Luca nodded. She did not ask where Luke was going and replied, "Okay. I'll turn the lights on for you."
“Okay. Don't wait for me. Go to bed early,” reminded Luke. He could not stand to see her staying uplate for his sake.
After all, he would probably only come back home around 3:00 a.m.
“What time are you heading out?” asked Luca.
"Half an hour later.” Luke glanced at the time. They had to arrive at the airport earlier than Matysh. Onlythen they would not be discovered.
They only had to wait for the police to deal with Matysh after hiding.
"Yes. The weather forecast says the temperature will drop tonight. Put on a few more layers of clothes,”reminded Luca. It was colder at night. She did not know what Luke would be doing, and she had noidea if he would be staying indoors or outdoors.novelbin
Hence, she reminded him to put on more layers and keep himself warm.
"Alright," replied Luke. How he wished Luca could ask him where he was going and what he was up to.
However, she did not ask him.
Luca was still deliberately forcing herself to keep her distance.
It made Luke feel even more helpless.
They had to act faster so that Luca could be who she was before.
Half an hour later, Luke drove the car and left the house. Luca stood at the foyer and watched himslowly drive his car out of the villa.
Tommy, who stood beside her, said, “Ms. Luca, did Daddy go out to work?”
“Yes.” Luca nodded and stroked the child's head.
“Then how much longer are you going to stand here?” Tommy stretched his neck and glanced at thescene outside the window. He could no longer see his father's car.
“Huh?” Luca could not understand why the child would suddenly say something like that.
Tommy reminded her, “Daddy's car has left the house. Ms. Luca, what are you looking at?”
Luca's face reddened. Tommy looked innocent, but it was as though he was laughing at her for gazingearnestly. He saw through her with just a glance.
“I was looking at the garden. Spring has come and green leaves are sprouting." Luca pretended toexclaim.
"Ms. Luca, it's cold out here. Let's go in." Tommy held her hand and dragged her into the house.
If it were not for him who dragged her in, no one would know how much longer she would be standingthere.
Luca withdrew her gaze and headed back into the house.
She followed Tommy and came to the sofa. She sat down on it.
Rainie asked, "Ms. Luca, do you know when is Daddy coming home?"
Luca shook her head and replied, "He didn't tell me, but he's probably coming home late tonight.What's the matter?"
Rainie pointed at the exercise books beside her and said, "Daddy hasn't signed our homework."
Luca was speechless as she looked at the exercise books. The moment Luke said he was going out,she was busy thinking about where he was going.
She made a few guesses and thought they were not the reasons.
Then, she eventually forgot about this matter.
"Ms. Luca, you'll probably be asleep when Daddy comes back, right?" said Tommy.
Rainie turned to look at Luca, "Daddy would wake up an hour later whenever he sleeps late. I'mworried that Daddy won't be up yet when we go to school tomorrow morning. Ms. Luca, why don't youimitate his handwriting and sign for us?"
It was not the first time Luca had done it.
Luca nodded and looked at her hand. Her hand was injured. Would she be able to imitate Luke'shandwriting well?
Lanie realized that too and said, "Ms. Luca injured her hand. Let's just ask Daddy to wake up early andsign the books for us."
"It's okay. Let me try," replied Luca. She had seen how Luke signed his name many times. Hence, itonly took her a while to successfully imitate his signature with a similarity score of 70 to 80%.
"Ms. Luca, you don't have to force yourself..." Rainie was worried about her wound.
"It's okay. It should be fine even if the signature looks a little different. If your teacher asks about it,you'll know how to explain it to them," replied Luca as she knew telling the kids to lie to their teacherwas not good behavior.
However, asking her to sign on behalf of Luke was deceiving.
She did not want the kids to wake Luke up early in the morning tomorrow.
Even though Luke had a strong body, she had to make sure he had enough rest.
Tommy smiled and said, "I know what to say. I'll just say Daddy had a business dinner and was drunk,so he couldn't hold his pen properly when he was signing my homework. That's why it doesn't look likehis signature."
Rainie could not help but shake her head and replied, "Those stupid ideas of yours."
"Hey, I have no choice. We have to let Daddy rest a little longer." Tommy stuck his tongue out playfully.
Luca picked up the pen and tried doing Luke's signature on a sheet of white paper. Even though it wasnot as smooth as her hand was bandaged, she was able to hold the pen by applying some force.Moreover, she could still imitate Luke's signature.
The signature used to look 80% similar to Luke's. It was 70% alike now.
Tommy looked at how Luca imitated his father's signature. He could not help but compliment her, “Ms.Luca, that's impressive. This looks like Daddy's signature too."
Luca pursed her lips and smiled. She signed Luke's name on each of their exercise books.
"Alright. Remember to keep them in your bags." Luca let out a sigh of relief when she signed the lastone.
Rainie held her exercise book and asked caringly, "Ms. Luca, does it hurt?"
"No. It's almost healed." Luca stroked Rainie's head with the other hand. "Your cartoon show hasstarted. Go upstairs and take a shower after this. Then, get ready to go to bed."
"Okay," the three of them replied at the same time.
Luca accompanied them to watch the cartoon show. Vivian sent her a message when she waswatching halfway through. She was excitedly telling Luca the interesting stuff that had happened at heruniversity.
Luca smiled as she read Vivian's message, sharing her happiness with her.
The schools in A City were different from the ones in Russia. Luca initially thought Vivian would not beable to get used to it, but it seemed like she was well-adapted to the new environment.
Furthermore, everything in the school seemed great to her.
After Vivian shared her school life, she told Luca about the lecturers too. Luca chatted with her patientlyon the phone.
When the cartoon show ended and the three kids headed upstairs, Luca kept her phone away. Sheturned on the lights in the garden and left one of the lights in the living room on. Then, she headedupstairs with the kids.
"Ms. Luca, who were you chatting with just now?" Tommy asked with curiosity, holding her other handthat was uninjured as they stepped on the staircase.
"I was talking to Ms. Vivian. She was telling me about her school life," answered Luca.
"Wow, is it interesting? When will I be able to be like Ms. Vivian and study at a university?" Tommyblinked his eyes with eagerness.
"You'll be able to go to university when you grow up. Probably when you're 18 years old, but you haveto get good grades to get into a university," said Luca.
The academic competition between students was intense in local high schools and universities thesedays.
Luca knew even though her kids did not study hard, they would still be able to get into a university.Luke only had to make some arrangements and they could get into one.
However, she hoped her kids could get into the university on their own and become great people.
"18 years old. That's too far away. I'll eat more so that I can grow up fast!" Tommy muttered as he wassent to his bedroom by Luca.
“Not only do you have to eat more, but you also need to get more rest to grow up healthily. Go and takea shower." Luca glanced at Lanie and Rainie. They had already returned to their bedrooms.
