After she did everything, she went back to her bedroom to rest. However, she heard the noises of a car driving in and the engine turning off. Luke had come back…Luca made her way down the steps. When she stepped on the curtail step, she happened to see Luke walking into the house. He looked cold as he closed the door. Luke frowned when he saw her and asked, “It’s late. Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”“I was going to sleep, but I heard the sound of your car…” Luca looked at Luke's face. He still looked energetic, but she had no idea if he had his dinner already. She asked, “Mr. Crawford, I saved some broccoli chicken casserole for you. Do you want some?”Luke did not have his dinner, but it was well past dinner time. He was not feeling hungry either. However, when Luke heard Luca asking him that, he asked her, “You made it?” “Yes. It only takes five minutes to reheat, then you can have it,” said Luca, remembering that Luke had a weak stomach. “Alright. I’ll have it,” replied
When she listened to Luca’s thoughtful words, Queenie was reminded of Bianca.If her daughter was as thoughtful as the person in front of her, she would not have to worry that much. Queenie looked at Luca's gentle face. Queenie always had this familiar feeling and unknown intimacy for Luca. Queenie’s eyes welled up a little while staring at her. She suddenly had inexplicable mixed feelings surging within her. “Luca, I’m sorry for what happened this time.” “Mrs. Norman, you didn’t do anything wrong. Why are you apologizing?” Luca shook her head. She smiled at her to calm Queenie down. Queenie was her biological mother. She would not blame her no matter what she did. Besides, Queenie had her own reason for what had happened this time. She could not blame Queenie and Jack for what had happened. “No, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have introduced someone to you before getting to know him better. Enoch must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?” Queenie reflected on everything t
Queenie was worried that Enoch was bothering Luca again when she heard that he had done something. She became nervous and said, “Enoch, things like love and relationships can’t be explained by just reason.” Enoch saw the anxious expression on her face and replied, “Mrs. Norman, don’t worry. I didn’t bother Luca. But I found out why she rejected me.” Queenie was startled for a moment, then she asked, “Why?” "I thought of picking her up from work yesterday, but after I saw her get into a cab, I followed her. I didn’t bother her. I just followed her all the way back to her house. However, I found out that she’s staying in a villa district in A City called Gilded Gem Villas. You should know about this villa district, right?" said Enoch. Gilded Gem Villas?Luca was startled. Previously when Luca was sent back home by their driver, she was clearly staying in an ordinary apartment building. Why was she suddenly staying in a luxurious villa district? “Enoch, did you get it wrong?”
The driver sent Jack a message. After reporting Queenie’s abnormal behavior, Queenie’s phone rang after some time had passed.Upon seeing that it was a call from Jack, she immediately placed her phone aside and did not intend to answer the call.The driver looked behind and saw that Queenie was still looking outside the window, paying close attention to every car that passed by.Seeing her in such a state left him with no choice but to remind her, "Mrs. Norman, your phone is ringing.""It's not important," said Queenie. Seeing that Jack was calling her at this hour, she figured that he just wanted to tell her that he would be home late. Compared to what she was doing now, which was waiting at this spot to see whether or not Luca would show up, this call was not important at all. The driver stuttered and felt that Queenie was not being herself. She just kept staring outside the window as if she was trying to catch her husband having an affair red-handed.Her phone rang more than
"Young Masters, Young Miss, Ms. Craw, please get into the car." Zander got down from the car and opened the door of the backseat.Lanie knew that the backseat had limited space, so he took the initiative and sat in the front passenger seat. He opened the front car door and got inside.Both his younger brother and sister loved staying close to their mother. Hence, as the elder brother, he was very mature and offered his seat to them so that they could be more comfortable.After they had all entered the car, Zander returned to the driver's seat.Luca said, "Uncle Zander, please drive us to a nearby mall first. I want to buy something."Since they were about to attend Jack and Queenie's wedding anniversary, she naturally should not attend empty-handed. She planned to get them some accessories as a gift.She would be doing the things Bianca used to do with her current identity as Luca.While Zander was putting on his seatbelt, he explained with a smile, "Ms. Craw, you don't have to p
It was because of Luca that Queenie was unable to smile. She lowered her eyes as she glanced at the smiles on the kids’ faces. She asked, "All of you are good kids, but why you guys are here?""Grandpa invited us over," said Tommy.Jack, who was holding Queenie's hand on the side, explained, "I know you love having crowds, so I invited Luke and the kids over to have a meal."Queenie looked at Luca.Lanie was good at observing one's expression. He listened to his father's orders and said, "But lately, Daddy has been very busy. He's always working overtime in the office. That’s why he told Ms. Luca to bring us over. He said someone has to watch over us. Otherwise, we’ll cause huge trouble and give Grandpa and Grandma a headache.” "Is that so?" Queenie was puzzled. If Luke had really asked Luca for help, then it would explain her entering the villa.However, it could only explain today’s incident."Yes. Mr. Crawford told me to bring the kids over so that they could celebrate the o
"Because Daddy said that the family is not peaceful now and it’ll affect our quality of life. That’s why we moved out. It’s not just us. Even Uncle and his family are moving out,” Rainie said.Queenie knew that this was because of Allison’s return. Kids would not tell lies, especially a little girl like Rainie.Queenie nodded, indicating that she understood. With a gentle smile, she said, “Alright, Rainie, you can go upstairs to play." "Alright, Grandma." Rainie got up and headed upstairs with little steps.Queenie’s heart faltered when she saw the child’s back. ‘If only Bianca was in the country. If she was around, the family would be a happy family.’ Luca stood in Jack's study and watched him search for his oil paintings in the collection rack. She did not say a word.Apart from loving to drink while socializing, his other hobby was collecting oil paintings. However, due to his status, he did not reveal this hobby of his."Oh, Luca. I should apologize for the things that
Queenie's face was red, and she started feeling embarrassed.Jack was usually a straightforward person and would seldom say such honeyed words. However, with Luca and the kids present today, he was acting rather unusual.Rainie said from the side, "Grandpa and Grandma do have a very close relationship."Luca smiled and softly squeezed the child’s little hand. After all, girls were different from boys. What they desired was different as well.Just then, the servant served sliced fruits and cake. Queenie said, "Come, have some cake and fruits."Kids loved sweet stuff, so they all took a slice of cake.Rainie was considerate and served her grandparents a slice of cake each. Then, she served another slice of cake to Luca. "Ms. Luca, have some cake."Luca shook her head and said, "No thanks. You go ahead and help yourself."Rainie nodded and sat down beside her. She started taking small mouthfuls of cake, enjoying herself very much. Luca continued looking at the photos. When she s
