"Why don't you ask around? Besides, what does your brother do for a living? I wonder if his job matches the girl's
job," said Mrs. Selley. She wanted Luca to help.
Luca felt helpless listening to what she said.
Amur showed no interest in this. Why did Mrs. Selley sound like she had already decided for him?
“It'd be better if you can ask him in person.” The moment Luca finished her sentence, she found the key in her
pocket. When she was about to take it out and open the door, the door opened.
“I have a crush. You don't have to worry about that.” Amur looked straight into Mrs. Selley's eyes with a mask on his
face. Then, he took the bag that Luca was carrying and went into the house.
Mrs. Selley was dumbfounded as she remained rooted to the spot. She did not know her voice was so loud that
Amur, who was in the house, heard her.
Was the soundproofing of the apartment that bad?
Luca noticed the awkward expression on Mrs. Selley's face. She smiled to ease the situation. “Mrs. Selley, you
heard him too. Let's forget about this."
After that, Luca walked into the apartment and closed the door behind her.
Mrs. Selley glanced at her pet dog. It kept quiet while looking at her standing awkwardly outside someone else's

"It's so embarrassing. It's my first attempt at matchmaking," grumbled Mrs. Selley as she quickly walked back to
her apartment.
Luca followed Amur to the kitchen. After she watched him put the two bags of ingredients on the kitchen counter,
she pursed her lips and asked, "You heard everything?"
"The soundproofing isn't that good. Besides, that woman has a loud voice," answered Amur. He was disgusted at
the thought of Mrs. Selley trying to set him up with another woman.
He hated busybodies like her.
"Amur, maybe you can actually think about it," Luca suddenly exclaimed.
"It'd be better for me not to cause any trouble for the others." Amur smiled bitterly. He looked at the two bags of
ingredients and turned to look at her. "How are we able to finish all this?"
"I did buy more. You must be waiting for his orders in A City these days. That's why I'll prepare more food to put in
the fridge. You only have to warm it when you're hungry." Luca bought some ingredients to make some unbaked
pot pies for Amur so that he could have her homemade food more often.
These could be left in the fridge, and they could last for a long time.
"Okay." Amur nodded and helped Luca to take the ingredients out of the bag.
“Why are you wearing a mask at home? Did you catch a cold?" asked Luca. However, Amur sounded alright when
she listened to him.
“No..." Amur did not lie to her.
He knew Luca very well. If he admitted that he caught a cold, his lies would eventually be exposed.
“Your face.." The expression on Luca's face became stern. “Take it off."
“It's nothing.." said Amur. He did not want Luca to see his swollen face.
Amur immediately fell asleep when he lay on the bed after arriving at the apartment. He had yet to reduce the
swelling in his face. He noticed that the swelling had gotten more serious when he woke up.
“You'll have to take it off while we're having dinner later. Amur, show me now." Luca forced him.
Amur had no choice but to take the mask off helplessly.
“Why is it so serious? Did he hit you?" Luca was talking about Abel.
Amur nodded and reached out to her. “Give it to me."
Luca knew he was asking for her phone. Therefore, she took out her phone and handed it to him.
Amur took his phone out as well and placed them in the bedroom. He closed the door and returned to the kitchen.
Luca had already opened the fridge, looking for something.
“What are you looking for?" Amur asked with confusion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I'm looking for a cold compress. The swelling is too serious. You have to apply a cold compress to the swollen area.
I remember I placed two ice packs in the fridge last time," replied Luca. She eventually found an ice pack in the
fridge.
Luca took it out and handed it to Amur. “Apply it."
“It's cold." Amur frowned. It was icy to apply this on his face in such chilly weather.
“Why are you afraid of the cold? You're a man. Are you even afraid of this?" Luca refused to believe him. She knew
how strong Amur was.
Amur had no choice but to take the ice pack from her and apply it to his face.
As Luca began to clean the vegetables, she asked, “Tell me. Why did he hit you?"
Even though Abel was a deceitful person, he would not easily hit others. He would always find a reason when he
wanted to do it.
“I broke Pierre's leg," Amur answered in a relaxed tone.
Luca was startled for a moment. Her gestures were interrupted too. “Is that true?"
“Yes. I'm pretty sure about that. Even if he manages to fix it, he'll suffer from the sequela after his surgery," replied
Amur. At that time, he unleashed a devastating kick that left no doubt as to his prowess and dominance.
