Luke was disdainful because of Luca's interaction with Jean.Rain saw everything clearly, and she reported to Luke without missing a single detail.That was why his expression was ugly.Luca sat up straight and put on her seatbelt."You don't have anything to say?" Luke asked.Luca wondered what was there to say. ‘Am I supposed to tell him what I discovered?’She nodded and said quickly, "After talking to Jean, I'm sure that Nina is in Pierre's hands and she shouldn’t be in any danger now. We can focus on investigating Pierre. We can start with—”Luke interrupted her and said coldly, "Rains is aware of all that you mentioned. She’s taking action now."Luca was astounded, nodded, and said in a neutral tone, "Oh."Luke was infuriated when he thought of how Jean took advantage of Luca. He stopped talking, stepped on the accelerator, and drove off.Luca could tell that he was speeding and pursed her lips. Even if he did not say anything, she could tell that he was fuming.When L
"Can you sleep?" Luke leaned against the door and stared at her.Luca rubbed her eyes, pretended to be sleepy, and said, "Mr. Crawford, I'm very tired now and want to go to bed."Luke did not expose her. Since she did not want to talk to him, he decided to be forceful. He walked into the bedroom and sat on the sofa."Mr. Crawford?" Luca was shocked by his actions. ‘Is he going to stay here tonight?’Luke's slender legs were crossed, and he found a comfortable position. Luca drank a lot of alcohol, so even after she washed up, he could still smell the faint alcohol smell in the air.It did not smell bad since it was blended with her body's special scent...On the contrary, he was even a little tempted."There's something I want to talk to you about," Luke said. After he debated internally for half an hour, he decided that he could not let Luca escape from the truth any longer.The fact that she flirted with Jean had stimulated his nerves. He could not stand it even though he kne
After Luke talked to Luca, he fell asleep easily.After a dreamless night, he woke up to find that Luca had left the apartment.He raised his eyebrows when he saw the breakfast on the table. Luca did not usually make these dishes. Sometimes, when they were in a rush or if the prepared breakfast could not be eaten in time, she would make these dishes.Luke touched the toasted bread with his hand and found that it was cold. It seemed that it had been on the table for a while."What an ostrich." He looked at the breakfast prepared for him and commented in a soft voice. He felt relieved that he had laid it all out on the table. No matter how much Luca wanted to run away, she would not escape from his palm.No matter if she was Bianca or Luca, she was the love of his life.Luke glanced at the time. He was not going back to the office that morning because today was the day Allison would get out of jail.Even though he had only visited her a handful of times in the past few years, he h
Allison watched arrogantly as they welcomed her. She was discontented. The maids calling her ‘Madam Allison’ reminded her that Susan was inside the manor, ready for a fight.Although the maids did not dare to look up at her face, she knew Susan must be waiting to make fun of her.Allison lowered the brim of her hat and said to Luke, "Come on. Walk in with me."Within the family, the only one she could rely on at that moment was Luke.Luke stayed silent when he saw that she did not dare to take a step forward. He made a gesture to the butler and walked in with her.The butler got the hint and dismissed the maids who were involved in the welcoming ceremony.Crawford Manor’s living room.Susan sat on the sofa. She held a cup of floral tea, drinking from it elegantly. She looked at the woman walking in, smiled, and said, "I was wondering why the butler brought all the maids together. It turns out that you’re released from prison today."Allison glanced coldly in her direction, kept
In the study.Old Master Crawford watched Luke light the incense, then looked out the window. His eyes were cloudy. He seemed to have a lot on his mind.Luke closed the lid and said, "Grandpa, if you have something to say, just say it.""Is your mother's face incurable?" Old Master Crawford knew that Luke had arranged for a doctor to go to prison to check on Allison but he never asked about it. After he saw Allison wrapping herself up like that, he knew that the treatment was not working as well as she hoped."The wrinkles on her face are permanent and irreversible," Luke said.Old Master Crawford sighed. He knew that it was Allison's fault and she had no one to blame but herself. However, she would bring embarrassment to the Crawford family if she insisted on going out in public.He said, "This home is not peaceful, and it’s not good for the physical and mental health of the kids. If you want, you can move out with the kids and only bring them back to accompany me during the hol
The more Susan thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She muttered, "No, I'm going to ask Louis about this. He’s so unsensible. What’s wrong with staying here? Why does he want to move out?"The butler watched her leave in a hurry and shook his head helplessly.Louis was the kind of person who did not fight for anything. It was normal for him to want to move out after being forced by her to fight for everything every day....After Luke arrived at the office, he immediately asked Jason to schedule a meeting.The entire management team was expected to be present, including Luca.After she received the news, Luca packed up the materials she needed for the meeting. As she carried her laptop, she suddenly thought of what Luke had said last night…This morning, she ran away and left like an ostrich. However, she knew that she would have to face him sooner or later...It was what it was. Although she had to deal with Luke because of work, she still felt uncomfo
They stopped talking as soon as Jason walked in.Jason glanced at the seat next to the CEO’s and did not see Luca. He frowned and asked, "Where's Dr. Craw? She’s not here yet?""She's helping Tina make coffee." The executive who led the conversation about Luca earlier replied.Jason nodded. It was not Luca's job to make coffee but he did not say anything. He reminded them, "Get ready. The meeting is about to start. Mr. Crawford’s hands are full, so try to simplify things as much as possible when you present later. Focus on key points so that you can save yours and other people’s time.”"Yes, Mr. Doyle." The executives knew how strict Luke was with work and agreed readily.Luca and Tina walked in with the coffee. When Jason saw them, he immediately stepped forward and picked up two cups of coffee. "Tina can handle this. Dr. Craw, you'd better take your seat.""Yeah, Dr. Craw," Tina said.The executives listened to what Jason said and sighed secretly in their hearts. From his atti
Luke noticed the laptop in his hands and frowned. “Is this Luca’s laptop?”“Yes, Boss. This is Dr. Craw’s laptop. There’s only half an hour left ‘til their lunch break ends, so I told them to go have their lunch first and I’ll bring their laptops back,” Jason explained.Luke’s frown deepened. Would that make Luca think that he was an inconsiderate person while Jason was an understanding person? Jason looked at Luke’s expression. He could not help but wonder and asked, “What’s the matter, Boss?”Luke said in a cold voice, “Well, you sure know how to please others.” He grabbed Luca’s laptop from him. “Is there anything else that belongs to her?” Jason quickly handed two folders to him and said, “These belong to Dr. Craw…”Jason dared not to keep anything as he realized the extent of his boss’ possessiveness over Luca…Luke took them from him and asked, “Where’s my lunch?”“I’ve already placed the order this morning. It should be on the way here now,” answered Jason. As Luke’s
