Luca went to the washroom when the banquet was halfway through.

When she was in the cubicle, she coincidentally heard the two women outside talking about her.

"Who's the woman who walked into the hall with Luke while holding the two kids' hands? I remember that his wife

doesn't look like that," one of the women asked.

"So, is she not really his wife? I thought I remembered it wrongly. Then who's that woman?"

"Luke's wife is still abroad. There's no news of her returning here. Who knows who that woman is? After all, she

looks well-behaved. Perhaps she's that kind of woman."

"What kind of woman?"

"A mistress. Isn't it normal for a man as outstanding as Luke to keep a mistress?"

"That can't be. How dare a mistress show up on such an occasion? Even if she dares to, Luke wouldn't dare to bring

her here. Isn't he afraid of pissing off the old master?"

"I agree, but did you notice how close the kids are to that woman? I heard Susan mention that this woman's identity

is unknown and she refuses to say too much about it. She's afraid that the old master will scold her if he finds out."

"That's not good. Let's go. The Crawford family is really complicated. I thought Luke was a good man. I didn't

expect him to be someone like this."

"Are there any men who never cheat on their woman? They just go undetected without getting caught by us. Come

on, let's go."

Luca stood in the cubicle and listened to the two women discussing her. She shook her head helplessly. Susan was

willing to go that far to ruin the Crawford family's reputation and talk nonsense to others.

She walked out of the cubicle. After she washed her hands, she left the washroom.

When she returned to the ballroom, many people were still looking at her. Luca ignored them and returned to her

seat.

When Luca left her seat and went to the washroom just now, the people who were sitting at the same table with

her asked Wanda and Queenie about Luca's identity almost immediately. Hence, both of them knew what the

others were thinking of Luca.

Wanda held Luca's hand and felt that her palm was icy-cold. She frowned and asked caringly, "Are you alright?"

Luca shook her head, telling her that she was fine. Then, she picked up her spoon and continued to help herself

with the food.

After the dinner ended, Luca thought of hailing a ride to go home. However, Zander walked toward her and said in

a low voice, “Ms. Craw, Young Master Luke gave me his orders to ask you to stay here first. If you're feeling tired or

bored, you may head to the lounge to take a rest. He'll send you home after he's done sending off the guests."

Luca was speechless. She thought of leaving secretly when Luke was not paying attention to her, but the man acted

faster than her...

She had no choice but to nod her head, indicating that she understood.

Wanda heard their conversation, and a gleam flashed across her eyes. However, she did not say anything. She

patted Luca's shoulder, smiled, and said, "Luca, I'm going home first. Let's keep in touch. Feel free to come to my

house to have dinner when you're free."

"Sure." Luca waved to her.

Zander left after he passed Luke's message to her. After a while, he brought along the three kids with him.

Tommy leaned over on Luca's lap and asked, "Ms. Luca, you haven't left yet? Why don't you follow us back?"

Luca shook her head and said, "It's alright. I'm leaving after these people have left. It's late. Hurry up and go

home."

Tommy could not bear to let her sit here alone, so he insisted, saying, "Ms. Luca, please follow us back home. Let

Uncle Zander drive you home."

Lanie looked at his younger brother who refused to leave their mother. He shook his head helplessly and said,

"Someone will pick Ms. Luca up. Tommy, let's go."

Then, Lanie took Tommy's hand and left.

Tommy was reluctant to part with Luca. He kept turning around to look at Luca until he followed Zander to leave the

hotel. He got into the car and complained, "Brother, why didn't you let Ms. Luca follow us?"

"Silly little brother." Lanie looked at his younger brother as though he was hoping that Tommy could live up to his

expectations. He reminded him. "There be must a reason why Ms. Luca is sitting there. Daddy must have given his

orders. He probably wants Ms. Luca to wait for him there so that Daddy can send her back home after he's done

entertaining the guests."

"Is that true?" Tommy refused to believe.

Lanie turned to look at Zander and said, "Uncle Zander, tell me. Is this Daddy's arrangement?"

He saw his father speak to Uncle Zander just now. Then after a while, Uncle Zander walked toward his mother.

"Yes, Little Young Master Blanche. Your father is going to send Ms. Luca home later. Don't worry," answered Uncle

Zander.

Tommy replied, "Oh." He fell silent after knowing that someone would be picking Luca up.

On the other hand.

After Luke sent off some of the annoying guests, he came to Luca's side. There were only waiters cleaning up the

tables in the hall now.

Luke looked at Luca, who was busy scrolling her phone, and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Some drunken guests

were busy chattering. Let's go. I'll send you home."

Luca nodded her head.

After all, the people who were invited to the dinner were either related to the Crawford family or his business

partners.

No matter what kind of relationship it was, the chances of meeting Luke were slim. That was why they took the

opportunity to talk with Luke. It was normal to do so.

She stood up, followed Luke, and left together with him.

A gust of cold breeze blew past them once they stepped out of the hotel. Luca, who was not prepared, could not

help but shiver.

Luke noticed this and took his coat off. He put it on her shoulder.

Luca was about to reject and tell him that she was not feeling cold, but she heard him saying in a low voice, “Put it

on. Don't catch a cold.”

"I'm not that weak,” replied Luca. However, she still put the coat on her.

There was Luke's scent on the coat and the warmth that his body heat left behind. No matter how cold the wind

was, she felt as if it was nothing to her now.

"Keep yourself warm. You're officially going back to T Corporation to work tomorrow. The company needs you to be

in your best condition," Luke said as he headed to the parking lot.

Luca listened to him. It seemed like his concern for her was always because of work.

She always felt like something was wrong, but at the same time, it did not seem to be the case.

The two of them walked side by side to the car. After Luca waited for him to unlock the car door, she opened the

car door herself before Luke could open it for her. Then, she quickly got in.

Luke noticed her gestures. It seemed she was bothered by his gentlemanly acts toward her. His eyes could not help

getting dark.

They were close with each other back then. However, it seemed like she could not wait to distance herself from him

now.

If it were not because he would never do anything unreasonable to her, Luke would have thought that he had

accidentally hurt her feelings before, which made her distance herself from him as though he was a snake or a

scorpion.

As Luke watched the door to the passenger seat closing, he put on a serious expression. Then, he got into the

driver's seat and drove off without saying anything.
