Female Novel
Chapter 3050
Tommy saw the interaction between the adults and could not help but mutter, "Is Daddy jealous?"
Rainie picked up his younger brother’s favorite meatball and said in a soft voice, "We kids should stay
out of the adults' matters."
"Oh, but Daddy really does look jealous," added Tommy.
As Luke listened to the two kids’ conversation, he gently placed his hand on his forehead. He realized
that what he had just done indeed seemed like jealousy. That was why the kids said something like
that...
It was embarrassing.
He failed to suppress his sour mood in front of everyone.
Old Master Crawford let out a chuckle and said nothing.
Luke felt even more embarrassed when he heard the old master chuckling.
After dinner, Old Master Crawford had no intention of leaving. He wanted to chat with the kids and
watch TV for a while.
Before he could call the driver, it suddenly started pouring rain outside.
Luca pushed open the window and glanced outside. The rain pelted onto her face due to the strong
wind.
"It was just gloomy during the day. Why did it start raining at night?" Luca could not help but wonder.
Luke looked out the window, closed it for her, and said, "The weather forecast predicted rain for today."
"With the rain coming down so hard, it's not safe for Old Master Crawford to go back now..." said Luca.
Also, the driver was not waiting at the villa, so it would be troublesome to call him over.
"Why don’t we let Old Master Crawford spend the night here?" suggested Luca. Luke could use his
study as a bedroom for Old Master Crawford. As for Mr. Griffin, he would have to settle for the maid's
room
"Let me talk to Grandpa," replied Luke as he planted a kiss on her cheek.
"There are so many people around. Don't do this." Luca's face blushed a little. She glanced back to
look around since there were so many people in the house.
Fortunately, Old Master Crawford and others were focused on the TV. Even though it was a cartoon
show, they enjoyed watching the show with the kids.
Hence, no one noticed them.
Luca let out a sigh of relief, feeling thankful that they had not been noticed. She walked toward them
and handed a cup of tea to Old Master Crawford. "Old Master Crawford, it's pouring outside."
"Hmm? Oh, it's raining heavily." Old Master Crawford did not pay much attention to the weather
outside.
Luke suggested, "Grandpa, why don't you stay here tonight?"
"Do you have enough bedrooms?” asked Old Master Crawford. There were many bedrooms in the
villa. However, with Luke and Luca's children, and their guest Nina, the old master was concerned that
there might not be enough space.
After all, he was not alone. Mr. Griffin was here too.
Even though Louis' house was just next door, Old Master Crawford had no intention of staying there.
Susan was the only one living in the villa now. He was not planning to head there as he would be
subjected to her nonsense.
“I'd rather head back home if you want me to spend the night at Louis' place.”
"There are enough rooms. It'll just be a temporary inconvenience for Mr. Griffin as he'd have to stay in
the maid's room tonight. Aunt Neile never slept here before. The maid's room is well-kept." Luca
understood why Old Master Crawford was reluctant to go to Louis' house.
After all, the old master had come over to avoid Susan. If he went there, it would be torment for him.
"I'm fine with that. Are you okay with it?" Old Master Crawford looked up at the butler.
"No problem, sir," replied Mr. Griffin. He was fine with staying anywhere, and the place here was well-
kept. He believed the environment in the maid's room would not be messy.
Old Master Crawford nodded. "Alright, then there's no need to bother the driver to come over in this
heavy rain. It's not safe to drive in this weather."
Luke agreed too. He nodded and said, "I'll go tidy up the bedroom for you."
"Let me do it. You're still busy, aren't you?" Luca rose to her feet when she heard that. Then, she
reminded the kids, "Go upstairs and get ready for bed after you finish watching the cartoon. There's an
enrichment class tomorrow."
"Okay, Ms. Luca," the three kids replied in unison.
Luca made her way up the stairs.
Nina, after a moment's thought, followed her and said, "Luca, let me help you."
"It's okay. Just hang out downstairs. I can handle it myself." Setting up a guest room for Old Master
Crawford was not a difficult task.
Old Master Crawford could be considered the least picky in the Crawford family.
After all, he had faced many hardships when he was young, and the resilience built during those tough
times had not changed despite the improved circumstances.
As he often said, as long as he had a bed and blanket, it did not matter where he slept.
People from that era had endured a lot.
Old Master Crawford was fortunate to have carved a path for himself through hard work in those times,
improving the lives of himself and his descendants.
However, not everyone had the same luck or courage. Even in old age, some could not enjoy a good
lifenovelbin
due to a lack of both.
Luca suddenly thought of her own grandfather.
Even though Old Man Rayne now lived comfortably, he had also faced numerous hardships in the past.
Despite his son not being around anymore, they were there for him, making his days better.
At the thought of it, Luca decided that after dropping off the kids at their enrichment class tomorrow,
she would visit him in the hospital.
To keep Old Man Rayne's emotions stable, they had not told him that her true identity was Bianca.
She was afraid that learning the truth would overly excite him and affect his health.
"I'll feel awkward downstairs if you're not around." Nina smiled, revealing her true feelings.
After all, in Nina's eyes, Old Master Crawford was a serious figure.
Chatting with such a serious elder imposed psychological pressure on her. Even though he considered
her his goddaughter, the pressure remained, so she wanted to help Luca.
Luca had no choice but to agree when she heard what Nina said.
Luca entered the bedroom, glanced at the bed covers, and told Nina, "Nina, please change the old
ones first. It's better to have fresh ones although they haven't been used."
"Sure." Nina started to take off the bed covers and pillowcases.
Luca took out a set of washed sheets from the wardrobe.
Aunt Neile would keep spare sheets in a separate section of the wardrobe, as she had told Luca. This
way, it would not be hard to find them when needed.
Even if these sheets had not been used, she regularly took them out to bask in the sun.
Luca got closer and sniffed the sheets. The spare sheets carried the faint scent of laundry detergent
and sunshine.
"Aunt Neile just washed these a couple of days ago..."
Nina, who was beside her, asked, "Where should I put these?"
"Put them in the washing machine later. Aunt Neile will take care of them when she sees them
tomorrow,” replied Luca, assigning this task to Aunt Neile.
If she did it herself, Aunt Neile might feel uneasy and try to find something else to do.
"Alright. Here, give me the pillowcases." Nina asked for the pillowcases.
Luca handed over the pillowcases, and she began helping by spreading the sheets.
The two worked together. It only took a while for them to prepare a well-made bed.
After that, Luca took out two sets of unworn pajamas from Luke's closet. As she looked at the pajamas,
she hesitated for a moment.
