Chapter 1252 Her Identity Was a Mystery
’Did he skip lunch and dinner again?’
Luca remembered the scene at the hospital earlier. She heard that he had been keeping watch in thehospital for the entire night, which meant that he probably had not eaten a proper meal since the plateof spaghetti at her house the day before yesterday.
Tommy noticed her hesitation. He wagged her hand. *'My Daddy has gastric problems, Ms. Luca."
Right, he has gastric problems...'
Luca gently pinched Tommy's hand and said, "I only have spaghetti, vegetables, and eggs at home, soI can't cook something too fancy. He can come and eat if he doesn't mind that."
She sighed to herself. She could not bear to see Luke torture himself after all.
'He must be tired all these years, having to take care of the company and the children...' "Daddy won'tmind it at all. Your scrambled eggs are great," Tommy said with a grin. He ran back to the car and toldLuke who was sitting in the driver's seat, " Daddy, Ms. Luca promised to cook for us. Let's go."
Luke raised his eyebrows. Somehow, Luca was convinced by Tommy's sob story.
Luca watched him park the car in a parking spot and step out of the car. She did not say anything andwalked toward her apartment.
Tommy jogged up to Luca and took her hand. "Don't go so fast, Ms. Luca."
It was then that Luca realized that she had subconsciously walked faster, so she slowed down a little.Soon, Luke caught up to her.
The street lights in the neighborhood cast long shadows on the three people. Even though the adultskept some distance from each other, their shadows looked so close together.
It was as though they were a family of three.novelbin
"How is Mrs. Crawford?" Luca asked, breaking the silence.
"After her fever subsided, her body temperature remained constant," Luke said. He knew that Bianca'sfever had not returned because the caretaker did not call him for the entire day.
"She's not very healthy, so her fever might return some day. You should make sure that she keeps ondrinking the concoction," Luca said carefully, though she felt bitter in her heart.
Luke seemed to talk more when talking about Bianca.
Inexplicably, he became doubtful after hearing what Luca told him. "Are you sure that it's only thecommon cold?" "That's as far as I can conclude from the test report." Luca nodded. Indeed, she couldnot give any other answer. She could not tell him that it was because of the drug.
The chief physician had told him the same thing, but Luke somehow felt that Luca was hidingsomething.
The three people stepped into the elevator and arrived at Luca's house.
Luca opened the door, put her handbag on the couch, and turned around to look at the man behindher. He was walking into the house, so she told him, "Sit down for a while. I'll go and cook in thekitchen." "Ms. Luca, why not ask Daddy to help you?" Tommy said eagerly.
Luca shook her head. For a while, she thought that Tommy was trying to match her with Luke.
"I'm fine doing it myself. It won't take long for me to cook something simple." She turned around andwalked to the kitchen.
Tommy saw Luke sitting on the couch as though he was in his own house, so he sat down beside him."Can I discuss something with you, Daddy?" "I don't agree," Luke said. Even though Tommy had notmentioned what it was, he could guess that it had something to do with Luca.
Tommy puffed his cheeks. "I haven't even said it!"
Luke did not reply. He took out his phone and read his work emails.
Tommy whispered into his ear, "Daddy, I'd like Ms. Luca to be my godmother. What do you think?""No," Luke replied while he browsed through an email and deleted it. His tone remained the same.
"Hmph!" Tommy crossed his arms and said angrily, "I've done so much for you, but you can't evenagree to one small request! Daddy, you old geezer!"
Luke did not reply.
Tommy bit his lip. He knew that there was no use changing his father's mind once he had made adecision.
He picked up the remote control, turned on the television, and raised the volume.
Luke was not bothered by the loud sounds coming from the television. He continued to read his emails.
About half an hour later, Luca served the food on the dining table. Her heart warmed when she saw thefather and son sitting on the couch. "Let's eat."
When Tommy heard that, he hopped off the couch, walked to the dining table, and took a deep whiff."You shouldn't be working in Daddy's company, Ms. Luca. If you open a restaurant, I'll go there every
day."
Luca smiled as she filled up a plate with spaghetti and placed it across the table. That was Luke’splate.
She filled up a smaller plate for Tommy, thinking that he must have eaten his dinner earlier.
Luke came over and looked at the food she had prepared. It was only Spaghetti Aglio e Olio withsauteed vegetables and omelets, but it looked very delicious.
It was as though the simplest ingredients could become extreme delicacies in her hands.
Luke suddenly remembered that Bianca used to be able to do that. She would turn simple ingredientsinto delicious food so that the children would eat more.
He realized that when he was with the impostor Bianca, his heart would not be fluttering like what hewas experiencing now, and he would rarely reminisce about the past.
However, when he was with Luca, he could not help but think of the precious Bianca.
Luke lifted his head and looked at Luca. She was pouring a glass of milk...
Did the woman possess some magic that evoked his past memories?
Earlier, Gale had sent him an email saying that he encountered some complications while investigatingLuca in Russia. He could only send Luke the information in a few days.
Luca's identity remained a mystery.
Luca put the two glasses of milk in front of the father and son. Tommy was already eating, but Luke hadnot touched his fork.
His gaze was transfixed on her.
Luca felt her heart skip a beat. She was easily affected by Luke's cold and penetrating gaze.
She remembered that he used to look at her with a gentle gaze, and that had made her very dejected.
She sat down on the chair and pretended to ask, "Mr. Crawford, is there a problem with the spaghetti?"
Tommy answered first, "The spaghetti is amazing, Ms. Luca."
Even though Tommy did not enunciate his words clearly because he had a full mouth, Luca couldunderstand what he said. She placed half an omelet on Tommy's plate and said, "You should eat morethen."
