Luca thought Jack was acting a little weird.
In the past, Jack had always been polite to her, but today, he was welcoming and kind.
That was how he acted toward her when she was still Bianca.
Luca nodded and sat on the chair.
Jack looked at her delicate facial features. Her looks were significantly different from what she used to look like. 'In the past few
years, she has been controlled by a mysterious organization and was even forced to change her face. She must have suffered a
lot...'
He was distressed and could not help but blame himself for not protecting Luca well enough.
Luke cleared his throat. After Jack found out that Luca was his daughter, his mentality must have changed. However, the change
should not be too obvious so as to not arouse Luca's suspicions.
"Father-in-law, I've already ordered some dishes to share. They're home-cooked dishes. I also ordered a bottle of wine," he said.
"Did you go over the budget?" Jack came to his senses. He was deep in thought looking at Luca just now.
"No, don't worry," Luke said. As a politician, it was normal for Jack to lead by example.
"It's alright, Luca. I asked Luke to help me organize this dinner because I want to thank you." Jack found an excuse to see her.
"Thank me?" Luca was stunned. She had not done anything for the Norman family recently, so why did he want to thank her?
Jack explained, "You've been helping the Norman family all this time, treating your Aunt Queenie and..."
He paused, glanced at Luke, and continued, "You've helped us so much, but I haven't even bought you a meal. Hence, I asked
Luke to help arrange this."
Luca suddenly realized that it was because of this...
"Uncle Jack, you're too kind. You and Mrs. Norman have previously invited me to eat at Norman Residence. That's good
enough."
"How could that be? You saved their lives. A simple meal won't do," Jack said. He was not exaggerating at all. Luca did save
Queenie and Leia.
He and Queenie never thought that the person who saved them was Bianca.
It was a pity that Queenie could not find out about Luca's current identity. If she knew that their daughter was by her side, she
would be relieved.
Luca noticed how insistent Jack was, so she nodded and asked, "Where's Mrs. Norman?"
"She has something to attend to, so she couldn't come today," Jack said. He did not inform Queenie that he planned to meet with
Luca. Queenie had been tired from taking care of Leia. She brought dinner to the hospital for Leia this evening, as she usually
did for the last couple of days.
Luca nodded, guessing that Queenie was busy with Leia.
She was a little upset.
After all, Queenie had been overworked.
Luke rang the bell and asked the waiter to start serving. When the dishes arrived, Jack was satisfied. He nodded and talked to
Luca warmly.
Luca felt a little uncomfortable.
Jack normally treated outsiders with a lukewarm attitude. He would be gentle and refined while maintaining a certain distance
from others.
After they ate, Jack watched Luca for a while before he left.
Luca followed Luke to the counter, and after they left the hotel, she could not help but say, "Today..."
"What?" Luke turned around to look at her.
In the dark night, his body was entirely shrouded by the light from the streetlamps. When he looked at her, the light in his eyes
flickered.
She forgot to speak.
Seeing how she was looking at him as if she was infatuated, he was secretly happy. He asked again, "What?"
Luca came back to his senses and explained, "Mr. Norman seemed a little abnormal today..."
"Did he?" Luke was happy. As his woman, she was observant, delicate, and sensitive. In his opinion, Jack did a good job of
hiding his emotions but she still noticed the abnormality.
"Yes, it didn't feel right." Luca nodded. She wanted to say that Jack was more enthusiastic toward her but it would seem strange
to say that to Luke.
"You're overthinking it. Can you drive?" Luke asked as he walked to his car. He had a few drinks with Jack.
Jack had a driver to pick him up but Luke did not arrange for his driver to drive today. From what he recalled, Bianca could drive.
"I haven't driven for a long time..." Luca said. She was embarrassed.
"It's okay. I can't drive after drinking, so you drive." Luke shoved the keys into her hand.
Luca had to go to the front of the driver's seat, unlock the car, and open the car door.
Luke's seat was adjusted for his height. Luca took some time to adjust it before she found a comfortable driving position.
She sneaked a glance at the man in the passenger seat and found that he had already buckled his seat belt and was sitting
there comfortably. He was watching her adjust her seat and waiting for her to drive.
Luca put her briefcase in the backseat, buckled her seat belt, and headed for the villa.
Halfway through the ride, her phone rang.
Luke glanced at the back. She had put her phone in her briefcase and was not wearing Bluetooth earphones.
"Do you want to pick that up?"
"No, I'll call back later," Luca said. She had not driven for a long time and did not want to be distracted. After all, her life and
Luke's life were on the line.
Luke listened to her and ignored it.
The phone rang a few times, and there were two text notifications.
Luke raised his eyebrows. ‘Who would look for Luca at this hour?'
Luca was not bothered by it and drove the car intently.
After she parked the car in the parking lot of the villa, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she still remembered how to drive
and got them home safely...
She took out her phone and glanced at the time. Those who were up now were likely partying or drinking. After all, it was already
ten o'clock in the evening...
She did not expect Jack and Luke to have so much to talk about.
She opened her call log and found that Enoch Campbell was the one who called her...
She checked her texts and they were from Enoch as well...
He called her at this hour only for one purpose, to ask her out...
Enoch had been taking the initiative to chat with her. Although she had told him many times that she was busy with work, Enoch
was still interested. She did not respond with much enthusiasm but he would still insist on chatting with her every day.
Moreover, during this period, he had also asked her out several times.
Luca glanced at Luke walking in front and could not help but be worried. She would never have caused such trouble for herself if
she had been careful enough and Queenie did not get suspicious.
She touched her face. After plastic surgery, her facial features were more refined, so she was more liked by men.
Luca was puzzled.
Her phone vibrated again. It was another text.
Luca glanced at it. Enoch had set her a voice note.
