Female Novel
Chapter 2269
Luca turned around and walked into the kitchen when she remembered that Tommy was cravingcustard tarts yesterday.
Luca took out the defrosted puff pastry that she had taken out yesterday. She made the custard pasteto prepare yummy custard tarts for the kids.
Luca took the custard tarts out and placed two of them on a small plate. Those were for Luke.
Although Luke did not like sweet food, he would always eat everything she made back then. Hence,she handed the small plate to Aunt Neile and said, “Aunt Neile, please bring this upstairs. Then leavethe rest to me. Go and get the child."
"Okay, Ms. Craw. Thank you!" Aunt Neile was delighted. She had already informed Luke and gotten hispermission.
If she went to get her grandson now, her daughter-in-law would not be late for work. That would be forthe best.
Aunt Neile brought the custard tarts upstairs. She knocked on the bedroom door and entered, "Mr.Crawford, these custard tarts were prepared by Ms. Craw. Would you like to have some?"
The nice buttery smell of the custard tarts lightened up a dull morning.
"Put them down," replied Luke.
"Okay, Mr. Crawford." Aunt Neile placed the plate of custard tarts on the table and left the villa in ahurry to pick her grandson up.
Luca had breakfast with the kids downstairs.
"Ms. Luca, why is Daddy so busy lately?" Tommy took a bite of the custard tart he had been cravingand asked Luca.
"Mr. Crawford has always been busy," replied Luca. She took another custard tart and placed it onTommy's plate since Tommy liked it so much.
Luke used to work overtime at night back then. He would only rest after finishing his work. By the timehe finished everything, it was already before dawn.
However, Luke would only work until half past 11 at night these days. He would climb onto the bed andcuddle with her to sleep. He would leave the rest of the documents for the next day.
His break time did not increase or decrease, but his work time had changed.
"Daddy wouldn't wake up early to work back then. He would only work from night time till morning,"Tommy mumbled. He could not help but wonder why after the past few days.
Luca had no idea how to answer him. Hence, she turned to look at Rainie, “Rainie, we'll be receivingthe photos of your performance last time. Where would you like to put them?"novelbin
Luca had taken many photos of Rainie last time. Luca found someone on the internet who wasprofessional in editing photos and asked him to process the photos in batches. Then, she went to theframing shop and framed a few photos.
Rainie exclaimed happily, "Really? Then I'd like to have one in my bedroom. And one on Daddy's desk.Oh, and another one on Ms. Luca's desk!"
"Can I?" Luca was surprised. She had a collection of Rainie's photos, but she was in no position to putRainie's photo on her desk.
"Ms. Luca, you were the one who helped me to take the photos. Of course, you can put it on yourdesk!" Rainie blinked her eyes. The little girl was so attentive. She could sense that it was not becauseLuca was unwilling to do so but she was just being careful.
"Okay. Then I'll put one on my desk too. If they ask me who the girl in the photo is, I'll tell them she's anoutstanding little ballet dancer," Luca smiled. She picked up a custard tart and placed it in front ofRainie. "Have some more."
Tommy immediately raised his hand when he heard her. "Ms. Luca, you'll also have to put my photo onyour desk. Lanie's too. Put our photos on your desk. We're the brothers of a ballet dancer!"
"Okay. I'll put your photos on my desk. Let me take another photo for you after you come back fromschool. Then I'll send it to the shop and print it out, okay?" Luca gave him a bright smile when shelooked at how excited Tommy was.
It felt great to have them as her company.
"That's great!" Tommy nodded and glanced at his brother, Lanie. "Brother, what do you think? Let's putthe photo in our bedroom!"
"Sure," Lanie nodded. There was a trace of excitement on his cool little face.
Luca gave Lanie a gentle smile when she looked at him. Although Lanie looked cool, just like a miniversion of Luke, he was still a child, after all. He longed for the warmth of family too.
Children loved their families.
After breakfast, Luca brought them to Zander's car and watched them leave from behind. Then, sheturned around and walked back into the house.
Luke told her that Leia's surgery was arranged to be performed at nine in the morning. That was whythey did not have to go early.
Leia would be frightened to see him.
Luca could not be bothered that much. Leia did not like her, after all. She went there only to keepQueenie's company.
Queenie would be busy comforting Leia if she went there too early. Luca did not want to see that.
It was not because Luca would feel jealous when Queenie was concerned about Leia. She would feelsorry for her instead.
After all, Queenie was already at the age of waiting for her children to fulfill their filial duties. She wasso worried about Leia that strands of silver hair had started to show up on her head and her wrinkleshad deepened.
Mrs. Norman, who used to be elegant and graceful, had become old and hoary during this time.
Luca refused to see such a scene.
Hence, she was not in a hurry to go there.
