Female Novel
Chapter 1427
Now that the drama was over, Luca breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to sit on the couch whenshe noticed Luke and Tommy standing in the side garden.
She was shocked. Why were they standing there?
As they looked at each other, Luke took Tommy’s hand and said, “Let’s go inside.”
Luca watched the father and son walk away, then appear at the front door. She wondered if they werestanding in the garden to watch the drama.novelbin
She did not know when they had appeared there, or how much they had heard.
After they came into the living room, Tommy pulled away from Luke’s hand and ran toward Luca. “Imiss you so much, Ms. Luca. Why are you here too?”
“I was invited,” Luca smiled and took Tommy’s hand. She lifted her head and glanced at Luke, thenturned her head away.
Because of her, Tommy had been close to Kari and Teri since they were babies. It was normal for Sueto invite Tommy to the girls’ birthday party, but Luca did not expect Luke to be the one sending himover.
‘Shouldn’t he be very busy now? After all, the scandal is still brewing…’
“You were invited too? Wow, this must be fate!” Tommy said happily. He waved at his father and said,“Come over here too, Daddy.”
Luke stood there. He had no intention of going over.
“Daddy…” Tommy said cloyingly. He wanted his father to stand closer to Luca.
Luca did not know what Tommy was thinking, but Luke did. The boy liked Luca, so he wanted Luke tointeract more with her.
Luke was quite surprised that his son would think like that.
Tommy was very close to Bianca, but ever since Luca appeared in his life, he had shifted all hisaffection to her. He could accept that Bianca had not returned yet, and he even tried to bring Lukecloser to Luca…
What had Luca done to Tommy?
Luke did not know, and he did not go over to stand next to Luca. He looked at Jason and said, “I havesomething to discuss with you.”
Jason nodded and said, “Alright, Mr. Crawford. Shall we go to the study?”
“Mm.” Luke knew that Luca would take care of Tommy, so he and Jason went to the study.
Luca looked at Tommy’s chubby face and asked, “Tommy, have you and your Daddy been standing inthe garden for a long time?”
“Yeah. That woman was throwing a tantrum, so Daddy brought me to the garden. You were so coolearlier when you protected those children. If I’m in danger one day, will you protect me as well?”Tommy raised his head and looked at her.
Luca gently pinched his cheeks. She would protect him without any hesitation.
She was willing to give up her life to protect her children.
“Of course I will. Right, where are your elder siblings?” Luca asked.
Tommy smiled happily and answered, “Lanie has extra classes in school, and Rainie has balletclasses. They’ve prepared presents for Kari and Teri. I have too, but Daddy forgot to bring them out ofthe car.”
Luca nodded. She guessed that Luke and Tommy must have come in because the caretaker left thefront gate open in a hurry.
She turned her head and saw the caretaker and Sue lead the children down the stairs, so shereminded them, “Sue, I think the front gate is still open.”
“Ah!” The caretaker exclaimed and said, “I’m so sorry. I was in a hurry to rush in earlier, and I forgot…”
“It’s fine. Go and close it,” Sue said. She generally did not have to worry about the security in that area.
She turned around and said to the children, “Let’s get the party started, kids!”
The children cheered happily. They would not ask too many questions if they had food to eat andgames to play.
Sue turned on the stereo system in the living room and said to the children, “Alright, let’s welcome thestars of the day!”
The children cheered again. Sue played a birthday song on the stereo system, and Kari and Teri camedown the stairs, wearing puffy princess dresses.
Luca smiled when she looked at the two children. The stylists had done an excellent job with their lookstoday. She believed that Nyla would be happy if she had the chance to wear a dress like that.
The clothes on the Island of Despair were either black or gray, and Luca had made baby clothes forNyla using used clothes. No matter how nice she made them, they could not be princess dresseswithout the proper colors and trimmings.
Kari and Teri had sweet smiles on their faces as Sue led them to the birthday cake.
It was a five-tier cake with two princess figurines at the top. They looked like they were modeled afterthe girls.
“Kari, Teri, it’s your birthday today. I hope that you can grow up healthily and happily. Shall we blow outthe candles?” Sue said while placing the candles on the cake.
“How about Daddy? I want Mommy and Daddy to blow out the candles with us,” Teri said because shedid not see Jason around.
Sue looked around and did not see Jason either. She was going to take out her phone to call him whenJason and Luke came down the stairs.
“Let’s blow out the candles together, Daddy!” Kari said.
“Alright.” Jason and Luke had finished discussing some serious business. He smiled and walkedtoward his daughters.
Luke was not going to just stand there. He walked over toward Luca.
Luca was nervous when Luke got near her, but she realized that she was overreacting.
Luke was not a man-eating monster, so why was she so afraid of him? Moreover, he would not doanything in front of so many children.
“Daddy!” Tommy called out to him happily.
Luke nodded, went up to his side, and took his left hand.
Tommy’s left hand was in Luke’s hand, and his right hand was in Luca’s hand. He looked at his fatheron his left, then at Luca on his right.
It was not his birthday, but he was grinning more happily than the two birthday girls.
Luca noticed what Luke did. At the moment, she felt as though they were Tommy’s parents…
She was indeed Tommy’s mother, but her current identity was not…
Jason and Sue put the candles on the cake together and lit them up. They carried the girls in their armsand sang a birthday song with the other children.
The twin siblings closed their eyes, made a wish, and blew out the candles at the same time.
“I wish my Daddy and Mommy would be together for my birthday party,” Tommy said.
