Female Novel
Chapter 2017
This scene, although depressing, was also beautiful.
Luke noticed that she had been looking at the garden and suddenly remembered that she, likeQueenie, was interested in gardens and such.
She would surely like such an ancient European-style garden.
"Do you like the style?" Luke asked.
Luca was stunned when she heard his question. She glanced at the others, and none of them seemedinclined to answer him.
Luke was looking at her. He was asking her.
"This style is very rare. It's gorgeous. It should be beautiful in spring," Luca did not answer him straightand commented objectively.
A lot of space was needed to create such a garden.
Ordinary villas had limited garden areas, so it was usually difficult to create such a style. One couldonly see this style of gardens in ancient castles.
Although the leaves of the plants in the garden had fallen off, Luca could still recognize some of theplants. They would grow and bloom more beautifully after vernalization.
"Miss, you're right. These plants will indeed bloom beautifully when spring comes," the maid on theside said.
Luke did not say anything else. He thought that there were very few lands with such a large area in thecountry. What was more, the current land division was very clear. He needed a large piece of land to
create the garden that Luca liked.
He was thinking about which land in A City was suitable.
The few of them walked through the garden path. After they passed the section that was under repair,the maid took them to the main road, where there were already sightseeing cars waiting.
Luca sighed in her heart. They were in a castle, not a villa...novelbin
The last time she came, she had come in with a car. She did not know there were special sightseeingcars here.
"Everyone, it's cold. Please get in the sightseeing car," the maid said as he opened the door of thesightseeing car.
The three got onto the sightseeing car and arrived at the main house.
Luca got out of the car and looked at Ray and Vivian, who were waiting at the door. She was slightlysurprised.
Vivian was back.
Luca originally thought that Vivian would be alone in the hotel for a while to calm down before shecame back.
Vivian looked at her, saw the surprise in her eyes, and knew that Ray had not lied.
It was not Luca who told Ray that she was in Ostin Hotel.
"Luke, congratulations." Ray stepped forward, reached out his hand, and sincerely congratulated Luke.
Regarding this project, several friends around him had expressed their interest to participate. However,they eventually lost to T Corporation.
The project was highly profitable, and the competition was strong. It mainly consisted of multinationalgroups.
Ray was surprised and happy that Luke was able to get this project. Hence, he immediately offered tocelebrate with him.
Luke did not refuse, so Ray sent someone to pick them up.
"Thank you." Luke shook his hand politely and looked at Vivian. Sure enough, Ray had brought herhome. "Miss Vivian, good afternoon."
"Brother Luke, good afternoon." Vivian unconsciously greeted him how she used to. She was stunnedas soon as she finished speaking.
He called Luke 'Brother' because Gordan used to call him that. She just went along with it.
However, as she was separated from Gordan now, she should not refer to Luke as 'Brother'. Vivianrealized this and smiled awkwardly. "Mr. Crawford, I'm sorry."
"It's just a title. I'm good friends with Ray. You and Ray are a little younger than me. It's alright if you callme 'Brother'." Luke did not mind. He had heard about what happened.
Ray told him most of it.
Although Vivian had an ugly face and was different from other women, her sincerity to Gordan wasmuch more than what most of the women around Gordan could offer him.
It was a pity that Gordan did not want her sincerity. The two could not get together in the end.
He did not make any judgments since both sides were his friends. He did not intend to intervene in howeither party would deal with the matter.
Vivian did not expect Luke to say these words and shyly said, "Brother, Luca, Mr. Doyle, come in. It'scold outside."
They walked into the villa while being led by Ray and Vivian.
Luca looked at the decorations inside. The place did not look like this in the past. However, it wasnormal since it had been a few years.
"Please take a seat," Ray said.
Luke sat in his wheelchair, while the others sat on the Nordic-style leather sofa.
The maids brought a range of drinks and food.
They were all snacks.
Ray said, "The main course is still being prepared. I know that you're not very interested in Russianfood, so I invited a chef to prepare Western food for you. This meal is to celebrate T Corporationwinning the project." "Thank you." Luke picked up the teacup. Ray knew that he could not drink alcoholdue to his leg injury. He prepared tea for Luke instead.
"Thank you, Mr. Ray," Luca and Jason said.
The five of them toasted and clinked glasses. Ray and Luke talked about the situation in Russia. Rayhad a lot of gossips to share about the project.
Luca listened absently.
Vivian saw that she was not very interested in the topic, so she said, "Luca, do you want to do a housetour?"
Luca glanced at Luke and nodded. "Okay."
"Let's go." Vivian smiled and put down the teacup.
Luca also put down the teacup. When she stood up, Luke said softly, "Don't get too tired."
His admonitions were naturally intimate. He spoke to her like a lover.
"Okay," Luca replied in a soft voice and left with Vivian.
Vivian took her for a house tour. Considering the wound on her waist, she took her to the privatetheater after walking around for a while. "Do you want to sit down for a while?"
Luca did not feel tired, but since Vivian mentioned it, she nodded and said, "Okay."
The two sat on a comfortable sofa.
"Is this villa more than 100 years old?" Luca asked.
"Yeah. After this year, it'll have a history of 112 years. This is the address of my family home. Severalgenerations have lived here." Vivian sighed. She used to think that she would live here forever.
It was large and contained a lot of family history.
She loved the history of this place.
If it were not for Gordan, she would never have been willing to move out of this place.
"It has a long history," Luca said. Although every spot had been repaired, it seemed that the years hadleft a lot of traces here.
"This theater used to be Ray and I's toy room. After we grew up, Ray knew that I liked watchingmovies, so he transformed it into a theater. I couldn't tell him no, so I could only accept it. It's a pity.After all, before the transformation, it was a place full of memories," Vivian said.
