Female Novel
Chapter 1553
Jack shook his head and said, “No, that can’t be. Luca isn’t like that.”
After all his years as a politician, he was a good judge of character. He did not believe that Luca wassomeone who would befriend the three children just to get close to Luke.
Moreover, she did not seem intimate with Luke.
“You’re not thinking about this carefully enough…” After so many years married, Queenie knew whatJack was thinking without him saying it.
“Do you think that Luca and Luke are innocent just because they’re not physically intimate with eachother? There are some things that adults can hide but children can’t, Jack. Look at our threegrandchildren. They don’t show any resistance toward Luca at all. It means that they’re very familiarwith Luca. I know what your worries are. Even though there’s nothing between Luca and Luke now,who can tell what will happen in the future? Bea is still overseas, and I think we should keep an eye onLuke for her…”
“Well, I still trust Luca. Even if I don’t trust her, I trust Luke. He’s not that kind of man who would shiftloyalties,” Jack said.
Queenie also trusted Luke’s character. Even though he might be involved in scandals from time to time,he had always refrained from commenting on any of them, believing that his innocence will be provenby his silence. Every time, he would turn out to be right; the supermodels and actresses were the onesto have ulterior motives.
However, Bianca was not in the country now, and no one was keeping an eye on Luke.
Any man would have been restless by now…
She trusted Luke, but she was worried that Luca might use the children to get close to him…
Once a man made a mistake, he would continue making that mistake many more times…
Their daughter would be the one to suffer.
“Regardless of Luca’s character, I hope you can find a chance to talk to Luke tomorrow, alright?”Queenie asked.
Jack thought that Queenie should not worry, but it was already late, and they needed to rest. Henodded and said, “Alright, I’ll talk to Luke tomorrow.”
“Mm.” Queenie nodded. She finished applying her moisturizer, got on the bed, and hugged Jack tosleep.
Meanwhile, Luca lay on the sofa bed and flipped around. She could not sleep at all.
A short while later, the door to the playroom opened.
Luca immediately sat up and turned on the table light. She noticed Tommy tiptoeing into the room andasked, “Tommy? It’s already so late. Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”
Tommy grinned when he saw that Luca was not asleep yet. “You’re not sleeping either, Ms. Luca.”
Luca beckoned at Tommy and asked him to go over.novelbin
Tommy went over and stood next to her. “Why haven’t you fallen asleep, Ms. Luca? Is the bed toosmall?”
“No, it’s just that I’m not used to sleeping in unfamiliar environments. How about you? I know that youdon’t have to go to school tomorrow, but it’s not healthy to stay up so late,” Luca said as she gentlytouched the tip of Tommy’s nose.
“I was worried that you can’t sleep, so I’m here to exchange bed with you. I’m small, so I don’t mindsleeping on this sofa bed. You’re different though. You should go and sleep in the bedroom…” Tommysaid while pointing at the door.
Luca smiled and shook her head. “It’s fine. You should go to bed. You shouldn’t be sleeping so lateanyway.”
“No. You should go and sleep in the bedroom, Ms. Luca. You’ll be much more comfortable on the bigbed,” Tommy said. He was a considerate boy.
Luca was grateful for the offer, but she knew that she should not go. “I can’t do that. Your elder siblingsand your Daddy are all there. I can’t sleep there.”
“Why not?” Tommy looked at her and asked curiously.
“Of course not. Your Daddy and I are both adults. He’s a man, and I’m a woman. Only a man and awoman who are married can sleep together,” Luca explained to him, not worrying that Tommy might betoo young to understand it.
He would have to know about it sooner or later anyway, and it was a good opportunity to educate him.
“Oh, if it’s like that…” Tommy nodded and continued asking, “What about an adult and children then?Can they sleep together?”
“Of course they can. You’ve slept in my bed before, right?” Luca said while pinching his plump cheeks.If Tommy would grow up the same way as Lanie, his round face would eventually become sharper. Shewanted to pinch his face while it was still round.
“That settles it then. You should come over and sleep with us. Daddy can sleep on the floor.” Tommyheld her hand and wanted to lead her out of the room.
“I can’t do that.” Luca remained seated on the sofa bed.
Tommy turned around and looked at Luca with puppy eyes. “Can’t you accompany me, Ms. Luca?”
Luca knew that Tommy was only faking it, but she asked anyway, “Isn’t your Daddy there to accompanyyou? Also, you’re a big boy now. Do you still need your parents to sleep with you?”
“Ms. Luca, that’s my Mommy’s room. I haven’t seen her for a long time, and I can’t sleep because Imiss her. You remind me a lot of my Mommy, so I thought of asking you,” Tommy said. He blinked hard,which caused tears to appear in his eyes.
“But your Daddy…” Luca remained hesitant.
“Daddy said that he’ll sleep on the floor if you agree to go over,” Tommy said.
Luca raised her eyebrows. She did not expect that Luke was still awake and had been discussing itwith the children.
It meant that he probably heard Leia too…
However, Luke did not come out of the room and catch her in the act. The only explanation was that hehad other plans.
“Let’s go. I’ll bring you there.” Luca could not bear to see the child cry.
When Tommy said that he missed his mother, she felt quite emotional…
Tommy led Luca into Bianca’s bedroom. From the nightlight, Luca saw Luke sitting on the couchinstead of sleeping on the bed.
“Mr. Crawford? Why aren’t you resting yet…” Luca asked.
Luke glanced at Tommy, then at Luca. The nightlight outlined a beautiful silhouette on her face.
“The children said they miss their Mommy. I can’t sleep,” he said.
Just as he finished speaking, Rainie, who was sitting on the bed, said, “Ms. Luca, I miss my Mommytoo.”
Luca looked at the children. Even Lanie was sitting on the bed. She thought that all of them had fallenasleep…
“What are you going to do?” She asked.
Luke remained seated. “The children aren’t usually like this. They’re emotional because this is theirmother’s bedroom. Why don’t you accompany them to sleep today? The bed is spacious enough to fitfour people.”
