Chapter 2418
Luke no longer questioned her when she saw the meaningful smile on her face.
"I'm going to take a shower now," said Luke as he stood up.
“Okay." Luca nodded.
Luca opened the gifts when Luke went to take a shower. There were stacks of cash inside.
There was not much expression on Luca's face.
Luca took off her cardigan. She was wearing her pajamas inside.
Luca put the gifts on the bedside table. Although it was a lot of money, it did no matter how much shehad received. It was the thought that counted.
She leaned against the headboard and picked up the data document beside her.
It was the experiment data for the experiments she did today.
Luca turned to the first page. She could not help but let out a sigh. The data she collected was too little.
It was a pity that the laboratory she rented last time was no longer available. The owner of thelaboratory told her that another company had rented the laboratory for the long term. She could not rentit anymore.
Luca massaged her temples which were hurting. She had to rent a laboratory if she wanted to speedup the progress.
While she was lost in her thoughts, Luke had already finished showering. He returned to the bedroomand noticed that Luca was holding a file. Then, he asked with curiosity, “What are you looking at?"
“Some research data," replied Luca heedlessly. The research data she was talking about could savelives.
Luke replied, "Okay." Then, he lifted the blanket and climbed into bed.
He was not planning to sleep if Luca was still awake. He picked up the book on the bedside table andbegan reading.
Luca did not avoid him either. Luke was smart, but he was unfamiliar with medical research. That waswhy she could read the data in front of him.novelbin
Luca read the pile of data for a while until she was feeling sleepy. That was when she closed the file.
Luke asked, “Are you going to sleep?"
“Yes. I'm a little sleepy," replied Luca. She had already gotten used to him sleeping together with her.
Luke had spent the night in Crawford Manor the day before yesterday. Hence, Luca tossed and turnedon the bed the night before. It took her a long time to fall asleep.
Luca gave all her sleeping pills to Tina as she had been able to sleep well recently. She did not makenew pills either, so she had no choice but to endure a sleepless night.
Old Master Crawford had spent the night here last night, so Luca did not let Luke sleep in the samebedroom as her. Hence, she did not get enough rest either.
Luca had not been able to get a good sleep for two nights. She felt sleepy after reading the documentsfor a while.
Luke put the book back. He waited for Luca to find a comfortable sleeping position, and only then didhe turn off the lights in the bedroom. He said, “Good night."
Luca closed her eyes. After she waited for Luke to hold her in his arms habitually, she took a breathand relaxed.
When she was about to fall asleep, she heard Luke speaking, "I won't be having dinner at hometomorrow night."
"Okay." Luca did not question him where he would be going for dinner. He would naturally tell her if hewanted to.
"Aren't you going to ask me where I'm going?" Luke was unhappy to hear her giving such an indifferentresponse. He hugged her tighter.
Luca had no choice but to ask, "Mr. Crawford, where will you be going?"
"My mother called to invite me for dinner at her place tomorrow night. I promised her I'd go tomorrow."Luke held her in his arms satisfyingly. He took in the scent of her body and enjoyed how soft her bodywas.
Allison?
Luca furrowed her brows with her eyes closed.
Something bad would always happen whenever Allison's name was mentioned. The name AllisonTanner was trouble.
She was also a time bomb, a ticking bomb that would drag Luke along with her.
Luca asked, "Will the kids be following you?"
"They refuse to go," replied Luke. He pondered for a moment and told her what had happened on NewYear's Eve and New Year's Day.
Of course, Luke did not tell her that Sophian had worn a sexy nightgown to seduce him that night.
Luca would get insanely jealous if he told her about it.
However, she would think that she had no right to be jealous. Therefore, she would only keep it toherself.
The less trouble the better.
"So much happened in two days..." Although Luca was not there to see what had happened, shesounded helpless too.
That explained why she could sense Old Master Crawford was in a good mood yesterday. How couldhe not be happy to escape from such a situation?
It was just that Luke had played chess and talked to Old Master Crawford most of the time yesterday.That was why he did not tell her what had happened.
Then, Luca said, "I'll look after the kids since they refuse to go to her place."
“Okay." Luke hugged her, feeling satisfied. "Let's sleep."
"Okay. Good night, Mr. Crawford."
“Goodnight."
The following day.
Other than preparing meals for the kids, Luca spent most of the time accompanying the kids. Sheplayed games with them, read books, and watched them practice their calligraphy.
In the late evening, she realized Luke was still sitting on the sofa when she came to the first floor. Shewas thinking of warming up the pot pies that she prepared during noon time for the kids.
Luca glanced at the clock on the wall and asked, “Mr. Crawford, aren't you going yet?"
“I'm not in a hurry." Luke was watching the evening news.
“I'm preparing some pot pies. Would you like to have some.." Luca knew Luke did not want to go toAllison's place. That was why he was taking his time.
“It's alright. I have to go there later," replied Luke. If he did not set off now, Allison would call him whenshe did not see him.
Luke had to go today.
Even if Allison set a trap for Luke, he still had to meet her. Otherwise, she would go to Crawford Manorand make a mess there.
There would be groups of guests visiting the Crawford Manor now. Allison would be embarrassing theold master if she went back now.
“Okay, I'm going to prepare the pot pies first. Tommy's hungry," replied Luca as she walked into thekitchen.
“Okay." Luke watched her walk into the kitchen and continued watching TV.
After a few minutes, Luke's phone rang.
Luke picked up his phone. It was Allison who called.
He slowly answered the call.
Before he could say anything, Allison asked, “Luke, are you on the way? You didn't forget yourpromise, right?"
“I'm getting ready to set off now," replied Luke.
Allison was dissatisfied, “I can hear the sound of the news broadcast. Do you even know what time it isnow? Why aren't you on your way yet?"
“You can have dinner first if you think it's late. You don't have to wait for me." Luke picked up theremote control and turned off the TV.
Allison paused for a moment. Then, she eventually spoke sheepishly, “How can that be consideredhaving dinner together? Fine. I'll wait for you. Hurry up."
Luke hung up the call, put on his coat, and headed out.
Gale was waiting for him in the car outside the villa. He immediately got out of the car and opened theback door when he saw Luke walking out. Then, he said, “Boss, you're here."
“Sorry to keep you waiting," said Luke. He decided to head to Allison's place at a later time on a whim.
However, when he had such a thought, Gale was already waiting outside the house.
That was why Luke was not in time to inform Gale to come later.
Luke was bringing Gale along with him to prevent Allison from scheming against him. No one would beable to lay a finger on him with Gale by his side.
“Boss, why are you saying such things? I've just been waiting for a while. Come on, get in the car.Otherwise, the warm air will flow out of the car." Gale smiled and urged Luke to get into the car.
