Rainie's words left Luke speechless.

"Who taught you to say that?" Luke's mood darkened as he took Rainie's hand.

‘If I could say such sweet words to Luca, why wouldn't I?'

If he did, he was afraid that he would scare Luca off. It would not be worth the loss if she opted to retreat and escape...

Moreover, he did not like to use his words to show his affection. He believed that his actions spoke louder than words.

However, the situation that Luca was in did not allow him to act so recklessly. After all, she still had some scruples holding her back.

Luke did not act as he did before considering that she could not reveal her identity. Plus, there was still someone who was manipulating her behind the scenes.

"No... No one taught me to say that. I just think that what Aunt Nina said made sense..." Rainie shrank her neck and could not help but wonder. She overheard the adults speak, so she thought that that was how things should be. That was why she repeated it to Luke.

"This does not apply to Ms. Luca. Anyway, she can't run away. You're a kid. You should be good and stay out of adult matters." Luke urged. He did not want the kids to overthink.

"I know, Daddy..." Rainie nodded.

"I still have some things to attend to. You should go downstairs," Luke said as he continued to work on the documents.

His recent workload had increased due to the acquisition of Hampton Company on top of preparing to win over the development rights of the suburban land.

The busier he got, the more things he had to deal with.

Luke could only squeeze some time here and there. He even asked Lliam to drive him to and from work so that he could work in the car.

However, he did not feel tired. He slept with Luca in his arms every night, so no matter how little he slept, he would always wake up feeling full of energy. It was unlike before when he needed to rely on cups of coffee to keep his energy level up.

Downstairs, Luca brought the breakfast she prepared to the table. She did not see Rainie, so she asked, "Has Rainie woken up yet?"

"Rainie went to look for Daddy," Lanie sat in the chair and replied.

Luca nodded in response. She guessed that the father and daughter had something to discuss in secret, so she did not say anything.

She walked into the kitchen again and placed Luke's breakfast on the tray. "Aunt Neile, please send this upstairs."

Luke could eat breakfast while working. However, it would affect his digestion and it would not be good if the children modeled after his behavior. Hence, he never ate while working at the dining table.

He would only do that in the study.

"Okay." Aunt Neile picked up the tray and was about to head up when she thought of Luca's health. She stopped in her tracks and asked, "By the way, Ms. Craw, do you want me to prepare some brown sugar tea for you today?"

"I don't need it today." Luca was stunned. Her body was not so fragile that she needed to drink brown sugar tea often. She only drank it because Luke asked Aunt Neile to prepare it.

"Brown sugar tea is good for a woman's body," Aunt Neile said.

"My period is almost over, so I don't need it." Luca shook her head, put on some mittens, and took the toasted bread out of the kitchen. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Rainie had finished talking to Luke and was sitting in the chair by the dining table.

"Let's eat," Luca told them as she put the toasted bread on the table.

The three children obediently ate the bread and milk.

Aunt Neile brought the breakfast upstairs to Luke.

After she put down the food, Aunt Neile asked with a smile on her face, "Sir, do you need me to bring lunch for you and Ms. Craw today?"

"Yes." Luke's gaze did not leave the document in front of him. He picked up a slice of bread and was taken back when he unexpectedly touched the fried egg next to it.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Neile said, "This is the fried egg that Ms. Craw specially prepared for you. She said that you've been working hard and need more nutrients. I'll send lunch to the office at noon today."

Luke looked at the eggs and remembered that Luca used to fry eggs for him before she was kidnapped.

Her fried eggs were delicious, but they were not as tempting for those like Luke who did not enjoy eating eggs.

As such, Luca tried many different ways to get him to eat eggs back then. She even fried the eggs into the shape of a heart. When he refused to eat them, she would tell him that he was letting all her hard work and love go to waste.

'What an adorable woman...'

He looked at the eggs that were now fried to a round shape, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise to a slight smile. He told Aunt Neile, "Prepare some brown sugar tea..."

"Okay." Aunt Neile agreed. Although Luca said there was no need to prepare the tea, she decided to obey Luke. After all, he was her boss.

After breakfast, Luca walked to the door of the villa and found that not only Warren was waiting for her in the car but Lliam was also there.

She walked to Lliam's car and asked, "Lliam, why are you here?"

"The boss asked me to drive him to and from work," Lliam said with a smile. Although he was T Corporation's chauffeur, his priority was to serve Luke.

Luca nodded. She understood why Luke asked him to do that.

In this way, he could save time and deal with some documents on the road. It was clear that he had his hands full with work.

Luke had done the same in the past. He would ask the chauffeur to drive him while he would sit in the back seat handling various company documents.

It was only later that Luke enjoyed spending time with her even more, so instead of having the chauffeur pick him up, he personally drove her. He would send her to Brilliant Architectural Design LLC

before he drove himself to T Corporation.

"Dr. Craw, are you getting in too?" Lliam asked as he got out of the car and opened the door for her.

"No, I'm taking that car," Luca said. She then walked to the car beside and opened the door.

Luca knew that Warren did not work for T Corporation.

He was working under Gale. Warren was skilled in martial arts and had good driving skills, so he was asked by Luke to protect her to and from work.

Warren did not know Lliam well. After Luca got into the car, he closed the door, glanced at Lliam, got back in the driver's seat, and drove off.

When he saw that, Lliam could not help but murmur, "The chauffeur the boss got for Dr. Craw is so cool..."

Not long after Luca left, Luke walked out of the house too. Aunt Neile walked behind him, holding a stack of folders.

Lliam hurriedly got out of the car and opened the backseat door. "Good morning, Boss."

"Morning." Luke was as taciturn as ever in front of his subordinates. He closed the car door after he got in.

Lliam took the thick stack of documents from Aunt Neile, walked around the car, opened the door on the other side, and put the documents on the passenger seat.

This would allow Luke to work on the documents on his way to the office.

When he got everything sorted, Lliam closed the door, got in the driver's seat, and drove off.
