Female Novel
Chapter 2730
"Now you know why I asked you to do this, huh?" Rain rose to her feet with a smile on her face andpatted Gale on the shoulder.
It was originally her job, but Leia disgusted her so much that she entrusted Gale with the task instead.
Rain was in charge of some other matters.
Gale shook his head and went upstairs, resigning himself to continue investigating Leia.
They followed Luke's instructions. They had to compile a list of all the bad things Leia had done andshow them to Queenie.
Luke and Jack both believed that Queenie should not be soft-hearted toward Leia. It was the best wayfor her to get to know the real Leia.
"Ask your subordinates to do it for you if you find it too disgusting," added Rain.
"I'll do it when I can't take it anymore." Gale walked up to the second floor and continued with his work.
Rain returned to the third floor to continue work too.
...
The next day.
It was Saturday. Luca woke up later than usual.
She opened her eyes and habitually looked beside her, but Luke had already gotten up.
Luca was surprised. When did he get up? How did she not notice?
She got up and listened carefully. There was no sound coming from the bathroom. When she wasabout to get out of bed to wash up, her phone, which was on the bedside table, rang.
Luca answered the call.
"Luca, are you okay?" Nina's voice that came from the other end of the line sounded deeply concerned.She stayed up late last night, and while she was scrolling through news pages, she saw a viral videoon the internet.
Nina clicked the link and found someone maliciously splashing sulfuric acid on the other person inpublic.
Nina immediately recognized that the person who got attacked was Luca. She wanted to call to checkon her.
However, Percy stopped her, claiming that Luca seemed fine in the video and she was probably restingat this time. He advised her not to call at this time.
Nina thought it made sense and watched the video again. Luca seemed to be unharmed. Thus, shewaited until this morning and assumed that Luca had woken up by now before quickly giving Luca acall.
"I'm fine." Luca got out of bed, put on her slippers, and drew the curtains.
The weather was great.
Luca opened the window. A warm breeze blew across her face. The weather in A City was starting towarm up.
Her heart grew warmer and warmer too.
"I'm glad that you're okay. You were fast enough." Nina let out a sigh of relief. She had been on pinsand needles after she saw the video last night.
After she confirmed that Luca was really okay, she set her worries aside.
"How did you know about this?" Luca asked with curiosity. Luke probably did not tell Percy about this.
"Someone filmed a video and uploaded it to the forum. I recognized you at first glance when I saw theperson trying to splash the sulfuric acid on you," answered Nina.
"It was probably one of the employees working at Watsons who filmed it," murmured Luca as sherubbed her temples. Luke and she rushed to the hospital with the researcher to treat his wound lastnight. They were not there to deal with the situation.
She did not expect one of the employees would take out their phone and start filming...
"You're fine. That's all that matters," Nina chuckled. "I'm not keeping you. I'm going to a party withPercy later, and I need to prepare some gifts."
"Okay. Go ahead," Luca replied before ending the call. Then, she walked into the bathroom to freshenup before changing into casual home clothes.
As she opened her bedroom door, she noticed that the opposite room door was open. Luke was sittingin front of his computer, busy working.
"You're awake." Luke shifted his gaze when he heard footsteps and saw her. His eyes softened withaffection.
"Yes. Do you need me to get your breakfast up here?" Luca asked as she noticed the pile ofdocuments on his desk. He did not bring that much with him back home last night.
"Sure. Let me finish these. We'll be heading to Louis' place for lunch," replied Luke. Today was the dayLouis moved.
"Okay. I'll check on the kids first." After that, Luca gently pushed open Tommy's bedroom door. The kidswere still asleep.
It was Saturday. They had agreed to let the kids sleep an hour longer than usual.
Luca then opened Rainie's and Lanie's bedroom doors. They were not up yet.
Hence, she turned around and headed downstairs.
After she arrived on the first floor, she saw Aunt Neile cleaning the living room.
"Good morning, Ms. Craw," Aunt Neile greeted her with a smile when she saw Luca come downstairs.
"Good morning, Aunt Neile." Luca nodded and walked toward the store room.
"What are you looking for?" Aunt Neile asked with curiosity.
"I bought some gifts to congratulate Louis on moving to his new home. I plan to take them out. Mr.Crawford will send them over at noon," explained Luca. Even though Louis also invited her, Luca wasreluctant to go.
Susan would give her a disdainful look if she went there.
"Gifts? Let me help you find them. I tidied the storeroom the other day. I might have moved some ofyour stuff away," Aunt Neile said as she followed her into the store room. "Old Master Crawford gave usa lot of goods back then, and the store room was a bit messy. I tidied everything since I had some freetime a few days ago. It's properly organized."
Aunt Neile opened a cabinet and took out a bag. "Ms. Craw, is this the bag you're looking for?"
"Yes. Thank you, Aunt Neile." Luca recognized the packaging and took the bag from her. Then, sheasked, "Where did you put the electrical appliances?"
Luca also bought some electrical appliances as a gift so that they would look more presentable.
"They're here." Aunt Neile lifted the white cloth covering the electrical appliance boxes.
"Alright. Just leave it here for now." Luca put the box next to the electrical appliances.
"Okay." Aunt Neile nodded.
"By the way, Mr. Crawford is working upstairs. Can you please bring his breakfast up later?" askedLuca.
"He's already working at this hour?" Aunt Neile was a little surprised.novelbin
"Yes, I'll go make him a cup of coffee." Luca was deeply asleep last night. She did not know what timeLuke woke up.
Hence, she was planning to make him a cup of coffee to give him a lift.
Aunt Neile smiled and said, “Mr. Crawford loves the coffee you make for him.”
Luca walked into the kitchen. The maid was almost done preparing the breakfast. She saw Lucawalking into the kitchen and said, "Ms. Craw, breakfast is ready. Would you like to have breakfastnow?"
"I'll have it later. Let me make a cup of coffee first." Luca shook her head. The breakfast prepared bythe maid was sumptuous.
Luca took the coffee beans out and began to make some coffee.
After Luca finished making the coffee, she placed it on the counter and said to the maid beside her,"Mr. Crawford is working upstairs. Please bring his breakfast and the coffee upstairs for him."
"Okay, Ms. Craw," replied the maid. She placed the breakfast on the tray, then she placed the cup ofcoffee Luca made on it and carried it upstairs.
Luca glanced at the time and said to Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, it's getting late. Can you please goupstairs and check if the kids are awake?"
