Nina looked at Jean, and he subconsciously dodged her eye contact.She could tell what was going on with just one gesture of his.“Jean.” Nina’s voice was low and had a warning tone.Jean could not help but shiver a little and hurriedly said to Jonny, “Jonny.”Jonny lifted his hand and interrupted him, “Shut up.”Jean shut his mouth instantly.Jonny looked at Nina and said with a smile, “So you’re Percy’s girlfriend. Forgive me for the nonsense I said just now. It was ignorant of me to have failed to recognize you.”Nina was disgusted at Jonny’s change of attitude. Before she could give another eviction order, Jean informed him, “Jonny, my sister is now Percy’s fiancée.”Although the engagement was low-key, Percy’s announcement after it happened was very high-profile.Therefore, practically everyone in A City knew that Percy was engaged.“Oh, yes, yes, I forgot. Your sister is already engaged to Percy.” Jonny slapped the back of his head. “Hey, don’t blame me. If you had made
Nina snorted when she saw Marie weeping and sobbing. “If you had gotten together peacefully, then I wouldn’t have bothered. Besides, both of you are just two peas in a pod, hurting each other. I have no problem with that. But Marie, you compelled him to go to the Rayne family’s house today with malicious intentions. That’s why I brought this up. Jean, if you don’t believe me, open your email in an hour.”She uploaded the video the bar owner gave her onto her cloud storage because phones could easily be lost.Marie listened to her tone, and Nina did not sound like she was bluffing. She glared at Nina with bloodshot eyes and snarled at her. “Nina, why are you trying to screw me over?”Nina acted as if she did not hear her. She stared straight at Jean and warned him, “In the future, don’t even think of going to the Rayne family’s house. I’ve already told Aunt Rayne that if you dare cause her trouble again, she can just call the police without informing me.”After saying that, she turn
Jean squinted his eyes and looked at her red and swollen cheeks without a semblance of compassion. Instead, he felt resentment.Marie saw that he did not respond, so she immediately pounced and hugged him. “Jean, I really love you. Don’t give up on our relationship okay?”Jean listened to her weeping with disgust and said, “You can’t lie to me anymore.”“I swear, I’ll never lie to you again! Let’s live a happy life together, okay?” Marie reassured him.It occurred to Jean that Marie still had the Rayne family behind her, and he became gentle. He touched her red and swollen face and asked in a low voice, “Does it hurt?”Marie nodded.“I did this because I got too angry just now. I’m sorry. Don’t be angry at me,” Jean apologized. He knew that Marie wanted to get close to him for a reason, but at the same time, he had an ulterior motive for getting close to her as wellThe reason he overreacted was that he had just found out from Nina that Marie set him up.After Marie explained t
“Alright, I won’t see you off, then. It’s snowing, so be careful of your safety when driving,” Wanda reminded.Luca’s nose started to feel tingly. Wanda took care of her before she got married in Japan, and she did a better job taking care of her than anyone else. She realized that time and tide waited for no man as she saw the gray hair on her temples. The young ones were starting to grow old too.She had no way of repaying Wanda for all that she did for her in the past.“Okay, it’s cold. You should go in,” said Luca as she looked down and walked out of the gate.When she returned to her car, she did not have the time to get all sentimental as the three little children were waiting for her to pick them up.Luca drove off to pick up Lanie and the others.The classes that Old Master Crawford enrolled them in were the best in A City, so the three children had classes in separate locations.Luca would first pick up Lanie and Rainie, then she would go pick up Tommy.The moment Tomm
Rainie puffed her cheeks out and explained, “I’m the leading role, so the teacher said that my costume should be different from the other students.”The teacher also knew that she had plenty of dance costumes at home, so she did not prepare one for her.Lanie frowned. “But I don’t know how to pick one.”“Brother, aren’t you the smartest?” Rainie looked at the tutus. These few were the best-looking ones, but she somehow could not pick a favorite among them.Lanie raised his hand and flicked her forehead.“Ouch, what are you doing?” Rainie touched her head and looked at him in confusion.“I’m just a few minutes older than you. You should let mommy help you pick,” said Lanie. How could she let him pick when he knew nothing about tutus?“Shh.” Rainie immediately covered his mouth when he referred to Luca as Mommy. She looked back. Thank goodness no one was there.They had agreed to not address Luca as Mommy even behind her back to avoid Luca finding out.Instead, they should get u
Tommy could not help but exclaim, “I’m so full.”Aunt Neile was cleaning up the dishes and chuckled when she heard the child’s words. “With Ms. Craw here, Ms. Rainie and the young masters are not picky eaters at all.”Luca patted Tommy’s head. “Go walk around the living room okay? Aunt Neile will cut fruit for you later.”“Okay, Ms. Luca.” Tommy had always been hyperactive, so walking around was not a difficult task for him.Luca looked toward Lanie, who also ate a lot today.Lanie took the initiative to say, “Don’t worry, Ms. Luca. I’ll walk around to digest the food too.”“Ms. Luca, I don’t need to, right?” said Rainie as she was a girl, and her appetite was not very big. Although the meal Luca made was delicious, she did not eat as much as her brothers.The food on the table was mostly eaten by Lanie and Tommy.Luca shook her head. Girls were more concerned about their bodies and diet, so Rainie did not eat much.Rainie stood up and said, “Ms. Luca, help me pick out the tut
“Okay. Thanks, Tommy.” Luca took it from him and had a bite.“Ms. Luca, is the apple nice?” asked Tommy as he looked at her eagerly.“It’s delicious.” Luca took another bite. Aunt Neile was the one who picked out the apples, so there was no doubt that they would taste good.Tommy also picked up a slice of apple to eat as he snuggled next to Luca. He ate the apple while watching cartoons. He was over the moon.After the show ended, Luca urged the children to wash up and go to bed.The kids listened to her. An hour later, after Luca had made sure that everyone had gone to bed, she went back to her bedroom.She picked up the phone on her dresser to see that she had multiple missed calls. Her heart immediately dropped.When she opened her phone, she saw that they were all from Amur.Luca immediately called him back.The call went through, and Luca immediately asked, “Amur, are you back from your mission?”Amur sounded a little tired from the other end of the line. “Yes, I’m back.
Rainie’s teacher understood immediately. None of Rainie’s family members came. That was why the woman in front of her who claimed she was Luke’s subordinate came here. She said, “I see. Then will you stay to watch Rainie’s competition?” “Yes. I will,” replied Luca. Was it not obvious enough with Luca carrying a camera with the camera strap on her shoulder?“We’ve reserved seats in the auditorium for the kids’ family members. It usually starts on the second row. Please wait there,” said the teacher. Luca nodded. She put a smile on her face when she saw Rainie walk out of the room after getting changed. The look in her eyes was gentle and kind. “Ms. Luca, can you help me tie this?” Rainie walked past the teacher and asked for Luca’s help. Luca nodded, squatted down, and helped Rainie tie up every strap that needed to be tied. “Done.” Luca rose to her feet and encouraged her, “I’ll be watching your performance from out there. You got this!” “Alright, Ms. Luca.” Rainie smile
