"Your semester is going to start soon. You have to cure your jet lag as soon as possible. Otherwise,you won't be able to focus when you're in class." Luke knew what was bothering her, but he did notexpose her. He reminded her and sounded like her big brother.novelbin
Vivian nodded. Her worries eventually took over her hesitation. She could not help but ask, “Mr.Crawford, did you see anyone at the entrance when you came back here?”
She did not mention Gordan's name, but she knew Luke would know who she was asking about even ifshe did not say his name.
"No one is at the entrance at this hour. It's late. Rest early." Luke knew Vivian wanted to ask aboutGordan.
After all, he had been standing at the entrance all day like a security guard.
"Okay." Vivian let out a sigh of relief when she heard no one was at the entrance.
She had walked out to the balcony a moment ago. A gust of cold wind swept across her face. It wasmuch colder than it was in the morning.
Gordan was only concerned about his demeanor. He would not care about the temperature. Vivian wassure that he did not put on enough layers to keep himself warm.
Vivian was relieved to know that he was not at the entrance. However, a sour and bitter feeling arousedwithin her. What was she anticipating?
Was she hoping that Gordan would constantly wait at the entrance just to see her?
However, he was not in love with her. Why would he do such a thing?
Vivian was sure she had been overthinking.
Vivian pulled herself together and put the disappointing feelings at the back of her mind. She stood upand said, "Mr. Crawford, I'm going back to my bedroom. Rest early, and goodnight."
"Goodnight." Luke waited for Vivian to return to her bedroom, and only then did he go back to his room.
Luke did not head to Luca's bedroom right away. He did not want to wake her up. After he took ashower, he pushed Luca's bedroom door open and walked into it.
The lights were turned off. There was not even a streak of light in the room.
Although it was dark, Luke walked toward the bed skillfully without knocking on anything.
When he was about to sit down on the bed, Luca, who was on the bed, woke up with a start. Themoment she sat up on the bed, she turned on the lights and said, "Who is it?!"
Luke caught a glimpse of alertness in her eyes, and he said helplessly, "It's me."
Luca's fear slowly went away. She had a dream about Abel just now, then she heard the noises in thebedroom. She was unable to differentiate if the noises were from her dream or reality. That was whyshe was so alert.
She set her worries aside when she realized it was Luke. "Mr. Crawford, you're back."
There was a hint of drowsiness in her words. Luke felt guilty for waking her up.
He should have slept in the other bedroom since he came home late. That way, he would not havewoken Luca up, but he felt insecure sleeping alone.
He wanted to cuddle with Luca in bed. That was why he came over.
"I'm sorry to have woken you up." Luke sat on the bed and put his arm around her waist. He said, "Goback to sleep. It's still early."
"Okay." Luca did not tell him about the nightmare she had. Even though she was in a safe environment,she could not sleep peacefully without Luke by her side.
The anxiety in her heart was uncontrollable. She had this feeling that no matter how safe she was, Abelwould always have a way to take her away.
She was reluctant to leave...
The two of them lay down on the bed. Luca rested her head on Luke's chest peacefully and fell deeplyasleep.
She felt secure having him by her side.
When Luca opened her eyes again, it was already in the morning.
Luca could feel the warmth behind her. Luke was still asleep.
He came back late last night. It was normal for him to wake up late. Luca gently pushed his hand awayto get out of bed. A mumbling voice came from behind her, "Don't get up. Accompany me for a whilemore."
"I have to get up to prepare breakfast for you," Luca's cheeks blushed as she said in a soft voice.
Luke did not say anything. It was as though he was choosing between breakfast and Luca's company.Both sounded tempting to him.
Luca was not in a hurry to get out of bed. She waited for his answer. "I'd like to have coffee. I want tobring it to the office."
Luca understood what he meant with just those few words.
Luke wanted her to prepare some coffee for him. It was not just a cup of coffee. He wanted it to befilled in a thermos bottle so that he could bring it to the office.
Luke must have tons of work to do. Otherwise, he would not need a bottle of coffee to give himself alift.
"Okay." Luca agreed.
Luke slowly let go of her. It was obvious that he was reluctant to do so.
Luca got out of bed. After she freshened herself up, she came to the kitchen. Aunt Neile was alreadypreparing breakfast in the kitchen.
"Good morning, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile greeted her with a smile.
“Good morning, Aunt Neile." After Luca greeted her, she took the sealed coffee beans out of thecabinet.
'Are you making coffee for Mr. Crawford?" Aunt Neile asked.
"Yes. Mr. Crawford said he'd like to bring it to the office. Besides, there's Vivian too. Russians likehaving a cup of coffee and hot chocolate in the morning. I'm going to prepare more." Luca washed herhands and dried her hands with tissue. Then, she started to prepare coffee for Luke.
"Mr. Crawford loves the coffee you make. I've never seen him bringing anyone's coffee to work after somany years," exclaimed Aunt Neile. After all, many people in T Corporation knew how to preparecoffee, but it seemed like Luke was only fond of the coffee Luca made.
Luca smiled and said nothing.
She knew everything that Aunt Neile told her.
Luke loved drinking her homemade coffee back then, but Luca was worried that he would take toomuch caffeine every day. Hence, she would limit Luke from drinking too much coffee.
Therefore, Luke would always drink coffee only in the morning.
Luca asked while she made the coffee, "By the way, did Mr. Crawford drink his soup last night?"
"Yes. The bowl was left in the sink this morning," replied Aunt Neile.
Luca nodded. It seemed like Luke had seen the note she left for him.
She could have sent him a text to remind him, but she thought it would be better not to disturb him if hewas busy with work at the office. That was why she left a note in the foyer.
Luke would change his shoes when he came back. He would see the note when he changed intoslippers.
After Luca made the coffee, she began to prepare breakfast.
Today's breakfast was more simple. Aunt Neile had prepared a lot, so she only had to prepare someside dishes. Breakfast was ready.
"Ms. Craw, is there anything you need to prepare?" Aunt Neile cleaned the bowl and asked.
"That's all. Oh, Mr. Crawford might wake up late today. If you're going to do some cleaning, don't goupstairs so that you won't wake him up. As for the kids, let them stay on the first floor after they wakeup. Don't let them wake Mr. Crawford up." Luca felt sorry for Luke. He did not have much time to rest,and he was always working.
Hence, it was rare to see him sleeping in. Luca did not want him to be disturbed.
"Okay, Ms. Craw. That's very thoughtful of you." Aunt Neile agreed with her and smiled.
Luca quickly ate her breakfast. After she told Aunt Neile about the coffee in the thermos bottle, she gotinto Warren's car and headed to T Corporation.
After she returned to the office, she ran into Rhett and Zoey. Luca knew they were going to WatsonBiopharmaceuticals to get the paperwork for the product launch ready. Thus, she nodded and greetedthem, "Good morning. Thanks for getting this done."
