Female Novel
Chapter 1824
After comforting Queenie's emotions, Jack then gave Luke a call.
When the call was connected, Jack did not say any greetings but questioned immediately, "Luke, doyou have time to spare right now?"
"I'm still working overtime, Jack. Is there something urgent?" Luke asked. He knew why Jack wasgiving him a call. Perhaps he could no longer keep Bianca’s matter a secret.
Keeping it a secret from them was just a temporary measure and Luke had never planned on lettingthem remain in the dark for too long.
If Jack was easily fooled, he would not have his current achievements.
"You're still working?" Jack's voice deepened, and he could not help but drag his tone. He knew verywell about T Corporation’s latest project. "Then when will you be free? I plan to talk to you aboutBianca."
"I’ll head to your office and pay a visit to you tomorrow,” Luke said.
Jack was caught by surprise. Not only did Luke not reject but he even agreed. He even made anappointment for the next day.
"Alright. I'll wait for your arrival tomorrow." Jack agreed as well.
After hanging up the call, Luke placed his phone aside and tidied up the documents.
Looking at the time, Luca was probably preparing dinner now.
Despite being busy, he would not miss mealtimes as long as it was Luca preparing the food. However,that was only if time permitted it, of course.
Hence, no matter how busy he was, he would still tidy up the documents and head back home on time.He would leave work matters till after dinner. He would do anything to have dinner with Luca.
Regarding Jack wanting to meet up with him to talk, Luke was not the slightest bit bothered about it. Ifhe could not continue to keep this secret, he would just reveal the truth. After all, he still had two DNAtest reports which were kept in a safety deposit box.
One of them was the DNA test report of the fake Bianca while the other was the DNA test report ofLuca and the kids.
Even if Jack learned the truth, it would not disrupt Luke’s investigation. Instead, it might end up helpinghim.
The reason he never revealed the truth before this was because Bianca's father was also his father-inlaw. He did not wish for his in-laws to be too worried about it.
After Luke tidied up the documents, he got up and left the office.
He drove his car to the villa. When he was approaching the living room, he heard the cheerful voices ofthe kids and the faint aroma of the food.
Such a life was lovely and happy.
He had dreamt of such dreams when he lost Bianca. He dreamt that after coming back home fromwork, the kids would surround him while Bianca busied herself in the kitchen preparing food for all ofthem.
Whenever he dreamt of such scenes, he would not be willing to wake up. He never expected that hestill had the chance to enjoy a life like this.
The moment he stepped into the living room, Rainie came running over, "You're back, Daddy."
"Yes, I'm back. Are you done with your homework?" Luke looked at his daughter. Daughters wouldoften be close to their fathers, and that saying was accurate. Whenever he was back from work, Rainiewould always be the first to come and greet him if she was in the living room.
"We've done our homework. Tommy got one question wrong but Lanie already taught him the correctanswered," Rainie said.
Luke nodded.
Rainie looked in the direction of the kitchen and reminded softly. "Oh, right. Daddy, Godmother is here."
"I know." Luke brought the documents upstairs and came back down. At that moment, the childrenwere all already sitting at the dining table.
Rainie waved her hand and called out, "Daddy, Ms. Luca and Godmother have already prepareddinner. Come and eat."
Luke went over and sat on his seat.
Nina held the cutleries and looked at Luke's seat. It was the seat that usually belonged to the host. Shethen turned to look at Luca, who was getting food for the kids.
She was very kind to Bianca's kids. At the very least, that was what she saw.
Besides, the kids had expressed that they liked her. Hence, that proved that Luca treated them wellbehind the scenes as well. Otherwise, Rainie and Lanie, who were already so grown, wouldn't havefailed to notice if Luca was just putting on an act.
Luca meticulously got food for each of the kids, then picked up Luke's plate. She got him some food aswell before placing it back in front of him.
"Thanks." Luke expressed his gratitude.
Nina heard it and could not help but sight. "I really envy you, Mr. Crawford."novelbin
Listening to her tone, Luke knew immediately that she was feeling sorry for Bianca. However, this time,she was not causing Luca any trouble but was blaming herself instead. Perhaps she had accepted thereality.
However, she would still have the thought of causing trouble.
Luke's expression remained composed as he asked, "Why is that so?"
"You have such a capable employee like Luca when you're in the office. When you're back home, Lucaprepares a table full of delicacies to serve you. Tell me, how can I not be envious of you?" Nina teased.She could no longer hold back the moment she saw Luca serving Luke dinner.
'It's not that Luke has no hands to do it himself...'
According to Luca, even though they were currently staying together, they had never flirted with eachother and their relationship remained innocent.
They were just like housemates.
However, to have Luca prepare dinner and even serve him his meal, Luca would only look like a nannyif she was neither his wife nor his girlfriend.
Hence, Nina was not used to such a scene.
"You should," Luke just answered simply before picking up his cutleries to start eating.
Nina did not expect him to say such bold things.
"Then shouldn't you be giving Luca three salaries?" She started provoking the man who was sitting atthe seat belonging to the host.
Luke paused when he was in the middle of picking up some food.
Luca quickly served Nina a bowl of chicken soup. "That's enough, Nina. Come and have some chickensoup. Didn't you want to drink this soup so badly?"
Nina looked at her. "You have to prepare meals, do translation work, and even research drugs. It's onlylogical that Mr. Crawford gives you three salaries, right?”
"Yes." Luke picked up a piece of fillet and placed it onto Rainie's plate. He filled the other two kids'plates with dishes as well. "I'll have the finance department handle it tomorrow."
"No need for that, Mr. Crawford. It's not a hassle to prepare meals... As for the translation work, Mr.Doyle has already spoken to the financial department about it." Luca was very embarrassed.
She took care of Luke and the kids of her own volition, not because she felt forced to do it.
Luca knew that Nina was mad at Luke's attitude of doing nothing but only waiting to be served.However, she was strongly opposed to him paying her for this.
Nina, who was sitting at the side, did not expect Luke to agree easily. That was not her initial intention.She cleared her throat and said, "Actually, Luca is not a nanny. Won't it be better if she's in charge ofpreparing meals and you wash the dishes after meals?”
