“I have to do as Vivian wishes," replied Luke. Although Luke being kidnapped to the Island of Despair was indirectly related to
Vivian, he had never blamed her for it.
Vivian was visually unappealing, but she had a kind heart, and she deserved to be treated better.
However, Gordan did not know how to appreciate her inner beauty. That was why it was good for the two of them to separate.
Since they had separated, they should not see each other anymore.
"If I didn't know how much you loved Sis, I'd have suspected that ugly woman cast a spell on you and made you fall for her,"
Gordan mumbled in a depressed tone. He could not understand why everyone was siding with Vivian.
Luke and Luca were on her side.
He was the true victim, okay?! Not only had he wasted a couple of years, but he also had to be humiliated when he got divorced.
Luke gave Gordan a death stare.
He should not have said such nonsense.
Although Luca would not misunderstand him, they were at the office now. Those who had bad intentions might start a rumor
about it in the office if they heard it.
Gordan retracted his neck and said, "I didn't mean to say that. Besides, there's no one here. Jason won't tell others about it
either. Don't worry, Sis won't hear those rumors and misunderstand you."
"You should zip your mouth," Luke warned him in a cold voice.
Gordan would get into trouble sooner or later with that mouth of his.
Gordan could feel the temperature in the air abruptly drop. He secretly mumbled that it must be because he was sitting beside
Luke. He turned to look at Jason and asked, "Jason, don't you feel cold working here?"
Jason understood what Gordan meant, but it was not him who made Luke unhappy. Hence, he might as well pretend not to know
about it. "Mr. Norton, do you mean the temperature in the office isn't warm enough? Do you need me to raise the temperature for
you?"
"Luke, if you don't make arrangements for me, I'll come to your office and sit here every day," said Gordan.
Luke was fine with it, and he said unconcernedly, "Sure. I happen to need a bodyguard. Although you're not as good as Gale, it'll
be enough."
“You..." Gordan paused for a moment. He was afraid that he would get kicked out by Luke if he swore at him. Therefore, he
corrected himself embarrassedly, “I'm a guest, your guest."
Luke ignored him and continued to work on the documents.
Two hours later.
Everyone in the T Corporation who was working overtime had gotten off work. Luke and Jason had almost finished handling all
the documents as well.
“Boss, I'm leaving first." Jason closed the last file and said to Luke.
“Okay. You can arrive an hour late tomorrow." Luke gave Jason more time to rest.
“Thank you, Boss." Jason nodded.
Luke looked up at the sofa. Gordan, who was sitting there a moment ago, was already feeling sleepy. He leaned on the sofa and
yawned.
Luke walked toward Gordan and kicked the leg off the sofa, saying, "Wake up."
Gordan woke up in a daze. He picked up the phone, glanced at the time, and mumbled, “It's already this late."
“Wake up. I'm going back." Luke looked at Gordan, who slept like a log. Did he really think this was a hotel?
How could Gordan sleep like that? He did not feel embarrassed at all.
“I don't feel like moving, Luke. Your sofa is comfortable. Let me spend the night here." Gordan turned over.
Luke frowned when Gordan seemed like he wanted to stay here. “I'm a neat freak. Besides, this is not a refugee shelter. Which
hotel are you staying in? I'll send you back."
Luke did not want to see Gordan lying here when he came back to work tomorrow.
It was difficult for Luke to accept a man who did not take a shower lying here in his office.
Gordan sat up on the sofa. He initially thought of spending the night here, but he was worried that he might cross Luke's line.
After all, everyone knew that Luke was a neat freak.
Gordan rose to his feet, shook his head, and said, "I'm staying in the hotel nearby. You don't have to send me back. I drove
here."
After that, he left the office.
Luke carried the briefcase with him and left together.
The two of them walked into the elevator. Luke asked, “Are you sure you're not going to work?"
Gordan mocked himself and said, “I've divorced. My net worth has skyrocketed. Why should I work? Do you have any idea how
much the value of that villa is? It cost a hundred of millions. How much work do I have to do to get so much money? How should
I put this? I'm a billionaire now. Are you envious of me?"
Luke remained silent while listening to him speaking in a slovenly manner.
Then, Gordan said in a distressed voice, “But that's not what I asked for, and no one believes it."
Gordan had been looking for Vivian to talk to her about the villa that was worth over a hundred million.
The elevator came to the first floor. Luke said in a cold voice, "Many people would like to buy that villa of yours. If you really don't
want it, you can donate the money to charity after selling it. You can donate it in your or her name. There's always a way to get
rid of that villa. Gordan, you'd better think carefully. Are you doing all this because you don't want the villa, or is it because you
don't want your relationship to end that easily?”
Gordan was startled for a moment. His face turned red as he immediately denied it. “No, that's not true. Luke, don't talk
nonsense. I have nothing to do with her now!”
"Really?" Luke's voice was still cold. The elevator door slowly opened when the elevator arrived on the first floor. Then, he said,
"You parked your car at the outdoor parking lot, right? We've arrived on the first floor."
“Yeah. See you tomorrow." Gordan left the elevator in a hurry. It was as though he had been exposed, so he was in a hurry to
escape.
Luke watched him leave from behind and pressed the elevator button. After he arrived at the basement parking lot, he drove
back to the villa.
It was already two in the morning when he arrived at the villa.
There was dead silence in the villa. Luca and the kids must be asleep...
Luke walked into the foyer. There was a lamp lit up for him.
The corner of his thin lips curled up. There was a faint smile on his face.
Luke took off his coat and his scarf and hung them on the hanging stand. He noticed the note on top of the shoe shelf in the
foyer that Luca left for him.
He picked it up and saw Luca's beautiful handwriting on it: [There's warm butternut squash soup in the kitchen. Remember to
drink it.]
Luca even left some soup for him.
Luke's smile widened. He put his briefcase on the sofa and walked into the kitchen. He found the bowl of soup Luca left for him.
She had been keeping it warm, and it really was warm.
After Luke finished the soup, he carried the briefcase upstairs.
When Luke came to the second floor and saw a lit lamp, he frowned.
Vivian was sitting on the sofa.
He walked toward her and asked, "Vivian, why aren't you asleep?"
"Mr. Crawford, you're back.." Vivian stood up and explained, "I'm having jet lag. I can't sleep."
"You've arrived at A City for some time now. You haven't gotten rid of it?" Luke refused to believe her.
"..." There was a gleam in Vivian's eyes. She did not know how to lie to others, especially Luke and Ray.
