Nina shook her head. She thought that they would make a cute couple but she was in a dilemma when she was reminded of Bianca, who was still abroad.Nina looked at the closed door, then sat on the sofa. Before long, the doorbell rang again."Did you forget something?" She thought it was Luca, so she opened the door without looking into the peephole.When she saw that the person standing outside the door was Percy, Nina subconsciously wanted to slam the door shut.However, Percy moved fast and pressed himself against the door. The strength between them was so disparate that Nina could not close the door."What are you doing here?!" Nina stared at the person in front of her.Percy lifted the bag in his hand and said, "I bought you some fruits.""I don't want them." Nina refused angrily. ‘Isn’t Mallory Corporation about to go bankrupt? Why has he appeared in front of me three times in the last two days…’Percy leaned against the door with a relaxed expression as if it did not take
"A gift? I've prepared something on your behalf." Luke went to the trunk and took out a nicely packaged gift.The gift was handed to her but Luca did not take it. "Is there only one? If you give me yours, what are you going to give to Old Master Crawford?""My gift has been passed to Grandpa. I prepared this for you. Take it," Luke said. He guessed that Luca might have forgotten to prepare a gift so he prepared one for her in advance.In the past, she was not as forgetful and was always the one who reminded him about things as such. He was somewhat not used to it now that the tables were turned.Luca took it. The gift was heavy and looked expensive. "Mr. Crawford, how much is this? I'll pass you the money for it later.""We'll talk about it later." Luke helped her prepare the gift but had no intention of asking her to pay him back.Luca felt impotent. Luke then took out an envelope from the pocket inside his suit and handed it over."I assume you didn't prepare any birthday mone
Susan asked on purpose with the intention of humiliating Luca."Dr. Craw is not familiar with Antique Street in A City, so I took her there. She personally chose the gift for Grandpa." Luke knew what Susan had in mind and saved Luca from blushing out of embarrassment.Susan would feel threatened as long as the matter was related to Luke."Oh, no wonder! Luke, items from the antique street that you mentioned should be very expensive, right? Dr. Craw is just a researcher. Her position and salary are decent but those antiques are worth tens of millions. Dr. Craw, wouldn't it be a burden for you to buy something so expensive?" Susan continued. Even if she could tell that Luke wanted to protect Luca, she was unwilling to let it go.Luca felt powerless. She could tell that Susan was not going to let her off easily."It's nothing expensive. I’m happy as long as Old Master Crawford likes it," she said."It's not expensive?" Susan smiled and looked at the gift box in the butler's hand. "H
"Okay, please greet the guests. Luca, accompany me inside? Let’s have some tea?" Old Master Crawford invited her."Okay." Luca nodded in agreement. Rather than standing here, it was a better option for her to accompany Old Master Crawford in for tea.She did not have the right status to be standing here and greeting guests. "Come, give me a hand. I’m old and my legs are not working as well as they used to," Old Master Crawford said. He was in a wonderful mood.Luca obediently helped him, and the two walked in with the butler following closely behind.Luke glanced at Luca's back with a tender gaze.Susan was enraged by what happened and thought Luca must be proud of how things turned out. Getting the love and attention of Old Master Crawford meant that she had won over the entire Crawford family. If Luke was involved with her, she was unsure where she would stand in the future.She felt threatened once again. To her, Luca was a bigger threat than Bianca!Susan looked at Louis,
Tommy was unwilling to be outdone and said, "Ms. Luca is more beautiful than a fairy princess! In my heart, Ms. Luca is the most beautiful woman in this universe! Brother, what do you think?"Lanie, who was named, nodded nonchalantly. In his heart, his mother was indeed the most beautiful woman in this universe.The smile in Luca’s eyes deepened as she listened to the compliments from the children. She enjoyed being with her children more than anything.She touched the children's heads and asked, "Are you hungry? There are refreshments here. I'll have them send some over?""Yay!" The children clapped their hands. They were picked up by Zander from school and had not had anything to eat yet.Luca picked up the landline nearby, dialed the service desk, and told them to bring some refreshments.There was a knock on the door of the lounge as soon as she hung up the phone.Luca went to open the door and found that it was the maid from the Crawford family. When she saw Luca, the maid
Luca was ingenious. She quickly helped Rainie to do her hair. It looked good but it was somewhat different from her own.Rainie looked in the mirror and boasted, saying, "Ms. Luca, you’re amazing. My hair looks great!"Luca smiled, looked at the smile on Rainie's face, and said, "It's still a little different from mine.""This looks good too! Ms. Rainie, do you want to put on a necklace?" The maid, who was by the side, asked.Rainie nodded.The maid took out the necklace Luke had prepared for Rainie and helped put it on her. Luca noticed that Rainie's necklace was also made of pearls.She was stunned, "Are Rainie's accessories also made of pearls?""Yes, these are what Daddy bought for me yesterday. Ms. Luca, do I look good?" Rainie fiddled with her necklace. Luca could tell that she liked it very much.“Yes, you look wonderful." Luca wondered if Luke did it on purpose. Although Rainie's necklace was for children, it was similar to the necklace on her neck."It’s the same neck
“Yes, I said that too.” Queenie was busy admiring Luca’s beauty. Luca had always dressed up casually, and she looked pretty even then. Now that she was all dolled up, she was even more stunning. She could not help but compliment Luca.“Thank you. You look great too.” Luca felt embarrassed receiving compliments from them. She lowered her head a little and looked down. Wanda laughed and took a sip of the red wine before saying, "Luca, let me tell you something. My father has been taking the medicine you prescribed and using the herbal concoction to soak his feet in. He feels a lot more comfortable now. He can sleep early every night without waking up in the middle of the night all of a sudden. He'll only wake up around six in the morning. You're amazing."Luca nodded as she listened to Wanda’s feedback. She already knew that her prescription would have long-term effects on Old Master Rayne. That was why she was not surprised to hear that when Wanda told her about it.Queenie, who
Luca went to the washroom when the banquet was halfway through.When she was in the cubicle, she coincidentally heard the two women outside talking about her.“Who’s the woman who walked into the hall with Luke while holding the two kids’ hands? I remember that his wife doesn’t look like that,” one of the women asked. “So, is she not really his wife? I thought I remembered it wrongly. Then who’s that woman?”"Luke's wife is still abroad. There's no news of her returning here. Who knows who that woman is? After all, she looks well-behaved. Perhaps she's that kind of woman."“What kind of woman?”“A mistress. Isn’t it normal for a man as outstanding as Luke to keep a mistress?”“That can’t be. How dare a mistress show up on such an occasion? Even if she dares to, Luke wouldn’t dare to bring her here. Isn’t he afraid of pissing off the old master?”“I agree, but did you notice how close the kids are to that woman? I heard Susan mention that this woman’s identity is unknown and sh
