Female Novel
Chapter 1680
"You know about prison?" Luca looked at Rainie's expression with a gentle gaze. With considerationthat Luke was still sleeping in the master bedroom, she spoke to her in a soft voice.
"Yes. Daddy said that those who did something wrong will go to prison to reform themselves. Grandmadid something wrong and was put in prison so we haven't been able to see her for the time being."Rainie's voice was soft. She seemed to be familiar with the concept.
Luca was stunned. She did not expect a child to know so much.
That was understandable. She was not around when they were young, so the role of a grandmotheroccupied a certain position and weight with the twins.
Even if Allison took no notice of them after they grew up, they still remembered her as a grandmotherwho loved them.novelbin
Luke would surely give them an explanation following her sudden disappearance after she went toprison.
However, Luca did not expect that he would be entirely honest and not make up any excuses forAllison.
"Yeah, your grandma has rehabilitated, so she's going home to reunite with you." Luca smiled slightlyas she soothed Rainie's emotions. She guessed that Rainie had not seen Allison for too long and wasanxious when she found out that she was returning home.
After all, when they were in Crawford Manor, there were a lot of wars caused by Allison.
"But Ms. Luca, Grandma Susan said that Grandma Allison has become very scary now. I'm scared."Rainie's memories of Allison had already become blurry. Besides, after Allison moved out of the manor,the two had little contact.
That was why she got scared when she heard Susan talking about Allison.
When she heard what Rainie shared, Luca understood that the child was afraid and that was why shewas emotional.
She thought of Allison's face and knew that the kids would be afraid when they saw her. Rainie was agirl, so she would be even more afraid. She coaxed her and said, "Don't be afraid. Her appearance haschanged a little but no matter how she changes, she's still your grandmother. Isn't that so?”
"Yes... Ms. Luca, why did Grandma's face become scary? Is it because she did a lot of wrong things?"Rainie asked. She once read a fairy tale in which the witch looked terrible because she did a lot of badthings.
Luca looked at the child's frightened expression and sighed. Even though she was preparing Rainie, itwould take a long time for Rainie to get used to Allison's face after she returned.
"No. Your grandmother is sick, and that's why she became like that. Rainie, you don't have to be afraid.No matter what your grandmother becomes, she's still your most respected grandma. No matter whathappens, she still loves you the most, okay?" She coaxed Rainie.
Rainie nodded. She understood what Luca said.
No matter what her grandmother became or looked like, she would never hurt her—just like theirMommy. Even though Luca had changed her appearance, she was still staying by their side to protectthem.
Therefore, their Grandma loved them just like their Mommy.
Luca saw Rainie nodding, and the anxiety in her eyes dissipated a little. She glanced at the time andfound that it was getting late. Rainie should be in bed by now.
She said, "Rainie, don't worry. I'm here. Whatever happens in the future, I'll do my best to protect you."
"Thank you, Ms. Luca." Rainie smiled sweetly. She felt safe when her mommy said that she wouldprotect her...
"Don't worry about it. It's late. Little Princess Rainie should go to rest." Luca coaxed her again.
Rainie nodded and asked, "Ms. Luca, can I add you on Facebook? I used Tommy's tablet to call youthis time."
"Of course, you can," Luca said. She knew that Luke had registered Facebook accounts for thechildren. It was convenient, and they could reach out to him through Facebook if something happened."I'll add you. "
"Okay, Ms. Luca." Rainie picked up her tablet, and when she saw Luca's friend request, she cautiouslyaccepted it.
When she saw that they were officially friends on Facebook, her smile was broad and sweet. Sheasked, "Ms. Luca, is Dad with you..."
Luca was stunned at how she knew about it. "No..."
Before she completely denied it, Rainie said, "Ms. Luca, you don't have to deny it. We all know thatDad is with you now."
"How do you know?" Luca asked helplessly. Luke was not the kind of person who reported to thechildren wherever he went and what he did.
After she was kidnapped, he took the kids back to Crawford Manor because there were many adultsthere—including many maids and butlers who could take care of the kids. The arrangement made himfeel more at ease while he was at work.
"Daddy said that he's going to be busy recently. To save time, he may not come home sometimes.Tommy was worried that Daddy would not rest well and Daddy told him that he would rest at Ms. Luca'shouse. Ms. Luca, is Daddy asleep?" Rainie explained.
"Your daddy drank a little today so he's already in bed," Luca said helplessly. She was surprised that heexplained all that to the kids. Was he not afraid that they would misunderstand the situation?
Although she had not spent much time with the children, she could feel how much they missed theirmother.
They missed their mother so much, so how could they accept their father spending time with otherwomen?
Luca carefully observed Rainie's expression. She was just smiling, and nothing seemed off about her.Although she was their mother, she was almost certain that they had no idea. 'Does it mean that theydon't object to Luke spending more time with me?' Luca could not figure it out...
Rainie nodded when she heard Luca's reply. Her father was resting, so she did not continue with thetopic. Instead, she said, "Ms. Luca, can you sing?"
"I don't sing well..." Luca said.
Rainie looked at her face and wondered in her heart. Their mommy was great at singing, and her voicewas beautiful. When her mother used to sing nursery rhymes to her, she would have a sweet dreamwhenever she fell asleep.
"Ms. Luca, I want to hear you sing nursery rhymes. Can you sing me to sleep?" She made a request.
Luca was a little embarrassed but thought of Rainie's terrified expression. Rainie was timid. If no onecoaxed her to sleep, Luca was afraid that it would be difficult for her to fall asleep. Even if Rainie
managed to fall asleep, her fear would manifest into a nightmare.
"Okay, I'm not skilled and my singing is mediocre. Don't mind me," Luca blinked and said to Rainie.
"Ms. Luca, your voice is so gentle. I'm sure you're great at singing." Rainie did not agree with her wordsand said with a smile.
Luca shook her head helplessly. "Okay. Go to bed and put the tablet by the head of the bed. Tuckyourself in and I'll sing to you."
Rainie lay on the bed and covered herself with the blanket as Luca instructed.
"Rainie, put the tablet beside your face or I wouldn't know if you've fallen asleep." Luca urged her.
