Chapter 1351
Chapter 1351 She Liked And Took The Kids Seriously
The fake Bianca was not involved in any messy relationships, so Luke could manage the Crawford and Norman families with ease.
"Dad, Rainie and I will keep this a secret, don't worry," Lanie said. The three of them were not close to Bianca at all so it was not too much trouble to fool Tommy.
After the two had a chat, they returned to the living room.
Tommy waved to them happily and said, "Lanie, come! The show is about to begin."
Lanie nodded and sat on the sofa.
Luke walked to the kitchen and stood at the entrance. He did not enter and just stood there.
The kitchen was indeed very small. If he walked in, it would becmore crowded so he just stood there and watched from a distance.
Luca's perception was sensitive. She turned her head and saw Luke standing there as expected.
"Mr. Crawford, are you alright?" She stopped cutting the chocolate in her hand.
"I’m fine." Luke deliberately glanced around the kitchen and said, "Your kitchen is too small. I assume you like to cook? Don't you find the place stuffy?"
"The kitchen is big in proportions to the house. It is what it is. " Luca frowned unconsciously when she heard him commenting on her kitchen.
"The company provides all senior employees with a dormitory. It has one bedroom and one living room. It’s also close to the company. You can consider applying for it," Luke said.
Luca did not think twice before she refused him. "My apartment is great. The company's dormitories are limited. They should go to those who need it. Mr. Crawford, if you don't need anything from the kitchen, you should leave since it’s oily here."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuke frowned when he heard her drive him away. He then turned around to leave.
He thought it was inconvenient for Luca to live here since it was quite a distance away from the company. Besides, the security measures here were not the best. That was why he deliberately mentioned the company's benefits but did not expect her to turn him down without thinking twice.
'Is it because it only has one room and one living room and she wants to live with her non-blood-related brother?'
Luke thought of Amur and his expression turned sullen. Although they were siblings, he noticed the possessiveness and wariness in Amur's eyes.
'What is there aboutthat he needs to be vigilant about? I’m not a bad guy...’
Luke sat back on the sofa, looked at the fruits that Luca prepared, picked up a piece, and ate it.
The kids watched cartoons happily. Luke sat there with nothing to do but he did not feel bored.
After Luca made the fillings, the dough was done proofing. She took out the proofed dough and the croissant fillings, then put them on the table.
The children said that they wanted to make it themselves.
Since they were willing to participate, Luca was happy for them to be a part of it.
When the kids saw her bring the things out, they all stepped forward and looked at Luca.
"Put on the gloves." Luca began to teach them how to make croissants.
The kids took the gloves and put them on. Tommy glanced at Luke who was still on the sofa and urged him, "Dad, cand make croissants with us."
When Luke heard Tommy's words, he stood up and walked over but did not put on his gloves.
Tommy thought he was unwilling to participate so he said solemnly, "My teacher said that if you want something, you have to do it yourself. Daddy, if you want to eat croissants, you have to make it yourself."
Luke raised his brows and glanced at Luca.
She kneaded the dough with her head slightly lowered but the corners of her mouth seemed to rise into a small smile.
Eventually, Luke grabbed the gloves and put them on. In his life, he had only assisted Bianca in the kitchen. Luca was the second person he was voluntarily helping.
Since Tommy said so, he could only go along.
Luca divided the proofed dough into smaller portions and showed the kids how to shape the croissants.
The kids were quick learners. They knew how to do it after seeing her shape a few and followed along.
Luca glanced at Luke. He was more skillful than the kids as she had taught him how to shape croissants before. He started making them without paying much attention to what she was doing.
Tommy was finally done with one of them. He looked at the croissants that Luca, Lanie, and Rainie prepared. They were all better-looking than his.
He was unhappy and glanced at the croissant in Luke's hands. It was also better than his. He could not help but mutter, "Dad, how cyours looks better than mine? I thought that you don’t know how to
make croissants?"
"Have I ever told you that?" Luke said calmly as he shaped another croissant.
Luca glanced at the croissant that Luke made and thought that it was indeed well made.
Luke's croissant-making skills had not regressed over the years.
Rainie laughed out loud. "Tommy, Daddy knows how to make croissants. Mommy taught him. The croissants that Mommy makes look great, just like..."
Her gaze fell on the croissant made by Luca. "They're exactly the sas the ones Ms. Luca makes. They're beautiful, just like the croissants sold in a restaurant."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuca paused what she was doing and smiled.
She was a skilled chef, so making croissants was not difficult for her. She thought of the first tshe made croissants with Luke.
At that time, she did not imagine that his slender hands were so clumsy.
Luke had no talent in the kitchen. The first the made a croissant, the fillings were leaking and they were not shaped right. They looked like an abomination.
At that time, she lamented that no one was perfect. Luke may seem omnipotent from the outside but there were still a lot of things that he did not understand, such as kitchen work. He was not as good as her on matters as such.
However, discovering his shortcomings did not affect her feelings for him. She fell harder and harder seeing his earnest efforts.
After a few practices, the croissants he made looked better and better.
When he heard what Rainie said, Tommy pouted. "I'm still young. I'll practice a few more times and my croissants will soon look the sas yours."
Luca smiled and made a special croissant for Tommy. She handed it to him to coax him. "Tommy, you'll have this croissant later, okay?"
Tommy immediately turned his frown upside down and placed her special croissant on his palm. "Ms. Luca, this croissant is so beautiful. I can't bear to eat it."
Luca smiled and shook her head. "I believe you’ll eat this croissant first."
With that said, she made Lanie and Rainie a special croissant each. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Luke saw how she treated them fairly. It was clear that she liked and took the kids seriously.
The kids were not resistant toward her.
He stared into Luca's eyes.
After they worked together to make the croissants, Luca prepared for the second round of proofing before putting them in the oven.
