Matysh's brows furrowed out of impatience after listening to the driver's explanation.

It was too long-winded and troublesome. How could he get Luca fast with that kind of progress?

The driver noticed that he looked upset as he did not say a word. He knew that Matysh's anger had not calmed down, but there was nothing he could do anyway.

The neighborhood in front of him was an A-list neighborhood, and a lot of effort had been put into its security system. They would get caught if they were to break in. He was not that foolish.

“Mr. Matysh, let's go back first. Usually, the woman would not come out again after returning home," said the driver.

Matysh stared at him fiercely. "If you knew that she wouldn't come out after going in, why didn't you stop her?"

"For the sake of your life and hers. As I've said before, if you want to get the woman in one piece, be patient. We need a detailed plan to do so.

Luca let out a sigh of relief after driving into the neighborhood.

Those people would not be able to follow her after she entered, so her tense nerves instantly relaxed.

She was not afraid of anything, but her driving skills were not great. If the other party were to stop her abruptly, she would have no way to fight back. Not to mention, the road was slippery, so there would be a high risk of danger.

Luca returned to the mansion, parked the car, and walked into the house.

Coincidentally, Nina came out of the kitchen too. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Luca come back. Nina stood there for a while as she looked her up and down.

"Is there something on my face?" Luca took off her coat. She was uncomfortable being stared at, so she subconsciously wiped her face with the back of her hand.

"No." Nina shook her head while her gaze was still locked on her face. "Luca, you look pale. Are you not feeling well?"

Luca shook her head. Nina did not pay much attention to these matters, so she could not tell Nina that she was being followed earlier.

Plus, she did not know whether it was Matysh or Pierre's people...

If it was Matysh who was after her, Nina would not be involved. But if it was Pierre, Nina would be worried and feel guilty if she found out.

“But you look so pale. If you're not sick, did you encounter something on your way back?" Nina continued to ask out of concern as she knew that the Mallory family would not stop there.

Although Old Master Crawford had already explained that he would protect her, if the Mallory family were to take revenge, they might lay a finger on Luca when she was least expecting it.

Nina was not willing to see Luca get hurt because of her.

"No, it's just too cold outside." Luca shook her head and forced a smile to keep her from worrying.

Nina saw that she refused to say anything and decided not to continue pestering her about it. "I'll pour you a glass of warm water to warm up your body."

"Thank you," Luca thanked her as she did need a glass of water to calm herself down. Besides, the kids knew how to read people's faces. If they saw her in her current state, they would be worried.

She walked into the living room to see the three kids doing their homework.

After hearing footsteps, the three children turned around to see that it was her. They all greeted, "Ms. Luca, you're back!"

"Yes, are you all doing your homework? Good job." Luca did not come too close in order to not let the kids notice her pale complexion.

"Yup." Tommy nodded and turned to continue doing his homework.

Rainie examined Luca's face and noticed her pale complexion. "Ms. Luca, are you okay?"

"I'm okay. It's just a little cold outside, and I didn't wear enough today. Hurry up and finish your homework," Luca coaxed the child.

Rainie nodded.

Before Luca walked into the kitchen, Nina brought a warm cup of water for her. "Quick, drink some warm water to warm up."

"Thank you." Luca took a sip of hot tea. Her body warmed up, and she calmed herself down.

"Is there really nothing wrong?" Nina whispered.

Luca shook her head and looked back at the children.

Rainie looked at her worriedly...

"I'm fine, Nina. Can you watch the children? I need to go upstairs and carry out some experiments," said Luca as she used experiments as an excuse to avoid having them worry about her.

"Okay.." Nina agreed. She watched her walk upstairs until she disappeared from her sight and sat down on the couch.

Rainie looked up at Nina. "Ms. Nina, is Ms. Luca okay?"

"She was just too cold. Don't think too much about it." Nina smiled and patted her head. "Finish your homework. She'll come down when you're done."

Rainie shook her head. "Let's not have her come down. She seems to be in bad shape. Ms. Nina, you can help us check our homework instead?"

Tommy looked up at Rainie and tried to recall how Luca looked just now. Was it that bad?

Why did he not notice?

Nina saw the curiosity in the child's eyes and gently patted his shoulder. "Come on, finish your homework. You don't want me to point out your mistakes later, do you?"

“Ms. Nina, you're not going to find my mistakes." Tommy stuck out his tongue at her and continued doing his homework.

Upstairs.

Luca sat in the study, staring at the samples in a daze.

Should she tell Luke what she encountered just now?

It would be better if she did...

After Luke came back from his business trip, he seemed like a completely different person. Luca had a feeling that she would be entangled with Luke if she did not leave here one day. All content is property © .

Therefore, she still had to tell him what happened.

Besides, he had a lot of connections. If something were to happen in the future, it would be easier to deal with if he was aware of it.

The moment Luca made up her mind, she frowned again.

Luke seemed like he cared a lot about her.

If he knew about this, would he be overly worried?

She did not want to see Luke worry because of her.

Luca had been sitting in her study. She said she was going to do experiments, but she had not been doing anything.

Only after Aunt Neile knocked on her door to inform her that dinner was ready did she come back to her senses and stand up to open the door.

"Aunt Neile, is Mr. Crawford back?" she asked as she walked out of her study.

"Mr. Crawford is back. He said that he'd be back for dinner today, so he's having dinner right now," explained Aunt Neile.

"Oh, okay.." Luca hesitated for an hour, yet she had not made up her mind. Hence, she decided to wait until after dinner.

After heading downstairs with Aunt Neile, she saw that the kids and Nina were no longer in the living room. She guessed that they were all in the dining room.

Luca walked into the dining room, and as expected, everyone was already seated there.

"Ms. Craw, have a seat. I'll bring out the dishes," said Aunt Neile.

Luca nodded. The only empty seat left at the table was next to Luke, so she went over and sat down.

Tommy was the only one who was noisy at the dinner table.

"Ms. Luca, what were you doing just now?" The moment Luca sat down, Tommy grabbed her sleeve and asked while pouting.

"I was doing experiments. What's wrong?" Luca could feel that Luke was looking at her, so she looked down to divert her attention.
