When Valentina woke up from her short nap, she was sitting in front of the Grayson house. As her eyes slowly opened, she noticed that instead of sitting in the passenger seat, Duncan was sitting on the driver's side while the driver stumbled out of the car, seeming as if he was about to throw up.

Quickly blinking to wake herself up, she gave him a quick smile, "Good morning."

"It's afternoon."

Valentina: "......"

Duncan: "......"

Valentina could feel her face twitching.

Did this man have something against her? Narrowing her eyes at him and sticking her tongue out, she pulled out her phone and called Luca's tablet.

"Mommy!" a cheering voice rang out, and she could see his sparkling green eyes staring at her.

"Say, Auntie Luca." Valentina couldn't help but sigh, "Are you ready? Auntie is here to pick you up to see your dad."

"Yes! And I'm wearing the outfit we chose!"

"Okay. Come outside."

Hanging up, she quickly opened the car door herself. As she stepped out of the car, the moment she began walking toward the front door, a little figure dashed toward her at full speed. Before the figure could reach her, Duncan quickly exited the car and snatched Luca up, holding him in the air.

As the young boy glared angrily at the strange man holding him up while kicking his feet, Valentina couldn't help but laugh at his sulky face.

"Let me go. You-you- meanie!"

Holding her hands out, she laughingly told Duncan, "Here, give him to me. I don't know where the driver is, but if you could grab a car seat for him, that would be amazing. Luca, be nice with your words."

"We will be taking a different car since this one is compromised. Here." Duncan reported a cold voice.

As he handed her Luca, she staggered a bit under his sudden weight before steadying herself and placing him on the ground. As he tried to cling to her while glaring at Duncan, she squatted down and pinched his cheeks while holding him at arm's length.

"My little nugget. You look so handsome! Did you add the patches yourself? Do a spin for me." she cheered for him as he spun around.

At his shy nod, while blushing, she cheered for him once more before taking a couple of photos and sending them to Kaiser. Honestly, she thought he looked very cute.

She had chosen some black cargo pants with yellow straps that allowed patches to be placed on them and a cute yellow tech jacket with black detailing. He had on a white t-shirt with a yellow monster truck on it and a little white baseball cap. Along with his permanent diamond tennis bracelet and a little gold chain around his neck, he presented a very cute, childlike appearance, especially with all his little game character patches on his pants and jacket.

He had a little bookbag on his back, and as she glanced at it, he gave her a sweet smile.

"I have my tablet and snacks and juice. I'll share with you when you get hungry," he whispered in a very loud voice before glaring at Duncan.

"Thank you, my little nugget." Laughing at his little antics, she pinched his cheeks again.

As they got into the new yellow car that the driver brought out, Duncan and the driver were in the front while she and Luca were in the back. As they drove, Luca kept chatting with her about the dream he had, his breakfast, the things he saw outside, and how he missed her this morning. As she calmly replied, she had the realization that she hadn't told him she was leaving yet and might not be coming back to the house when she returned.
