Female Novel
Chapter 2485
Lanie's face remained cool as he looked at the entire set of stationery in front of him, but he wasreminded of the past.
Before their mother was kidnapped, she would prepare all their stationery for them before each schoolyear. All the colors and designs were chosen to their liking.
Tommy had yet to start school at the time.
Every time he saw them receive a full set of stationery, his round eyes would be filled with envy, and hewould make noise about wanting to grow up quickly so he could go to school.
Since that incident, even with the fake Bianca, they never received a full set of stationery again.
“Thank you, Ms. Luca. I love it." Lanie's little heart was overwhelmed.
“Good that you like it. I saw the complete set and thought of buying it. There's also a light green one forTommy." Luca took out the last gift box from the bag, which was a gift for Tommy.
"Tommy will love it," said Lanie. Tommy had always wanted to receive a full set of stationery for school,but even after he started going to school, no one ever prepared it for him after their mommy waskidnapped.
At long last, his long-standing wish was going to be fulfilled.
"Really?" Luca smiled faintly, hoping that Tommy would love it too.novelbin
"Tommy had always wanted to receive a stationery set like this for school," said Rainie while touchingher stationery case.
Rainie's words reminded Luca of when Tommy was little.
He would watch his brother and sister get new stationery and get ready for school while saying hewanted to go to school too.
At that time, Tommy was only old enough for preschool.
However, she wanted to make up for not being able to see Lanie and Rainie grow up, so she took careof Tommy herself instead of sending him to preschool.
However, she could not even give Tommy a stationery case.
Luca was filled with guilt at the thought of that.
Tommy skipped into the room, and his eyes lit up when he saw Lanie and Rainie holding stationerysets in their hands. Then, he looked at Luca with eyes full of expectations. "Ms. Luca."
"This is for you." Luca handed a light green gift box to Tommy.
“Ms. Luca, can I open it?" Tommy's eyes twinkled like there were stars in his pupils.
“Of course. All of you have the same one," said Luca, and when she saw the kid's eyes filled withexcitement, she knew she did the right thing.
When she was helping Vivian pick out items for school, she just so happened to see stationery sets forchildren, so she bought them without a second thought.
She did not expect the kids to like them so much.
She gave birth to them, yet she had not been carrying out her job as a mother all these years. The guiltin her heart grew bigger and bigger, but she could not do anything about it.
Tommy tore the wrapping paper and cheerfully hugged Luca when she saw the stationery set. “Thankyou, Ms. Luca, I love it."
“If you like it that much, you'd better study hard," Luca admonished.
“I will study hard! I'll be the first place in class... No, I'll become the first place in school. Just wait andsee, Ms. Luca," Tommy said with a smile.
Lanie said in a relaxed manner, “You're already first place in the school."
Tommy turned to look at his brother. “Then I'll get a perfect score!"
“Very well, Tommy!" Luca praised after hearing his words.
Tommy was flattered. He looked at Lanie and said, “You hear that, Lanie? Ms. Luca is praising me!"
“I heard that." Lanie nodded and carefully placed the stationery set in his drawer.
“By the way, where's Ms. Vivian?" Luca asked Tommy as he was the one who said he was going tobring her to the guest room.
“Ms. Vivian is in the guest room. she said she was going to wash up, so I came out," Tommy replied.He actually did what he had to do!
“Okay, are you all done with your homework? There's only a week before school starts." Luca touchedTommy beside her, concerned about her children's studies.
“Ms. Luca, we've completed all of them. We only have some writing exercises left that the teacherasked us to do every day," Tommy answered obediently. The three of them did their homework togethermost of the time, so they knew about each other's homework situation well.
“Good boy. You all read your books first. I have some stuff to take care of." Luca patted Tommy's headand stood up.
“Okay, Ms. Luca," the three children answered in unison.
After leaving the children's bedroom, Luca went to Luke's bedroom.
He was still doing designs inside.
Luca knocked on the door.
Luke looked up, and a faint smile appeared on his face when he saw that it was her. “Come in."
Luca nodded. She learned her lesson from the incident earlier today, so she closed the door beforesitting in front of his desk. “Mr. Crawford, I think Mr. Norton found out that Vivian is staying here."
“What made you think that?" Asked Luke.
“There was a black BMW following us all the way back," Luca said to him.
“Yup, it's him." Luke withdrew his gaze and continued to draw.
Gordan had called him earlier to say that he wanted to see Vivian, but he disagreed.
It was Vivian's decision whether to meet him or not. It was not something he could just say yes to.
"So, he looked for you..." Luca asked carefully. Luke was sensible enough to not help Gordan out nomatter what his request was.
"Help me tell Vivian I said no." Luke put away his drawing before standing up to wrap his arms aroundher waist.
"I knew you wouldn't agree to it." Luca smiled faintly in his embrace, she might as well just lean on hisbroad chest and feel a moment of peace.
"I won't interfere in Vivian's affairs no matter how much Gordan has helped me." Luke had said a lot forLuca to convey.
"Okay." Luca understood what he meant and intended to tell all of this to Vivian so that she could havepeace of mind while staying here.
"Did Mr. Norton mention why he wants to meet Vivian?" she asked.
"No, he never tells anyone about his personal affairs." Luke rested his head on her forehead andsniffed her faint fragrance.
He could not help but daydream at the smell of her fragrance.
Luca felt the hand around her waist gradually move up, and her breathing grew uncontrollably rapid.She placed her hands on top of his. "Mr. Crawford, don't.."
"Luca, you're too attractive." Luke inhaled the scent of her hair, and the temperature of his body couldnot stop rising.
He could not control himself with her around.
The urge he had been suppressing for so long was unleashed ever since that night, and he couldbarely control it now.
"Mr. Crawford, it's still early. Let's not.." Luca's breathing grew rapid, and while she was still talking,Luke flipped her over and locked lips with her.
The steamy kisses poured down like heavy rain, stopping her from continuing her words and disruptingher breathing.
Luca's body could not help but go limp in his strong embrace.
