Chapter 2455

He liked Luca's cooking despite being an adult.

Tommy was just a child, so of course, he would like it too.

Luca saw how much he liked it, so she picked up a new spoon and scooped some more into his bowl.

“That's enough for me," said Luke.

“These are the leftovers." Luca considered Luke's large appetite and made a bigger portion speciallyfor him.

A smile appeared on his face while he ate contentedly.

After having two small bowls of pasta, she could not finish the rest.

Luke made sure that she could not eat anymore before he took the bowl and cleaned it off.

Only then did he take a satisfying sip of water from the cup at the side. “This pasta is even better thanthe meal this afternoon."

“Some of the dishes in the restaurant this afternoon were not bad. We should bring the kids there whenwe have the chance." Luca suggested. Brian's recommendation was great, but Luke missed out on anumber of dishes because of his mysophobia.

“Sure," Luke agreed.

He could not miss out on good food, and he wanted to take the kids out to eat too, so there was noreason for him to say no.

After having the pasta, Luca did the dishes.

Luke went upstairs and made use of his time by designing the blueprint for the ancestral hall.

After the New Year, T Corporation would get more projects. If he delayed the work, he would besnowed under.

Luca walked out after doing the dishes and saw that the living room was empty.

She went upstairs and saw that the children were in the second-floor living room playing a puzzlegame. She went over to take a look.

“Ms. Luca, do you want to play with us?" Rainie invited her

Luca shook her head. “You all go ahead. I'll just watch."

“Okay." Rainie turned her head back and continued to play with them.

Luca watched for some time before asking, “Where did Nina go?"

Tommy scrambled to answer, “Ms. Luca, Ms. Nina and Mr. Percy went back to their bedroom."

Luca responded. Since they had gone back to their bedroom, she would not disturb them.

"Ms. Luca, if you're bored, go talk to Daddy," Tommy suggested as adults might feel bored watchingkids play with kid toys.

"Mr. Crawford should be working on the blueprint right now. I'd better not disturb him," said Luca. WhenLuke was designing, it was better for her to not interrupt him.

"Ms. Luca, are you going back to your bedroom tonight, then?" Rainie turned around to look at her.

"I don't know." Luca brushed her bangs aside and sighed. "Rainie, I think your bangs are getting a littletoo long."

"They are." Rainie nodded.

"How about I help you cut your hair tomorrow?" said Luca. The little girl loved having bangs, but herbangs had almost grown to her eyes.

"But Ms. Luca, isn't it said that you can't cut your hair in the first month of the new year?" Rainie alsofelt that the bangs were poking her eyes, but she recalled the old wives' tales she had heard before.

Lanie said, "That's an old wives' tale. What are you afraid of?"

Luca was stunned. He was right.

"Help me cut my hair then, Ms. Luca." Rainie looked toward Luca.

"Okay." Luca nodded and agreed to help the child cut her hair.

She played games with the kids until it was bedtime before walking to the master bedroom.

Luke had been sitting behind his desk and drawing the entire time.

Luca went up to take a look. Although she could not see the full design, she could tell that he haddesigned every corner attentively.

She withdrew her gaze and said softly, "Mr. Crawford, I'll go take a shower."

"Okay." Luke's gaze never left the computer screen.

Luca walked into the bathroom with her pajamas, and not long after, the sound of water splashingcame from the inside.

Luke paused, and the corners of his mouth brimmed with happiness.

Half an hour ago, he was standing at the bedroom door, which was already open. He heard movementin the living room.

Luca's conversation with the children was just like how she used to care for the kids.

The children's moods were also lifted after talking to her.

Luke knew that Luca loved the children. Otherwise, she would not go through so much for them.Everything she did, she would have them in mind.

He had to try harder to make her admit her true identity in front of him and her children soon.

When Luca walked out of the bathroom after showering, Luke had already put away the blueprint andcomputer.

He would typically work until two or three in the morning if he was busy drawing and designing.

Luke stood up and explained, "I'm a bit tired today."

Luca nodded. They did stand for a long time today, so she quickly said, “Hurry up and take a shower,then go to sleep."

"Okay." Luke got his pajamas and walked into the bathroom.

Luca applied skincare products on her face and could not help but overthink when she heard watersounds coming from the bathroom.

When she learned that Abel decided to locate her here to carry out the mission, she did not think thatshe would have such intimate contact with Luke...

The thought of spring almost passing made Luca's anxiousness grow.

Ring, ring. Luke's phone on the desk rang.

Luca walked to the bathroom door and shouted inside, "Mr, Crawford, your phone is ringing."

"Who's calling?" Luke turned the water down a bit and asked.

"I don't know.." Luca did not look at Luke's phone as it held much private and confidential informationlike the company's safe.

"Answer it for me," said Luke.

"Okay.." The phone rang non-stop, so Luca had no choice but to answer. She picked up the phone andglanced at it. It was an unfamiliar number.

She pressed to answer, "Hello?"

"You are.." On the other end of the phone, a woman's voice could be heard.

The other party was hesitant, but Luca could tell who was calling Luke from those two words.

The person on the other end of the phone was Allison.

"Who are you?" Luca pretended not to know and continued to ask.

There was silence from the other end of the phone as if she was checking the phone number. After afew seconds, Allison's voice sounded again. "I should be the one to ask this question. Who are you?What are you doing with my son?"

"..." Luca listened to Allison's arrogant tone and was somewhat helpless.

No matter what she had gone through, Allison still did not know how to give in.

If she had turned over a new leaf and decided to become a good mother, her future would not be sodifficult.

Luke would not have to run away to X City to avoid her.

Luca knew that it was not easy for Luke, so when Allison asked her who she was, she replied, "Mr.Crawford is busy. You're Ms. Tanner, right? He'll call you back later."novelbin

"Oh, I know who you are. You're my son's lover, right?" Allison could finally tell whose voice it was.

She kept thinking that the voice was somewhat similar to Bianca's.

However, her people had told her that after Bianca's throat was slashed, her voice was ruined and hadbecome rather hoarse now.

If she did not know this, she would have thought that the person on the other end of the phone wasBianca.
