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
The car was moving slowly and steadily. Luke did not turn on the radio this time. There was dead silence in the car.The coat was still on Luca's shoulder. She turned around and looked at the man beside her. She pondered before lifting her hand to take off the coat.Luke spoke, "Put it on.""It's warm enough in the car. It's a little hot for me…" Luca explained. Luke turned on the heater once they got into the car as he was worried that she would catch a cold.“It’ll be cold outside when you get out later,” Luke said, telling her to leave it on her.Luca had no choice but to leave the coat on her. She looked outside the window and realized they were not going to Nina’s apartment. "Mr. Crawford, are you going the wrong way?" she asked. He should have made a right turn just now if they were heading to Nina's place. The road they were driving on now would take them back to his apartment. She thought Luke had accidentally taken the wrong turn.Luke continued to drive forward with
After Luca returned to the apartment, she stood at the balcony and looked down. However, it was too high. She could not see when she looked down.The weather was getting cold. Luca, who was wearing a dress, felt a little cold. She walked back into the room and turned on the heater.She took off her dress and quickly washed up. After she changed into her pajamas, she let out a sigh of relief. She was intentionally provoked and gossiped by the others tonight, but it was finally over.She lay down on the bed. Her phone suddenly rang.Luca picked up her phone. She thought it was Nina who called, but she did not expect it to be a video call request from the Island of Despair. She quickly tapped on the screen to answer the call.Her youngest daughter, Nyla, showed up on the screen.“Mommy!” Nyla called out to her in a baby voice when she saw her mother. Her eyes reddened as she missed her mother so much.Luca was surprised to see her daughter. She sat up straight and looked at the
