Female Novel
Chapter 2254
At night.
Luke had nothing planned for the day, so he returned to the villa after he left the office.
As soon as he walked into the house, the children surrounded him and handed him their homework."Daddy, we've finished our homework."
Luke took their workbooks. He did not see Luca in the living room, so he asked the kids, "Where's Ms.Luca?"
Rainie replied obediently, "Ms. Luca is in the kitchen preparing dinner. Aunt Neile asked for some timeoff and just left, so Ms. Luca is busy cooking alone. Daddy, after you're done checking our homework,go and help Ms. Luca."
Luke put their workbooks down. "I'll go take a look."
He walked into the kitchen and saw Luca in an apron preparing dinner for the family. It reminded him ofhow she was always in the kitchen preparing dinner for him and the children three years ago.
At that time, Luca would never let the maid cook since the children liked to eat the meals she prepared.At most, she would let the maid become her helper.
"Stop it," Luke said softly when he saw how busy she was.
Luca was startled by the sudden sound and turned back while holding a spatula. 'It's him...'
She was so immersed in cooking that she did not notice how long Luke had been standing at the door.
"Mr. Crawford?" She looked at the man with some confusion.
"Why isn't Aunt Neile here?" Luke asked in a hoarse voice. A few years ago, he could still hold herwhen she was in an apron whenever he wanted. He would keep annoying her so that they could spendmore time together.
"Aunt Neile's grandson is sick, and the adults can't take care of her, so she asked for a day off," Lucasaid. Aunt Neile was a responsible woman. Even when her grandchild was sick, she waited until Lucareturned and could take care of Lanie and the others before she asked to take some time off.
As such, she told Warren to turn around and send Aunt Neile home.
"Let's go out for dinner," Luke said. He could not bear for Luca to overtire herself as she had beenworking in the company during the day. Now, she had to prepare dinner for the family.
"I'm almost done," Luca said. She did not forget to open the lid and put some vegetables into thenoodles.
Luke smelled the aroma of the noodles, and his appetite was whet. He could not wait to taste thenoodles.
"Forget it. The next time Aunt Neile asks for leave, let's go out to eat. It's tiring for you to prepare dinneralone," he said and let her continue to prepare dinner.
Luca picked up the utensil and stirred the noodles. 'Is he... worried about me?'
She did not feel tired preparing dinner for him and the kids. However, she got off work a little late anddecided to cook something simple because she was afraid that the kids would be starving.
"Mm, we can eat dinner soon. By the way, Lanie and the others should have finished their homework..."
Luke felt a sense of happiness in his heart as he listened to her babble. He thought that even if he werean ordinary and poor office worker, he would live a life full of joy even as long as he had her as his wife
like Luca.
"I'm going to check their work now." With that, he returned to the living room.
Luca smiled. 'What a great life..'
She brought the five bowls of hot noodles to the table. Before she could tell the children that dinner wasready, Tommy ran in and exclaimed, "Ms. Luca, are we eating noodles tonight?"
"Yeah." Luca turned around and walked into the kitchen to bring out the two side dishes she prepared.She put them on the table, and a scrumptious dinner was ready.
"It smells delicious, I love noodles prepared by Ms. Luca!" Tommy sat on the chair and looked asthough he was waiting to dig in.
Luca smiled and said, "Come, this is yours. You must finish this big bowl of noodles."
Tommy held the insulated bowl and did not think that the noodles were hot. He picked up his utensilsand said, "The teacher said it's a shame to waste food, so I promise that I'll finish it."
Lanie walked in and heard what his brother said. He teased him, "You're the most gluttonous out of usthree. You'll definitely be able to finish it."
"Lanie, am I not your brother?" Tommy pouted and said, "Why do you keep making fun of me?"
"You're a glutton, a little piggy." Lanie pinched Tommy's chubby hand and sat down on the chair.
"Hmph, Lanie is a meanie." Tommy glanced at Luca and wanted her to stand up for him.
Luca smiled and placed two plates of meat dishes in front of them. The children liked meat dishes,while she and Luke preferred vegetables.novelbin
Luke walked into the dining room as well.
When she saw him, Luca put the largest bowl on his usual spot and placed another bowl of noodles ina heat-insulated bowl in front of Rainie. The last bowl was for her. "I didn't have much time to preparedinner today, so I made something simple for us."
"Ms. Luca, the noodles are delicious." Rainie took a small bite. There was a little soup on her tiny butshiny mouth. She continued to eat after she said that.
Luke also praised, "It's delicious."
Luca's gaze turned to Lanie, who was also eating fast. Although he did not say anything. His actionsalready explained everything.
The happiness in her heart could not help but spread.
Luke's phone rang when they were about to finish eating.
He glanced at it and walked out with his phone in hand.
After a while, he returned and said to Luca after he sat down, "I'll be out later."
"Okay." Luca did not ask him where he was going. After all, she was not in the position to ask.
Luke telling her that he was going out was beyond the scope of her identity.
Luke picked up the utensils and said, "They found Dexter Shaw."
"They found him? That's so fast..." Luca was surprised. Luke only offered to help find Dexter yesterdayand he found him the very next day. The speed was impressive.
After all, Dexter was homeless. It was sometimes easier to find a normal person compared to ahomeless man.
The homeless did not live in a fixed place. Luke's men worked so fast that Luca could not help butwonder if Dexter had been imprisoned by Luke all this time.
However, it did not seem possible.
Dexter posed no value to Luke, and he was related to Leia. Luke was disgusted with anyone who wasinvolved with Leia. He would not imprison Dexter. After all, it came with no benefits for him to do so.
"He's been in a homeless shelter. We found him as soon as we started looking," Luke said.
After Dexter destroyed Leia, he knew that he could never get another penny from Leia. Hence, he kepthis tail between his legs.
The homeless welfare was getting better and better, so Dexter simply kept the money she gave himand went to a shelter. There would be a roof over his head and free meals.
Luca nodded.
After they were done with dinner, Luke told the children to stay home and be good before he left in ahurry.
Luca stacked all the documents Luke brought back and planned to take them upstairs after he left.
Lanie, who was on the side, asked, "Ms. Luca, who's Dexter Shaw?"
Luca sat on the sofa, put the documents on the coffee table, and answered Lanie's question, "He's youraunt's biological father."
