These were the only things that she could help him with and do for him. Rainie stared at her for a while before she slowly said, “Ms. Luca, Mommy told us the same thing you just told us.”“Yes, I remember Mommy saying that before.” Tommy nodded and turned to look at Luca.He liked her so much because she was similar to their mother in many ways.She was gentle and virtuous. Sometimes, even what she said was exactly like what Bianca had previously said to them. Luca was startled for a moment. She did not expect the kids to remember what she had said to them before.Luca still remembered why she said that back then. Everyone in T Corporation was fully committed to carrying out the new project at that time. As the boss, Luke had to guide the whole company's progress. Sometimes, he would have to work overtime until three or four in the morning when he was busy.However, he would always get off work on time as to not worry her and the kids. He would walk straight into the study a
When the kids insisted on listening to that story, he went online to search on it but he could not find any information about the story she told them.Left with no other choice, Luke went to buy different kinds of storybooks to let the kids read them themselves. "I came up with the story," Luca answered. As the children's mother, she knew what kind of story the kids would love to hear even though three years had passed. That was why they loved her story very much.“You came up with the story?” Luke looked at her. Luca had immensely surprised him at this moment.The kids liked to cling to her. Her culinary skills were as good as Bianca’s, and she was even good at making up stories of her own…Luke thought of Bianca, and it set his nerves on edge. “Well…” Luca nodded. She stood up and said, “Mr. Crawford, I’d like to leave first if there’s nothing else.” Susan leaned against the wall outside the study while listening to the noises inside. Still, she did not hear anything.Su
Susan dared not speak after being scolded.Luca was looking down. Her heart was in a mess with roiling waves when she heard Mrs. Nancy say Luke had specifically ordered her to prepare this. It was just a minor injury…Old Master Crawford went along with what Mrs. Nancy said and said caringly, "Ms. Craw, why didn't you tell us that you're injured? I'm sorry to have troubled you to come back and forth. You had to take care of the children too.” “It’s just a minor injury. It’s not a big deal.” Luca shook her head gently and took a sip of the stew. She savored the rich taste of the stew. There was more than just ginger and turmeric in the stew. There were also herbs that were good for health. Luca scooped a spoonful and smelled it. She was sure that tonic had been added to the stew.Young people like her were fine with drinking such nutritious stew. Elderly folk like Old Master Crawford should only take tonics at appropriate times to nourish their bodies. Taking tonics too ofte
Luke drove back to Crawford Manor right after sending Luca home.He parked the car and walked into the house. He saw Mr. Griffin in the living room and said, “Follow me.”“Yes, Young Master Luke.” Mr. Griffin nodded and followed Luke into the kitchen.“Where do they usually keep the dried foods and supplements?” Luke asked.Mr. Griffin opened one of the cabinets and said, “All the dried foods and supplements are kept in here." Luke squatted down and took out the dried foods that were packed in bags. Mr. Griffin was puzzled when he saw him doing that, so he asked, “Young Master Luke, may I know what you’re doing?”"Open them all," Luke said nothing else and ordered Mr. Griffin.Mr. Griffin nodded and opened all the bags one by one. Mrs. Nancy saw them when she walked in and asked immediately, “Young Master Luke, Mr. Griffin, what’s the matter?”Luke took out the last bag and stood up. He looked at Mrs. Nancy. “The dried foods and supplements are all kept in here?”"No, I kee
If it were not for Luca, he did not know how much longer he would have continued to drink that tonic."Grandpa…" Luke was speechless. No matter if it was Luca or Tia, he approached them only because he suspected that both of them had something to do with the Island of Despair.His suspicion toward Luca had lessened for now. Although she was similar to Bianca in some ways, there was no tattoo on her body. Even though the Island of Despair was involved in illegal business deals, the members were disciplined and organized. Hence, there was a specific tattoo on everyone’s body.Luca did not have any…Luca showed up before the fake Bianca was discovered. If the people of the Island of Despair needed to train someone to approach him, they would need some time for that. She would have that tattoo on her if she was one of them.After all, the fake Bianca previously lurked beside him for three years. She had a tattoo on her body too. They would not have been able to do things so meticulo
Luca opened the door, only to see Old Master Crawford and Uncle Zander standing outside the door. She asked with surprise, “Old Master Crawford, you’re here?”Old Master Crawford smiled and entered the house. He looked like he was familiar with the place as he immediately walked to the couch and sat down. He looked around at the furnishings in the house. “What a nice place you have here, Luca.”Luca stroked the back of her head. She was a little confused about what was going on now. “Uh, it’s Mr. Crawford’s house.”"It was Luke who made it the employee residence for you, right?" Old Master Crawford pointed at the coffee table in front of him, signaling Uncle Zander to put the things here.“Yes,” replied Luca as she watched Uncle Zander move bags of stuff to the coffee table. What was going on?Old Master Crawford said, “Since Luke let you stay in here, then it’s considered your house. Oh, come over and sit here. Take a look at what I got you.” Luca sat down. She was a little unc
After Old Master Crawford had his breakfast, he left the gifts there and left with Uncle Zander.He refused to bring the gifts back no matter what Luca said to him. Luca looked at the supplements on the table. She would not normally take these.Moreover, she had a strong and healthy body. Luca thought of returning them. Hence, she called Luke. Luca took a deep breath after the call was answered. Then, she told him why she called. "Mr. Crawford, Old Master Crawford gave me a few boxes of supplements. Can I return them to you?" Was she going to return the supplements that were given to her?Luke raised his eyebrows. Others would have given the supplements to their family or friends if they did not take them. Some would have sold them back to the outlet. It was rare to see someone like her who would return the supplements. Luca realized he was not saying anything, so she added, "I can't accept such expensive gifts from the old master. And I'm strong and healthy. I don't need to
Jean rubbed his hands and wanted to take a step forward. "Ms. Luca, how sweet of you. Let me help you carry those."Nina blocked his way and gave him a stern look. “There’s no need to. How shameless of you!” Jean was embarrassed. Nina was not helping him even though he was his sister. She even wanted to stop him.If he won Luca’s heart, would he still need to depend on her?Nina turned around and handed the things back to her. “Luca, I can’t accept these.”“I’ve already brought them here. Take them. These are good for Aunt Anna.” Luca looked at Anna and decided to lend Nina a hand. “Aunt Anna, I remember you’ve been staying in the hospital for quite some time. Why aren’t you having the surgery?”Anna looked at Luca. She was plotting something in her heart. She wanted Luca to help her and matchmake Luca with her son.“Sigh, I won’t recover even if I go for the surgery. I’d still have to take medications. I can’t afford to pay the medical expenses. I don’t think I’ll go for the s
