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
Gordan did not force him, nor did he blame Luke for his response.He knew that Vivian had tipped Luke off in advance, so he did not press further. Gordon said, "I see.""Sorry." That was all Luke could say."You didn't do anything..." Gordan was not that irrational to blame Luke for Vivian divorcing him.After they ended the call, Luke put his phone aside. He looked toward the door when he heard footsteps.Luca was heading upstairs."Luca." Luke stopped Luca, who was just about to walk into the bedroom."Huh?" Luca turned around to look at him.The memory of sitting on his lap to look at the photos was vivid. She could not help herself from blushing."I have something to tell you," Luke said. He was worried that Gordan would find Luca and she would tell him about Vivian.Although Luca was not someone who gossiped, he thought that anything could happen if he did not specifically warn her."Can I go see the kids first?" Luca asked. Luke did not look too serious, so she guessed
Unless someone disclosed it to him.However, Gordan had never bothered to get to know her, so he had no idea who her friends were.He only knew Jones, whom he was closest to among the bunch.[Okay, take care of yourself in A City!] Jones replied within minutes.Vivian looked at the hotel’s decoration. She was in a family apartment suite that Luke booked for her and Ray. Everything here was of A City’s style.Everything here was great.[A City is great. Jones, I'm sorry for getting you involved with Gor…] Vivian typed. When she got to Gordan's name, she paused and felt a little guilty. She then typed: [I’m sorry that Gordan is harassing you. You can block him. Tell him that you don't know about me.][Don't worry, I know what to do. No matter what he says, I won't tell him anything about you.] Jones assured her.Vivian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jones' reply. She put down her phone and opened the curtains.It was still snowing outside.This was A City, so it looked
