"Yeah, I was on a video call with Tommy," Luca said as she walked to the living room. She picked up a glass of water and finished drinking it.Amur knew that Tommy was her son.He felt a little more relaxed knowing that the person she was on a call with was her son. When he saw her finish her glass of water, he asked, "Are you going to the banquet tomorrow?""Abel asked me to go, so I don’t have a choice." Luca knew that Abel was somehow involved in why Luke asked her to attend.Amur kept silent.Luca asked, "Did you prepare what I asked you to?""It's on the sofa." Amur jerked his chin to point at the sofa. Luca saw a box on the sofa and smiled. She did not have time to pick a dress so she got Amur to help."Thanks." She did not open the box and walked straight to the bedroom."Do you want to try it on?" Amur asked."No." Luca shook her head, then suddenly turned to look at him. "When are you going on your mission?""The day after tomorrow," Amur said."Okay." Luca nodded
Tommy took out the charging cable and broke into a smile the moment the tablet’s screen turned on.Lanie looked at his brother's appearance and shook his head helplessly. "In the future, don't bother Daddy when he’s resting.""If Daddy hadn't taken my tablet away, I wouldn't have bothered him!" Tommy sat in a chair and waited for the tablet to charge before turning it on.Lanie was a little baffled by what Tommy said and asked, "Why did Daddy take your tablet?""I don't know, maybe he was playing games. He used it until it was out of battery. It was full last night!" Tommy complained angrily. It was because he remembered fully charging the tablet that he thought it was broken when it did not turn on. Lanie raised his eyebrows. ‘How is it possible that Dad took a kid’s tablet to play games?’After charging, the tablet turned on automatically.Tommy watched eagerly. After the tablet was turned on, he clicked on the album and smiled when he saw that Luca's photos were still in it.
Tommy pouted and felt dejected when he heard Lanie’s reply. Old Master Crawford chimed in and said happily, "It’s okay, Tommy. Don’t go with them. Should we go fishing instead?"Although Tommy was naughty and lively, he loved fishing. When he heard that Old Master Crawford was going to take him fishing, his eyes lit up as he nodded quickly.Even after breakfast, Luke had not come downstairs.Old Master Crawford asked, "Why isn't Luke down yet?"The butler replied, "Old Master Crawford, Young Master Luke is still resting."Lanie answered, "Great-grandpa, Dad worked until late into the night yesterday. Let him sleep for a little while longer.""That’s not true! Dad took my tablet to play games until late last night. That’s why he can't get up now. He’s a lazy bum!" Tommy complained when he thought of how his father had confiscated his tablet and used it all night till it ran out of battery."..." Lanie did not refute. He looked at his younger brother's silly appearance and sighe
If she could figure out the formula, she, Amur, and Eler stood a better chance of surviving...Luca put the tube away. When she walked out of the alley, she saw Bianca driving away.She glowered at her. Only when Bianca’s car was far away did Luca pick up the phone and call for an Uber.They were close to the suburbs, so it was not as easy to get a car.After the driver accepted the order, Luca put her phone back in her pocket.She heard a squeak from behind and turned her head. The man in charge of dispensing the antidote came out."You haven't left?" The man had a wide smile on his face as he checked Luca out. He thought that the woman in front of him was hot and better-looking than Bianca."I’m waiting for my ride." Luca was so disgusted with his gaze that she turned around to stop looking at him.The man approached her and said, "It’s hard to get a ride here. I’ll drive you?""No." Luca felt him approaching and impatiently took two steps away from him. "Don't come near me.
Crawford Manor.After she drank the antidote, Bianca was not in the mood to hang around outside so she drove back home. She walked into the living room and saw Luke sitting on the sofa. The financial news was playing on the TV but he did not seem to be paying any attention to it.She smiled and approached him, sitting next to him. "Luke."Luke came back to his senses and looked at the woman next to him. A flash of impatience appeared in his eyes.The perfume smell on Bianca overwhelmed Luke when she approached him. In the past, she did not like to use perfume and always had a natural fragrance on her body.After losing her memory, she fell in love with various ladies' fragrances, which made Luke even more reluctant to be close to her."You’re back?" He kept some distance from her with the excuse of pouring himself a cup of tea.Luke's action seemed natural, so Bianca did not notice his true intention. She nodded and said, "Yes, I'm home. You’re watching financial news? Why are y
Luke glanced at her but immediately looked somewhere else. Previously, if Bianca had looked at him with that loving gaze, he would definitely not be able to hold back his urges. However, he realized that he did not feel anything at all. Luke took his necktie and prepared to wear it when Bianca stepped forward and said gently, "Let me help you." He did not refuse it. Instead, he handed her the necktie. Bianca took the necktie with a loving smile on her face and did a Windsor knot for him. "Does it look good?" "Mm." Luke looked at himself in the dressing mirror, then at Bianca next to him. Suddenly, he thought of Luca. He shook his head. Bianca thought that he did not like it. "Do you think that it doesn't look good? Shall I change it into another knot?" "No. This is fine." When Luke saw that she was about to put her hands on the tie, he turned around and wore his coat. "Are Lanie and Rainie home?" He asked. He thought he heard them talking in their room when he walked
Luca only finished dressing up when it was almost nighttime. It was not a particularly important party, so she wore a black long dress, tied her hair into a bun, and put on some light makeup. She was taken aback when she saw herself in the mirror. Ever since her face changed, she had never groomed herself to this extent, and the face in the mirror was still unfamiliar to her. Luca could not help but chuckle coldly when she looked at her delicate features. Ever since her face changed, she stayed away from the mirror whenever she could and rarely dressed herself up. She would not have done so if she were not forced to go to the party. Her phone began to ring. She glanced at the screen and saw that the call was from Luke. Did he call her because he was afraid that she might bail on him? Luca took a deep breath and answered the call. "Mr. Crawford." "I'm downstairs," Luke said. Before she could react, Luke had already ended the call. Luca was speechless as she listened to t
Luca did not say anything as she watched Luke press the button for the rooftop banquet hall. The two people remained silent during the elevator ride. No one went in or out throughout the ride, so they reached the rooftop relatively quickly. The elevator doors opened, and two waiters were waiting for them. The waiters could recognize Luke. They greeted him warmly and noticed Luca that also stepped out of the elevator with him. One of the waiters recognized that she was the woman implicated in Luke's scandal earlier. It was not surprising that the two people appeared at the same party. After all, one was a prominent businessman, and the other was a researcher in the field. What was surprising was that they arrived at the same time. Luke handed the invitation to the waiter and walked into the hall. Everyone in the hall noticed his arrival. Their eyes fell on Luke, and naturally, they noticed Luca too. She did not feel comfortable being looked at, so she took a glass of cha
