Chapter 1919
Luke looked stern as he stared at Old Master Crawford. "I didn't expect that you still have the habit ofstanding behind someone and reading their texts."
"I'm your grandfather. There are no boundaries between us. Besides, it seems to me that youpositioned your phone like that for me to read it."
Old Master Crawford was not at all ashamed and had nothing to hide as he stared at Luke's phone.
Luke turned off the screen.
Old Master Crawford got anxious and asked, "What are you going to do? This person doesn't seem likehe'll give up so easily."
Luke was not stupid either. He knew that Enoch would not give up so easily.
However, there were many ways to make him give up. Luke was not in a hurry. "There are ways."
"Let's hear it, then." Old Master Crawford was very curious. From Luke's reaction, he knew that hisgrandson did have something planned.
"Grandpa, why are you interested in everything lately?" Luke did not answer Old Master Crawford'squestion.
Old Master Crawford replied, displeased, "I'm bored lately. The old man from the Mallory family hasbeen dealing with his family's affairs recently. I heard that Pierre caused him a lot of trouble, so hedoesn't have the time to meet for tea and chess. The incident with Old Master Mallory's family alsoalerted the other old masters, so they're now focused on dealing with their family business. No one willplay chess and drink tea with me, so I can only gossip about the young people's affairs."
Luke knew about what was happening in the Mallory family. He shook his head and asked, "Would youlike to look into T Corporation, then? You can keep yourself busy."
"No, no." Old Master Crawford waved his hand quickly. "There are no issues between you and Louis. Itrust the way you do things."
"Grandpa, if you're bored, you can meet up with Bea's grandpa," Luke said. Old Man Rayne's healthwas much better now that he was under Luca's care. Although his current condition was not like backthen, he was feeling more energetic.novelbin
"Old Man Rayne? His health is not the best. Didn't the doctors recommend that he rest more? I don'twant to disturb him." Old Master Crawford shook his head. Compared to the old masters of the otherfamilies, he preferred to play chess with Old Man Rayne. Unfortunately, due to his declining health, OldMaster Mallory gradually stopped visiting him.
However, he always sent his greetings through phone calls and would also send gifts during festiveseasons.
After all, the two were still in-laws.
"Luca is treating him, so he's doing much better now. He's more energetic and doesn't need to rest inbed every day. He sits and basks in the sun most of the time while playing chess with himself,” Lukesaid. Wanda would keep him posted about Old Master Crawford's condition every couple of days. Eventhough Luke had not visited him, he was aware of Old Man Rayne's physical condition.
"Really? Luca is amazing!" Old Master Crawford sighed. "Luke, do you think Luca is a treasure?"
Luke did not say anything. She had always been a treasure in his heart.
"You have to make use of this opportunity. If you miss it, you'll regret it." Seeing that Luke was focusedon typing on the keyboard to reply to work emails, Old Master Crawford said earnestly and left theroom with the help of his cane.
He had already said what he had to, so there was no need to continue speaking. After all, it all camedown to Luke's choice.
All he could do was sigh by the sidelines.
Luca prepared five dishes and one stew in the kitchen. It was easy since she had the help of the maid.
After the four of them had lunch together, Old Master Crawford asked Zander to send him home.
After Old Master Crawford left, Luca pushed Luke back to the maid's room so that he could continue towork.
This time, she did not persuade him to take care of himself because she knew that what was mostimportant to him at that moment was to finish his work.
Sometimes, Luke would use all his time for work. He was ruthless when it came to working.
Luca glanced at him and turned around to leave. He was busy with his work, and she had to continueworking on some documents too.
She returned to the living room, saw the maid, and said, "Please prepare dinner."
"Ms. Craw, are you going out?" the maid asked curiously.
Luca shook her head. "No, I have a lot of work to do, so I don't have time to prepare dinner."
"Okay, no problem. I'll have the food ready," The maid nodded.
Luca walked into the kitchen and took out a packet of herbs from the cupboard. After she prepared itaccording to the proportions, she handed it to the maid and said, "I saw that there's pork bone in therefrigerator. Let's make bone soup for Mr. Crawford tonight. Put this in and brew the soup as usual."
The maid nodded, took the herbs, and asked, "What are these herbs for?"
"They're used to replenish the body. They're good for bone healing and growth," Luca said, carefullywrapping the rest of the herbs.
Herbs were sensitive to moisture, so she packed them tightly so that they could still be used.
"Ms. Craw, you know a lot of things." The maid could not help but praise Luca. She did not know whatwas in the packet.
"The effects of bone soup are average, but paired with traditional Chinese medicine, it can beconsidered a medicinal diet. If you have any questions, just ask me. I'll go upstairs to work first." AfterLuca put the herbs away, she turned and went upstairs.
The maid put the herbs aside and cleaned the kitchen.
Luke maneuvered the wheelchair and came out of the room. He did not see Luca, so he went to thekitchen but only found the maid.
"Where's Luca?" he asked.
The maid turned around and replied with a smile, "Sir, Ms. Craw went upstairs to work. Do you needanything from her? Do you need me to get her?"
"No, I just want to drink a cup of coffee... Uh, forget about it. Pour me a glass of water instead." Lukesuddenly thought of Luca's advice about coffee.
He could not have any alcohol or coffee during this period.
"Okay, wait a moment." The maid efficiently poured him a glass of hot water.
The glass was handed to Luke, who frowned slightly as he looked at the still steaming water.
The maid noticed his change in expression and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Luke headed back with his glass of water.
In just over a day, he had become accustomed to Luca's meticulous care.
She would always give him warm water, which would not burn his lips when he drank it. She wouldnever hand him the hot water that the maid did.
The water would cool after some time, but those who were thirsty may become impatient if they had towait.
Luca's care was immaculate. He was fascinated by her.
Therefore, he was not going to let go of her for as long as he lived.
