Even if Nina had no idea about it, how could Percy not know about it?Percy had even asked his lawyer to draft the contract.Jean looked at the satisfied smile on Anna’s face. He had this feeling that there was something wrong, so he frowned. Anna noticed that and said, “Son, we don’t have to depend on others anymore in the future. Why are you still frowning?” Jean asked, “Mom, let me take a look at the contract.” “Contract? What contract?” Anna was startled for a moment. Then, she realized what Jean was talking about and immediately said, “I don’t have the contract.”Earlier, Anna was disgusted when she looked at Nina. That was why she did not take the contract. She had a feeling that it would bring bad luck to her when she saw Nina’s name. “Why didn’t you take it?” Jean’s voice was rising uncontrollably.“Why should I take it? She agreed to sever ties with her family and they gave me the money. She has nothing to do with us anymore,” said Anna. “Aren’t you afraid that t
When Luca got into Warren's car and headed back to T Corporation, it was already lunchtime.Luca hurried upstairs, assuming that Luke must have finished eating his lunch by now. She planned to head downstairs to grab something to eat after she put her briefcase in her office.Luca walked out of the elevator and shot a glance at the assistants’ office first. Zoey and Rhett were not in the office. She reckoned that they had gone out for lunch.Then, Luca walked back to her office, pushed the door open, and saw Luke, who was sitting on the sofa. She was startled for a moment. “Mr. Crawford, why are you…” Luca glanced at the lunch boxes on the coffee table. They were unopened. Luke had been waiting for her to come back and have lunch with her.“Come over here. Let’s have lunch together,” said Luke as he opened the lids of the lunch boxes.Luca put down her briefcase and walked toward the sofa before sitting down. Then, she said, “You didn’t take your lunch first. You even waited for
Although Luke had arranged for a translator to be by her side, Allison could cause less trouble when she was in a country she did not speak the language of.However, the hospital could only hold Allison for a few months only. Allison replied with dissatisfaction, "Other countries? I heard that Seoul has the world's best plastic surgery technology. Are you thinking of sending me to a different country? The farther the better? It’s just like how you treated Bianca, huh? You sent her abroad and found a new girlfriend for yourself. Why? Are you trying to do the same thing to me so that you can acknowledge Susan as your biological mother?"Allison had seen their so-called family photo. Susan had sent it to her to show off. It was as though Susan was dropping her a hint that her son was no longer hers. Allison was pissed when she saw the family photo. If it were not for the nurses who stopped her, she might have smashed everything on the floor.“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Okay. Let’s go.” Luke held Luca’s hand. They were about to make their way down the stairs.Luca paused. She gently withdrew her hand, shook her head, and said, "Go."She was worried that the kids would feel uncomfortable if they saw her being too close to Luke.After all, they already had a mother. If they saw their father holding another woman’s hand, what would they think about it?The kids were attentive. Luca did not want them to have such negative thoughts. Even though she slept with Luke every night, the kids were already asleep at that hour. They would not see them sleeping together. That was why Luca did not say anything about it.However, every time she woke up earlier, she would carefully close the door. That way, the kids would not enter her bedroom without her permission.Luke knew something was holding her back. He felt helpless as there was nothing he could do about it.The kids had found out that Luca was their mother earlier than he did, but Luca was still bei
The makeup artist smiled and said, “A wife in the 1930s? It does suit your looks.” Luca looked at herself in the mirror. The makeup artist had already started to get ready before doing her makeup. She had never thought that Luke would ask her to choose the theme she liked for her photoshoot.If she knew she would be taking photos too, she would have chosen something simple.After all, she would have to put on a silk gown to dress up like a wife in the 1930s.Silk gowns were close-fitting and would show the contours of the body…Luca’s face reddened at the thought of Luke losing control when he saw her in a close-fitting dress. “Uh, can I change to another theme?” Luca asked the makeup artist.The makeup artist could not understand why Luca wanted to change the theme, so she said, “Ms. Luca, the vintage look will look great on you. Why would you like to change?”"I think it's too complicated. The silk gown is a bit too much," said Luca.The makeup artist smiled and said, “Y
The makeup artist came in and looked at Luca's slim figure. Her eyes shone with admiration. "Ms. Luca, you look gorgeous in this silk gown.""You did a great job at dressing me up." Luca felt embarrassed to receive such compliments."We just bought this silk gown yesterday. It was designed and sewn by the best tailor in our country. Speaking of that, you're lucky to be able to have this beautiful gown. It's just that the waistline of the gown is a little wider. It needs some altering." The makeup artist sized her up and found out what was wrong with just a glance.Luca's waist was too small. The gown was in the smallest size, but Luca's waist was still too small for the gown.“Your assistant has already gone looking for the tailor,” said Luca."Okay. It's better to look for the tailor. It won't take long to alter this. Besides, I don't dare to do anything to such good material," said the makeup artist. Then, she put the faux fur coat and pieces of jewelry aside.After a while, th
“I’ve never worn a silk gown. I don’t know if it’ll suit me…” Luca felt a little embarrassed. It was as though Luke’s burning gaze could light the cells in her body on fire. “It looks good on you. Don’t doubt what I said. If I say you look great, you do. It suits you perfectly,” Luke assured her and gently squeezed her hands.If it were not for the outsiders around them, Luke would have pulled her into his arms and murmured to her how beautiful she was in a soft voice. Luca smiled and replied, “Mr. Crawford, you look handsome in this military uniform too.”She finally understood why couples loved wearing silk gowns and military uniforms to take couple photoshoots.Wearing this for the photoshoot would make it seem like their love had lasted for a century.The moment she saw Luke in the uniform, she fell into a daze and seemed to see their past lives.Luca held Luke’s hands, interlocking her fingers with him.The assistant stood beside the makeup artist, looking at them from b
"I'll never hold Daddy back," Tommy mumbled.While the three kids were chattering away, the last photoshoot session had ended.Before Luca could talk to the kids, the makeup artist’s assistant asked her to get changed and remove her makeup.Luke was not in a hurry. He walked toward the kids and said, “All of you did well today.”“Daddy, I think we did great too,” Tommy replied proudly.Luke stroked the kids' heads to compliment them. Then, he turned to look at Aune Neile and said, "Aunt Neile, after they remove their makeup, get them into Warren's car and go back home."“Okay, Mr. Crawford.” Aunt Neile was confused after she agreed with Luke. Then, she asked, “Mr. Crawford, didn’t you say that Ms. Luca doesn’t know what to prepare for New Year’s and that’s why you asked me to come along with you?”“We still have time. List down the things that we should buy for New Year’s,” said Luke. Aunt Neile would not have to list down everything if Luke was not putting on a show."Okay. I'
