Female Novel
Chapter 1565
When Luke's phone rang, he was looking at a man who was talking while pinching his throat.
The phone vibrated. He stood up and walked to the balcony to answer it. "Hello."
"Young Master Luke, when will you be back?" The butler's voice entered his ears.
Luke glanced at the situation in the living room and said, "Don't wait for me to have lunch. I havesomething to do today."
"Is that so? Ms. Craw is here. Are you sure you can't come back?" the butler asked.
"Luca?" Luke frowned and lowered his voice. "Why is she in Crawford Manor?"
Based on what he knew about Luca's temperament, she would not visit at random.
"Old Master Crawford invited her. He thinks that Ms. Craw has helped a lot, so he specially invited herto be a guest," the butler replied. Even though he was not with Luke in person, judging from the changein his voice and tone, he seemed very unhappy that Luca was visiting the Crawford family.novelbin
"I can't go back until this afternoon. Please help me entertain her while I’m gone," Luke said. He couldnot leave at that moment.
The voice imitator that Percy Mallory hired on his behalf was already familiar with the fake Bianca'svoice, so he asked him to come over and give it a listen. He heard it, and the other party, Jax, did awonderful job of imitating her voice. It was not only the same voice but also in the same tone.
Jax was now talking to Queenie.
Queenie had not heard the fake Bianca's voice for a long time, so she naturally wanted to talk to 'her'for a while longer.
"Okay." The butler realized that Luke had something important to deal with so he did not say anythingmore.
After Luke hung up, he returned to the living room. Meanwhile, Jax was still talking to Queenie.
After Luke gestured to him to stop, Jax glanced at his phone, made an excuse, and hung up onQueenie.
Percy applauded him. "I didn't expect you to be able to imitate any sound. You did it so quickly too.That's amazing!"
"Fortunately, her voice is hoarse enough. Otherwise, it would've been difficult to imitate," Jax said.Queenie talked about a lot of random daily life topics with him. For the most part, she asked 'her' totake care of herself.
They did not talk much about what had happened in the past, so he could deal with it easily.
"I found someone amazing for this, right?" Percy raised his chin toward Luke. He had an interest inmeeting useful people like Jax.
"Amazing." Luke was not stingy with his praise, and Jax was indeed of great assistance.
After Jax said he could imitate Bianca's voice, Luke went over and used computer software to create avirtual transoceanic number for Jax to chat with Queenie.
"By the way, your mother-in-law told me to pay more attention to you and try to get back to A City forthe new year," Jax said. He did not put the call on loudspeaker as he wanted to ensure that his wordswould get through.
Luke understood why Queenie said that and nodded.
"I said that I've been checking up on you regularly and I have to see if I can come back for the newyear," Jax said.
"Mm, just tell her that you can't come back," Luke said. He did not have a fake Bianca to work with him,so he told Jax to turn her down on the next call.
Percy held and swayed the glass of red wine in his hand. After he heard what Jax said, he could nothelp but tease Luke. "Have you been cheating? Were you found out by someone?"
"No." Luke sat on the sofa and held up his glass. He was going to have dinner with the two of themlater. He could not turn them down because they had done him a favor.
"Then why would your mother-in-law ask her daughter to pay more attention to you? Isn't that anobvious reminder?" Percy grinned and continued to tease him.
Luke's expression did not change in the slightest. He said indifferently, "She doesn't know anything.""Yeah, so what does she know?" Percy did not intend to be brushed off like this.
Luke glanced at his friend and reminded him. "You have so much energy to check in on me but haveyou dealt with Nina? And that Johnston girl. Oh yes, and your brother. He seems to be very interestedin Nina."
"Luke, you're doing it on purpose, aren't you? Stop picking the kettle that's not boiling." Percy's moodturned sour at the mention of Nina. The matter with the Johnston family was about to be resolved butNina never gave him a chance to explain and refused to see him.
It was obvious that the apartment she was living in belonged to him but he did not even have thechance to meet her. The tenderness she had toward him before was ruthlessly abandoned. He wasangry whenever the matter was brought up.
Jax looked at the two of them and touched his nose. "Uhm, should I head off?"
"No need."
"No need."
The two who were still taking jabs at each other just now said in unison.
Luke took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Jax. "This is my wife's account. You don't have tocheck the texts every day because I log in fairly frequently. You can check every few days. If youreceive a text from Queenie, just send her a voice note so that she can feel at ease. Pay attention tothe time difference when you reply to her. Make sure that you keep up with a call once a month."
"Got it." Jax was an expert in this. It was easy for him to imitate others.
Seeing that everything was settled, Percy stood up and said, "Let's go downstairs. The maid shouldhave gotten lunch ready. Let's have a good meal and a couple of drinks. Since you don't have to go towork
today, help me taste and comment on the new wine I got."
Luke wanted to turn him down and head back to the manor.
However, when he realized that he wanted to do that because of Luca, he dismissed the idea and wentdownstairs with Percy.
When it was time for lunch, Luca ate with Old Master Crawford and the others. She then went backupstairs with the children.
Susan had not been downstairs all morning so she was not aware of who the woman in front of herwas. After Luca left, she asked, "Who is that woman?"
"It's Ms. Craw. She's the one who saved Young Master Tommy. Old Master Crawford wanted to thankher so he invited her over," the butler replied.
As soon as Susan heard it, she understood what was going on.
The woman who saved Tommy was the woman who was having an affair with Luke. 'She's pretty, butwhy does everything in this family have to do with Luke?'
She could not help but say bitterly, "So what if she saved the child's life? She was rude by goingupstairs with the kids right after lunch. Does she think she owns the place? What's more, Luke still hasa wife. Isn't it appropriate for her to take the children upstairs? People who don't know might think she'srushing to become the kids' stepmother."
