Female Novel
Chapter 1564
Luca's story was rather long. She would not be able to finish it even if she stayed all day.
The kids listened carefully and sat around her on the carpet like she was a kindergarten teacherplaying games with children.
When the butler walked in with some juice and snacks, a look of disbelief flashed across his face.
Tommy, who was always the most active, was sitting there quietly. He did not cry nor make a fuss. Helooked obedient and even...focused.
The only thing that he could focus on was cartoons but he was so focused on listening to Luca telling astory at that moment.
The butler admired her in his heart.
Luca noticed the butler walk in with something in his hands so she stopped telling the story and smiledat him.
Tommy was fascinated with the story and was curious when she stopped all of a sudden. "Ms. Luca,what happened next?"
"Ms. Craw, Young Masters and Young Lady, the chef prepared some juice and snacks. Come and havesome." The butler walked over to them with a tray in his hands.
Tommy had his back to the door the whole time so he just only noticed the butler walking in.
After he put the tray on the coffee table in front of the sofa, Tommy stood up, picked up a glass of juice,and handed it to Luca. "Ms. Luca, have some juice."
"Thank you," Luca took it and had a sip.
Afterward, the three children also took a cup each.
The butler looked at them and felt as though he had interrupted the harmonious scene in front of him.He said, "If you need anything, let me know. I'll be downstairs."
Luca nodded.
After the butler left, Tommy asked, "Ms. Luca, what happened next?"
Luca looked at how eager Tommy seemed to finish the story, then glanced at the other two pairs ofeyes that were looking at her. She drank the juice and continued the story.
On the other hand.
The butler returned to the tea room after he delivered the fruit juice and snacks. Old Master Crawfordwas drinking tea. He had invited someone over to play chess with him but the other party could notcome because he had something to do, so the old master could only sit in the tea room and drink tea.
"Old Master Crawford, I just delivered the fruit juice and snacks," the butler reported.
"Oh? What are they doing?" Old Master Crawford asked.
"Ms. Craw is telling the children a story. They're all sitting together listening to her,” the butler said. Heonly heard two sentences of Luca's story, so he did not know what story she was telling.
When Lanie and Rainie were young, they did not have a mother to take care of them and Luke did nothave too much time to spend with the children. Occasionally, the butler would tell the children bedtimestories. Hence, he had read a lot of their storybooks.
However, he had not read the story that Luca was telling.
"Telling stories? Lanie went to listen too?" Old Master Crawford asked. Lanie was the most mature outof the three. He was not usually interested in this sort of stuff.
"Yes, Young Master Lanie is there," the butler replied.
Old Master Crawford was surprised and paused when he picked up the teacup. He put it down andpointed to the opposite seat. "Have some tea with me."
"Okay." The butler nodded and sat across from him. He skillfully brewed tea and poured Old MasterCrawford a new cup of tea.
He asked tentatively when he saw that Old Master Crawford was slowly and silently sipping his tea,"Old Master Crawford, do you have something on your mind?"
"Indeed, my poor grandson has had a hard life." Old Master Crawford sighed. Luke was sent to theorphanage as soon as he was born. When the Crawford family finally found him, his father passedaway.
Allison was not a good mother. She only fought for power and did not care about Luke.
However, his talent, as well as his intelligence, was discovered from the moment he returned to theCrawford family.
His father passed away and Old Master Crawford trained him to be the heir. He was very strict with himand was a lot more relaxed with Louis.
From an early age, while Louis was playing games, Luke was learning.novelbin
Susan thought that Old Master Crawford was biased. He only cared about training Luke as hissuccessor while he ignored Louis.
However, Old Master Crawford could tell that Luke envied Louis. Luke was used to the conflicts in theorphanage when he was a child, so he did not know how to communicate with others. He would silentlycomplete the tasks assigned to him by the adults.
Therefore, Old Master Crawford appreciated his calm temperament and continued to cultivate him asthe heir.
Louis had a much happier childhood compared to Luke.
"The young master's life was a little tough but things got better after he returned to the Crawfordfamily." The butler continued the conversation. After all, after Luke returned to the Crawford family, helived a life without worry.
"Do you think that children would be happier playing or learning?” Old Master Crawford asked. Thebutler had served the Crawford family for so many years, and he had witnessed how Luke grew up.
The butler was stunned. He suddenly understood what Old Master Crawford meant when he said thatLuke had lived a hard life.
Even after returning to the Crawford family, he would study endlessly and participate in various classesall day long. He had no time for entertainment such as cartoons. He could not maintain relationshipswith his classmates either.
Even though he lived a life without worries, his tiny body still carried a heavy responsibility on hisshoulder. He was crowned an heir since he was a child. He never had an easy day.
The butler saw Old Master Crawford finish the tea in his cup and poured him another cup. "YoungMaster Luke has the ability. He's the best candidate."
Luke's father passed away just as Old Master Crawford was about to hand T Corporation to him.
That was why Old Master Crawford was eager to train a new heir. He planned to hand T Corporation toLuke right after he graduated and then retire. As such, Luke was forced to go through high-intensitylessons every day.
When he was young, in addition to studying textbooks, there were also various training classes andinterest classes that he had to attend. When he was growing up, in addition to studying, he alsobecame an intern at T Corporation. He started from the bottom and slowly learned how to manage andoperate a company.
"If his father hadn't passed, things might be different now." Old Master Crawford thought of the past andpresent.
Luke finally fell in love with a woman but it was unfortunate that they were not sure if she was still alive.Luke had not given up even after there was no news for many years.
Old Master Crawford sometimes thought that his grandson was amazing.
Even more amazing than he, who was self-made.
However, he lived a tough life.
"Old Master Crawford, they're destined to live their lives. You don't have to worry so much. The doctorsaid that you should keep a relaxed state of mind so that your body can get better.” The butlerreminded him.
Old Master Crawford nodded and asked, "Has the Young Master returned?"
"Not yet."
"Call him and get him to come back. Tell him that Ms. Craw is here." Old Master Crawford ordered.
"Okay." The butler nodded, stood up, and walked out.
