Female Novel
Chapter 1938
"Alright." Amur agreed and looked at the tender look in her eyes. He was full of unwillingness.
He was selfish and hoped that these unpleasant issues would be resolved as soon as possible.
With that, he would be able to return to the Island of Despair with Luca. Even if their days there wereunpleasant, they could at least free themselves from the troubles here.
Luca did not realize that Amur had thought things through. After she was done comparing thedocuments, she then sent the maid a message, telling her that she would not be returning for dinner.
The maid replied: [Alright, Ms. Luca.]
Luca placed her phone down and ignored the message. She turned on the TV and watched it.
After having dinner, it was already eight at night.
Amur glanced at the scenery outside. It was pitch-black, and he was worried that it would be dangerousfor Luca to return alone. He wanted to have her stay back. "It's getting late. Why don't you just stayhere for the night? I've always been sleeping in the second bedroom, and the things in the masterbedroom haven't been touched. You can sleep there."
Luca shook her head as she did not wish to spend the night here. She thought of Luke.
Even though he was handling issues regarding Dr. Albus, she was clueless about whether he wouldreturn to the villa. If he did return to the villa, no one would be there to look after him. It would not beconvenient for him to do anything, including bathing.
"I think it's best if I return. Someone will come here to collect these documents. That way, I won't haveto rush,” said Luca. She looked at the clock. "Besides, it's not that late yet."
"Alright then. I'll see you off downstairs." Amur was aware of her feelings. He knew that she wasrushing back because of that man.novelbin
Luca nodded her head.
They walked to the elevator. Her phone rang, and she picked it up to have a look only to see that it wasa call from Luke.
Luca answered it, "Mr. Crawford."
"Are you still at your brother's apartment?" Luke immediately asked.
Luca looked at Amur and answered honestly, "I'm about to leave."
Amur, who was next to her, kept quiet. He felt that something was going on between both of them. Itwas only eight at night and the man was already calling her.
Luca was not his woman now!
Amur did not say a word and just silently endured the dissatisfaction within him.
"I'm at the entrance downstairs. I can't go in. You'll have to come out," Luke said as he glanced at thesecurity guard who was stopping him.
The incident that happened previously had made the security in this small area become stricter.Strangers without the permission of the tenant would not be allowed to enter.
"Ah, alright." Luca was surprised that he would come here.
The elevator arrived at their floor, and Luca stepped in. She looked at Amur and said, "You don't haveto send me off, Amur. You can go back and take a rest."
"It's best if I send you down," said Amur, feeling determined. He pressed on the first floor when heentered the elevator.
Then, the elevator doors closed.
Luca could vaguely sense that he was not in a good mood but just went along with him.
After they arrived on the first floor, Luca headed toward the entrance of the small area. She wanted toknow why Luke would show up here.
Amur grabbed her elbow. "Did you park your car outside?"
"No..." Luca shook her head and answered him honestly, "Luke is at the entrance of the small area.Maybe there's something urgent. I'm heading over to have a look."
"He's here?" Amur frowned and spoke in a disgusted tone.
Luca knew he despised Luke. Hence, she made up an excuse for him, “Maybe it's about Dr. Albus.That's why he's here."
"I always do things carefully. His men shouldn't have been able to find him. I'll follow you to meet him,"said Amur in a determined tone. He wanted to have a look at what was Luke up to.
Luca could not stop him and followed him to the entrance.
The headlights of the car were on, and Luke saw Luca slowly walking toward him.
Jason was sitting in the driver's seat and noticed that Luca was coming over. He reminded, "Mr.Crawford, it's Dr. Craw."
"Get out," Luke said.
Jason was astonished. "Sorry?"
"Get down from the car," Luke said concisely.
Jason unfastened his seatbelt and got out of the car after pushing the car door open.
Luca arrived before the car and saw him. She was not surprised that Jason was here too. WhereverLuke went, he needed someone to follow him. "Is Mr. Crawford in the car?"
"Yes. Please enter the car," said Jason with a smile. He looked at Amur and noticed the latter's darkexpression under the car's headlights.
'His gloomy expression is almost on par with Luke's.
'So, this is Luca's brother whom Tina mentioned?'
That day in the company, Tina had blurted out the incident that occurred yesterday. After complaining,she mentioned Luca's younger brother. Since then, he became curious about this person.
Looking at him now, Amur was dressed in a thin shirt despite it being winter. From his casual attire, hismuscular figure was made obvious.
'No wonder Tina said he's agile. One look and I know he practices martial arts.'
Luca nodded and walked to the front passenger seat. She knocked on the car window after thinkingthat the man in the car would be cold if she opened the car door.
Luke wound the car window down. He lifted his hand and pointed at the driver's seat. "Get in the car."
The simple statement made Luca stunned. He had never talked much in front of others. Before shewas able to speak, Luke wound the car window back up.
She could only see the side profile of his determined face.
Feeling helpless, Luca had no choice but to go around the car and walk to the driver's seat. Sheopened the car door.
"Luca." Amur felt a pinch in his heart. He was not happy seeing her entering Luke's car.
Luca just responded with a faint smile. She bent down and climbed into the driver's seat. Sheimmediately closed the car door, afraid the cold wind might enter. "Any orders, Mr. Crawford?"
"Where's your car keys?" Only then did Luke speak a little more.
Luca took out her car keys from the office bag. Before she could pass them to him, the latter took themaway.
Luke wound the car window down and shouted, "Jason!"
Jason quickly went to the side of the car. "Any orders, Mr. Crawford?"
Luke tossed the car keys to him. "Go drive Dr. Craw's car back."
"Alright." Jason caught the car keys and smiled while waiting for Luke to wind up the window. He thenstood straight up.
Luca looked at his actions, astonished. "Mr. Crawford?"
"Start driving home," Luke said.
"But the car..." Luca looked at Jason. He stood at the front of the car, waving at them.
"Jason knows what to do," Luke said. He adjusted his seat to a comfortable angle.
Luca felt very helpless and had no choice but to fasten her seatbelt and start the car. She then slowlyreversed the car.
'He really is domineering. The security guards didn't let him in, so he parked right at the entrance of thesmall neighborhood without considering whether there would be others entering or leaving the place.'
Amur took a step forward when he saw Luca slowly reversing the car. However, Jason grabbed hisarm. "Hey, don't go any farther. Luca is driving back home."
"Why should she drive that man back?” Amur was angry and shoved his hand away.
Jason shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "It's Mr. Crawford's request, and Dr. Craw accepted it. That'sthe reason."
