Female Novel
Chapter 1404
While Luca prepared the dining table, she noticed that Luke was checking Tommy’s homework.Instinctively, she took care not to make too much excessive noise.
Tommy was sprawled on Luke’s back, looking at his father going through his homework.
Luke found a small mistake on the last page, and he got Tommy to correct it. After Tommy did so, hesigned on the last page of the workbook.
He looked up and noticed Luca was looking at them.
He wondered if she had been watching them. The gaze in her eyes was gentle and elegant.
Luca felt the atmosphere become tense when their gazes met. She quickly turned away, placed thedishes on the dining table, cleared her throat, and said, “Dinner is ready.”
“You’re the best, Ms. Luca! I’m so hungry!” Tommy cheered and clapped his hands excitedly. He stoodup and went to wash his hands.
Luca watched the boy enter the bathroom, then turned to look at Luke. Luke was still looking at her.
“Mr. Crawford, would you like to have some soup before dinner?” Luca asked while placing the cutlery.
“Soup sounds good,” Luke said as he walked toward the dining table.
“Mm, I’ll get you a bowl,” Luca hurriedly walked into the kitchen.
Luke narrowed her gaze when he noticed her hasty steps and thought that she was avoiding him. Halfa minute later, she came out of the kitchen with a pot of soup. She had already composed herself.
Luca placed the pot on the dining table, then filled up two bowls of soup for Luke and Tommy.
Tommy came out of the bathroom and sat in front of the dining table with a toothy grin on his face.When Luca handed him his bowl, he said, “Thank you, Ms. Luca. I love your soup.”
Luca smiled and put the other bowl in front of the seat next to Tommy.
Tommy turned his head and saw that Luke was still standing there. He patted the surface of the tableand said, “Why are you standing there, Daddy? Come over here and take a seat. Ms. Luca said thatyou should eat your food while it’s hot.”
Luke raised his eyebrows. Tommy seemed to be comfortable in Luca’s home after coming over forseveral consecutive days. He was beginning to treat the place as his own home.
He sat down and ate a spoonful of soup. It was refreshing, light, and indeed very delicious.
After finishing the bowl of soup, Luke helped himself with the plate of spaghetti that Luca prepared forhim. He asked, “Where is your younger brother?”
Luca’s hands paused for a split second when Luke mentioned Amur. She continued to put a sea bassfillet on Tommy’s plate as though nothing happened. “He’s traveling now,” she said.
“What does he do?” Luke asked.
Luca put some spaghetti on her plate and explained calmly, “He doesn’t have a fixed job yet, but I’veheard that he wants to find work at a gym.”
“A gym?” Luke’s tone became curious. As far as he remembered, Amur had a good physique but didnot look like a fitness instructor at all.
“That’s what he wants to do,” Luca nodded and said. She placed a sea bass fillet on her plate andbegan to eat.
“I’m willing to help him if he needs it,” Luke said.
Luca knew that Luke had an extensive social network. If Luke was willing to help Amur, Amur couldobtain any job he wanted.
However, Amur was not looking for a job at all. She tried to calm herself down and said, “We’ll see whathappens. He might not remain in A City.”
Luke wanted to say something when Tommy tugged his shirt sleeve. He turned around to look at thechild.
Tommy pointed at the plate of pork chops on the opposite side of the table. “Daddy, I want that.”
Luke put a pork chop on his plate.
He shook his head and said, “That’s not enough, Daddy. I’m very hungry today.”
Luke patiently put another pork chop on his plate. Eventually, he did not ask the question he wanted toask Luca.
After dinner, before the adults could say anything, Tommy rubbed his stomach and said, “Oh, I’m sofull. Ms. Luca is an amazing cook as always. Can we go home a little later, Daddy? I want to rest for abit.”
Luca smiled as she cleaned the table.novelbin
“Mm,” Luke nodded and replied when he saw the smile on Luca’s face.

Luca had expected that he would agree to the request, so she was not too surprised. After stacking theplates and cutlery, she said, “I’ve made some cupcakes for Lanie and Rainie. I’ll pack them in a box,and you can bring them back, Mr. Crawford.”
“Alright.” Luke was quite surprised that she would do that for the other children.
Tommy sniffed the air and said, “No wonder I smelled something sweet baking earlier. I thought mynose was playing tricks on me. Lanie and Rainie would be delighted!”
A while ago, the cook at Crawford Manor baked some cupcakes using Luca’s recipe. Rainie thoughtthat they were missing something, and they were not as nice as how Luca made them.
Luca put the plates in the dishwasher, then carefully packed the cupcakes in a box.
She could not stop smiling when she imagined how Rainie’s face would light up upon seeing thecupcakes.
When Luca walked out of the kitchen with the box of cupcakes, she heard the news about theunidentified female corpse on the television.
Luke was watching the news intently while covering Tommy’s eyes.
“Daddy, I wanna see!” Tommy tried to pry away Luke’s fingers. He did not know what was going on.
“It’s not good for children,” Luke said coldly as he watched the news report.
The report was the same as last time. There were no new developments.
Even though his back was facing Luca, Luca could imagine what his expression was like. He must bewatching the news without any expression on his face.
The fact that the corpse was the impostor Bianca did not bother him the slightest bit.
After the report ended, Luke pulled his hand away. “I’m not a child anymore, Daddy,” Tommy saidunhappily.
“You’re still small,” Luke said. “You need to eat more.”
“Yes, I’d love to eat Ms. Luca’s food. I’m so happy that I get to eat here every day!” Tommy said with agrin. He turned around and noticed that Luca was standing behind him. “Ms. Luca!”
Luca composed herself and handed Tommy the box. “Here are the cupcakes.”
“Yay!” Tommy realized that he had been cheering a lot today. He carefully placed the box on the coffeetable in case he got too excited and accidentally messed up the cupcakes.
Luke looked at the box. The typical household would not have such delicate boxes for cupcakes. Lucamust have specifically bought them.
