Chapter 1238 Rainie Loves Cupcakes
Tommy's eyes sparkled when he saw the cupcakes.
Luca noticed the change in Tommy's expression and shook her head. "Not now, Tommy. Eat themwhen you get home." "Can't I just eat one, Ms. Luca?" Tommy lifted one finger and looked at Lucaeagerly. "I'm hungry."
Luca's heart melted when she saw Tommy's puppy eyes, though she knew that he had eaten a lotearlier, and she did not think that his stomach could take it. She steeled herself and shook her head."You've just eaten. How can you be hungry? Be a good boy and listen to me."
Rainie also helped Luca convince her younger brother. "You'll get a tummy ache if you continue eating,Tommy. Ms. Luca said that we can bring the cupcakes home, so you can eat them when we get home."
Tommy rubbed his round stomach. He was indeed full, but he wanted to eat some more. Even so, helistened to Luca and Rainie. He nodded his head and tried to control himself.
Luca could not bear to see Tommy like that. She sat down next to him and picked two cherries from thefruit plate. "Why not have some fruit for now?" "Mm! Feed me, Ms. Luca!" Tommy immediately cheeredup. He opened his mouth and waited to be fed.
Luca smiled, plucked the stems from the cherries, and stuffed the cherries into his mouth.
Rainie suddenly felt envious when she saw their interaction. They looked like mother and son, and shewanted to be pampered like that too.
Ever since their mother went missing, she had never been pampered by anyone.
As she stared at them, the eagerness in her eyes grew.
Luca inadvertently noticed that from the corner of her eye. She smiled and tapped the seat next to her."Rainie, do you want to sit here?"
Rainie was surprised, though she did not hesitate to sit down next to Luca.
Luca smiled and handed her two round and sweet cherries. "Do you want cherries too?" "Thank you,"Rainie said courteously, took the cherries, slowly plucked their stems, and put them in her mouth.
Luca became emotional when she saw how quiet and gentle Rainie was. Lanie was more reservedthan Rainie, but they were active children, especially Rainie, who was cute, obedient, and empathic.
Now, the twins were a lot quieter and more reserved.
Luca wondered if it was because the twins lacked motherly care or if their environment caused them tobe like that.
She remembered the reason why she and Luke moved out of Crawford Manow. She did not wish fortheir children to grow up in that toxic and chaotic environment.
After she was abducted, Luke and the three children moved back to Crawford Manor so that thechildren had someone to take care of them. Even though Allison was already in prison, Susan was stillliving in Crawford Manor, and Luca knew what kind of person she was.
Luca did not expect the impostor Bianca to take care of the children either.
When Luca thought of that, she patted Rainie's head lovingly.
Rainie enjoyed the sensation of Luca's soft hand caressing her hair. Somehow, she felt the urge to becloser to her.
"Your hand is so soft, Ms. Luca," Rainie lifted her head and looked at Luca with sparkling eyes. Shethought that it was not enough, so she added," You smell very nice too, Ms. Luca."
Luca smiled. She noticed that Lanie was looking at them. However, the seats on both sides were taken.
Luca picked Tommy up and placed him on her lap.
"Ms. Luca?" Tommy looked at Luca, slightly confused, though he was quite happy that he got to sit onher lap.
"Why don't you come and sit over here, Lanie?” Luca said to the boy. Lanie might not seem too eager,but as his birth mother, Luca knew what he was thinking.
Even though Lanie was much more mature than children of his age, he was still a child and wished tobe treated equally.
Lanie nodded. Without hesitation, he sat down by her side.novelbin
Luca's heart warmed when she felt the three children surrounding her. Subconsciously, she huggedTommy more tightly.
"I want more cherries, Ms. Luca,” Tommy pouted and said.
"Alright, I'll get them for you," Luca said with a smile. She leaned forward and picked up the entire fruitplate. "Here, have some more cherries."
The three children took turns picking cherries from the plate.
Tommy was enjoying himself as he sat on Luca's lap and leaned against her. At nine o'clock sharp, aknock was heard on the door.
"That must be Uncle Zander," Tommy pouted and said reluctantly.
Luca looked at the wall clock. Sean had told her that he would pick up the children at nine o'clock. Sheput Tommy down even though she was quite reluctant. "It's already so late. I'll go and open the door."
Tommy looked at his elder siblings. They must be reluctant to leave too...
Luca opened the door and was shocked when she saw the person standing outside.
She did not see Sean. Instead, the person to pick up the children was Luke.
"Why are you here, Mr. Crawford?" Luca said woodenly.
"I'm here for my children." Seeing that Luca had no intention of inviting him in, Luke squeezed pastLuca and went into the house.
"Uh..." When Luca came to her senses, Luke was already inside the house. She had no chance to stophim.
The three children stood up together when they saw that it was their father. "Daddy," they greeted himin unison.
"Mm. Let's go home." Luke was standing near the couch. First, he glanced at the children, then helooked around the apartment.
”..." Luca was wondering what he was thinking.
Tommy was not ready to go home yet. He quickly ran over to Luke, hugged his thigh, and asked him,"Daddy, have you had dinner?"
Luke looked at his youngest son and raised an eyebrow.
"Why?" He asked while caressing his son's cheek.
Luca's heart warmed when she saw the interaction between Luke and Tommy. She could tell that hewas a good father to the children, but he was too busy with work, and he could not afford to give thechildren the attention they needed.
"Ms. Luca made some delicious cupcakes, Daddy. If you're hungry, why not eat a cupcake before wego? There's fruit too..." Tommy held Luke's hand and led him to the couch.
Rainie and Lanie stepped aside to make way.
Tommy continued, "You must have been working overtime and haven't eaten anything, Daddy. Ms.Luca, can you give Daddy a cupcake?" "Of course." Luca nodded. How was she going to refuse thelittle boy's request?
"Cupcakes?" Luke raised an eyebrow. He did not expect that Luca knew howto make desserts.
Coincidentally, cupcakes were Rainie's favorite dessert.
"Have a cupcake, Daddy." Rainie picked up a cupcake from the plate on the coffee table. "It's verytasty. Won't you try one?"
Luke was interested in eating that delicate cupcake. He knew that Luca could cook delicious food, butwhat about dessert?
"Alright." He sat down on the couch.
