Luke was secretly delighted that his small actions would make her react so strongly. He casually put his hands on the steering wheel after he fastened his seat belt.When faced with Luca, he felt as though he was a young schoolboy. He was head over heels for her since back then.Back then, he was not sure how to strike up a conversation with her, so he played on the court to attract her attention.Luke felt like he had gone back in time when he would secretly rejoice because of her small actions.Luca noticed that Luke had not started driving. She turned her head to the side and looked at the man's strong side profile. "Mr. Crawford?"Her voice was soft and gentle, grazing his ears like a gust of soft wind. All of the cells in Luke's body shuddered.He turned his head and looked at her, her gaze softening involuntarily."What's the matter?" he asked.Luca raised his hand slightly, pointed ahead, and asked hesitantly, "Aren't you going to drive?"After being reminded, Luke real
Luca thought Jack was acting a little weird.In the past, Jack had always been polite to her, but today, he was welcoming and kind.That was how he acted toward her when she was still Bianca.Luca nodded and sat on the chair.Jack looked at her delicate facial features. Her looks were significantly different from what she used to look like. ‘In the past few years, she has been controlled by a mysterious organization and was even forced to change her face. She must have suffered a lot…’He was distressed and could not help but blame himself for not protecting Luca well enough.Luke cleared his throat. After Jack found out that Luca was his daughter, his mentality must have changed. However, the change should not be too obvious so as to not arouse Luca’s suspicions."Father-in-law, I’ve already ordered some dishes to share. They’re home-cooked dishes. I also ordered a bottle of wine,” he said. "Did you go over the budget?" Jack came to his senses. He was deep in thought looking
It seemed that if she did not answer his calls or reply to his messages, Enoch would never let it go.Luca frowned. It was not the first time she had faced such a clingy man, but she did not expect Enoch to be like this too. She felt that Enoch, as an educated civil servant, should not be acting like this.Luke walked in front. Luca did not listen to the voice message and wanted to turn her phone on silent when Enoch sent another message.At that moment, Luke stopped and turned around to look at her.Luca used to have a narrow social circle. After she came back to A City as Luca, her circle became even smaller. From what he knew of her, her phone never rang like this during non-working hours."What's wrong?" He noticed that Luca seemed helpless and had a gut feeling that something had happened."It's nothing." Luca did not dare to tell him about Enoch. Although he said that his feelings for her had yet to reach fiery and intense, her intuition told her that if she told him, som
"No worries..." Queenie was slightly stunned when she heard that he had not won over Luca. She thought Luca was quite satisfied with Enoch.After all, Enoch was a good-looking bachelor. Many women were vying for a blind date with him."Have you encountered any difficulties?" Queenie thought about it and understood why he wanted to ask them out."No, I just want to invite the two of you to a meal." Enoch knew that talking on the phone would not give him the best opportunity, so he wanted to seize the opportunity to meet Queenie in person.Queenie thought about it for a while. She agreed, thinking that maybe he had something to talk to her about. "Okay, give me the time and date. Mr. Norman may not have time, so I'm not sure if he’ll attend. As for me, I’ll be there.""Okay, thank you, Mrs. Norman. I'll keep you posted once I’ve confirmed the date and time. I won't disturb you and Mr. Norman’s rest any further. Goodbye." Enoch was so happy that he wanted to jump upon hearing that Qu
Queenie noticed that Jack was reluctant to continue talking about the subject. Besides, it seemed like Jack had changed his attitude toward Luca. Queenie was worried about it. She was worried that something was going on with Bianca and Jack was choosing to avoid talking about it as he did not want to trigger her emotions. Queenie thought it would be better not to say another word when she saw Jack already lying on the bed.…The following day.Luca followed Luke’s car back to the office. She let out a sigh when there was no one around and pushed the car door open calmly. "Thank you, Mr. Crawford." Luca got out of the car right away after she thanked Luke. Since staying in the same villa as Luke, Luca had no reason to reject his offer to give her a ride to and back from the office as it was indeed convenient. After all, they had to be in the office at the same time. Luca would personally prepare breakfast for the children. She would leave for work after that, but Luke would
“I can tell who sent it without looking at it.” Luca felt annoyed. Giving Enoch the cold shoulder was not working at all. It seemed like she had to find a chance to make things clear with him.“Is it the guy you went on a blind date with?” Tina understood at once. If Luca was not happy to receive flowers from the man, that would only mean Luca was not interested in him.Tina looked at how distressed Luca was. It looked like the man had yet to notice that Luca had no feelings for him. Luca nodded and turned on her laptop. "I'm not planning to date anyone, let alone get married. So, I've been giving him the cold shoulder after we had lunch last time. But it seems like he's not giving up yet."Tina stroked her chin and made a suggestion. “If he’s not planning to give up, then you should just be honest and make it clear to him. If he continues to bother you, you can find someone else to put on a show with you. I’ve done that before to get rid of a nuisance.” Luca knew only too well
“Smokin' Hot Steakhouse? Alright, I’m coming down now.” Luca knew Queenie was looking for her because of Enoch, but she bit the bullet and went to meet her.“Oh, I reserved a private room. Just mention my name to the waiter when you come in later,” said Queenie. It was different this time. Last time, Queenie was hoping Luca's colleagues would know that Luca was on a blind date. That was why she picked a cafe without a private room. This time, Enoch needed to talk to Luca. They needed a quieter place to have a conversation. Hence, Queenie reserved a private room under her name. "Alright, Mrs. Norman. Please give me a moment. I'm heading there now," replied Luca. She hung up the call, stood up, and walked out of the office. While she was in the elevator going downstairs, she wondered if she should make it clear to Enoch in front of Queenie. She knew Queenie would be able to understand her. Love and relationships could not be forced, after all.What made Luca worried was that
Queenie let out a sigh. “Stop pushing yourself. It’s my fault. Love can’t be forced. Enoch, you just have to let it go.”Enoch smiled at her. Love could not be forced, but he had already fallen in love with Luca at first sight.Enoch had been single for years. It was not because no one had ever introduced him to other women, but it was he who felt that those women were no match for him. That was why he had chosen to stay single. That was all until he met Luca. Luca’s appearance, aura, personality, and career were good enough for him. That was how he began to fall in love with her. Enoch thought Luca would be satisfied with him, but he did not expect that Luca would show no interest in him. He had been living a smooth sailing life, but he had encountered setbacks at that particular moment. Enoch did not express his emotions in front of Queenie, but he was secretly holding a grudge against this matter. …On the other hand.Luca hurried back to the office. She let out a sigh
