The water temperature was getting colder. After Luca washed up, she stood up and realized that it was not her
bathroom. She had no bath towel and pajamas here, so she had to pick up Luke's bath towel to wrap herself with.
By this hour, the children should have fallen asleep. They would not notice if she went back to her room to get her
pajamas.
With that thought, Luca walked out of the bathroom.
Luke was not in the bedroom, so she guessed that he had gone to take a shower in the toilet opposite.
Luca opened the bedroom door and found that the corridor was completely silent. She quickly walked back to her
bedroom and opened the door when Luke happened to come out of the bathroom.
"Mr. Crawford, you're done washing up," she said before realizing it was nonsense.
Luca was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and put her head in it.
"Mm." Unlike her, Luke had brought his pajamas with him before he went to take a shower. He was wearing
pajamas while she was wrapped in a bath towel.
"I didn't expect you to be so fast," he said. He thought Luca would take a long bath to relieve the fatigue. He did not
expect her to shower as fast as him.
"I took a quick shower. Mm, I'll wash your bath towel tomorrow. I'll go change into my pajamas..." Luca said as she

"I don't mind," Luke said and walked behind her.
"Huh?" Luca turned around and almost hit him in the chest.
"I don't mind if you use my bath towel," Luke said softly against her ear. "Did I make myself clear this time?"
"U-Understood," Luca whispered. She did not need to look in the mirror to know that her ears were red at that
moment.
Luke said, "I have one thing to say. Listen carefully."
"Tell me." Luca slowed her breathing. The skin on her neck was exposed, so she could feel the breath he exhaled. It
was hot, and her body could not help but tremble slightly.
Luke noticed her shudder, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile because of his good mood. "In the
future, don't call me ‘Mr. Crawford' in private. Call me by my name, just like before."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luca took a step back, her face blushing red. She wanted to go to the bathroom
with her pajamas in her hands.
"You have to promise me." Luke blocked her way and took her into his arms.
"I..." Luca felt his strong arms blocking her. She could not move forward, and behind her was his chest.
"Promise me. Otherwise, I won't let you go." Luke hugged her tightly. He wanted to hear his expected answer.
Luca shivered. She had already exceeded her limit just now, but he was getting closer and closer. If it went on, she
wondered if she would still be able to go to work tomorrow.
She did not think too much and immediately agreed, "Okay, I promise you."
"I want to hear you say it," Luke said.
"Luke..." Luca had to compromise. She did not expect that he would insist so much on how she addressed him.
"Good." Luke let go of her. "Put on your pajamas. Don't catch a cold."
"Okay." Luca was walking to the bathroom when she heard him tease her. "We've been together for so long. It
doesn't matter if you change here."
She was as red as a tomato. Luca then dashed to the bathroom and closed the door.
Luke was in a good mood as he watched her rush to escape.
She was a treasure that he was reluctant to let go of since the first contact.
After Luca changed into her pajamas, she put Luke's bath towel in the laundry tub and returned to the bedroom at
a leisurely pace.
She walked to the bed with small steps and lifted the blanket. She was too shy to look at Luke. "Mr..."
Luca paused as she thought of what he said. "Luke, I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed."
"Mm, I'm going to bed too." Luke got into bed on the other side.

Almost at the same time, Luke turned off the lights and pulled her into his arms.
He felt more comfortable sleeping with his arms around her. His inner unease would go away for just a little bit.
'I wonder what she talked about with Amur. Could it be about the Island of Despair? Does it have anything to do with
him?'
After he found out that she was Bianca and confirmed that she was being controlled by the Island of Despair, Luke
stopped listening to her calls.
First, he knew who was controlling her. Secondly, the Island of Despair was cautious and he could not find out
anything from her calls.
Therefore, he did not monitor anything when she met Amur for dinner.
However, Luke could feel that when Luca walked into the opposite bedroom, her mood was different like something
was about to happen.
She just could not say anything and could only deal with it on her own.
It was a night without dreams.
Luca always rested well when she was beside Luke.
When she woke up, the space beside her was empty.
