Luke quickly filters through the various dangers in his mind and finally explains vaguely, “this is the son of a friend of mine. He is staying at my house for a few days. Did you come here just now? Let’s have lunch together.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kate stares at him. Who is going to have lunch with you? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But she thinks of the lovely Conan beside Luke. She can’t scold Luke in front of the child, so she says helplessly, “OK, you can sit down, but you have to treat me to this meal!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No problem.” Kate and Conan don’t react very much. Luke is relieved and smiles happily. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kate sits up uneasily when she sees Luke’s smile. It suddenly occurrs to her that Conan joked that Luke likes her. Although she doesn’t take it seriously, Luke doesn’t take a direct stand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kate can’t help but wonder if Luke really likes her or doesn’t take it seriously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This damn man. Doesn’t she deserve him? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Kate won’t go on thinking about things she doesn’t understand. A minute later she throws away her doubts. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Two adults and a child have a harmonious lunch. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
During the whole process, Kate finds Conan lovely. His little face is red and she wants to squeeze it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kate really does it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Watching the two of them play together, Luke’s mood is inexplicably happy. He asks happily, “Conan, do you want to go to the playground? It’s a nice day today. It’s suitable for playing.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK!” Conan cheers happily. Before he finishes, Kate pinches his face again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ah, what a bore! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan can’t help thinking that if it isn’t for Uncle Luke’s happiness, he wants to expose himself. He’s smart so he knows what Luke’s worried about. He doesn’t explain because he wants the man, who is about thirty, to get married earlier. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although Kate looks careless, she also yearns for the playground. When she hears that they are going to play there, she cheerfully shouts, “I’m going to play too!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK, let’s go together.” Luke is happy Kate smiles at him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Conan is worried. Uncle Luke, don’t make it too obvious. You will scare the girls away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But thanks to Kate’s natural insensitivity to feelings, she doesn’t feel Luke’s abnormality. All her attention is now attracted by Conan, the cute little child. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So a man, a woman and a child rush to the playground happily. Screams and cheers fill the lively playground. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They play roller coasters, bungee jumping, bumper cars, pirate ships and haunted houses. Luke is worried that Conan will be scared, but he didn’t expect Conan to enjoy it so they have fun. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They don’t go back until evening. Luke invites Kate to dinner and drives her home, and Luke and Conan slowly get home. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After spending the afternoon together, Kate has made some changes to Luke. At least she is not so hostile to him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In a word, they are all happy and satisfied today. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On the other side of the city, only Claire is depressed. She is alone at home for a few days. Bryce once visits her and is relieved to learn that her foot is about to recover. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A few days later, Claire’s feet are about to be able to walk normally, so she begins to go to work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She wants to quit, but after a video call with her son that day, she calms down. Anyway, she needs Leo’s trust first. Then it is convenient for her to take her son away from him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Otherwise, it’s always troublesome. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After Claire goes to work, Leo just glances at her lightly and doesn’t react very much. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire’s ready for it. He takes care of his fiancee who is injured in a car accident, so he doesn’t have time to take care of her, an old ugly secretary. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire consciously goes back to work. She hasn’t come in a few days but her work is piling up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Almost noon Luke comes to Leo. They have a lot of business and a lot of things need to be negotiated by the two of them, so they have a close relationship. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seeing Claire busy, Luke smiles and walks over to lean on the front desk. He asks with a smile, “Claire, is your foot healing?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He’s been busy these days and hasn’t been to see Claire. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m fine. I can already go to work.” Claire says as she reads the files on her computer. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK. By the way, Leo doesn’t tell me about your son. I have no way. But don’t worry, I’ll find a chance to go to his house. I promise you that I will do it.” Luke says sincerely. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In fact, he is very guilty. These days, he does a lot of guilt and lies for Leo’s life-long happiness! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo, come on. I don’t want to keep lying! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke mutters to himself. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire freezes when she hears Luke. Then she says thoughtfully, “I see. It’s OK. I’ll find a chance to ask him. After all, you’re under a lot of pressure.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire seems to understand him, but Luke is frustrated. When is his efficiency so low? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He does his best for Leo! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke is thinking and talking to Claire in a relaxed way. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fortunately Claire is working on a simple file so her work is not delayed. The two have been talking. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So when Leo comes out and sees that they are chatting intimately, he is slightly upset. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Why does Luke always flirt with his secretary? Doesn’t he already have that beautiful woman? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke feels Leo’s anger and looks back. Then he smiles and waves to Claire and walks into Leo’s office. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
