After Luca left, Sean returned to the driver's seat and asked Luke, "Shall we go back to Crawford Manor now, Sir?" "Let's go." After watching Luca's figure disappear into the night, he turned his head away and said. After Sean heard that, he started the car. Luke continued, "Don't tell anyone about what happened earlier." "I saw nothing, Sir," Sean replied. He understood what Luke meant. Luke said nothing. He leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes. The odd sense of familiarity became more intense when he went closer to her earlier. When she said the words "Mrs. Crawford," that had made him inexplicably angry. It was as though those words should not have been spoken by her mouth. He could not describe the feeling he had earlier. He knew that he had never lost control like that for a long time. When he was at the closest point, his full attention was focused on her lips. If she did not stop her, would he have kissed her? Luke was suddenly reminded of the impostor
Luca's hatred toward Abel grew as she listened to the busy tone on the phone. She had tried to stay away from Luke and carry out Abel's orders, yet Abel was toying with her feelings. Tears of agony flowed down Luca's cheeks. What could she do to free herself from this mess? She knew Luke too well. Luke was not one who would want to seek a relationship with other people. Even though she had been constantly lying to him, he kept on trying to approach her. It only meant that she was somehow special to him… Luca threw the phone on the bed and covered her face. She could not stop her tears from falling. Amur stood outside her room and listened to the sounds from inside. Luca had lost control of her emotions and had spoken a little too loudly, and he had overheard her conversation… 'Abel…' Amur clenched his fists hatefully. He wished that he could claim that man's life. … Meanwhile, after Luke returned to Crawford Manor, he was surprised to see that Bianca was still awake
Bianca pretended to look awkward. "But Grandpa, it's been a long time since I went out with Luke alone…" Old Master Crawford glanced at her. Before he could say anything, Lanie, who had been quiet all this while, said, "Tommy, let's not disturb Daddy and Mommy's date. Let's go and play some video games, alright?" Lanie knew that Luke must have something important to do, and that was why he wanted to bring Bianca and no one else. The reason most likely had to do with the fact that the woman was an impostor. Tommy turned to look at Lanie, then at Bianca. Bianca took the chance to say, "That's right, Tommy. Lanie has a big collection of video games. Don't you want to play with him?" Tommy hesitated. Rainie chimed in too. "Tommy, how about we go to Ms. Luca's house after playing video games?" She suggested that because she knew that Tommy adored Luca. As expected, Tommy chose Luca over Bianca. He nodded and said, "Really? Can we really go to Ms. Luca's house?" "Of cours
After they got out of the car, Bianca took the initiative to hold Luke's hand as they walked into the villa. She displayed her full affection and wanted nothing more but to be as close to Luke as possible.She was too engrossed that she did not notice the gloomy look on Luke's face.Bianca turned her head to look at his handsome face. Her heartbeat sped up inexplicably when she thought about how there were only two of them in the villa. She had to make the best out of this opportunity.Luke keyed in the code on the digital lock. With a click, the door opened.Luke stood aside and looked at Bianca, who had no doubts. He said, "Go in."Bianca thought of what was going to happen in a while and her face turned red. She nodded shyly and walked into the villa.The lamps lit up the place in an instant. When she saw a man and woman inside, she turned around and looked at Luke, confused.At that moment, he walked in and the door behind him was closed."Luke, this is..." Bianca looked
Luke left without looking back, leaving Bianca completely hopeless.Bianca was in tears. Rain looked at her pitiful and seemingly innocent face. It reminded her of the evil people from the Island of Despair. When she thought of them, all her pity for Bianca was no longer there.If the real Bianca were still alive, it was highly likely that she was forced to go through a lot of suffering. Gale looked at the fake Bianca cry and felt no pity for her. Instead, he said to Rain, "I’ll carry her into the room.""Go ahead." Rain nodded. She felt nothing but annoyed listening to Bianca's wails.Luke told her that he wanted the truth no matter what methods they used. He had a reason for keeping her in this villa. This was a private property of his located in the outskirts. The nearby villas belonged to the local tycoons of A City. They bought the villas for vacation, so there were not many people around on a normal day. No one would notice no matter how loud Bianca yelled.Gale carried
Tommy smiled, raised the almost ready dough in his hands, and said, "Look, Daddy. Ms. Luca is teaching us how to make croissants."There was flour everywhere on the table. The kids must have caused this mess. The kids never had to do any housework in Crawford Manor. Although the house was in a mess, Luke felt a strange feeling when he saw how the kids were helping Luca.‘This is how a home should feel like.’He saw the children’s joyous appearance and felt like he was missing out on it. Luke touched Tommy's head and asked, "Why aren’t you using a bread machine to knead the dough?"Luca stood there and looked at him for a while. She then walked to the table, continued to knead the dough, and said, "Manual kneading makes better bread compared to using a bread machine."Rainie listened and had a sudden realization. "No wonder the croissant made by the chef at home is not as delicious as Mommy's."Luca paused. ‘She said ‘Mommy’… Is she referring to me or the fake Bianca?’She unco
The fake Bianca was not involved in any messy relationships, so Luke could manage the Crawford and Norman families with ease."Dad, Rainie and I will keep this a secret, don't worry," Lanie said. The three of them were not close to Bianca at all so it was not too much trouble to fool Tommy.After the two had a chat, they returned to the living room.Tommy waved to them happily and said, "Lanie, come! The show is about to begin."Lanie nodded and sat on the sofa.Luke walked to the kitchen and stood at the entrance. He did not enter and just stood there.The kitchen was indeed very small. If he walked in, it would become more crowded so he just stood there and watched from a distance.Luca's perception was sensitive. She turned her head and saw Luke standing there as expected."Mr. Crawford, are you alright?" She stopped cutting the chocolate in her hand."I’m fine." Luke deliberately glanced around the kitchen and said, "Your kitchen is too small. I assume you like to cook? Do
After an hour, the smell of croissants overflowed the kitchen.Tommy was sitting on the sofa, holding a fruit bowl in his hand. When he smelled the croissants, he greedily sniffed it all in and said, "The croissants smell so good. Can we have lunch soon?"Rainie turned around and said with a smile, "Ms. Luca is still in the kitchen. I’m guessing it’ll take some time."Luke glanced at the kitchen, and Tommy immediately said, "Daddy, Ms. Luca is so busy. Why don't you go over and help?""The kitchen is too small, she won't let me in." Luke did not have any intentions to move.Tommy muttered, "Daddy, you're just lazy."Luke raised his eyebrows and did not speak. The kitchen was indeed small, but it was also true that Luca did not want to have too much contact with him.Luca was deliberately staying in the kitchen just to avoid interacting with him too much.After the croissants were baked, she placed the croissants on the plate one by one and then took the plate out.Tommy kept l
