Two hours later, the room quieted down.Luca closed her eyes and leaned against Luke’s chest.Allison drugged him so hard that she had to sacrifice herself in the end.The scent of their breaths intertwined and made Luca’s heart flutter uncontrollably as she had become his woman once again.“Luca…” Luke wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly like he wanted to become one with her body.“Mhm,” she answered dreamily.Luke hugged her close without saying a word.This hug was more real than a thousand-word-long profession of love.The next day.Gale sent the three children back to the mansion.Luca was preparing breakfast, and when she saw that Gale had brought the children back. She walked out in her apron to welcome them. “Mr. Gale, have you had breakfast yet?”Gale shook his head with a smile and looked at Luke. “Boss, I did what you ordered me to do.”“Okay.” Luke closed the newspaper. He was a man of few words as usual, but he was in a good mood today.Gale also
“I can’t do anything about it.” Luke’s expression was dull, indicating that he could not care less about Rain’s hobbies.She was doing it for fun after work, and it would not affect her efficiency at work at all.Gale grimaced. Comparison was indeed the thief of joy.Both were women, yet Luca made delicious food, whereas Rain’s cooking would require him to get gastric lavage.The point was that every time Rain cooked, she would let him try first, and he would get a punch in the face if he refused.He had to be a gentleman, so he had no choice but to eat those unappetizing dishes after taking a beating.Gale felt bitter. If not for the fact that he had known Rain for so many years and she had never tried to hurt him, he would suspect that Rain was trying to poison him.“Boss…” Gale looked at him pitifully.Rain obeyed Luke the most. If he asked her not to cook, she would listen to him.“You have your own house. If you don’t want to be treated as a lab rat by Rain, you can move
Luca furrowed her brows as she was not the only one who was not willing to go. Gale refused to go as well.“Mr. Crawford, if all of us go, what about the children at home?” she asked. There would be many guests at Crawford Manor as it was the new year, so Luke would not send the kids there.He had a hard time convincing those people not to visit his place, so he would not send the children back there to suffer.“Don’t worry, Aunt Neile will come over to work later,” said Luke.“Aunt Neile? Isn’t she coming back to work next week?” Luca was surprised.“Her son and daughter-in-law took their children on a trip but she didn’t go as she was tired, so she said she can come work anytime,” said Luke. He had arranged for Aunt Neile to come back to work this morning.Either way, he would still have to make a trip to Allison’s place.“In that case…” Luca knew that she had no more excuses to stay at home.The children had someone to watch over them, and no one could change Luke’s mind onc
Allison rolled her eyes at her. “He already came in.”Sophina felt like there was thunder and lightning above her head. She had only one thought—she was doomed…Allison would certainly not protect her. “Ms. Allison, didn’t we change the password? How did he get in…”Before Allison could even answer her, Luke’s voice came from outside the door. “Fingerprint lock.”Clang! Sophian was so frightened that the bowl in her hands fell to the floor, and white mask liquid spilled all over, staining her long skirt.Luke pushed the door open and walked in while holding Luca’s hand.He even had Gale behind him.Allison looked toward the door and noticed that they were holding hands, so she looked Luca up and down.Was this the woman Susan was talking about?The reason why Allison knew that Luke had another woman was that Susan had mentioned it while quarreling with her. She accused Luke of being ungrateful like her.That was how she found out.Allison frowned and asked, “You came in with
Luke looked indifferently at Allison. There was no trace of affection. It was as if he was looking at a stranger.He knew that Allison said that to wash her hands off the matter.However, she brought Sophian back, and she would not dare to do anything without Allison’s permission."Since you say that, you’re telling me that she did it of her own volition?" Luke gave Allison another chance to admit to what she did although he knew that she would never."I didn't do it. I thought you were just drunk last night." Allison crossed her hands in front of her chest to try to make herself look more assertive.Luke's gaze turned cold, and he did not bother to look at Sophian. "Gale.""Boss, what do you need?" Gale stepped forward and knew that he was about to be given instructions.He knew that Luke would not have brought him along for no reason."Send her to the police station," Luke said.Allison frowned. ‘Why is he involving the police?’Sophian was taken aback. She staggered and ut
Allison picked up the nail file on the coffee table and filed her nails. She rolled her eyes when she heard what Sophian said."New Year holidays aren’t over yet. Why are you rushing to go back?""I'm worried that Mr. Crawford will retaliate against me..." Sophian had no choice but to express her worries."If I can save you once, I can save you the second time. You weren’t sent to the police station today, and you won't be sent to the police station any time soon. The living conditions in A City are much better than in South Korea. I don’t want to go back so soon." Allison did not intend to give up celebrating the new year in A City.Moreover, she had a much more comfortable life here than abroad as she had a maid to take care of her.Since Allison was unwilling to return to Korea, Sophian had to give up the idea as she had no extra money to buy the expensive international airline ticket.Allison touched her dry face and commanded Sophian, "Go and prepare a mask for me. My skin f
Allison handed the phone to Sophian after she unlocked it.Sophian took it and dialed the maid's number.The call did not get through...Sophian felt awkward and handed the phone back to Allison."What's wrong?" Allison frowned when she saw Sophian’s expression."Ms. Allison, your number seems to have been blocked too,” Sophian said cautiously. The phone in her hand was like a hot potato. Allison did not take it, so she put it on the sofa."I got blocked too? How is that possible?!" Allison could not believe it. She wiped her hands on a tissue, picked up her phone, and called the maid.She finally believed that she was blocked when she heard a mechanical female voice.Sophian did not speak. She was waiting for Allison’s next order.Allison called the butler.The butler did not block her number, so he answered. "Madam Allison, good afternoon.""What happened to the maid you sent over? Did she block me? Does she not want her job anymore?" Allison was frustrated."Master Luke
Allison stood on the side of the road and waited for more than 20 minutes before she got a taxi.After Allison and Sophian got into the car, Allison told the driver the destination and the taxi headed toward Luke's villa complex."Ms. Allison, are you sure that we’ll be fine?" Sophian picked up her phone and looked for Luke's neighborhood.It was a high-end community. No one could enter without the consent of the tenant.Therefore, many celebrities and wealthy businessmen loved to live in the area as their privacy was guaranteed."What's wrong with me going to look for my son?" Allison said. The taxi seat was not comfortable, so she leaned against the seat and closed her eyes. She was fuming on the inside.Sophian kept quiet for the rest of the journey.After half an hour, the taxi arrived at the gate of the community.Allison paid and they got out of the car. They were stopped by the security guard before they could walk in. "No idlers are allowed to enter.""How do you know
