just thought that it was wrong for her to intervene in Luke and Bianca's relationship.

However, Percy told her to stay out of it...

Percy held Nina in his arms seeing that she was staying silent. "There are many things that the fewer people know, the better. I promise that when the timing is right, I'll tell you everything."

Nina knew that there must be a plan in motion, so she did not continue to pursue the matter. However, she asked, "Will your plan hurt Luca?"

It was inappropriate that she was involved in Luke's marriage, but she should not be hurt either. After all, she was a genuinely nice person.

"No." Percy promised.

"That's good. it's getting late. Let's go to bed." Nina held his arm, her voice was soft.

Percy wanted to deal with the matter involving the Mallory family, but seeing that it was almost midnight, he knew that Old Master Mallory had already fallen asleep. As such, he had to wait until the next day.

"Okay, let's sleep." He hugged Nina as they lay down.

The night was long. Some whispered about love, while there were some who could not sleep for various reasons. ...

The next day.

Luca came downstairs with dark circles under her eyes to prepare breakfast. owns all content.

The maid was occupied and working in the kitchen. When she saw Luca walk in looking like she had not slept all night, she said in surprise, "Ms. Craw, did you not have a good rest?"

"It's alright. My mind was occupied with work, so I only got a few hours of sleep," Luca explained and touched her face. Her skin was not in the best condition because of her insomnia.

Last night, she thought about everything and anything, causing her to have insomnia.

It was the first time she could not fall asleep even after taking sleeping pills. Luca felt that her current life had made her more and more anxious.

"You look terrible. How about I make you a cup of warm milk to make you feel a little better?" the maid asked, concerned.

"Don't worry about it. I'll just get some sleep tonight." Luca picked up the apron beside her and put it on.

The maid noticed that Luca was going to prepare breakfast for the children, so she said thoughtfully, "Actually, let me do this. Would you like to go back to sleep? You can still sleep for an hour or so."

"It's alright. I can't fall asleep right now. I can prepare breakfast while you can go ahead with your other tasks.” Luca shook her head, opened the refrigerator, and took out some ingredients.

Tommy and the others liked the breakfast she made. If the maid prepared it, they would be able to tell the difference.

Therefore, Luca wanted to make breakfast for the kids when she still could.

She did not want to leave any regrets. She cherished any time she could be part of their growth, even if it was only for one day.

Seeing that Luca insisted on making breakfast for the children, the maid nodded, took off her apron, and walked out of the kitchen.

Luca worked agilely to prepare breakfast for the children. She then went upstairs and put on some light makeup to hide her haggard face.

By the time Luke and the kids got up and went downstairs, Luca had already brought the breakfast she prepared to the table.

Tommy's gluttonous eyes lit up when he got a whiff of the aroma. He dashed to the dining table and looked eagerly at the breakfast on the table.

"Ms. Luca, I'm hungry." He turned his head and looked at Luca, who was pouring milk into a glass.

"Sit down and dig in, then," Luca said, putting the cups of milk in front of the children's seats. In front of her and Luke's seats, she placed two cups of coffee.

Luke would usually have a cup of coffee in the morning, while she would usually drink whatever the children drank for breakfast. However, she did not sleep much last night and had to have some coffee to deal with her high-intensity workload.

The children took their seats, and Luke sat next to them.

He looked at the coffee in front of him, then at the coffee in front of Luca. He was a little puzzled and asked, "Since when do you drink coffee in the morning?"

In the past, she would drink milk or juice.

Luca put the toasted bread in front of the kids and responded to the man's question, "I like to switch things around from time to time."

The maid heard her but did not say anything.

After breakfast, Luca stood up. She did not need to clean up the plates on the table, so she went upstairs to change and prepared to head to the office.

After the maid saw her going upstairs, she whispered to Luke, "Sir, Ms. Craw didn't sleep well last night, so she needed coffee."

"Mm." Luke nodded. Although Luca did not say anything, he could guess what happened.

Her life was stable, and she paid great attention to taking care of her health. She would not drink coffee if she did not have to.

"She's wearing makeup now, but when she came downstairs to prepare breakfast for everyone, her complexion was terrible. If you can, please have her rest more." After the maid finished speaking, she brought the dirty dishes to the kitchen.

Luke glanced at the kids. They had all heard what the maid said.

"In the future, whether the food is prepared by her or the maid, you have to finish everything obediently. Don't be picky eaters," he ordered the kids.

Luca went downstairs to make breakfast for them even when she did not have enough rest because she knew that the kids liked her cooking.

Tommy also felt sorry for Luca, so he nodded obediently in agreement.

After Luca changed her clothes and went downstairs, there was no sign of the three children in the living room.

"Let's go." Luke picked up his briefcase and got up from the sofa.

‘He wants to send me to work?'

They worked in the same building, so Luca understood why he wanted to send her to work. She did not turn him down and nodded. She then asked casually, "Where are Tommy and the others?"

"Zander is sending them to school," Luke said. When Old Master Crawford found out that he was living with Luca with the kids, he arranged for Zander to drive the kids to and from school.

He did that so it would allow Luke to focus more on the company.

"Zander?" Luca wondered. 'Doesn't Zander work in Crawford Manor? Won't Old Master Crawford have a problem now that Luke is having him come over to pick up the kids every day?'

"It's Grandpa's arrangement." Luke knew the questions in her mind.

Luca looked up at him and suddenly wanted to ask him if Old Master Crawford knew that he was living with her after he moved out.

If Old Master Crawford knew, he would never agree...

That was because Luke had a spouse, even if just legally.
