When the waitress got back to her station, she saw the little boy tightly pulling the corner of Aunt Bea's clothes as he looked timidly at the big and tall father. The cold-looking dad with a stern face looked at the kid hiding behind Aunt Bea.Bianca crouched down and picked up Blanche’s two pairs of shoes, his cartoon toothbrush, his watch, a few scattered T-shirts, and shorts, packing them back into the square yellow suitcase.When Bianca closed the suitcase, she realized that the lock was broken."Excuse me, do you have tape here?" Bianca got up and asked the cashier."Yes, please wait for a minute. I'll look for it." The waitress lowered her head and started rummaging. She found it in the drawer.Bianca took it, crouched down, and wrapped the suitcase with the duct tape.In any case, the suitcase could no longer be repaired or reused, so she just focused on keeping the little guy's belongings inside it.She wrapped the suitcase nicely.Blanche lowered his head and said to
Bianca thought he must be crazy.Hopelessly insane!They were at Crawford Manor where his grandfather might come back at any time.There were also his other family members as well as the nanny who could appear at any time to witness this scene.However, what shocked her most was that she was being kissed by... Allison's biological child.He was her…‘No, this can't happen.‘It's too messed up.’"Let go! Let go of me!" Bianca shook her head, pushing against his body.His wet lips and tongue tried to entangle hers. When she tried to speak, he took the opportunity to go deeper into her and licked every sweet inch of her mouth.A strong masculine breath rushed toward her face, causing goosebumps to rise from her skin. It was a signal from her body telling her that she was in danger.As the man kissed her and gradually squeezed her toward the wall, she fought harder.However, her strength was no match for Luke’s. His dark face closed onto her lips again, giving her no room to br
"How about I show you what a good time really is?" Luke pushed her shirt up.His big hands pressed against her skin while his thin lips kissed the back of her head.He took a whiff of the fragrance of her hair.Bianca looked away. She panted as she said, "You're not going to let me go today, are you?"Luke used practical actions to tell her whether he would let her go.He lifted and pushed up her tight bodycon skirt.She was on full display for him and he was delighted.When she felt his fiery kisses on every inch of her body, methodically going closer, goosebumps rose all over her body. She was fighting with herself between her rational thinking and how much she was sinking into it.The fruit knife on the cabinet was in her view for a long time.What was left of her continued to stare at the fruit knife while the rest of her could not help but furrowed her brows and moaned slightly. Her body could not stand his teasing anymore, so her body inevitably started moving.As they
Bianca had lunch with Sue in the staff cafeteria.Yvonne only came to work after they were done with their lunch break."Sorry, I bought a tie for my boyfriend yesterday. There was traffic on the way when I sent it to him this morning and traffic on the way to the office," Yvonne told her colleagues and sat down with a satisfied smile on her face.Bianca looked up at Yvonne.Sue sent a message to Bianca and asked, ‘What’s the story behind Yvonne?’Since Bianca did not want to inflict drama between Sue and Yvonne, she honestly said, ‘Mr. Crawford’s mother is fond of her and treats her like her future daughter-in-law. However, I’m not sure about the specificity of her family background.’Sue read Bianca’s reply and raised her head to look at Bianca with surprise.Bianca continued working after replying to Sue.After a moment, it finally dawned on Sue. When she turned back to look at Yvonne, she saw that the latter had started playing with her nails after putting down her bag. Sue
"Ex-boyfriend?" Blanche was poking his steak with his knife. When he heard his uncle’s words, he raised his head and looked at him.Rainie also raised her head, blinking. Her thick, jet-black eyelashes were twinkling.After being stared at by his little nephew and little niece, Louis explained with embarrassment, "Yeah, ex-boyfriend. Uh… Just before your daddy, Aunt Bea’s boyfriend..."After he explained, he felt as if a cold knife had been thrown at him. When he looked up, it was Luke with the inexplicably injured arm.After Blanche and Rainie heard his explanation, they looked at Daddy together."Working in the same department as her ex-boyfriend? What a mess!" Susan chimed in.In the past few days, Susan had sort of been shooed out by her son. She was shooed off to play poker and cards, or shooed off to the cabin in the woods to get away from the city.Susan was not stupid and could guess why he did that.Allison's son had a woman, and when he brought her back to meet the fa
The man in the RV wore a black suit and a white shirt. He sat on the dark gray sofa and had his work laptop in front of him.He was focused as he stared at the constantly changing data on his screen. He said to his son in a busy tone, “If you’re having second thoughts about going in, we can go back.”When Blanche heard this, he immediately grabbed and hugged Jason's thigh. "Uncle Jason, bring me in."Jason patted the kid and smiled.The door of the RV was closed, and the vehicle was just parked at the entrance which was a no-parking spot.The exterior design of the RV made it seem extremely private and secured. The doorman was very polite and did not dare try to peer into the RV.As for the other cars, they could only stop behind because the black Bentley RV was blocking the road in front of the entrance. After their bosses got off, the drivers had to take a detour to drive away.The bosses who got off took a look at the RV with the eye-catching license plate number. However, th
After Sue reported the situation to Jason, she returned to the bathroom."Bea, wake up! Wake up!"No matter how Sue tried to wake or shake her, Bianca was still passed out with her head tilted, giving no reactions at all.Sue was terrified.Outside the bathroom, Jason notified his boss of the matter as soon as possible."Uncle Jason, can I go in?" Blanche was anxious, but boys could not enter the women's bathroom.Jason lowered his head. "Let’s wait for your father to come, then you can go in with him.”Every second felt like a year to Blanche as he stared in the direction of the elevator.Rainie let go of Uncle Jason's hand and slipped into the women's bathroom.She followed Aunt Sue’s voice. When she saw Aunt Bea sitting on the floor in the bathroom, she crouched down and hugged her neck with her two tiny fleshy hands. She frowned and started crying. "Aunt Bea, boohoo..."While Sue continued trying to wake Bianca up, she had to pat the child's head to comfort the kid as wel
Luke said nothing and nodded."But I want to sleep with Aunt Bea too." Rainie stared at her Daddy eagerly, pleading slightly with her eyes.In Rainie's eyes, Daddy had always been a very bossy and difficult adult.When Blanche got to the door, he heard his sister telling Daddy that she also wanted to sleep with Aunt Bea. He thought that his sister was too stupid and naive. Daddy would never allow it because everything was his alone, including Aunt Bea."Lanie, bring your sister back to her room." Luke was strict with his son but a little gentler with his daughter. Therefore, he ordered Blanche instead of Rainie.Blanche walked over without a word, grabbed his sister’s chubby hand, and said, "Come, let’s go to sleep."After his daughter was unwillingly brought out of the bedroom by her brother, Luke took off his suit jacket, held himself up on the edge of the bed with his hands, and stared intently at the sleeping woman on the bed.Rainie's room."Take a shower, I’ll wait for yo
“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.
