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'
After they were seated, the waiter asked, “Mr. Crawford, should we serve the dishes now?”“Yes.” Luke nodded. He had already placed the order when he was booking the private room.After all, there were a ton of things they needed to buy, so doing this would save some time. He did not want to see Luca being tired.Luca did not say anything after knowing that Luke had placed the order for them. She picked up the glass of lemonade and took a few sips.She was wearing lipstick during the photoshoot. It would trouble the makeup artist to touch up her lipstick whenever she drank some water. That was why she did not drink anything. She was thirsty now.The waiter nodded. When he was about to leave, Luke said, “I’d like to have a glass of grape juice, please.”“Okay, Mr. Crawford. Just a moment,” replied the waiter.After the waiter left, there were only two of them in the private room.Luca sat right opposite Luke. She felt embarrassed. Then, she picked up the glass of lemonade and to
Luca was surprised, then she turned to look at Luke.Couple’s lunch set?Luca glanced at the dishes on the table. They were indeed a couple’s meal set. She noticed that the foie gras was in a heart shape too.The same went with the straw of the grape juice.Luke noticed that Luca was surprised, but he did not make any explanation.There was nothing much to explain. They were on a date, after all. Of course, it had to be romantic. It was normal to order a couple’s meal set.After the waiter left and closed the door, Luke placed the appetizer and main course in front of her. He said, "Try them and see if you like them."Luca nodded. Then, she had a taste of the appetizer. It tasted like authentic French cuisine. She nodded and said, "It tastes good."“Have some more,” said Luke. He picked up the cutleries and tasted the food as well.As expected from a restaurant recommended by a food magazine. The food tasted good. Luke tasted the food while sizing Luca up at the same time.Lu
Luke pouted as he could not wait to tell the world that his beloved Bianca had returned.However, he could only comply with her orders as of right now to keep a low profile and not expose her identity, which made him feel helpless.He liked to be in control of everything, and he felt a sense of accomplishment knowing that everything was going according to his plan.This situation with Luca gave him a sense of frustration.Luke tried his best to grasp more about Luca’s situation, but he still felt powerless in the end.“Mr. Crawford?” When Luca noticed his grim expression, she thought that her previous statement had upset him.The mall belonged to him, so having someone follow them around while carrying their bags was normal. However, they had no choice but to carry their own bags because of her request to keep a low profile. Hence, they lost preferential treatment. “Okay, we can make a few trips so you don’t need to carry so much.” Luke came to his senses and made this decisio
“His actions made me even more annoyed.” Mavis frowned as she felt even more disgust for that person.Molly shook her head and bought two boxes of calcium tablets. “You just hate when people make a move on you first. I think he’s not bad, but you’re disgusted just because he took the initiative. Don’t tell me that after so many years, you’re still hanging onto that cold Mr. Crawford?”Luca was looking at a magazine, but as soon as she heard ‘Mr. Crawford’, her attention was diverted over there.At the mention of Luke, Mavis’ eyes showed emotions of a broken heart as she was bound to be at the mercy of Luke.Although she had not met Luke for a long time, every dream she had was related to him. Her longing and love kept increasing with every news report about him.Many people had pursued her over the years, but none of them were as outstanding as Luke.Mavis would not settle for just anyone, so she regarded all those men as playboys and ignored them.Her heart was already occupied
