Marcos had no problem with her arrangement. He nodded and said, "Yes."Tina nodded and confirmed the itinerary with Lliam.Luca opened the mini bar in the car and asked Marcos, "Mr. Marcos, would you like something to drink?""No, thank you." Marcos shook his head and looked at her with his deep-set eyes.Luca felt Marcos' gaze, but she did not feel uncomfortable when he looked at her. She did not react to it and instead asked the assistant who was with him, "Andy, would you like something to drink?""No, thank you for your hospitality," Andy said politely.Luca closed the door of the mini bar.Marcos asked, "Ms. Craw, do you mind if I ask a question?""Go for it." Luca sat upright, looked at Marcos, and nodded politely. She knew that Marcos would not ask hard questions, so she felt casual about it. "Has everything been alright after you returned to A City?" Marcos' slender legs were crossed. He was taller than the average person. The spacious car space was slightly cramped w
Luca knew that Matysh would not be easy to deal with.He had a strong family backing him. Even if Marcos could help, Matysh did not take Marcos seriously.While Luca reassured Tina, she got a headache thinking about Matysh.She could not even imagine what she would have to face if Matysh was working with Abel.Maybe Abel would send her off to Matysh…However, she was confident that Matysh would not know her connection to the Island of Despair. Even so, anything was possible...Luca lowered her gaze. When she thought of that, she made up her mind to quickly research the antidote and get rid of Abel's control.In the suite.Andy walked up to Marcos and respectfully said, "Boss, Mr. Matysh seems to have plans to visit A City. He has already booked a flight ticket for three days later.""Three days?" Marcos frowned. He knew that Matysh must have taken action recently, so he came here one step ahead of him.However, he did not expect that Matysh would act so quickly. ‘Did he make
Andy took a few banknotes out of his pocket and handed them to them as their tips. He did not exchange currency when he came here. Hence, he could only give them Russian rubles. However, the hotel was an international hotel. The hotel waiter would not be surprised to see different kinds of currency. He left the suite after receiving the tips. Marcos looked at the dishes served on the table. They were delicate and sumptuous. It was as expected from the local delicacies. He said, “Looks good.”Andy nodded and replied, “The food is delicate, indeed. But if you’d like to eat more, these wouldn’t be enough.”Andy took the food poison detection kit out of the bag he brought along with him here.The kit was used to detect the safety of the food. It was because of Marcos’ special identity. As his assistant, Andy would prepare it just in case someone was trying to harm Marcos. Marcos patiently waited for Andy to finish testing the food. After making sure the food was safe to consume, M
After Luca and Tina accompanied Marcos to another place, Luca asked, “Mr. Marcos, may I ask you a question?”“Yes. Go ahead and ask,” replied Marcos.“You’ve been asking Andy to leave you alone every time you arrive at a certain place. Are you looking for something?” Luca asked. Marcos was not planning to tell Luca about his family affairs. After all, if the elders in his family found out that his mother might be alive, his mother would probably be in danger. "I'm looking for my memories. It's a pity that these places have changed so much. They’re so much different from how they used to be," Marcos deliberately spoke in a regretful tone. Tina nodded while holding a cup of warm coffee in her hands. “Mr. Marcos, the places we’ve been to for the past two days are different from how they used to be. And I heard the older generation say that many places were reconstructed 20 years ago. In fact, they’ve been reconstructed many times so far. The old buildings were demolished, just li
Marcos looked at the yard in front of him. He had no idea if this was the farmhouse restaurant that her mother had told him about before.“I’m looking forward to it after all those things you’ve told me,” said Marcos.“Let’s go in. I’ve reserved a private room. It won’t be too noisy,” replied Tina. She pushed the door open and invited them.Marcos said gentlemanly, “Ladies first.” Luca did not delay any longer and stepped into the restaurant first. Andy was holding the door, signaling Tina to enter the restaurant first. Tina knew they were gentlemen, so she did not say a word and followed behind Luca. After the two ladies entered the restaurant, Marcos stepped into the restaurant.Tina was close with the owner of the restaurant here. That was why she was able to reserve a private room at the last minute. The female owner came up and led the way when she saw Tina. She brought the four of them to the private room. The private room was nicely decorated. There were barely any gre
At last, Luca checked Tommy’s homework. Tommy got it all correct too. After she signed the exercise books, the kids put their books back into their bags. After Tommy kept his book in his bag, he could not help but ask, “Ms. Luca, you’ve been coming home late for the past two days. Did Daddy give you too much work?”Luca smiled and shook her head. She picked up a strawberry with a toothpick, handed it to him, and said, “I can get off work on time tomorrow.” “That’s great.” Tommy opened his mouth and took a bite of the strawberry.Luca had been coming home late for the past few days as she needed to entertain Marcos. Hence, Aunt Neile had been looking after the kids lately. However, it was not totally because of Marcos. After Marcos ate his dinner, he would let Luca and Tina go back. After all, there were no scenic spots to be seen at night. Marcos did not enjoy nightlife entertainment either. However, Luca would return to T Corporation to check the experiment data after leavin
As Luke listened to Luca’s soft breathing, there was tenderness in his eyes while he looked at her.Luke had gotten used to the darkness in the room, and he was able to see the woman who was sleeping soundly on the bed while covered in the blanket. ‘You little devil,’ Luke could not help but secretly blame Luca for a moment. Luca did not pick up his calls, nor did she return his calls. She only explained it to him once by sending him a message. She was behaving so indifferently, and she was not concerned about his situation either. If it were not for the Mallory family who came to the villa, Luke would not have had the chance to listen to Luca's voice while he was out on the business trip. Heartless little woman…Luke was like a scorned woman, complaining to Luca about how she was being cold to him. However, there was nothing he could do. Luca was the only one who could make him experience such helpless feelings. It felt awful. Luke tiptoed to the bedside and quietly clim
Aunt Neile nodded and immediately took a bag out of the shelf. She took the American ginseng out and said, “Yes, ginseng is good for health. The old master asked Uncle Zander to send the ginseng here. He said it’s to improve your health. I was thinking of making some ginseng soup when Mr. Crawford came back. I’ll prepare it tonight.” Luca looked at the American ginseng in Aunt Neile’s hands and glanced at it. It was a wild ginseng root over a hundred years old. Although the Crawford family was not short of supplements, Old Master Crawford was willing to spend a lot on these. Nina brought the kids downstairs when breakfast was almost ready. Nina had hardly slept in for the past few days. She followed the kids’ routine and would wake up once they were awake. Then, she would urge the kids to freshen themselves up and head downstairs together. Luca told Nina that she did not have to do that and she could sleep in as long as she liked. After all, she knew Nina used to sleep in a lot
