“Business trip? Why are you going on a business trip again?” Old Master Crawford said querulously. He knew that Luke was going on a business trip to handle T Corporation’s matters, but the old master was unhappy now. Luke would rather stay up all night and waste his efforts than take the initiative to look for Luca and solve his problem. One could not make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear! “It’s the company’s affairs,” replied Luke.Old Master Crawford sneered. He knew it must be related to the company. It was just that Luke had never thought about his marriage! Even though the old master was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he could not rewind the time to last night no matter what he did. Besides, Luca was smart. She should have noticed that there was something wrong with the tonic. Hence, the old master could not use such ways anymore. “Let’s eat,” said Old Master Crawford. Luca let out a sigh. It was fortunate that the old master did not c
“Madam Crawford, isn’t it a bad idea to look at this?” The guard hesitated. Although Old Master Crawford did not tell him that he should not watch the footage, there was a chance that he might get fired if the old master found out about it.“What’s wrong with it? The security cameras installed in the house belong to the Crawford family. Am I not the madam of this family? Why can’t I see it?” Susan raised her brows and threatened, “You’ll be fired if you don’t help me get the footage.” The guard had no choice but to search for the footage after getting threatened by her. "Give me a second," replied the guard. He began to open all the security footage folders and checked which one had been opened recently. Susan rushed him, “Make it fast. I have an appointment later.” The guard nodded and looked at a bunch of security camera footage recordings. There were many security cameras in Crawford Manor. Most of them were installed outside the gate and in the public areas in the house.
Luca nodded. She did not expect the old master to sign up for a class for the kids.“There’s no need to trouble Uncle Zander. I’ll send you there. Wait a minute. I’m going to get the car keys.” Luca turned around and headed to the living room to get the keys. Although it was difficult to drive on a snowy day, she had been driving often lately. That was why she was confident to take up the job. Lanie and Rainie nodded. They stood still while waiting for Luca.Tommy was the only one pouting his mouth and following behind Luca. “Ms. Luca, I don’t want to go to class. Can I stay?” "Why?" Luca picked up the car keys and looked at him with confusion. Were they not the ones who chose which classes they would be attending? Tommy’s dark pupils were filled with a grievance as he said, “I didn’t want to go to that class. But Great-grandpa said I’m too naughty and need to train my character so I could be calmer. That’s why he chose the calligraphy class for me.”Luca nodded to tell Tomm
"By the way, I promised the kids that I'll be preparing dinner tonight, so please don't prepare dinner. I'll come back to cook." Luca informed Aunt Neile so that she would not prepare dinner in advance. The kids were picky with their food. They would know who prepared the meal with just a bite. Luca was trying to prevent them from wasting food.“Alright. I got it. Ms. Craw, drive safely,” said Aunt Neile with a smile on her face. She appreciated that Luca would always inform her of things in advance. This could prevent her efforts and time from being wasted. Luca nodded, indicating that she heard her. Then, she turned around and walked out of the villa. After Luca put the gift bags into the car, she was ready to drive to the hospital. Her phone notification suddenly rang, telling her that she had received a message. Luca picked up her phone. It was a message from Luke. [Boarding now.] Those simple words seemed to throb in Luca's heart. Luke was telling her where he was. Al
Johann was not here. Luca could not guarantee that Dr. Wood would be able to remember it after she taught him. That was why she asked Nina to record a video so that Dr. Wood could watch the video after this.“Sure.” Nina took her phone out. Although she thought looking at the needles pricking into the flesh was painful and cruel, Luca was the one who asked for her help, so she would definitely help out.Luca opened the new set of needles. She began inserting the needles after Mrs. Hugh went out of the ward.Dr. Wood was standing beside her, learning seriously while listening to Luca’s explanation. Nina was stabilizing her hands while holding the phone and recording the process of Luca inserting the needles into the acupoints. Nina glanced at Tyrone. He did not seem like he was in pain looking at his expression. She could not help but whisper to herself how miraculous it was.Even though the needles were fine and thin, it usually hurt when one was pricked with them. However, the
“Marie isn’t a good person…” Luca could not help but blurt out.“You know that too. It’s troubling me so much. I regret bailing him out of jail now. My mom will surely get mad and pass out if she finds out about this.” Nina frowned. If Anna knew about this, she might think that not bailing Jean out of jail was the right choice. At least Jean would not have gotten back together with Marie. Nina refused to believe that Marie was truly in love with Jean. After all, Marie never visited him when Jean was caught. "Yeah, I know. Previously, when I was helping Old Man Rayne recuperate his health at his house, I saw Marie making a scene at the entrance of the district. Ms. Rayne told me about her," replied Luca. She did not expect a grown-up like Jean to be such a dunderhead. It was as though he was out of his mind. He was actually still attracted to Marie after what had happened. Luca reckoned that Marie took the initiative to approach Jean because of Percy.It was not because she wa
“Congratulations, Ms. Nina.” Kari and Teri wished Nina after Sue wished her. Sue had taught them to do so before they went out. “How thoughtful and adorable you two little cutie pies are. I’d really like to bring you back home for a few days.” Nina smiled and stroked Kari’s head. The child was sitting beside her.Luca looked at the engagement gift and smiled. “Congratulations, Nina. I wish you all the love and happiness.” “Thank you,” replied Nina. Although Luca was not as talkative as Sue was, she knew Luca’s wish was sincere and true.One could not define a person's sincerity by how many words were spoken. Teri, who was sitting beside Sue, saw the engagement gift Sue was holding and said, “Mommy, I’d like to eat the candy.” “We’re having lunch soon. Is it alright if you eat it after lunch?” Sue discussed this with her daughter with a gentle voice.“No, I want to eat it now. It looks yummy.” Teri was greedy. She looked at the candy and acted cutely in front of Sue as she as
“Alright, let’s order.” Nina handed the other menu to Sue, while she shared a menu with Luca.After ordering, they discussed the current affairs in A City.Luca did not say anything as she did not know much about what was going on in A City, so she just listened to them talk.They were exposed to much more things than she was.Luca was always in the laboratory working on the research. She practically had no chance of coming in contact with the outside world.However, Nina and Sue were different.They were still the backbone of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. They were in charge of the decision-making for basically all the matters at the company. It was only when it came to a particularly important decision that they would leave it up to Luke.Sue and Nina talked for some time before noticing that Luca had not spoken at all, so Sue apologized, “Sorry about that, Luca.”“Why apologize? The things you’re talking about are quite interesting,” Luca said with a smile. They were t
