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
Luke did not say a word as he stopped. His gaze was as sharp as a razor, piercing through the skinny woman in front of him. He had to admit that everything that Nina had gone through was because of him and Bianca. However, after Nina experienced all those things, Luke had done his best to compensate her. He did everything he should have done. Although he owed her a favor, he would not take things too far. Nina saw Luke’s sharp gaze. What kind of gaze had she never seen after living together with Percy for such a long time? However, she felt an inexplicable fluster in her heart. She suppressed her emotions and said calmly, “I wasn’t asleep when you came back last night. I was sitting on the balcony outside the house without the lights on. That’s why you didn’t notice I was there.”Nina had been positive and calm for the past few days, but deep down in her heart, she felt like she was on pins and needles. She could hardly fall asleep at night without taking Luca's medicine. It
It had been a long time since Luke had a lie-in. He blamed Luca's scent that remained on the bed even after she had already gotten out of bed. Luke happened to fall asleep again when he closed his eyes. It was as though he was cuddling with her in bed. He unknowingly woke up late. “I could see you were tired and needed more rest…” Luca said in a depressed tone. At the same time, she was confused. This man was cold to her when he was on his business trip, but he was hugging her now, refusing to let her go. Did he really treat her as a toy who was at his beck and call? Luca refused to think so, but it was the reality that made her forced her to think about it like this.“It was tiring,” Luke held her in his arms, resting his jaw on her head. The distance between them was intimate. “I’ve been busy with the acquisition for the past few days. I worked day and night to finish everything, then I came back.”Luca listened to Luke talking about what he did during his business trip. It
Luke came back within three days, and he managed to acquire the company. How did he do that?Andy finally realized that there was really someone as capable as his boss. “Thank you.” There was no arrogant look on Luke’s face. Neither did he show any cheerful expressions on his face. It was as though successfully taking over the company was in his plans, and it was nothing worth celebrating or something to be proud of. Marcos was impressed with how calm Luke was. After working in M Group for a long time, he had seen too many people who grew complacent about their small achievements. They thought that a bright future awaited them regardless.They eventually became proud and ended up being devoured in the business world.A mature man like Luke Crawford could handle surprises and overcome challenges with confidence. He was the king.Tina pushed the lounge door open and Luke invited them, "Mr. Marcos, please."“Thank you.” Marcos and Luke walked into the lounge together while Andy f
As for what kind of measures Luke was going to take, it would depend on how obsessed Matysh was with Luca. “What’s the worst that can happen?” Marcos asked."He'll not be able to return to Russia." Luke was not trying to deceive him. Since they were going to cooperate, then they should be honest. A trace of malevolence flashed across Luke's eyes. If any man had inappropriate ideas toward the woman he loved the most, he would make sure that the other party was doomed.Marcos frowned and replied, “Mr. Crawford, aren’t you afraid that I’ll stop you if you’re so honest? Old Master Abaza has high expectations of him among the others in the Abaza family.”If it were not for Matysh, who showed no interest in running the company, Marcos would not have had the chance to become the CEO of M Group. Besides, Marcos would have to give up everything he had done to develop the company with just a word from Matysh. Luke understood Marcos was concerned about his family.Even though his fami
