"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
When Luke drove back home, he saw that the lights were still on.He knew there was someone waiting for him.This love that he had been waiting so long for made him feel a surge of warmth in his heart. There were so many others waiting for him to return, yet none of them could provide more warmth than Luca could.Luke entered the house.Luca had long heard the noises outside and was sitting on the sofa, waiting for him to enter. If it were in the past, she would definitely be scolded if he saw her sitting on the mat on the floor.It was as though she did it subconsciously.Seeing Luke made her feel chilly as though it was cold outside. She then got up and said, "Do you want a cup of warm water, Mr. Crawford?""Sure." Luke nodded. The weather was getting colder as the days went by, but with Luca around, he would always be instantly warmed up again.Fortunately, she still returned to his side even after going through so many incidents.Looking at Luca's back as she went into the
"If you're too busy, just give the butler of Crawford Manor a call. He’ll arrange for a nanny to come over to take care of the kids." Luke knew that Luca had a lot of things to do. After all, she took on many jobs in T Corporation. Later on, she would be much busier than she was now as she would be swamped with work and had to take care of the kids as well. He was worried she would be overwhelmed."Alright, I got it. Just rest assured." Luca nodded. Currently, all she could do was reassure him. He would no longer be as troubled once Allison was sent out of the country. Luke looked at Luca, who was far away from him. Even the tone she used to speak seemed to carry a great sense of distance between them. She was probably not as calm as she appeared. However, she was very good at putting on an act. Looking at her now, she seemed composed.She was obviously concerned about him, yet insisted on putting on an act as though she was merely an employee obeying her superior’s commands. T
"So, that's how it is." Luca nodded, indicating she understood.Upon arriving at the office, both of them stepped out of the elevator at the same time.Tina looked at the time and said, "I think Alya has already arrived at the office. Why don’t I bring you over so you two can introduce yourselves?” Luca knew that Alya was the translator who had just come back from her pregnancy leave. She nodded and said in agreement, "Alright."After all, they would be working together for the next half a month. It would be a wise move to introduce herself to her now. Tina entered the secretary’s office and indeed, Alya was already sitting inside. Tina greeted her with a smile. "Alya, long time no see. I've been waiting for you to return to work. How have you been? Is your baby obedient?"Alya looked at Tina and smiled. "Long time no see. The baby is obedient. If it isn’t because the company needed me to return, I really wouldn’t want my pregnancy leave to end. I want to accompany my baby long
Allison was a little surprised. Then, she burst into laughter. Her grin was too wide without her realizing it, which caused her skin to stretch and left her in pain. Fortunately, she was wearing a hat and a mask. Otherwise, everyone would have been able to see her contorted features. Luke took in a cold breath when he heard her laughing, and his face still remained composed.Allison calmed down when she was no longer in pain. Recently, she seldom took the medication prescribed by Luca. Hence, her skin had become much more sensitive. Sometimes, when she did large movements, her wrinkled skin would stretch and cause her to be in pain.She looked at Luke, and the latter did not show any expression of concern.Allison was used to it and did not need his concern either. All she cared about was the money she received."Did you think I wouldn’t know about what had happened during my time in prison? If you still love Bianca, then why were you two sleeping in separate rooms? At the end
After Enoch left, Queenie let out a breath of relief.She hoped this issue would end and no more trouble would crop up.…In the afternoon, Luca was still busy at work.That was because the department downstairs had sent a few documents that needed to be translated. Hence, Luca and Alya started dividing the workload.Alya took the initiative to take up a larger workload.Luca did not say a word. She was just meant to substitute the translator from the start, so now that Alya was back, it was only normal that she take up a larger workload. If it was not because she had to follow up with other tasks and was very busy at the moment, she would have directly gone back to the research laboratory downstairs. No one would have commented anything about it. Luca picked up the documents and walked back to her office.Alya saw her figure that was leaving and said with a sigh, "It's good to have your own office."Tina, who was sitting in front of her, heard it. She said with a smile, "A
If she were Bianca, she would have a lot of advice and words of yearning to tell him. She would ask him to focus on dealing with the matter at hand.However, she was Luca, not Bianca.Even though there were thousands of words in her heart, she could not say anything because she was in no position to.Luca thought about it and replied, "Okay."She then put down her phone and got down to work.Until she got off work, Luke did not text her.Luca guessed that he was busy.After all, they were not involved in any way or form. There was no need for him to update her on his schedule all the time.Seeing that it was time to get off work, Luca packed up some documents and prepared to leave the office.After Alya placed the translated documents in Jason's office, she was surprised to see Luca heading off. "Dr. Craw, are you done for the day?""Yes." Luca nodded. Alya had taken over most of the workload. Since she was done with her part and considering that Nina would be over for dinner
