Chapter 1236 However, This Time, He Could Not Have Known
Lanie and Rainie came to see what kind of person it was who could make Tommy talk about hercooking non-stop. They also wanted to see if the other party wanted to use Tommy to approach theirfather.
After all, there had been quite a few women like that over the years.
Luca's eyes were filled with tears when she heard the kids greeting her. She was moved when she sawhow tall Lanie and Rainie had become. ’ Hello, come in."
She reached her hand out to both of them.
Rainie felt inexplicably affectionate toward Luca and held her hand. "Okay."
Lanie felt the same way as her sister but chose to nod coolly. They then walked into the apartmenttogether.
Zander smiled and said, "Ms. Luca, thank you for the trouble."
Luca was surprised. "Zander, won't you come in and have dinner with us?" "I don't have time. I have tosend documents to the boss," Zander shook his head and said.
Luca was surprised. Luke must have agreed to him leaving the children here to send the documents tohim.
'He agreed to let me take care of the kids? He's suspicious by nature... That shouldn't be the case...Could it be that he trusts me?'
However, based on their previous encounters and the conversation in the meeting room, it did notmake sense that Luke trusted her...
"Okay." Luca did not force him to stay knowing that he had a task at hand.
Zander glanced at the time, then smiled and said, "Ms. Luca, I'll pick them up around nine o'clock. Seeyou later."
When Tommy heard that, he immediately said, "Zander, you can come here a little later than nine.""Young Master Tommy, you have to go to class tomorrow and need to rest early. I'll pick you up at nineo'clock. Your father will scold me if I send you home late." Zander insisted. Nine o'clock was the timethat Luke and Tommy had agreed on.
Tommy pursed his mouth. He made a bunch of promises just so he could come to Luca's place.
For example, he compromised and agreed to reduce the time he had to watch cartoons by half an hour.
Zander smiled and nodded. He then turned and left.
Luca still could not believe it. Luke trusted her enough to leave the three children by her side for a fewhours. In a daze, she thought about the first time she returned to A City after studying abroad.novelbin
Luke knew that Lanie and Rainie were her kids, so he tried her best to let her take care of them...
However, this time, he could not have known.
Luca closed the door in a daze.
Tommy took a deep breath and smelled the cake. His eyes lit up as he asked, "Ms. Luca, are youhiding some delicious food?"
Luca came back to her senses. She looked at the child's bright eyes, smiled, and said, "I knew youwere coming so I made a cake, but you’ll have to wait for a while before you can eat it." "Cake? Rainieloves cakes!" Tommy grinned and took Rainie's hand. He said, "Rainie, didn’t I tell you that Ms. Luca isthe best? She made you a cake! Ms. Luca, we all like to eat cakes."
Rainie touched Tommy's chubby face. She was happy because she loved cakes, but she was pickyand only liked to eat the cakes made by her mother.
The chef in Crawford Manor had tried a variety of recipes to make all kinds of cakes to bring a smile toher face. In the end, only one recipe worked as it tasted a bit like the ones Bianca used to make, soshe would only eat that.
She was not a fan of those made by others or bought from local shops.
However, her mother...
Luca looked at the kids. They had grown a little taller and their fleshy faces had become thinner, but therest was still the same.
"I'm happy if you're happy," she smiled and said.
"Thank you, Ms. Luca. I’m Rainie. This is my brother, Blanche. You can call him Lanie.” Rainie lookedat Luca's smile. The feeling of intimacy and familiarity in her heart got stronger. She could not help butintroduce herself.
Lanie heard this and said coolly, "Hello, Ms. Luca." "Okay, you can sit down for a while. The cake willbe ready soon," Luca said. In addition to the cake, she had also prepared some fruits that the childrenused to love.
Looking at the fruits on the coffee table, Tommy cheered and asked, "Ms.
Luca, do you have any other snacks?"
Luca smiled and nodded at Tommy's cheeky appearance. "Yes, but you can eat them only after youfinish your meal. Have some fruits first."
As soon as she said that, the oven rang to indicate that the cake was ready. Luca said, "The cake isready, I'll take it out for you but don't eat too much. There’s still dinner later."
Tommy patted his stomach and replied, "Ms. Luca, don't worry. My stomach can hold a lot of food. I'llfinish everything that you prepare."
Luca smiled and shook her head. 'How big can a child's stomach be?’ She only said that because shedid not want them to be too full. "I’ll take three out first. You can take the rest back after dinner."
Rainie, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at this scene with deep emotions stirring in her heart.
Their father and grandfather were strict with them. They never allowed them any snacks before meals.
However, their fake mom was different. To please them, she secretly gave them snacks.
No matter what it was, both sides were overdoing it. She thought that Luca was different from them.
Compared to being overly strict or indulgent, Rainie found her approach more comfortable.
Luca took out three cakes from the oven. The cakes were not big but they were just right as snacksbefore meals. They were delicious and nutritious.
She carefully put the cakes on plates, prepared some forks, and placed them on the coffee table."Okay, enjoy. I'll cook dinner." "Thank you, Ms. Luca!" The kids thanked her in unison.
Luca smiled, walked into the kitchen, and started preparing dinner for them.
It was not that she did not want to spend more time with them, she just did not want them to be hungry.
Rainie took in the aroma of the cake but did not pick up the fork. There was the sound of water flowingfrom the kitchen.
Tommy had already picked up a fork and taken some to eat. "Wow, it's delicious!"
When he saw that Rainie was not trying it, Tommy said, "Rainie, why don't you have some?"
Rainie shook her head. Seeing her brother's gluttonous appearance, she smiled and said, "Is itdelicious? If you like it, you can have mine too."
Although it was delicious, Tommy resisted the urge to take her piece.
Instead, he asked, "Rainie, don't you love cakes?" "Yeah." Rainie smiled without explaining any further.
Lanie knew why Rainie was acting like this. He picked up the fork, took a bite, and his eyes widened.
