Chapter 3326 A Son Could Be A Father's Nemesis Luke was startled for a moment, feeling as though history was repeating itself.
Luca covered her mouth, laughing so hard she could barely catch her breath. Everything felt too coincidental. Suddenly, Luca recalled that there was this saying, a son could be a father's nemesis.
Tommy had interrupted them twice today.
Luke's expression turned dark as he turned around to look at his son. "Why aren't you in bed? What are you doing out here?" "Daddy, I just finished washing up. I really want a glass of water." Tommy then added, "The food at Crawford Manor was a bit salty this time, and I'm really thirsty." "I'll get you swater," said Luca as she headed downstairs.
Luke approached Tommy, looking down at him from above.
Realizing he had spoiled his parents' moment, Tommy gave a sheepish smile. "Daddy, I didn't mean to." "From now on, make sure to get yourself a glass of water before bed and keep it in the bedroom. No more running out for water all the time," Luke said to his son with a serious expression.
"Daddy, I really am thirsty, Tommy replied with a charming smile. "Oh, I promise I'll go to bed right after I drink this. I won't disturb you and Ms. Luca anymore." After that, he playfully stuck out his tongue.
"Let this be the last time. Make sure you have the water ready before bed," added Luke, remembering this was already the second time.
He suspected that his son had been eavesdropping at the door and cout intentionally when he heard something. However, that was just Luke's suspicion. He had no concrete evidence.
Luca brought a glass of water upstairs and saw the father and son standing at the top of the stairs. Luke was looking down at Tommy, while Tommy was looking up at Luke.
It was like a negotiation, and she did not even need to guess what Luke had told Tommy.
She smiled and squatted down in front of Tommy. "Here, drink swater." "Thank you, Ms. Luca!" Tommy took the glass and gulped it down.

After finishing most of the water, Tommy said, "Daddy, Ms. Luca, I'm going to bed now. Goodnight!" "Goodnight," Luca replied with a gentle smile.
Luke watched as Tommy carried the glass into his bedroom and calmly said, "Looks like the kid was really thirsty." "Do you think he'd lie?" Luca asked with a smile on her face.
Luke thought about how Tommy had lied the last time.
However, since he had promised not to tell her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and walked into the bedroom. "Luca, just getting one moment of romance has becsuch a difficult task." Luca's face instantly flushed red, and she gently punched his shoulder. However, she did not hit him too hard. Soon, the lovers were lost in each other's embrace.

"It's so nice here," Nina wrapped her arm around Percy's and exclaimed in a soft voice.
"Yeah, if you like it, we can chere every year for vacation," replied Percy. He had no real concept of vacation. He could easily work year-round, every single day.
However, if Nina liked this place, he would make tto accompany her.

"That would get boring! Once you have sfree time, let's try to explore other places too. We can leave our mark everywhere we go." Nina rested her head gently on his shoulder.
"Okay, whatever you say." Percy leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead. "From now on, we'll vacation every year, and each time, we'll go somewhere new. You choose the destination, and I'll take you there." "Sounds good." Nina smiled brightly.
"I'm also taking you withwhen I have business trips abroad," added Percy.
"Great!" Nina's smile widened.

"What about my domestic business trips? I'd love to take you along. After all, every city has its unique scenery, and I want to show you all of it." Percy expressed his love for Nina in the simplest way.
He wanted her by his side as he gazed at the beautiful scenery.
"Sure, but with all your business trips, I'm afraid Mr. Crawford might have an issue with that," replied Nina. Even if she had becMrs. Mallory, she had no plans to quit her job and beca housewife.

"I won't let that happen. I'll talk to him," said Percy. While he preferred Nina to be by his side, he also did not mind her having her own career.
Nina nodded in agreement.
At that moment, a foreign tourist approached them.
The tourist asked, "Hi, are you two a couple?" Percy lifted Nina's hand, showing off their wedding rings. "We're married." "That's amazing! You two are deeply in love, aren't you?" "Yes, we're deeply in love with each other." Nina smiled sweetly. Then, she glanced at Percy, who was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and their smiles grew even sweeter.
"Oh, that's so cool! Are you on your honeymoon?" "Yes." Percy nodded.

"Hmm?" She suddenly realized what he was about to do and felt her cheeks flush.
