Female Novel
Chapter 2995
Luca got Luke wrapped around her finger for sure.
Before Luca confessed her identity, she used to be a bit cautious when she talked to him. Now, it wasall out in the open. She had admitted her true identity, and things were just like before—except Lukefelt like there was a slight decline in the position he held in her heart.
It seemed that the kids were ahead of him now.
As Rainie watched how her mother had his father wrapped around her finger, she grinned from ear toear. She lay in the middle of the bed, claiming it for the night. Her mother and father would be on herleft and right.
She wondered if her brothers would envy her once they found out!
When Luca saw Rainie lying down on the bed, she sat back in front of the dressing table. She appliedskincare products on her face and dried her hair. "Rainie, mind if I finish drying my hair before we go tosleep?"
"Sure, Ms. Luca. No problem!" Rainie smiled, ready to climb down from the bed. "Ms. Luca, let me helpyou dry your hair!"
"I've got it.” Luke was not planning to let his daughter take over his job. He grabbed the hairdryer, set itto the right temperature, and started drying Luca's hair.
His long fingers gently lift her silky hair, letting the warm air reach the roots and flow down, leaving herhair smooth.
Luca looked at herself and Luke in the mirror. She suddenly had this illusion that days like these wouldcontinue for decades to come.novelbin
She hoped Luke would not find it troublesome to dry her hair in the years to come.
Luca wanted to ask if Luke would help her to dry her hair for a lifetime.
However, with Rainie present, she refrained from asking such an embarrassing question.
After all, only young couples would ask such things.
She was already the mother of four of Luke's children. She was no longer young. It was her luck to stillbe loved and cherished by him.
Luca smiled. After her hair was dried, she lay down on the right side of Rainie.
Rainie immediately snuggled into Luca's arms, sweetly smiling with a hint of mischief in her eyes."Daddy, please turn off the lights."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Luke's eyes when he watched his wife being claimed by theirdaughter. He sat on the edge of the bed and turned off the lights.
The bed was large. It did not feel cramped at all with two adults and a child. However, Luke feltuncomfortable.
He felt like Rainie had taken his most comfortable pillow, leaving him mercilessly relegated to the edge.
The dignified CEO of T Corporation and the heir to the Crawford family felt an unprecedented sense offrustration.
He lay in bed, and he just could not fall asleep no matter what. He wanted to move to Luca's side. Hecould only sleep peacefully when she was by his side.
Luke quietly made his decision. Once he heard Rainie's steady breathing, he sat up straight andglanced over at Luca's side.
Luca was starting to feel a bit sleepy at this point, but she did not fall asleep as easily as the child. Still,she looked at Luke, with her eyes half-closed, wondering what he was up to. To her surprise, he slightlyleaned down and gently shifted Rainie to the side.
"What are you doing?" Luca asked in a soft voice, not understanding why he did such a thing.
"I can't sleep without you in my arms. Darling, you wouldn't want me to be sleepless all night, wouldyou?" asked Luke as he picked up his pillow and moved it to the other side of the bed.
The remaining space was just right for him to lie down.
Without asking Luca to shift toward the center, he simply set down his pillow and prepared to lie down.
Luca could only shift to the middle when she saw what he did, making more space for him. "What ifRainie accidentally falls off later if we let her sleep on the side?"
"Rainie isn't like Tommy and Lanie. She sleeps well, and she won't fall off the bed. Don't worry," repliedLuke.
If Rainie were still a five-year-old, he might be able to tolerate it, but she was a big girl now. He insistedon sleeping with Luca.
He lay down, pulling Luca into his arms.
"Hey, you..." Luca was left speechless by his actions. She was worried about waking Rainie if hecontinued. She had no choice but to go along with his actions.
She figured she could handle a slightly lighter sleep at night to take care of Rainie.
Luke pulled Luca into his arms. Even though he could not do what he wanted, he felt satisfied. Heclosed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep. Don't worry about Rainie. She won't fall off the
bed."
Luca pursed her lips helplessly. It seemed that their daughter was less important now. It turned outLuke was really...
She thought Rainie was daddy's little girl, especially since the two sons were usually punished moreseverely when their daughter would only get a gentle scolding.
Now, it seemed like their daughter was no longer his top priority.
In Luke's heart, the person he valued most was Luca...
Rainie had no idea that Luke moved her while she was asleep. When she woke up, she realized shewas no longer in the middle. She just thought she must have rolled to the side while sleeping restlessly.
Since Luke was already up, she only saw Luca beside her when she woke up.
Luca smiled and touched her fair and soft little face. "Rainie, are you awake?"
"Yes, I'm up!" Rainie gave her a sweet smile. It felt great waking up to her mother!
"How was your sleep last night?" asked Luca. Even though Rainie did not wake up last night, kidscould feel uneasy sleeping in an unfamiliar place
This uneasy feeling sometimes manifested in bedwetting, other times in insomnia or vivid dreams withmidnight awakenings.
"I had a good night's sleep. Sleeping with Ms. Luca was comforting and cozy. This bed is comfy too."Rainie was the sweetest talker.
Rainie finally understood why her younger brother always wanted to sleep with Luca when he wasyounger.
Sleeping in her mother's arms was the most comforting.
Rainie hoped that she could continue sleeping with Luca, but she knew she was not allowed to do sobecause of her father.
"Ms. Luca, what time is it?" asked Rainie.
"It's already 7:05 am," answered Luca as she picked up her phone and checked the time.
"I'll go back and get ready for school." Rainie got up, stretched lazily, grabbed her pillow, and headedout of the bedroom.
Before she returned to her room, she bumped into Tommy, who was coming out of his bedroom.
"Rainie, why are you..." Tommy saw Rainie holding her pillow and realized that she was going back toher room. Did she sleep with their parents last night?
"Did you sleep in the master bedroom last night?" asked Tommy.
"Yes, I slept with Ms. Luca. Oh, and Daddy too," answered Rainie, making it a bragging point.
After all, Lanie was more mature and would not pay much attention to her showing off.
However, Tommy was different. She loved to see him being envious of her.
Especially since he took away a good amount of their mother's love when he was younger!
"Wow, I'd like to sleep in Ms. Luca's room too! Tonight..."
Before Tommy could finish his words, Rainie threw a wrench in his plans. "Daddy made it clear that thisis a one-time thing. No more after this."
