Female Novel
Chapter 2201
At last, Luca checked Tommy's homework. Tommy got it all correct too. After she signed the exercisebooks, the kids put their books back into their bags.
After Tommy kept his book in his bag, he could not help but ask, “Ms. Luca, you've been coming homelate for the past two days. Did Daddy give you too much work?"
Luca smiled and shook her head. She picked up a strawberry with a toothpick, handed it to him, andsaid, "I can get off work on time tomorrow."
"That's great." Tommy opened his mouth and took a bite of the strawberry.
Luca had been coming home late for the past few days as she needed to entertain Marcos. Hence,Aunt Neile had been looking after the kids lately.
However, it was not totally because of Marcos.
After Marcos ate his dinner, he would let Luca and Tina go back. After all, there were no scenic spots tobe seen at night. Marcos did not enjoy nightlife entertainment either. However, Luca would return to TCorporation to check the experiment data after leaving. She would make sure that there was nothingwrong with it, then she would talk to Rhett about the next day's research experiment on the phone.
It was late at night after she finished doing her work.
Tommy ate the strawberry as he watched the cartoon show, while Lanie and Rainie quietly watched itas well.
Luca looked at the three of them, and she felt ashamed.
It was not easy for her to return to them, but she was unable to spend time with her children because ofthe work she had to do...
Luca wanted to accompany them with another identity, but she did not have the time to keep themcompany.
How ironic it was.
Nina made her way down the stairs and realized Luca was already back home. She sat down on thesofa, smiled, and asked Luca, "Luca, have you eaten?"
"I had dinner with Mr. Marcos and the others," replied Luca with a smile on her face.
Nina nodded and said, "Oh, remember to check the kids' homework. I thought of helping them to checktheir homework, but they told me that they'd like to wait for you to come back and check for them."
Luca looked at the kids with a puzzled look on her face.
Lanie pouted his mouth and complained, "It's because Ms. Nina didn't check it properly. You didn'trealize Tommy got one answer wrong."
Nina stood up and sat beside Lanie, lifted her hand, and pinched his face. "It was an accident. I didcheck Rainie's and your homework correctly. I didn't expect the math questions you kids are studyingtoday to be so complicated."
"Ms. Nina, you should sign yourself up for a lesson to figure out how to solve the math questions we'restudying these days. Mr. Percy is busy with work. You'll be the one to tutor your child when you haveone in the future. You'll be embarrassing Mr. Percy and yourself if you make a mistake." Lanie becametalkative at once.
Nina narrowed her eyes and looked at Lanie. Lanie was quiet most of the time, but he would bring outhis evil side once he spoke. He sounded like he was lecturing someone. Besides, why did Lanie soundlike Luke?
"Like father, like son. They even sound similar when they're lecturing someone." Nina could not helpbut pinch his face again and said, "I'll be more careful next time. It won't be an issue."
"That'd better be the case." Lanie rose to his feet and sat on the other side beside Luca after Ninapinched him on the face twice.
"Hey, you little..." Nina was surprised to see the child's reaction. She eventually turned to look atRainie, who was beside her. Then, she let out a sigh and placed her hand on Rainie's shoulder. Shesaid, "Rainie is still the cutest."
Rainie smiled and said, "Ms. Nina, stop pinching Lanie's face. He hates it."
"I do that because I think he's cute, okay? I should seize the opportunity to pinch his face now.Otherwise, I won't get the chance to do so when he grows up," replied Nina. She had an unknownsense of accomplishment when she pinched Lanie's face. Perhaps it was because he was Luke's son.
"Ms. Nina, Lanie doesn't like getting pinched in the face. You can pinch my face next time." Tommyrolled his eyes and decided to 'sacrifice' himself to protect his elder brother.
"Okay, okay. I'll just pinch your face next time. I won't pinch Lanie's face anymore." Nina nodded. Shewas envious of Bianca when she looked at the three cutie pies. How happy Bianca was to have suchadorable kids.
Nina could not understand why Bianca chose to travel abroad to further her studies. She had a goodhusband and three adorable children by her side. Even though she could not remember anything, itwas blissful to live such a life surrounded by her loved ones.
At night.
After Luca headed to every child's bedroom and pushed the door open to check if they were in bed,she returned to her bedroom and lay down on the bed.
It was quiet at night, but Luca tossed and turned in bed all night, thinking about Luke, who was still on abusiness trip abroad. It was Tina who contacted and reported to Luke for the past two days.
Luke had never contacted her since Nina's affairs were settled.
She had no idea how Luke was doing there either.
Luca sat on the bed and eventually decided to take some sleeping pills. There was no way she couldfall asleep thinking about Luke. It would affect her work tomorrow.
Luca lay down on the bed again after taking the pills. She was in a daze and finally fell asleep.
In the middle of the night.
The villa's gate opened. A Mercedes-Benz drove into the villa.
Aunt Neile forgot to turn on the lights in the yard before she left. That was why it was dark in the yard.There were only two streaks of light from the car's headlamps lighting up the way for Luke.
Luke climbed out of the car after he parked the car in the parking lot. Then, he looked at the villa in thedark.
The woman he loved the most and his children were all in there, sleeping soundly.
Luke sped up the acquisition process after knowing that Matysh would be traveling to A City today. Hefinally signed the contract and bought the Hilton family's company yesterday afternoon.
Although the price was higher than he had expected, it was acceptable. After all, the company had abright future.
Luke did not care what the others would say. He booked the earliest flight back to A City after hesigned the contract with Brody. There were no other reasons. He came back only to protect Luca.
Marcos told Luke that there was a reason why Matysh came to A City.
Matysh refused to give up on Luca. Even though she was in A City, Matysh was still thinking about her,and that was why he decided to travel here.
Therefore, after Luke completed his work with high efficiency, he came back to Luca to be with herbefore Matysh arrived.novelbin
No man would have the chance to covet his woman.
The villa was dark without any lights on. Luke turned on the lights of the parking lot. Then, he switchedon the flash on his phone under the dim light. He did not wake Luca up, and he walked back into thevilla alone.
Luke took off his coat. He did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, he sat in the living room for a while.He planned to warm himself up before going up. It was to prevent that woman from catching a cold.
Luke sat in the living room for a few minutes. His body felt warmer after getting warmed by the heater.Then, he crept his way up the stairs, heading to the second floor.
He did not return to his bedroom right away. He chose to enter Luca's bedroom by pushing the dooropen.
Although Nina was still staying in the villa, Aunt Neile had reported to Luke about the situation here.Nina slept in the guest room alone and was not sleeping with Luca. Hence, he was pretty sure that
Luca was alone in her bedroom.
Luke was nimble and quiet. He did not wake the woman up when he opened and closed the door.
