“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
“Molly, I think that person was him,” said Mavis as she was about to walk out.Molly tugged on her hand and said with a frown, “Did you mistake him for someone else? How could there be such a coincidence? Plus, I think he was with a woman. Isn’t his wife abroad?”“I would’ve mistaken anyone else but not him. Wait here.” Mavis withdrew her hand and ran out.She spotted his figure not far away.Mavis ran in front of them, and tears welled up in her eyes. Although the man in front of her was wearing a cap and mask, she could tell that it was Luke from his physique and voice.“Is it you?” Her voice could not help but tremble.Luca did not expect Mavis to recognize Luke from one single word.Well, they did work together closely in their previous cooperations.Luke frowned when he saw Mavis in front of him. It had been three years since he last saw her. At that time, she used her own company to snatch the opportunity to cooperate with Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. Now, she stil
Luca nodded and said thoughtfully, “I overheard their conversation earlier. She seems to have an unhealthy obsession.”“She’s left her post for many years. When she left, we didn’t have any form of contact at all,” said Luke. After Mavis proposed to resign, he deleted her contact.Besides, there was no reason for them to keep in contact.Luca thought to herself that she was aware that Luke had really cut all ties with Mavis at the time.However, no one expected that even after a few years, the love Mavis had for him still had not died down.Luca said, “I also heard±”“I’m not interested in her affairs.” Luke squeezed her hand tightly. This woman kept bringing Mavis up. “Are you jealous?”Luca blinked and said resignedly, “Of course not…”She trusted Luke, so she would not let such trivial things ruin her mood.“Stop mentioning irrelevant people. What else do you need to buy?” Luke did not notice anything strange in her expression, which made him disappointed. How nice would it
They placed the bags on the coffee table and Luca began to sort the things.She was able to distinguish the items in the bag by the branding on the bags.Luca took out the bag that contained dessert and handed it to Aunt Neile. “Aunt Neile, this is the cake Mr. Crawford bought for you and your family.”“There’s something for me too?” Aunt Neile said in surprise, then looked at Luke to thank him. “Thank you, Mr. Crawford and Ms. Craw.”“You’re welcome,” said Luke. He looked at his phone screen and noticed some unread messages, so he said to Luca, “I need to go take care of some things.”“Okay.” Luca nodded, and after seeing him go upstairs, she picked up a few supermarket bags and unloaded the things.Some were kept at room temperature, whereas some had to be refrigerated.After Luca sorted the ones that had to go in the refrigerator, she said to Aunt Neile, “Aunt Neile, these need to be kept in the refrigerator. Could you please help me store them?”“Okay, Ms. Craw. “ Aunt Neil
"Here are your photos. Pick your favorites." Luke handed him the remote.Lanie took it and started going through his photos.He flipped through all the photos but did not have many thoughts, so he looked at Luke, unsure of which to choose."I think they’re all good," Luca said when she saw his expression.They had looked through all the photos. She did not see much of an issue for Lanie to pick everything.Rainie chimed in, "Yeah, Lanie is so handsome. If you can't choose, let’s have them all?"Lanie looked at Luke. He was unsure of which to choose."Let's take them all." Luke knew that his eldest son was not good at choosing photos, so he stopped embarrassing him and helped him make a decision.Luca smiled, looked at Rainie, and said, "It's Rainie's turn.""I’ll choose carefully!" Rainie gave a victory gesture.Luke started to show Rainie's photos.She loved to look at the details, and each of her photos was selected with special care.Aunt Neile, who was on the side, coul
Aunt Neile knew Luca was going to make a cake and had the cake molds ready.Luca started making cakes and some snacks for the children.Since it was Luke who promised to give them snacks, it was only natural for her to fulfill it. After all, they were also her kids...An hour and a half later.Luca's cakes and snacks were ready. She then started to help Aunt Neile prepare a sumptuous dinner.She glanced at the heavy snow that fell outside the window and could not help but sigh. "It's snowing again.""That's what the weather is like. The snow is beautiful. If it wasn’t too cold, the kids would all want to go out for snowball fights," Aunt Neile said with a smile."Kids do love to play with snow." Luca smiled and cut the washed meat into thin slices."This weather isn’t the best for driving, I wonder how our guests are doing." Aunt Neile was worried."It's alright, Lliam is a good driver. Mr. Crawford is there as well. We don't have to worry about that. Let’s focus on getting di
"Thank you." Vivian picked up the teacup Luca handed her, took a sip, and flashed a smile. "The taste is so mellow. I’ve never tried such good tea in Russia."Luca smiled and brought another cup to Luke."Thank you." He took a sip.Vivian put down the teacup and looked at Luca. "Luca, are you free tomorrow? Can you accompany me to the apartment to have a look?""Okay, I could do that." Luca agreed without hesitation.Tommy listened, raised his hand, and shouted, "I want to go too! Aunt Vivian, I want to visit your apartment too."Seeing his enthusiasm, Vivian smiled and said, "Okay, no problem."Luke shook his head and said, "Don't get in the way of the adults."Tommy pouted and protested, "Daddy, I can help too.""Don't cause any trouble and stay at home," Luke said with a stern expression. He did not allow him to be reckless. Vivian went to Luca to ask for help because she trusted Luca.If the children were over, the two of them would be distracted taking care of them.Tom
Gordan called him the moment he replied to him."Brother, isn't it Sunday in A City today?" Gordan asked the moment Luke answered the phone."It's Saturday," Luke corrected him softly as he turned on his computer and looked at his unread work emails."You don't look at your phone on a Saturday? I've been looking for you all day." Gordan's tone was a little impatient, but he respected Luke, so he did not throw a tantrum despite his frustrations being accumulated all day. "I had some work to deal with, so I put my phone on mute. I didn't pay much attention to it afterward." Luke read his emails one after another patiently. He noticed Gordan's anxious voice but did not ask him what it was about.He did not need to ask Gordan to know why he was looking for him.If he had known it would come to this, he would not have acted that way."Ahem, are you that busy?" Gordan wanted to immediately ask what was on his mind, but he held back."It’s the end of the year," Luke continued with hi
