Female Novel
Chapter 2356
“Okay. Let's go." Luke held Luca's hand. They were about to make their way down the stairs.
Luca paused. She gently withdrew her hand, shook her head, and said, "Go."
She was worried that the kids would feel uncomfortable if they saw her being too close to Luke.
After all, they already had a mother. If they saw their father holding another woman's hand, what wouldthey think about it?
The kids were attentive. Luca did not want them to have such negative thoughts.
Even though she slept with Luke every night, the kids were already asleep at that hour. They would notsee them sleeping together. That was why Luca did not say anything about it.
However, every time she woke up earlier, she would carefully close the door. That way, the kids wouldnot enter her bedroom without her permission.
Luke knew something was holding her back. He felt helpless as there was nothing he could do about it.
The kids had found out that Luca was their mother earlier than he did, but Luca was still being extracareful. She had scruples over the tiniest matters.
Luke heaved a sigh. He listened to her and made his way down the stairs.
The three kids were sitting on the sofa, waiting for them. They rose to their feet when they saw themcoming downstairs. They could not hide the happy expressions on their faces.
Even Lanie, who was usually cool, put a smile on his face.
“Daddy, can we go now?" Tommy asked.
"Yes," answered Luke. He looked at Aunt Neile and said, "Aunt Neile, come with us."
"Mr. Crawford, why am I going too? Aren't you going to take a family photo..." Aunt Neile thought shewas only a maid. They were going to take family photos, so she could not possibly join them.
"We're going shopping later. Luca will only know what to buy if you come with us," said Luke. SinceLuca wanted to pretend that she grew up abroad, then he should just go along with it.
"Okay. Let me get ready," replied Aunt Neile. She walked into the maid's room and changed intoanother set of clothes. Then, she put on her coat.
Luke's car could not fit everyone as Aunt Neile was coming along with them. He called Warren over todrive another car.
Aunt Neile consciously climbed into Warren's car. When Tommy was about to get into Luke's car,Rainie grabbed him by the hand and said, "Tommy!"
"What?" Tommy lifted his head and looked at her, confused.
Rainie shook her head. Then, she looked at Luke and Luca, "Daddy, Ms. Luca, we'll ride the car AuntNeile got into."
After that, Rainie dragged Tommy along with her and got into the other car, while Lanie took theinitiative to get into the same car too.
The car Luke was driving was supposed to be full at first, but Luca was the only one left in thepassenger seat now.
Luke did not say anything when he saw the kids doing that. He got into the car, fastened the seatbelt,and drove off.
Warren followed behind them.
After Tommy was forced to get into the car, he looked at the car in front of them. He could not help butpout his mouth and say, "Rainie, why did you pull me into this car? I'd like to be in the same car asDaddy."
"Silly. Daddy wants to spend some time together with Ms. Luca alone. Why should we be their thirdwheel?" Rainie gently flicked her finger on Tommy's forehead without using any strength.
Tommy covered his forehead after being flicked and said unconvincingly, "Daddy didn't even say that.How do you know that?"
Lanie looked at his younger brother and shook his head helplessly. "Is this really our younger brother?"
"Perhaps the nurse got the wrong baby when Mommy gave birth to him," replied Rainie. She felthelpless too.
The two of them could see that Luca was intentionally trying to keep her distance from Luke. How couldtheir younger brother not see that?
Aunt Neile sat in the passenger seat, listening to their conversation. She could not help but snort.
"Lanie, Rainie, stop bullying me. Are you still my brother and sister?" Tommy pouted. He felt like Lanieand Rainie were showing contempt for him.
"Anyway, you're not allowed to become the third wheel," Rainie stroked his head. It was considered awarning.
Tommy still could not understand and said, "I like Ms. Luca. Why can't I stick to her?"
"No. Listen to us today," Rainie replied and shook her head. They had to help Daddy. Otherwise, theyhad no idea when they would be able to acknowledge their mother.
"Fine..." Tommy felt like he was unfairly treated.
In the other car.
Luca asked, "Mr. Crawford, does the photo studio open early in the morning?"
"I booked the whole studio today. They'll be opening early today," replied Luke. Photo studios usuallyopened around 10 in the morning.
However, Luke had booked the entire studio for today. That was why they were opening early today.
After they arrived at the studio, Luke told the receptionist his name.
The receptionist had already been waiting for them earlier in the morning. After he brought them to theVIP room, he began to take the photo album samples out to figure out what themes they wanted.
Luke booked portrait packages for each of his children. Hence, the kids were busy choosing theirthemes.
Luca did not comment on anything while she looked at the photo albums.
“What theme do you like?" Luke asked. He did not open the photo album in front of him and just turnedto look at Luca.novelbin
Luca pointed at the vintage-themed photos and said, "I think the 1930s vintage theme is a great idea."
"Okay." Luke turned around, looked at the receptionist who received them, and said, "I'd like the 1930svintage theme."
"Okay. Ms. Luca, please follow us. We'll dress you up. The makeup artist is already waiting for you,"Woody, the receptionist, replied.
"Me? Dress up?" Luca thought she was only coming along with them for the photoshoot and she didnot have to dress up for it...
"Yes. Didn't you choose the 1930s vintage-themed photoshoot? This way, please," Woody smiled andsaid.
Luca looked at Luke. She did not understand what arrangements he had made.
"Just go," said Luke. Other than the kids' portrait photoshoot, he also booked a family photoshootpackage and another couple package for the two of them.
Now, they had to take their portrait photos first, then change back into their clothes for the familyphotos.
Luca put down the photo album and followed Woody out.
When Luca came to the makeup room, she could recognize the makeup artist. She was the one whohelped her with her makeup the last time.
"Ms. Luca, good to see you again," the makeup artist smiled and greeted her. Luca had left animpression on her.
Luca had outstanding facial features. There was no need to touch up a lot to make her look amazing.She was the perfect candidate to become her model.
It was a pity that Luca would never become a model.
"Hello. Nice to see you again. Thank you for helping," said Luca.
"Take a seat." The makeup artist pulled the chair out of the dressing table and asked Luca to sit down.
Luca nodded. After she sat down on the chair, she took the cup of tea the assistant handed to her.Luca did not drink it but put it on the dressing table.
Woody said, "She picked the 1930s vintage theme. The photo with the warlord and his wife."
The sample photo Luca chose earlier was not of the young schoolgirl in the 1930s but of a charmingwife who wore a silk gown.
