Luca was surprised. She had not put too much thought into how she arranged her items, and she had done what she always did. Three years ago, Luke would occasionally step into the kitchen to watch her cook. He had even asked her about how she arranged the items, and she had patiently explained it to him… "Also?" Luca was flustered for a second, but she soon composed herself. She turned her head to look at him. "Have you seen someone else arrange her items like this?" "My wife," Luke said. "She used to arrange her items like this." Luca nodded. That was how she had arranged her items since she was young. Even though she had not stepped into the kitchen for three years, she could remember how to do it when faced with a variety of items. "I learned this method from the Internet. This way, I can efficiently find the things I want, and that'll help me cook faster. Not only that, but I also arrange my apparatus like this when I'm in the lab. I won't have to waste time looking for th
"Your food is amazing, Ms. Luca!" Tommy said cheerfully as he picked up a pork chop. Luca smiled and stole a glance at Luke. He was eating a fish fillet, and she could not discern his expression. She could tell if Luke was enjoying the food or not. Luke ate silently without saying a word. Not speaking while eating had been a good habit of his. Luca silently nibbled on a piece of broccoli. The only sounds around the dining table were from Tommy eating loudly. When the father and son fought over the last fish fillet, Luca could feel the rivalry between them. "There's more in the kitchen," she said, not expecting that the dish would be so popular. Luke was not going to fight his son for a fish fillet. He pulled his hand back, and Tommy gleefully took the fish fillet away. Luca hastily picked up the plate. "I'll go and get some more for you, Mr. Crawford." Luke shot a glance at her bowl and said. "Don't worry about it. You've been eating only vegetables." "Huh?" Luca re
Tommy skipped into the living room, and Bianca walked toward him and said gently. "You're back home so late, Tommy. Are you hungry?" Tommy could sense the reluctance in his mother's voice. He shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry." Bianca smiled. She was already used to Tommy's coldness toward her. She then turned to Luke and said, "I've saved some chowder for you, Luke. I'll heat it up for you." "Don't worry about it, Bea. I had a big dinner," Luke said. He had eaten a lot in the meal earlier, but he did not tell Luca or Tommy. "Ah…" Bianca glanced at Tommy, who was already heading up the stairs. She continued, "Alright then. You must be tired. I'll go and prepare the bathwater for you, then you can take a bath and sleep." Luke was not really convinced by the concern Bianca showed him. "It's fine, Bea. I still have some work to do. If you're tired, you should go to bed first." Bianca maintained the smile on her face even though Luke had refused her offer. She had alread
Rainie nodded as she listened to what her brother said. Soon, they heard a knock on the door and their butler's voice. "Master Blanche, Miss Rainie, are you two inside?" "We're here!" Lanie and Rainie said at the same time. "It's time to go downstairs for breakfast. Otherwise, you'll be late for school," the butler said. The two children were usually punctual at the dining table, but the butler did not see them, so he went upstairs to remind them. "It's Founder's Day at our school today, Mr. Griffin. We don't have to go to school," Rainie said. The butler thought for a while and realized that it was the case; he had forgotten about it because he had been too busy. "I see. However, your Great-Grandpa is waiting for the two of you downstairs." Old Master Crawford might dote on them, but he was also strict toward them. The children were not supposed to sleep in, they had to eat three meals a day, and they had to exercise three times a week. Those were the rules that Old Master
Everyone in the Crawford household knew that Lanie considered the Holston boy his rival. That was why Old Master Crawford nagged him a little. "Yes, Great-Grandpa. I'll make sure that Lanie won't fight with Simon," Rainie said. "Yes, you should." Old Master Crawford waved his hand. He was not worried when the twins looked out for each other. After they left the living room, Lanie protested, "What nonsense were you on earlier?" "Great-Grandpa was worried that you'd pick a fight with Simon. I was only reassuring him that you won't," Rainie said with a smile. "Nonsense. I can't be bothered to pick a fight with Simon." Lanie said coolly. His hands were in his pockets, and he looked like a mini version of Luke. He only fought with Simon to protect his sister. Lanie looked at his sister, who was skipping out of the house, and thought that she would not understand what her brother did for her. Sean was already waiting for them in the garage. After the twins got into the car,
"Huh? You want to go out and play?" Simon looked at Rainie and nodded his head. "Yeah! Let's go out and play!" "Then let's go out and play," Lanie said. He could not think of an excuse for the driver to take them to the hospital, so he thought of getting Simon to help him instead. "Where are we going?" Simon asked. "You'll know very soon. Right, is your driver at home?" Lanie said. "Of course. I'll get him to drive the car over now," Simon quickly ran inside. Rainie knew what her brother was planning, though she was quite worried. "Lanie, do you think Simon will help us?" "You'll see." Lanie was confident. Rainie nodded and said nothing. She did not think that taking advantage of other people was wrong as long as they could confirm their mother's identity. Moreover, Simon would not lose anything. Five minutes later, the Holston family driver drove a car over. Simon opened the car door and waved at them. "Come in, Rainie." Rainie looked at her brother. "Let's get int
The Holston family driver felt pressured when the three children looked at him at the same time. Simon seemed to be on Lanie's side, and he did not think that he could refuse. He could only nod and say, "How can I help you, Master Blanche?" "Help me fill up a form," Lanie said. He was only a child. The nurse might not accept the hair sample that he wanted to get tested. It should not be a problem if the Holston family driver helped him. The Holston family driver could only agree. Meanwhile, Luca was working in her office. It was a peaceful day because Luke was not there. She went to the laboratory with a stack of documents. She had asked Rhett to help her input the data. After half an hour in the laboratory, her phone rang. Rhett happened to look at her phone screen. He said, "Dr. Craw, it's a long string of numbers. Shall I reject the call for you?" He thought that it was a scam call. "No." When Luca heard that, she put away the test tube in her hand and answered t
Rainie was not impressed by Simon's bravado. She turned her head to look at that woman's back and said, "Lanie, I don't think that she's a bad person." "Mm." Lanie was staring at that woman's back too. Simon saw that his friends were staring at the woman as though they were bewitched. He could not help but mumble, "You can't tell if a person is good or bad from their face." "Shut up, Simon," Rainie said while continuing to stare at the woman. When it was Luca's turn at the counter, she hastily paid the bill and left without looking at the children again. She returned to the emergency room with the receipt. After the nurse verified it, she arranged for Amur to be admitted. Luca looked at Amur lying on the bed. "Are you hungry, Amur? Do you want to eat something?" "I'm not hungry." Amur shook his head. The nurse had told him that he would have to stay in the hospital until they removed his stitches. That would be seven days later, and he did not want to stay there for so lo
