Chapter 2732
Luca's hand paused for a moment, and she looked at herself in the mirror with a faint smile. Then, sheput down the eyebrow pencil and turned around to tease him, “Mr. Crawford, was your breakfast thismorning sweet? Why are such sweet words coming out of your mouth?"
"I'm just saying the truth." Luke looked at her elegant features. Whether it was Bianca or Luca, she wasstill pretty.
Even if all her features had changed, it was still the same face that he adored.
"But the coffee today was quite sweet," he added.
When Luca heard that, she was wondering how could the coffee be sweet when no sugar was added?Then, she instantly knew what he meant, and she blushed again. She sat upright and continued fillingin her eyebrows. "I didn't know you liked sweet drinks. I'll add more sugar for you next time."
"Sure," Luke agreed without hesitation.
Luca smiled and shook her head. He actually agreed.
She was familiar with how Luke liked his coffee. She knew that he did not add milk or sugar as he likedplain bitter coffee. He said that it was the only way he could get the authentic taste of coffee.
After putting on makeup, Luca looked at herself carefully in the mirror to see if there were anymistakes. She stood up when she was done checking.
Luke had finished changing at the same time.
"It's almost time, and I just got Louis' message. Let's go," said Luke as he put his phone away.
Louis had just sent him a message saying that all the preparations were done, and they could go now.
"Great, all the presents are ready, but I don't think the two of us can carry them. We need Aunt Neile tohelp," said Luca.
Although Luke and Louis were brothers, they did not share the same mother. No matter how well theygot along, if he ever fell short as the elder brother, Susan would give him a mouthful.
She was not willing to see her beloved man getting slandered by Susan, so she did not hold back whenbuying gifts and home appliances, and the price tags were hefty too.
That way, it showed that Louis was important to Luke, so Susan would not criticize him in front ofothers.
"Sure, it's not that far anyway," Luke followed her downstairs after saying that.
The kids were already waiting downstairs.
"I'll go tell Aunt Neile," said Luca as she turned and walked into the kitchen as Aunt Neile and AuntLaurel should be busy in the kitchen right now.
"Can you help deliver the gifts to Master Louis' house?" She walked into the kitchen and saw both ofthem there, so she asked.
"Of course. It's no problem," said Aunt Neile with a smile as she stopped what she was doing.
Aunt Laurel nodded and stopped the task at hand as she followed Luca out of the kitchen.
Luca went to the storage room and intended to have Aunt Neile carry the lighter gifts, but Aunt Neileunexpectedly picked up the heavier appliances and walked out. "Ms. Craw, you should take the lighterones."
Aunt Laurel followed suit and carried another piece of appliance out.
Luca shook her head at the sight of both of them. She bent over to pick up the remaining appliances.However, Luke walked in and took the rest. "Is this it?"
"Yup." Luca had no choice but to pick up the two bags of small gifts.
Aunt Neile and Aunt Laurel had taken all the heavy ones, and these two bags were light.
Luca walked out of the storage room to see Luke and the kids waiting for her.
"Ms. Luca, let me help you." Lanie came over to take a bag from her hands.novelbin
The gift the kids prepared was being carried by Tommy and Rainie, so he came over himself to helpLuca carry the bags.
"Sure." The bag was not heavy, so Luca let him carry the other one.
They walked out of the house and went to the house next door.
The gate was wide open because of the housewarming party, so they just walked in. Aunt Neile andAunt Laurel had put down all the appliances by then.
"Brother, you're here." Louis smiled brightly when he saw Luke walk in, and he walked over to greethim.
"Yeah, where should I put these?" Asked Luke.
Louis noticed that each of them had something in their hands and said in surprise, "That many? Putthem here."
He led them to where the presents should be placed.
"There isn't a lot. It's just a few things," said Luke as he put down the appliances. Then, he took thebags from Luca and Lanie to put them aside as well.
Luca did buy a lot, but Louis was his brother, so the amount she bought was justifiable.
It was just a token of appreciation.
"Uncle Louis, the three of us made these gifts for you!" Rainie took the bags and handed them to Louis.
"You made these? Amazing." Louis happily accepted the gifts and said to Luke with a smile. "Brother,the gifts my niece and nephew gave are better than yours."
"I think so too. These kids have been making them for several nights, and they even kept it a secretfrom us, saying that they wanted to give you a surprise." A smirk appeared on Luke's face.
"Thank you, Lanie, Rainie, and Tommy." Louis thanked the three of them and called over the temporarymaid from Crawford Manor, "Aunt Cassy, bring these two gifts to my room."
“Yes, Master Louis." Aunt Cassy took the gifts inside.
“Brother, Dr. Craw, have a seat in the garden first. We'll eat once everyone is almost here," said Louis.
"Sure." Luke was about to leave when Susan made her way over here.
“Luke, you're here?" Susan squinted. She was greeting Luke, but her eyes were on Luca.
Why was she here?
What a disgrace. Why did Louis invite her?
The thought of Luca sucking up to Old Master Crawford again and again annoyed Susan.
She was just someone who knew a little bit about pharmacology, yet Old Master Crawford treated heras if she was his future granddaughter-in-law, and that made her speechless.
It had not been long since Bianca was chased away, and now came Luca. The women Luke broughthome gave her a hard time.
“Mother," Luke greeted her with a cold expression as the warmth in his eyes disappeared immediatelyfrom when he was looking at Louis.
“Grandma Susan," the three kids greeted her too.
“Hello, Madam Crawford." Luca had no choice but to greet her too, but she did so in a monotonousvoice.
Susan's lips curled upward as she looked at the table where the gifts were placed. All the gifts hadbeen checked and recorded by her, so she knew at a glance what gifts were just added to the pile.
Susan was being fussy, and she asked, “That's all?"
“Mother..." Louis frowned. Although it was only two words, he could tell from her tone that she wascriticizing Luke.
