Luke picked up a white bra and a white underwear with cartoons for her.Meanwhile in the manor, Grandpa was already asleep in the room. His breathing sounded thicker than a normal young man’s, while everything else was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.Bianca could not fall asleep, so she tossed and turned.She thought about how she had to convince Grandpa to leave tomorrow.After leaving, should she let Grandpa stay at home or admit him to the hospital?If she brought him to the hospital, which hospital should she choose? She could not let Grandpa stay in the same hospital as Dad.While she was scratching her head over these thoughts, she heard something outside.A car drove into the villa.She wondered who it was since it was so late. ‘Did Luke come back? Or is it Louis?’After about five minutes, there were footsteps coming upstairs. They sounded calm and powerful.When the door was pushed open, Bianca, who was under the blanket, knew that Luke was back.The foo
In order to avoid and run away from him, Bianca had quickly set up a blind date and was considering getting married to a man she felt she could get along with.Luke could no longer restrain his raging anger. He stared her down. "Am I the plague? Why are you using this method of rejection?”Bianca started to get nervous after being stared down by him. She shook her head and lied. "You’re not a plague, but someone like you has never been what I want in a partner. I merely used you to satisfy my vanity. After I got my revenge on Jean, my conscience finally spoke to me and now I’m retreating. There’s no wrong in that, unless you’re fine with me using you for the rest of your life?”Luke was not the plague in her eyes but something more than that.They had worked together and eaten together. Although they did not show their love publicly as they needed to look professional as an employer and employee, she could accept all that.However, forcing herself to approach other men to get hers
"An accident? What happened?" Bianca's voice changed with horror."He… He said he’s going to jump off the building… He doesn't want to live anymore!" The nanny pleaded, "Ms. Bianca, please come and help!”Bianca said, "Let me talk to him.”The nanny called out to Lanie.When Bianca walked out of her neighborhood, the nanny spoke into the phone again, "Young Master doesn't want to get on the phone. He said he must see you in person.""Don't worry, he won't jump." Bianca comforted the panicked nanny. "I've heard of teenagers who failed the college entrance examination jumping off buildings and I've also heard of adults jumping off buildings for various reasons. However, I’ve never heard of such young kids wanting to jump off a building."When the nanny heard what she said, she replied, "Alright, Ms. Bianca. I’ll go upstairs to see Young Master again."Bianca said okay."If the little guy makes trouble again, call his father, or grandma, or grandpa, or his uncle..."There were ma
When she heard what the nanny said, Rainie got so scared that she walked over and hugged Aunt Bea. "What are we going to do? Daddy’s back.”The nanny was also embarrassed that she had to ask Bianca for help."If he asks, tell him that I’m the one who brought it,” Bianca said."Thank you for being considerate, Ms. Bianca. My two sons are still studying. I really can't afford to lose this job." The nanny looked back at the corridor. When she turned around, she squeezed her hands nervously."I understand."Bianca glanced at the instant mac and cheese that was almost ready. The smell was everywhere. If Luke came in, he would have smelled it. Therefore, even if she threw it away now, he would still find out about it.It was better not to throw it out.Luke did not let his kids eat junk food because he was a young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Even if he used to live in a place like Luojiazhen, he was still a rich boy.Quite often, the lifestyle habits of weal
"I'll be going later. He hasn't gotten off work yet." While Bianca said that, one minute had passed and the microwave oven dinged.Luke stood behind her about a meter away while he thought about the way Bianca talked about the guy.The guy represented another man who was about to enter her life.Bianca did not dare to overthink it because she was afraid that her emotions would get out of control. Therefore, she made herself focused on making the mac and cheese.It was the method of cooking that she learned online.After the timer was up, she tore open another pack of seasoning and put it in the bowl. She stirred it a little and put it back in the microwave for two more minutes.When the two minutes were up, she took out the bowl, beat in the cheese, and put it into the microwave for another minute again.Luke, who stood behind her the whole time, suddenly started daydreaming that they were newlyweds and that she was his new wife who was cooking food for her husband. In his day
Luke tightened his grip on the steering wheel while his other hand had a cigarette in between his fingers. He put his arm out the window not to put out the ash but to wave at his son to come over. The little guy ignorantly walked over. Luke looked at his son with a deep look. "Do you think that she'll be your mommy just because you ask her to?" The little guy scratched his head with confusion. When he realized what Daddy meant, he pouted. He realized what reality was and lowered his head in disappointment. "I get it. She doesn't want to be our mommy." When he saw how disappointed his son looked, he furrowed his brows and looked at the sky far in the distance. His thin lips parted as he took a drag of his cigarette. His kid was no longer blocking his car, so the black Range Rover drove off. When the little guy got to the living room, he sat his butt on the sofa as he swung the tiny slippers off his feet sadly. "What happened? Why the sad face?” Louis, who had been in hidin
A black Bentley RV drove on the highway with a winding path.The two children sat in the back of the RV.Rainie had a carton of milk in her hand, taking a sip from time to time.While Jason drove, he glanced at the two children in the back seat from the rearview mirror. Next to the children was a SpongeBob Squarepants suitcase.Blanche had packed the suitcase and looked like he was running away from home.Jason did not know what to do with the child’s behavior and he did not know whether he should report it to his boss.After thinking about it on the way, Jason decided not to call the boss. He decided to see Ms. Bianca's situation and how she reacted before he explained it to his boss."I won't go back anyway. What about you?" Blanche asked his sister."I won't go back either. Living in an orphanage is better than staying at home." Rainie had enough living in that big house without seeing Daddy. Moreover, she had enough of the two grandmas who constantly argued and fought.The
When the little guy threw himself at Bianca, she was thrown off balance and fell on a cushion.No matter how hard she tried to control herself, her heart still beat uncontrollably. Her heartbeat clearly told her how nervous and scared she was then."Boohoo..." Blanche cried desperately. His tiny and short stature made him look even more pitiful.Bianca patted the little guy and looked at the thick bandage wrapped around his knee. She had seen some blood stains on it from the moment she saw him.However, the fact that the cast was removed meant that he was not injured too badly."Are you okay?" Brayden was worried about Bianca's fall.Fortunately, Brayden reacted quickly and placed a soft cushion underneath her.When Brayden glanced at the child, he was about to persuade the child that if he had a problem, he should talk about it with his dad and not to hold on to a stranger.However, before Brayden could say anything, his phone rang."Hello, Mr. Larson," Brayden answered.Mr.
“You don’t like eating outside food, do you?” Luca thought that preparing breakfast and dinner for him was not a big deal.Besides, the main point was that Luke did not like eating out. He always felt the taste was off and lacked nutrition.“Actually, it’s not that I don’t like eating out. It's just that all the food outside tastes the same to me.” Luke gently squeezed her hand.“Hey, focus on driving.” Luca chuckled.Luke withdrew his hand and returned it to the steering wheel. “With that woman around, it wouldn’t be convenient for you to cook. Are you really going to make breakfast for them too?”If that happened, it would defeat the purpose of his plan.Luca thought for a moment. She did not mind ignoring Sophian, but if she cooked for Luke and not for Allison, that might not sit well with her. Allison could easily make a fuss over even the smallest details. “So, should we just eat out for breakfast and dinner from now on?”“Yes.” Luke did not mind.It did not matter where t
“Something I like?” Luca laughed. “What could that be?”“You’ll find out when we get there.” Luke kept it mysterious.“Alright then, I’ll wait for your surprise, Mr. Crawford.” Luca was in good spirits without letting family issues dampen her mood. Therefore, she video-called the kids.Luca dialed Mr. Griffin’s number.After Mr. Griffin answered the call, he handed the phone to Lanie. “Young Master Lanie, Ms. Craw wants to talk to you.”“Thank you, Mr. Griffin.” Lanie took the phone and pressed ‘accept’.Luca positioned the camera to include both her and Luke. She waved at the screen. “Lanie, Rainie, Tommy, what are you all doing?”“Lanie! Lanie, I want to talk to Ms. Luca!” Tommy waved excitedly at the camera, eager to take the phone.Lanie handed it to him. “Go on, tell Daddy and Ms. Luca about your good news.”Luca smiled and asked with curiosity. “Good news?”“Daddy, Ms. Luca, I made it to the next level in the math competition! The finals are this Saturday!” Tommy said e
“Why are you being so slow?” Allison was irritated. She shoved the products into Sophian’s hands.“I told you to use them, so just use them.” Allison ran out of patience. After urging Sophian, she lay back down.Sophian had no choice but to follow her instructions and poured out some product. The texture of the product in her palm made her pause for a moment. It was incredibly moisturizing!She gently patted it onto Allison's face and noticed the area she touched felt just as smooth.Allison let out a content sigh. “This essence is really soothing.”Even though Sophian was still worried about potential side effects, she could not help but admire the instant hydrating effect. She asked in a low voice, “Madam Allison, is this really developed by that woman?”She could not believe that Luca had such skills and wondered if the essence had just been repackaged into another bottle and sold as her own creation.“That's what she says,” replied Allison. “But she's into pharmaceuticals, s
After agreeing to become the maid, Sophian’s excitement gradually turned into anxiety.The villa was so large. Could she really handle all the tasks a maid was supposed to do?As she thought about it, she accidentally left the bread in the toaster for too long. After serving it to Allison, she was scolded.“What’s this? It’s just a slice of toast. How could you burn it like this? How am I supposed to eat it?” Allison was clearly displeased.Sophian awkwardly explained, “Madam Allison, this is my first time using this toaster. I didn’t quite get the temperature right...”Allison was about to keep complaining but paused for a moment, remembering that Sophian was the one she had brought in to be the maid. Now, she was the only one who could make breakfast for her. She disdainfully tore off the burnt part and took a bite. “Where’s the soy milk?”“It’ll bring it out,” replied Sophian, heading back to the kitchen. She brought out two glasses of soy milk and another slice of toast tha
“Are you planning to tell me that Madam Allison brought someone back?” Luca had a feeling she knew what was going on. Luca had been wondering why Allison had taken such a big risk by going out during the day, but it all made sense now.“Yes, she brought someone back and said she'll be taking over my job,” Aunt Neile replied helplessly. She was worried she had lost her competitive edge, which made her feel anxious.“I got it, Aunt Neile.” As soon as Luca spoke, there was a cheer from inside the lab. She glanced back and saw that there seemed to be progress in the research. Rhett gave her a thumbs-up to signal success.She slightly smiled and nodded before hearing Aunt Neile's voice again on the phone. “Ms. Craw, there’s something I’d like to say, though I’m not sure if I should. I’ve thought about it, and I feel like I should. Even though Mr. Crawford isn’t the type to fool around, you have to be careful. He has no interest in that woman, but she’s clearly interested in him. You sh
Allison watched the two of them go upstairs, and instantly, her temper flared.Not allowed, huh?Allison refused to believe it. She would find a way to turn things around and reclaim her position in this family!…The next morning, as Luke and Luca came downstairs, they noticed Aunt Neile looking at them with red, puffy eyes.“Aunt Neile, what happened?” Luca was puzzled. What happened?“Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, Madam Allison just told me that I’m fired.” Aunt Neile looked distraught. She thought Allison’s words yesterday were just a joke, but first thing in the morning, she was told to settle her wages and leave. She was completely stunned.“Mr. Crawford, did I do something wrong?”Luke’s brows furrowed. Allison’s behavior was truly astonishing.“You’re not fired,” replied Luke. “Is breakfast ready?”Relieved to hear she still had her job, Aunt Neile quickly wiped away her tears and let out a sigh of relief. “Yes. Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, please have a seat. I’ll bring it out.
Luke was driving back home with Luca. It was already 9:00 pm when they arrived at the villa.Just as they reached the foyer and had not taken more than a few steps, Allison's voice rang out.“Oh, so you're finally willing to come back from Crawford Manor?” Her voice was dripping with sarcasm.Luca did not know how to respond to Allison and looked over at Luke.Luke let go of Luca's waist and whispered, “Go upstairs first.”“Okay.” Luca nodded, changed her shoes, and was about to head upstairs when Allison said again, “Stop. Who told you to go upstairs?”“Madam Allison, is there something you need?” Luca's tone was cold, carefully masking the helplessness inside her.Since she learned that Allison would be returning to the country and moving here, Luca had mentally prepared herself to be put in a difficult position. She loved Luke, so she was willing to tolerate whatever troubles came with it.Luca believed that as long as she and Luke faced things together, there was nothing th
After finishing work, Luca headed straight to Crawford Manor.When she arrived and greeted Old Master Crawford, the three kids came running down the stairs and surrounded her. They each took turns expressing how much they missed her and Luke.Luca missed them too, so after exchanging a few words with Old Master Crawford, she went upstairs with the kids to help them with their homework.It did not take long before Luke arrived.Not seeing Luca in the living room, he asked Old Master Crawford, “Grandpa, has Luca arrived?”Old Master Crawford was in a good mood. He nodded and replied, “She's upstairs, helping the kids with their homework.”Luke sat on the couch and watched the evening news with Old Master Crawford.“Has your mother caused any trouble lately?” asked Old Master Crawford.“Not really,” answered Luke. He could still manage Allison.“That doesn’t sound like her,” added Old Master Crawford, assuming Allison would always be causing trouble.“Her condition is bad right
“What do you mean ‘suppose so?” Allison hated vague answers like that. The more uncertain she was about how Old Master Crawford felt about Luca, the more she wanted to know.“Where's the car key?” asked Allison.“Madam Allison, what do you need the car keys for?” asked Aunt Neile, already knowing the answer but trying to delay her.“Of course, I’m going to Crawford Manor. Old Master Crawford is the strictest with Luke, and I can't let him ruin everything because of a woman." Allison was already planning ahead. She was worried that the old master would not like how Luke was behaving and that he might strip him of his power. A wave of panic washed over her.“Madam Allison, it’s already too late to go to Crawford Manor now,” Aunt Neile quickly said. “If you drive over there now, they’ll already be having dinner. If you go now, Old Master Crawford will just scold you for being disrespectful. You just came back. It’d be better not to upset him, right?”Allison paused for a moment.
