Chapter 2453
"He's completed most of the designs, so you wouldn't be much of a help anyway. Plus, he would needto credit you if you partake in the designing. He wouldn't be that stupid," said Austin
"I just want to learn. I never expected him to credit me in the first place, so don't jump to conclusions."Brian was filled with disgust for him.
He left without looking back.
Austin watched him leave as he spat on the floor. "What is he putting on an act for? He didn't even gainanything from pretending to be polite to Luke for the whole day. Serves him right."
He turned to leave after finishing his words as well
Luke drove back to the Crawford Ancestral Home.
The Crawford Ancestral Home was still brightly lit up, and when they both walked in, Tommy went overto hold their hands. "Daddy, Ms. Luca, you're back!"
"Yeah, have you eaten?" Luca took off her jacket and hung it before patting his head.
Tommy nodded and said, "I've eaten. Have Daddy and Ms. Luca ate yet?"
"Not yet." Luke put the toolbox aside. It was around seven o'clock after they settled everything, whichwas when he usually had dinner.
Upon hearing this, Otto stood up from the sofa and said, "Mr. Crawford, Ms.Craw, I'll make you somefood."
Otto had informed the kitchen to not leave leftovers for them as that was what Luke ordered.
However, the chefs had already gotten off work, so he had to cook.
Luca immediately said, "Mr. Muller, let me do it."
"How could I..." Otto shook his head as mistresses from wealthy families would never enter the kitchen.
"It's okay. I'll do it," said Luca as she released Tommy's hand and walked into the kitchen.
"But.." Otto was at a loss as Luca took the initiative to cook, so he looked at Luke helplessly.
"Let her do it. Are there ingredients in the kitchen?" Luke asked.
Although Luca had had a long day like him, at times when he was most hungry, he wanted to eatsomething Luca made for him.
"Yes, there are."
"I'll go take a look," said Luke as he headed toward the kitchen.
He was exhausted, but so was Luca, so he decided to help her out.
After entering the kitchen, Luke saw Luca holding the ingredients next to the refrigerator. He said,"Should we have pasta?"
Luca turned to look at him, and she nodded. "Sure."
At times like this, it would be easiest to make pasta.
Since Luke was willing to eat pasta, that would be the best option.
She took out the vegetables and protein, as well as a bag of spaghetti, with a simple pasta dish inmind.
"It's ready-made pasta, are you okay with that?"
"Yup, you make the best sauce," said Luke.
Making and kneading pasta dough would take a lot of effort, so to speed things up, ready-made pastawould make things much easier.
The reason why Luca's pasta tasted good was all because of the sauce anyway.
"Then, I'll make bolognese pasta," Luca decided.
"I'll help." Luke picked up the vegetables Luca took out from the refrigerator earlier to wash them.
Luca took it away from him. "Mr. Crawford, let me do it. You can go do other work."
"I don't have anything to do for now," Luke said. She was busy in the kitchen because of him, so hecould not bear to leave her alone.
"Making pasta is an easy task, I'll do it myself. If you really have nothing to do, tidy up the tools in thetoolbox, in case Tommy opens it up to play later," said Luca. Tommy was not that naughty, but the toolsinside were expensive.
In the eyes of an architect, they were not just mere tools as just using the right tools alone was likegetting half the job done.
Even so, Luke did not move an inch.
Luca looked at him as she tried to tell him that making pasta was not tiring, nor would it take up muchtime. "The pasta will be ready to eat in 15 minutes."
Luke had no choice but to nod.
Luca poured water into the pot and turned on the stove. After washing all the vegetables in the sink,she heated up a pan to cook the minced meat.
After leaving the kitchen, Luke asked Tommy, who was reading a book in the living room, "Where arethe others?"
"You mean my brother and sister?" Tommy put his book down and looked at him.
Luke nodded. He did not see the two older kids when he came back.
The three of them were usually inseparable.
"Mr. Percy is teaching them maths upstairs. I couldn't understand, so I came down." Tommy pouted toexpress how upset he was. "The math problem Mr. Percy taught was too difficult, and I haven't learnedit yet, so I couldn't understand a thing."
"Percy is teaching them math?" Luke had an odd look on his face.
Tommy nodded and relayed Percy's words, “Mr. Percy said that he'll tutor his kids himself in the futureand not leave it to the maid like Daddy, so he's practicing with Lanie and Rainie right now."
Luke's face was sullen. How dare Percy used his kids to practice...
The point was that Lanie and Rainie were smart. They did not need tutoring.
Luke picked up the toolbox and headed upstairs.novelbin
Tommy put down his book and shouted, "Daddy, I wanna go too."
The father and son went upstairs together.
Percy was explaining math problems to Lanie and Rainie on the second floor as he drew on ablackboard that he got from who knew where with a piece of chalk.
Rainie and Lanie each had a book in front of them, whereas Nina was on her phone.
If the person in front of the blackboard were not Percy, Luke reckoned that the atmosphere would bemuch more harmonious.
Percy was not cut out for teaching.
Percy heard footsteps while he was teaching, so he looked toward the stairs and saw Luke.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't disturb your kids' class."
"What can you teach them?" Luke placed the toolbox on the stairway and walked toward Lanie andRainie.
"Daddy," Lanie and Rainie called out to him in unison.
"Hey, they don't understand the math problem I'm teaching them right now. Am I supposed to just notteach them?" Percy tossed the chalk aside. He had come up with many ways to entertain the childrenwhile he was looking after them for Luke.
Who knew all they could think about were their parents.
In the end, the only thing that could pique Lanie and Rainie's interest was math problems.
Moreover, he found teaching to be fun too, so he taught them more and more topics.
"They don't understand because they haven't learned it yet." Luke looked at the question on theblackboard. Because he usually checked their homework, he knew at first glance that they had yet tolearn the topic Percy was teaching.
"Isn't this an elementary school topic?" Percy frowned.
Nina pursed her lips and smiled, then she said, "See, I told you that they hadn't learned it yet in theirgrade."
