Female Novel
Chapter 1533
Luca kept quiet. She noticed Jenni’s admiration for Luke.
Jealousy arose in her heart because of the admiration, so she spoke without thinking upon beingtriggered.
Luca did not make any comment and continued eating her pasta with her head down.
Seeing her act as if nothing had happened, Tina sighed in her heart. Jenni’s words were triggering butLuca was still calm. Tina was impressed…
She was impressed by her good temper…
Luca took a sip of the juice and wiped her mouth.
“Tina, don’t be angry. She won’t dare to talk nonsense again after this time.” Luca was aware of humannature. Jenni acted out of jealousy but would never dare to gossip about Tina.
As for Tina and Jason, she believed that they were innocent.
Jason was a wonderful husband who could give Sue a stable and safe life…
Of course, the premise of that stable life was that Bailey Quarrington was not present.
Luca took a few more bites and felt that she was almost full. Tina saw this and said enviously, “Dr.Craw, you have such a small appetite. You won’t gain weight no matter what you eat, right?”
“I usually eat quite a lot. I just don’t have an appetite today,” Luca explained.
Tina was nervous when she heard that Luca had no appetite. “What’s wrong? Is there somethingwrong with your body? Do you want to ask the doctor to come and have a look at you?”
Seeing how nervous she was, Luca shook her head and said, “It’s okay. I’m just not used to the foodhere. I’ll head off now.”
Tina wanted to have a chat with Luca but she thought that she needed rest and did not ask her to stay.
Luca put the dinner plate in the recycling area and left the restaurant. When she walked to the elevator,she happened to bump into Luke.
“Mr. Crawford, good evening.” She could not pretend to not see him since they had bumped into eachother, so she took the initiative to say hello.
“Mm.” Luke nodded and noticed that she came from the restaurant. He asked casually, “You had yourdinner?”
“Yes.” Luca nodded, and the elevator reached their floor. She took a look at the other elevators. Noneof them had reached, so she had no choice but to step in with Luke.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Luca swiped the room card and pressed the elevator button.
Luke also swiped his room card and pressed for his floor.
Luca noticed that Luke’s suite was on the floor above hers.
The decoration of the hotel was gorgeous, even inside the elevator. The elevator was spacious. Hestood in the center of the elevator while she automatically stood in the corner of the elevator.
She had to remind herself the entire time that what had happened that night on the mountain was just acoincidence.
She and Luke would not have a bright future together, nor would they get their fairy tale ending.
Luca took a peek at Luke’s side profile. She was grateful that she had the chance to be with him in thepast.
“Is your brother still in B City?” Luke suddenly asked.
Luca came back to her senses and nodded. Even though Luke was not looking at her, he could still seeher movements through the elevator mirror.
“Yeah, he’s still in City B.”
She guessed that if Luke had gotten someone to monitor her, he must have also found someone tomonitor Amur. Although Luke’s men may not be able to track Amur, he should be aware if Amur had leftB City.
“Since you’re here, why don’t you go meet him?” Luke asked.
Luca was speechless. Except for the first night when she secretly went to see Amur, she had no othertime to see him.
Firstly, it was because she nearly drowned. Secondly, she was being watched by him. Thirdly, she wastrapped on a mountain for a night.
Luke thought of something and said, “Yes, you didn’t have a chance before but we’ll be going back in afew days. You should hang out with him. Siblings should care for each other.”
“Mm, I will. Thank you for your concern.” Luca was at a loss. ‘What does Luke mean by saying this?
‘Could it be that his men found out what Amur is doing?’
When the elevator reached her floor, Luca hurried past Luke and walked out.
Luke frowned at Luca’s hurried pace. ‘Is she walking so fast because she’s afraid that I’ll follow her?’
That night on the mountain, she leaned against him when she felt cold but her attitude was not ascold…
He still remembered her reliance on him and the warmth he felt with her in his arms…
Luke watched as the elevator doors slowly closed. Luca had already turned a corner and disappearedbefore his eyes. His gaze was distant.
Late at night.
Luke sat on the sofa in the guest room and processed some documents. Out of the blue, he received acall from the lawyer who was helping Allison.
He answered the call.
“What’s the matter?” he asked.
“Mr. Crawford, where are you now? Ms. Tanner wants to see you tomorrow.” The lawyer conveyedAllison’s message.
Luke frowned and said, “I’m not in A City right now. What’s the matter?”
“Uh… When are you coming back?” The lawyer asked without answering his question.
“Give it to me straight.” Luke’s attitude was not the best as he was dissatisfied with the lawyer’shesitant attitude.
The lawyer was afraid that Luke would not talk to him if he knew that the call was about Allison, so hewent around in circles. He noticed that Luke hated it so he said, “Ms. Tanner expressed dissatisfactiontoward the plastic surgeon that you arranged for her. She’s saying that the drugs are not working welland asked to see you.”
Luke could not help but get impatient when he heard how Allison was making a big fuss because of herface.
She had no one but herself to blame for what had happened to her face but she was causing troublefor everyone around her…
“Got it. I’ll let you know when I get back,” Luke said.
“Mr. Crawford, it’s best if you can finish your trip sooner…” Seeing that Luke did not give any timeline,the lawyer said hesitantly.
“What’s wrong?” Luke asked.
“Ms. Tanner said that if you don’t see her soon, she’ll kill herself in prison.” The lawyer told him aboutAllison’s threat.
Although one was not allowed to bring dangerous items into prison, there would always be a way forthe prisoners to commit suicide if they wanted to.novelbin
“I don’t think Ms. Tanner is joking. The doctor at the prison gave her a psychological evaluation andcommented that her current psychological condition is very poor,” the lawyer said. He thought that Lukewould not let her be no matter how rough their relationship was, considering that she was his biologicalmother.
“Got it,” Luke said.
Listening to his indifferent tone, the lawyer did not know what to say and ended the call silently.
Not long after he hung up the call, Johann also called Luke. The moment Luke answered the call, hecomplained, “Luke, your mother is a lunatic!”
