Bianca stood next to Luke and watched the footage of Tommy sneaking away. She was unhappy about what she saw. Was Tommy giving her trouble by running away from home at this juncture? She might be unhappy, but she managed to conceal her emotions. She placed a hand on Luke's shoulder and showed a worried expression. "What should we do now, Luke?" Luke had been replaying the security footage. The cameras could only track Tommy until the front gate. Beyond that, Luke did not know where he went. He was incredibly frustrated. "We'll have to find him." Tommy was still young. Where could a young child possibly go? However, Luke was worried precisely because Tommy was a young child. He called Jason on his phone to look for Tommy immediately. Bianca looked at Luke's gloomy expression. He did not say it, but she could tell that he knew the reason why Tommy ran away. She began to blame herself. "It's all my fault. Tommy is still so small, I shouldn't have scolded him. He's my son too…"
The butler could only do what he was told. "Give Dr. Cairn a call." "Yes," the servant picked up the phone and made a call to the Crawford family doctor. The other two caretakers carried Bianca upstairs and placed her on the bed. While the entire Crawford Manor was in chaos because of Tommy's disappearance, the culprit was enjoying himself. After his shower, he stepped out of the bathroom and smelled the fragrance of food. That made his stomach growl loudly. Luca seemed to have sensed Tommy behind her, and she turned her head around. She smiled when she saw Tommy standing at the kitchen door and said, "Are you done with your shower? Go and sit at the dining table. I've prepared some warm milk for you. You can drink that first, I'm almost done." "You're so nice, Miss." Tommy giggled, turned around, and sat on the chair. He took a sip of the milk that she had prepared for him, then turned his head to look at the woman in the kitchen. He liked the place, and he liked that wo
"Yes, Miss. I promise that I won't leave the house!" Tommy held up both of his hands and promised solemnly. His father would not find him so easily if he did not step out. "Good boy!" Luca patted his head. Of course, she knew her son very well. Tommy was not someone who could sit still. To ensure that he could stay with her for a longer period, Luca decided to tell him to stay in the house. If she let Tommy out, Luke's subordinates would easily find him. Tommy thought for a while and continued asking, "How would you know that I'd be discovered by my Daddy's subordinates if I go out? Do you know who my Daddy is?" "Who is your Daddy?" Luca pretended that she did not know. "He is…" Tommy paused and grunted angrily. "Never mind, let's not talk about him. He's a big baddie." "Don't say that. I'm sure that your Daddy loves you very much. Who knows that it might only be a misunderstanding? As for how I know that your Daddy has subordinates, I can tell that from your clothes."
After Tia closed the bedroom door, she sat down on the couch and waited for Bianca to wake up. She felt quite bored. She looked around the room and chuckled slightly. Nothing in the room indicated that Luke stayed in the same room as Bianca. Tia was quite happy to find out about that. As loyal as Luke might be, he would not be able to accept the woman with such a tarnished past. It was a miracle that Bianca remained in the Crawford household despite what she had been through. After all, her existence was a humiliation to Luke. The more Tia thought about it, the more indignant she got. Bianca, lying on the bed, did not hear any movement and decided to be done with her act. She slowly opened her eyes and groaned in pain to tell Tia that she was awake. "Ugh…" When Tia heard that, she stood up and looked at Bianca on the bed. "You're awake, Mrs. Crawford." She might have utter contempt for Bianca, but she did not show that on her face. Bianca sat up and looked at Tia. She
Luca went to the kitchen and made dinner for Tommy. She did not have many food ingredients left, so she had to be extra creative with the eggs. She remembered that Tommy was not very fond of eggs, and she had to be very meticulous so that Tommy would eat. An hour later, the fragrance of food wafted out of the kitchen. Tommy wore the slippers that Luca had prepared for him and ran toward the kitchen. He stood at the door and blinked. "It smells really good, Ms. Luca." Luca was wearing an apron. She turned her head and smiled. She was standing in front of the window, and Tommy could only see her silhouette because of the lighting. Tommy was stunned. 'Why does she look so familiar…' Luca did not notice the change in his expression. She said, "Go and wash your hands, Tommy. Dinner will be ready soon." "Yes, Ms. Luca!" Tommy's eyes were like crescent moons when he smiled. He bumbled over to the bathroom and washed his hands. Luca brought the food out of the kitchen. Tommy wa
Luca came out of the kitchen with a plate of sliced apples. Tommy was sitting on the couch wagging his legs while watching the cartoon on the television. He behaved as though he was at home instead of a stranger's house. Luca smiled and put the plate on the coffee table. "I only have apples in my fridge. I'll go to the supermarket tomorrow and buy your favorite fruits." "Thank you, Ms. Luca!" Tommy said. He picked up an apple slice with a toothpick but did not eat it. Instead, he handed it to Luca. "You should eat some too!" Luca smiled sweetly seeing how sensible Tommy was. She took the toothpick and said, "Thank you, Tommy." Tommy could see the warm glow in Luca's eyes and could not help but lean closer. "Ms. Luca, can I lean on you?" Luca was taken aback, but she soon knew what Tommy wanted. She smiled and nodded. "Of course." Tommy inched closer to her carefully in case she was uncomfortable. Luca ate the apple and picked him up with both hands. "Come and lean on me
Tommy did not get a response from her. He asked again, "Ms. Luca?" Luca came to her senses and made up an excuse. "I'm sure that a cute boy like you must have a godmother. Any woman would want you to be her godson." Tommy grinned. "Why don't you be my godmother, Ms. Luca?" Luca did not know how to react to that. It was quite ridiculous to think that her biological son would become her godson. "You'll have to ask your parents about that," she tried to stall with an excuse, hoping that Tommy would forget about the issue in a couple of days. "Alright, I'll ask Daddy about it then." Tommy nodded and committed it to heart. The woman in front of her gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He wanted to see her more often. Luca pinched his plump cheek. "Didn't you say that you're sleepy? Why aren't you sleeping yet?" "Good night, Ms. Luca." Tommy curled up in Luca's embrace and closed his eyes. Luca did not move. As she heard the child's breathing become calm and rhyth
The footage from the surveillance cameras showed that Tommy was seen in the area. Jason had brought the bodyguards from Crawford Manor to look for him. After Luca walked far away, she turned around to look at Jason and the bodyguards busy at work. She turned away and hastened back home. Back at the apartment, Tommy had already woken up and washed his face. He was sitting in the living room, waiting for Luca to return. When he saw Luca come in through the door, he exclaimed in surprise, jumped off the couch, and ran toward her. "You're back, Ms. Luca!" Luca was holding things in both of her hands, and she had to close the door with her foot. Her heart warmed when she saw that the child was so excited to see her, and she led Tommy to the dining table. "You must be hungry. I bought a little bit of everything, so you can eat whatever you like." She could not tell what Tommy liked to eat, so she took the extra effort to make sure that he received enough nutrition. "I'll eat anyt
