Luke prepared the rice, while Luca did the cooking. They teamed up and divided their work. It was quick. Lanie held his phone in his hands. Tommy and Rainie urged Lanie to record it down with his phone. Lanie stood at the kitchen door, recording the sweet and cute moment between Luke and Luca. After Lanie finished recording, he tiptoed his way back to the living room and sat on the sofa.Tommy asked excitedly, “Lanie, did you record it?”Rainie took Lanie’s phone from him and said, “You don’t have to worry if Lanie recorded it. He must have. Let me see.”Rainie opened the phone gallery and saw that the latest video recorded showed the scene in the kitchen.Tommy exclaimed, “Daddy is actually helping out in the kitchen. How fascinating…”“That’s not the main point. The point is, Daddy and Mom—Ms. Luca, they're a match made in heaven!” Rainie looked at the phone, feeling envious.Would she meet a perfect match meant for her in the future?Rainie turned to look at Lanie and h
Crawford Manor would be like a battlefield if Allison was there. The old master would definitely be willing to come over. “No problem,” replied Luca. There was another guest room upstairs. It was just that there was no elevator in the villa. It might be slightly difficult for the old master to climb the stairs. “Alright, I’ll bring them over first,” said Luke. “Okay.” Luca nodded and followed him downstairs. After she watched them leave, she sat on the sofa. After Luke took the kids away, Luca felt an emptiness in her heart. Luca looked around the living room, only to realize that after she moved here, there had never been a quiet moment. She could hear the noises of the kids playing around happily.She could not get used to the sudden silence.Luca picked up her phone and looked at her contacts. Sue’s name showed up. Luca reckoned that she was probably busy preparing for the new year with Jason.Luca saw Nina’s phone number and made a call.The phone rang twice, and it
“Okay, Young Master Luke.” Mr. Griffin sounded helpless.Luke hung up the call. Lanie, who sat on the passenger seat asked, “Daddy, Grandma’s doing it again, right?”“Yes.” Luke clasped the steering wheel tightly and reminded the kids, “Look for Great-grandpa later when we arrive. Remember to greet him. He’s in the study. Don’t come out after you go in. Got it?”“Okay, Daddy,” the three kids replied in unison.They were afraid of Allison too. It would be better if they could stay far away from her.Luke stopped talking. Allison could be crazy and do whatever she wanted as long as she did not influence the kids. As a father, he had the desire to protect his kids.10 minutes later, Luke arrived at Crawford Manor. He drove into the house compound, and after he parked the car, he was not in a hurry to get out of the car.“Daddy?” Rainie gave him a confused look.“If you see the elders later, greet them. Then, look for Great-grandpa,” Luke reminded them again.“Daddy, don’t worry.
Louis turned around when he was helping Susan up. He silently mouthed the word ‘sorry’ to Luke.Luke shook his head to tell him that he did not mind it.It was wrong to bring a stranger into the house. Even if Susan was deliberately finding an excuse to start the fight, he could not say that she was being unreasonable this time. Allison did not think twice before doing something, and it had made everyone unhappy.After Louis helped Susan and returned to her room, Mr. Griffin came forward and said, “Young Master Luke, Madam Allison is in her bedroom now.”“I know.” Luke headed in the direction of the stairs.Upstairs.When Lanie headed to Old Master Crawford’s study with Rainie and Tommy, they ran into Sophian."Miss, may I know who you are?" Lanie had a good memory. He remembered that no maid in Crawford Manor looked like her.“I’m a guest of the Crawford family. You’re…” Sophian looked at the three little children in front of her. They looked familiar, especially the two boy
“She has to go back. You can accompany her if you want. Perhaps you can ask the chauffeur to send you back when you need a facial treatment.” Luke insisted and left no room for negotiation.“No way. It’ll be so troublesome for me to go back and forth.” Allison immediately skipped Luke’s first suggestion and rejected the second one. “There are so many guest rooms in Crawford Manor. Why can’t you let Sophian stay here?”Luke’s voice was deep, and the expression on his face was as cold as ice. “Crawford Manor isn’t some kind of shelter. Not just anyone is allowed to come in here.”“What do you mean? Sophian is my personal nurse. She’s not a refugee.” Allison furrowed her brows and slammed the dressing table. “Bringing an unknown person into the house during the new year isn’t allowed. I’ve given you two options. You’d better consider them.” Luke stood up. He was not planning to let her continue with her nonsense. Allison leaped to her feet and said, "How dare you say my subordinate
“What news?” Allison picked up a bottle of cream and started applying it to her face in the mirror.Her skin was losing moisture several times faster than the average person, so she had to apply products like these from time to time.Skincare products like these were costly, yet she applied them generously.Sophian glanced at the maid.Allison got the hint and said to the maid, who was still tidying up, “I’d like to talk to her in private.”“Yes, Madam Allison.” The maid put down Allison’s clothes and walked out hurriedly before closing the door behind her.“My colleague said that the doctor who’s going to operate on you is Dr. Steve, but he returned to his home country a few days ago, so no one can get a hold of him. Thus, no one is aware of the surgery. Dr. Steve returned to the hospital today and my colleague found out that he’ll use new foreign technology to operate on your face. It’ll mainly be to remove the wrinkles on your skin and also to inject some stem cells for your s
“Alright.” Allison was already used to the skincare routine.Sophian placed cotton pads drenched in toner on Allison’s face before slowly asking, “So, Ms. Allison, does Luke have another woman now?”“The others think I don’t know about this, but I do. The fact that he has another woman now means that he and his dad share the same morals. No matter how deeply in love they were before, their true nature will be revealed in the end. Sophian, I brought you here to open a new door for you. It’s up to you to grasp it. You’re pretty, so if other women can approach him, you can too.”“I’ll try, Ms. Allison…” Sophian was outwardly calm, but she was shocked.She had never seen a mother encouraging a woman to seduce her son who was already married with children of his own…However, Allison’s words gave her a boost of confidence.At least when she tried to hook up with Luke, she would not have to worry about Allison being against it.…After Luke left Allison’s bedroom, he went to Old Mast
Luke knew that the old master was curious as to why he favored Luca.However, he still chose to hide it as the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Plus, Old Master Crawford would not be able to help Luca anyway.What happened in the future might only make him worry.Luke shook his head and said, “There are many things I can’t tell you in detail right now, but you’ll know later.”“It’s always this excuse. I feel like Luca isn’t just anyone. Perhaps it’s like what I guessed? Old Master Crawford continued to probe.“Grandpa, you just need to know that Luca won’t hurt you,” said Luke.“Will she hurt you, then?” Old Master Crawford asked him in reply.Luca had done many things to harm the interests of T Corporation, but Luke knew that she was forced to do so.She did not want to, but she was just being controlled.Luke said firmly, “She won’t hurt me.”Deep inside, she was still the same old Bianca.Luke could tell that every time Luca had done something wrong to T Corpor
