“I think you two are a good match. Do you like my good friend of more than ten years?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Claire mentions Kate, Luke is stunned. This is the first time that Claire has mentioned Kate to him. What’s more, he doesn’t think about it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Every time Kate saw him, they fought. Luke has to deal with her. Kate is Claire’s friend. Luke doesn’t want to pursue her at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Later they contact several times. Although he thought Kate is a lovely woman and he really liked Kate at that time, he didn’t want to be her boyfriend. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Later, because of Conan’s exposure, he had a dispute with Kate. Their starting point is totally different, so Luke knows that Kate and he belong to two worlds. They have different ideas and can’t understand each other’s ideas. Of course, they can’t continue to communicate. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At that time, Luke’s little affection for Kate disappeared. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Thinking of what happened to him and Kate, Luke shakes his head and smiles. He says helplessly, “Claire, don’t make fun of me. I don’t have that kind of relationship with Kate.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Oh?” Claire frowns disapprovingly, and she says, “it’s impossible. I see the way you look at each other and get along. You’re a good match. Fighting can promote your feelings.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire explains for Kate, “she’s usually domineering. In fact, her heart is gentle. She says she hates you, but she doesn’t. She just hates Leo, so she’s biased against you. She is careless but actually she is very careful and considerate. She is a rare good girl.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They are both her friends. Kate has been her best friend for more than ten years. Luke helps her a lot. Claire knows they like each other so she can’t help asking him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire’s words really surprise Luke. He knows Kate is an interesting woman and that she is just careless on the surface. He didn’t expect Kate’s heart to be tender. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But even so, Luke doesn’t think they’re suitable for each other. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke shakes his head helplessly. He looks at Claire and says firmly, “no, Kate and I can be friends. We can’t be lovers. And I can’t touch her. If I annoy her, you won’t spare me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In order to make the atmosphere less dull, Luke begins to joke. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire frowns when she hears Luke’s words. It seems that Luke doesn’t like Kate. If Luke doesn’t like Kate, Claire can’t force it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Claire continues to listen. She can’t help chuckling and saying, “if you’re just worried about this, I can guarantee that if you dare to make Kate angry, the first one who can’t let you go is not me, but Kate herself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Then I’m more afraid to like Kate…” Luke immediately says with a smile. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Are you afraid of a woman, Luke?” Luke’s words make Claire suspect that he likes Kate but he is afraid of Kate’s temper. She can’t help but raise her eyebrows and say, “Kate has a bad temper, but she’s not a savage. Luke, are you afraid of your wife?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Thinking of this possibility, Claire can’t help chuckling. If it is true, it will be fun. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke looks gentle and polite to anyone. He shouldn’t be afraid of a woman. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing Claire’s words, Luke hears Claire’s ridicule and suspicion. He thinks his dignity as a man is being looked down upon. He just tells Claire that joke just to make the atmosphere less awkward. Unexpectedly, she misunderstands. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke coughs awkwardly. To preserve his dignity as a man, Luke says seriously, “no, I mean Kate is a good woman but I don’t deserve her. She should find a better man, so for Kate’s happiness, of course, I can’t pursue her.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You mean you like her but you dare not admit it?” Luke’s words make Claire think he is a man with low self-esteem. He thinks he doesn’t deserve the woman he loves, so he chooses to give in. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So when Claire hears Luke, her eyes immediately brighten. She looks at Luke excitedly and says happily, “don’t worry! You are an excellent and good-natured man. Why don’t you deserve Kate? If you don’t deserve her, who else can? You two can fall in love. I support you!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She really misunderstands… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke gets embarrassed. He’s really not good at explaining this. The more he explains, the more Claire thinks he likes Kate… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Forget it. He’d better not explain! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke realizes this and gets tough. He says seriously, “I really don’t like Kate! Don’t talk nonsense. By the way, you took care of Leo in the hospital for a day. You should be tired. Hurry up and go back to rest.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke’s tough attitude make Claire think he is shy and angry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire chuckles and doesn’t intend to expose Luke. After all, men have high self-esteem. She can’t embarrass him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire laughs and says, “Okay, I won’t make fun of you. Take care of Leo at the hospital tonight. Thank you for dinner.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, Claire takes the lunch box and wipes the place where she eats. She walks to the door with the garbage and turns to say goodbye to Luke. “Goodbye. If you change your mind, you can tell me. I’ll help you two create a chance to get along!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Stop,” Luke is speechless and stops her. He waves to Claire and says, “go back. Be careful on the way.” <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
