"I'm going to send you to South Korea to see a doctor. Plastic surgery there is advanced. The doctors here say that you can’t be cured but that’s not necessarily the case if you go abroad. However, if you don't want to go, you can stay here," Luke said. He originally planned to send her off after a few months but now that she was causing such a scene, he just wanted to get it done right away.Peaceful days were ahead of them as soon as Allison went abroad. When Allison heard that he was going to send her to Korea for plastic surgery, her anger disappeared immediately. However, she was worried that he was lying to her, so she said, "I want to go to the best hospital in South Korea. I won’t go if there isn’t a good doctor.""I'll make the necessary arrangements," Luke said."Okay, I’ll say yes for now. After I’ve received treatment, I'll come back to A City immediately," Allison said. She made it clear that she did not intend to stay abroad for too long. "Mm," Luke said.On the o
Luke stepped on the accelerator when he heard what she blurted out. "Are you taking pity on me?""No, your identity and status are envied by others. You don't need any pity." Luca turned her head to the side and was annoyed at herself for babbling."Those are just what others see on the surface. Luca, you see more of me than others do. Do you still envy the real me?" Luke asked."No," Luca answered without a second thought.Luke chuckled and said, "You can take pity on me. I do hope that you sympathize with me more and stay by my side."Luca's heart ached when she heard what he said.She wanted to stay by his side, but it was impossible. Abel would never allow it. She was living in agony but she could not tell him anything.The only thing that she could do was express her firm denial. "Mr. Crawford, nothing is ever going to happen between us.""Someone said this to me once and I made the impossible possible. Luca, how long do you think it’ll take me to get you to accept me?" Lu
After Luca bought the ingredients to make chicken soup and dinner, they walked to the snacks area. She watched Luke pick out several snacks and put them in the shopping cart.She secretly jotted down the snacks in her head.After that, the two of them went to the checkout counter. The cashier put all the items in the shopping bag. Before Luca could react, Luke paid for the bill using his phone.Luca had no choice but to follow behind him. She wanted to settle the bill by herself but did not expect that he would fight for the bill.Once they got home, the children surrounded them.Tommy blinked his big watery eyes and asked, "Daddy, did you buy any snacks?""Yes, they’re all in the bag," Luke said."That’s wonderful. Long live Ms. Luca!" Tommy clapped and hugged Luca's hand."Huh? Long live me?" Luca looked at the children in amazement. Luke was the one who got them the snacks, so she was not sure why they were cheering for her instead."If not for you, Ms. Luca, Daddy probably
After she was done with dinner, Luca set off to the hospital with a thermos flask in her hand.After Luke finished his meeting, he came down with the tray, which the cleaning lady immediately took to the kitchen. He subconsciously looked for Luca.However, he did not see her.Tommy sat on the sofa and read a storybook. When he saw Luke looking around, he said, "Daddy, you don't need to look for Ms. Luca. Ms. Luca has already left.""She went out?" Luke frowned and sat beside his son."Yeah. Ms. Luca went out after dinner. She said she was going to visit Aunt Nina." Tommy was a qualified messenger."Why didn't she ask me to drive her?" Luke took his son's storybook and flipped it resignedly.When he saw how Luke reacted, Tommy took his storybook and said, "Ms. Luca knew that you were busy, so she didn’t want to bother you. She cares about you. Why are you unhappy about that?"Seeing how street smart Tommy was, Luke suspected that he watched those TV shows with Rainie. He raised
Luca frowned when he dragged her through the mud. She said, full of disgust, "You kidnapped Nina, didn’t you?”Pierre sneered. He was in a bad mood because Nina was rescued by Percy. Luca appeared in front of him when he needed a place to vent. Since someone was willing to be his punching bag, he was more than happy to do so."Are you slandering me? If I was the one who kidnapped her, why would the police let me show up here safe and sound?" Pierre was arrogant and domineering. He was not at all worried that Percy would call him out.They were brothers. He thought that Percy would not be so stupid to go against him for a woman.On top of that, the Mallory family would never allow Percy to send him to prison because of a woman. Having seen the scale of his company, Old Master Mallory loved him."There's no one else here. Why are you beating about the bush?" Luca knew that he was poking fun at her. No matter what, she was determined for him to confess his crime."Luca, do you hav
Luca was patient. She waited until the kids had finished talking before replying to each of them. Then, she asked them, “Where’s your daddy?”Rainie pointed upstairs, “Daddy is upstairs. He’s still working.” "Alright. Be good. I'm going upstairs to discuss something with him." Luca had bought some chocolate-flavored candies before she came back. She took them out of her pocket and gave two candies to each of them. Then, she headed upstairs. After what had happened today, she was pretty sure that she would not get into trouble. Still, she had to tell Luke about it.She walked upstairs to the second floor. Luca directly knocked on his bedroom door. This time, it was not because of her affairs but about Nina and the Mallory family. It had nothing to do with their love matters. Hence, she was able to face him directly. “Come in.” Luke’s voice came from inside.Luca pushed the door open and saw that the man was busy with his work. He was typing on the keyboard handling his work. He
Luke knew Luca would leave herself a way out. Even though the police officers had come looking for her, there was nothing they could do to her.However, he would never allow the woman he loved to suffer. Hence, he put a cold expression on his face and walked in front of Luca. "Come on. Let's see what they're up to."Luca looked at the man’s tall figure from behind. She zoned out a little.Luke was standing in front of her to protect her. When Luca recalled what he did for her every time she was in trouble, she would always have mixed feelings deep in her heart. It was a bittersweet feeling. Luca did not space out for long. The moment Luke stepped on the stairs, she quickly followed behind him.The police officers who were waiting in the living room saw Luke coming down first. They exchanged glances with each other. Did they not come here to arrest a woman called Luca? Why was Luke Crawford here?“Sir, why is the woman together with Luke Crawford?” a young police officer asked
The chief police officer replied hurriedly, “No. There are no grounds to the case, so you don’t have to sign anything.” Luca smiled and said, “Then I shall leave first.”"Sure, sure." The chief police officer sent her out of the police station himself. After watching her leave, he turned around and looked at his subordinates. "Next time, before you go and bring someone in to aid in the investigation, take a proper look at the evidence on hand and see whether or not the actions can be constituted as a crime. Just look at what happened today. We’ve only wasted our time and resources." "Yes, Chief," the older police officer replied. He only watched the footage without thinking that much.After analyzing the case, he believed that Pierre intentionally fell to the ground to set Luca up. "This matter has to be made public. Write a review report later and hand it to me before you get off work." The chief police officer turned around and returned to his office after that. “Yes, sir.”
