"Brother?" Luke stopped working."Yes, I heard that it’s a man with European features." Jason had not realized the problem and continued with his report.Luke's mood sank. She told him the day before that Amur would be back and she ended up having a meal with him as soon as he returned...‘She’s that excited? Doesn't she know that besides me, all other men are trash? How could she have dinner with that man…’Jason noticed Luke's gloomy expression and realized that he was in trouble.He hurriedly said, "Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading off to attend to some tasks.""Wait a minute." Luke stopped Jason, who desperately wanted to leave."Boss, what can I do for you?" Jason turned around with a serious expression. He looked like he was ready to make a noble sacrifice."When Luca comes back, get her to come into my office," Luke ordered."Will do." Jason breathed a sigh of relief. He felt fortunate that Luke did not pick on him even though he was in a bad mood. He hurr
The master bedroom was near the stairs. Luca walked in, put down the briefcase, and came out again.She noticed that something was off and turned her head, looking at the guest bedrooms.Previously, she opened all the doors of the guest bedrooms for ventilation. However, all of the doors were closed now...‘Could it be that the cleaning lady and maid closed them after they were done cleaning up?’Luca did not think much about it and did not bother to open the doors. She walked downstairs. She had to prepare dinner for three children and two adults, so there was a lot to do. If she started immediately, she could have some desserts ready for the kids when they arrived. After she thought of that, she rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner with Leane.Half an hour later, Luca's appetizers were ready and Zander arrived at the villa with the children.Tommy walked into the villa and went straight to the kitchen, shouting, "Ms. Luca!"Luca turned around a
"Ms. Luca, you don't have to worry about me. Daddy said I'm not a kid anymore, I'm a big boy, I can take care of myself." Tommy said while holding the spoon, he could not wait to take his first sip of the soup.Luca looked at Tommy's greedy expression and shook her head helplessly. If she had not known that the Crawford family would never starve Tommy, she might have misunderstood the situation.She put the rest of the soup away. Rainie walked over to the dining table and wanted to take a seat next to Luca but Lanie pulled her away.She understood his actions instantly and chose another seat.Lanie sat next to her.Leane sat between Lanie and Tommy so she could take care of the children during the meal.Luca looked at the remaining two seats. It was clear that they were left for her and Luke.No matter where she sat, she would be next to Luke.She had no choice but to choose a seat near Tommy. When Luke saw that, he sat beside her.Tommy’s round eyes were squinted from the wid
Luca stood by the door and watched as Luke carefully put Tommy on the bed. She glanced around the bedroom and noticed that there was a kid’s table, bedding, and thick carpet. It must have taken a lot of work to prepare all these. She was not angry about it, but the turbidity in her heart became stronger.Luke had confessed to her, and it turned out he had not given up even after not getting the answer he wanted.She was like a fish that unknowingly swam into the trap he set, foolishly thinking that he had given up on her.Luca took another look at the guest bedrooms. There was Lanie’s room, Rainie’s room, and the guest bedroom opposite the master bedroom...She opened the door and saw the black, white, and gray interior as well as the large bed and the office desk. She immediately knew that this was the bedroom Luke had prepared for himself.It was just opposite her bedroom. They would bump into each other when they stepped out of their rooms.Luca shook her head.After Luke
Luca wrapped Lanie in her arms. She understood what the kids were thinking."Do you see me as one of those women as well?" she asked cautiously, worried that she would be hurt to hear from Lanie that the kids did not like her.Lanie raised his head and looked at her with a firm gaze. "No, all of us like you, Ms. Luca. I don't know why but we’ve always thought that you’re affectionate and love us as our Mommy did. If it’s possible, we hope to be able to live with you for the days to come. Ms. Luca, although our daddy seems cold, he treats his lover gently and wholeheartedly. Rainie and I can guarantee it."Luca noticed how Lanie was promoting Luke. She smiled and gently pinched his hand. "You like me but you're still young. You can't tell what kind of liking it is.""We feel that whenever we see you, it’s like seeing our mommy. Ms. Luca, Daddy likes you very much and we like you very much too. Think about it. Don't reject Daddy just like that," Lanie said sincerely.Luca felt disco
The next day, Luca checked her phone as soon as she woke up.She had nightmares the entire night. She dreamt of being forced to separate from Luke and her children. She also dreamt of Nina being brutally abused by Pierre.The dreams made her feel suffocated...Luca looked at her phone. There was a text sent 11 minutes ago. She opened it immediately.Amur had texted her. He said that he found the place where Nina was being held hostage and he was already creating an anonymous phone software. He would notify Percy as soon as he was done.Luca got up immediately and replied: [Have you notified Percy?]Amur responded: [Give me five minutes.]Luca understood that it meant that the software would take another five minutes to complete. Amur could only notify Percy after the anonymous phone software was made so that he would not be discovered.One’s phone number had to be registered with one’s real name. As such, Percy could still find Amur even if he registered for a new number to not
In the villa.Nina was groggy. A needle was inserted into the back of her hand. The nutrition solution was delivered into her body through her veins.She still refused to eat, so she got so weak that she was ill with a fever.After they administered the fever-reducing injection, the female doctor adjusted the speed of the nutrition infusion and looked at the male doctor. "Why don't we leave the needle in? If her fever doesn’t go away, she’ll have to go for an intravenous infusion at noon and another bag of nutrition solution later. I'm afraid the boss won't be happy if we keep stabbing her." The male doctor looked at Nina, then at the maid. He left the decision to her. “Do you think we should leave the needle in?”The maid replied in an indifferent tone, "Do you dare to do so? She’s not a mental patient yet has to be restricted by a straitjacket. After you’re done with the infusion, you have to loosen the straitjacket. Can you guarantee that she won’t hurt herself using the needl
Percy listened to her screams and hugged her silently. "Don't be scared. We're going to the hospital now. You'll feel more comfortable once we get there."Nina heard his reassuring words and subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes. She was scared that he would disappear as soon as she loosened her grip.‘It's not a dream, is it… Percy came to my rescue…’Nina said nothing. Percy hugged her tightly until she arrived at the hospital.Johann had arranged for someone to wait for Nina at the hospital’s entrance. Percy got out of the car and felt Nina grip him tighter when he wanted to place her on the stretcher."Nina, we’re at the hospital now. The doctor will take care of you." Percy noticed her unease and reassured her.Nina shook her head and said, "Don't leave me. I'm scared..."When he heard that, Percy felt as though his heart shattered."Okay, I won't let you go. I'll carry you in." Percy carried Nina in his arms and walked to the hospital.The doctor who was on st
