Female Novel
Chapter 2731
After a while, the three kids followed Aunt Neile downstairs.
Meanwhile, Luca was serving breakfast.
“Good morning, Ms. Luca," the three kids greeted her at the same time.
“Good morning. Come and have breakfast." Luca was all smiles as seeing the children put her in agood mood.
The children cheered and walked to the dining table to eat with her.
After Tommy sat down, he noticed that there were no cutleries at Luke's seat, so he asked, “Ms. Luca,is Daddy eating upstairs?"
“Yes, he has a lot of work to do." Luca nodded. She could not help but feel bad after recalling the thickstack of folders.
Luke was having a hard time, yet there was nothing she could do to help. Instead, she was causing himmore trouble.
Luca recalled what happened yesterday. She was not wrong for firing Ambrose, nor did she doanything to wrong him.
Terminations like these happened every day in this city.
Hiring and firing...
Yet, she had never seen anyone splash acid on their boss for firing them.
That was what Ambrose did.
Luca was in disbelief that someone who was as calm and diligent as him would do such a thing.
“Ms. Luca, what are you thinking about?" Luca was not responding to Tommy's words, so he waved hislittle hands in front of her eyes.
Then, Luca came back to her senses and smiled. “I was thinking about work. What's the matter?"
“Nothing. You're just like Daddy, working non-stop even after you're home." Tommy pouted and thoughtabout how both his parents were workaholics and his brother was a bookworm. The only normal onesat home were him and Rainie.
Luca saw the puzzled look on the child's face and patted his head.
“Ms. Luca, Uncle Louis is moving in today, so my brothers and I made some gifts. Can we give them toUncle Louis?" Asked Rainie.
When the adults were busy, the three of them started preparing these handmade gifts after finishingtheir homework.
Although the adults would have gifts prepared, Louis often looked after Lanie and Rainie when theywere younger, so they wanted to make some little gifts as a token of appreciation.
“Of course, your uncle would be very happy to receive them." Luca was surprised that the children hadprepared other gifts.
"Yup, I remember Uncle Louis saying he loved my handicrafts! Uncle Louis has been living in CrawfordManor for so long, and he finally moved out, so Lanie and I decided to make him some handicrafts."Lanie nodded endearingly. Although she was all grown up now, she still remembered being held inLouis' arms. She also remembered him wondering when he could move out and not be under thecontrol of Old Master Crawford and Susan.
After so many years, Louis was finally able to move out of Crawford Manor.
"I helped too!" Tommy raised his hands and said. After having Thea, Louis put all his effort into her.However, Tommy still liked Uncle Louis very much, just like Lanie and Rainie.
"All of you did a great job." Luca gave them a thumbs up. The fact that the children would do such athoughtful thing meant that they grew up in a positive environment.
She was relieved that the kids were not too traumatized when she was kidnapped by the Island ofDespair.
Aunt Neile came over with a plate of fruits and smiled when she heard their conversation. "Right, theyoung masters and Ms. Rainie have been secretly preparing the gift for several nights. They made itwhen you and Mr. Crawford couldn't come home early, and they prepared the surprise for Uncle Louissecretly because they were afraid of both of you finding out."
Luca looked at the children and smiled. Everything they did was out of kindness, which gave them, thebusy adults, a pleasant surprise too.
"So, have you wrapped your gift yet?" she asked.
"It's already wrapped, and it's in my bedroom," said Rainie.
"Great!" Luca gave her another thumbs up.
After breakfast, the kids went back upstairs to play games instead of watching cartoons.
Luca took the chessboard downstairs as she was worried about disturbing Luke while he was working."Let's play here, alright?"
"Alright!" The three kids agreed.
Luca sat aside to watch the three of them play, and she felt all warm inside at the thought of Luke, whowas working upstairs.
What a wonderful weekend. If only Nyla were here.
Her three older siblings would take good care of her, pamper her, and treat her like a princess.
Luca was depressed at the thought of her youngest daughter, and she had no idea how she was doingon the Island of Despair. Eler was there looking after her, but she could not stop worrying as she was inthe hands of Abel, and he might do something that could negatively affect the child at any time.
The children played until noon, and she was there with them the entire time.
Aunt Neile came over and reminded her, "Ms. Craw, it's noon, so you should go change."
Luca was wearing casual clothes right now, and it would be inappropriate for her to wear that to Louis'housewarming party.
"Alright." Luca glanced at the time and said to the kids, “Come on, you need to change too."
"Alright!" the kids said in unison.
Luca led them upstairs and glanced at Luke, who was still busy working. She went into each of theirbedrooms to pick an outfit for them to wear to the housewarming party.
Then, she went back to the master bedroom and chose a simple long dress. After putting it on, she satin front of the dressing table and put on light makeup.
Luke pushed the door open and walked in. He saw her filling in her eyebrows in front of the mirror andwalked over before placing his hands on her shoulder. Then, he bent down to kiss her on the cheek.
Luca's hand trembled a little bit as Luke's sudden kiss almost made her ruin her eyebrows.
"Luke..." Her cheeks were flushed, and her voice was delicate.
"It was too tempting, and I just couldn't resist." Luke chuckled. Seeing her reaction after his surprisekiss expanded the joy in his heart.
"You almost made my eyebrows crooked.." Luca seemed as if she were complaining, but she was notmad about it.
"Looks good to me," Luke looked at her closely in the mirror and joked.
Luca shook her head without explaining to him what she actually meant.
She did not usually wear makeup, so she was not that skilled. If she started off with light makeup, itwas less likely for her to end up looking like a disaster.
If she had used more strength when drawing her eyebrows just now, it would have left an obviousmark.novelbin
Luca continued tracing the shape of her eyebrows in the mirror.
"You look beautiful without makeup too," said Luke. It was not just words of flattery; it was the truth.
