Chapter 1755
The next day.
Luca opened her eyes. It was already a quarter past seven.
As it was about tto go to work, she headed to the master bedroom and took a set of office wear out. She did not move out everything when she moved out last time, and she kept sof her things here.
Although the clothes were thin as they were meant to wear during early autumn, she would still be able to make do. She checked the weather forecast, and it showed that it would not be too cold today.
After Luca washed herself up, her phone rang when she was about to leave.
She picked it up and glanced at it. It was Luke.
“Good morning, Mr. Crawford." She answered the call, sounding cautious and serious.
Luke was standing outside the villa. He pressed on the doorbell again. "Are you still in bed?"
"No, I'm awake. I'm about to go out and head to the office. Is there anything you need?" Luca thought he called her early in the morning to give her work to do.
Luke frowned. She was about to go out? Then why did no one answer the door when he had been ringing the doorbell for ten minutes?
"I'm outside the villa," said Luke.
Luca was stunned. She paused her gestures while she was changing her shoes. She glanced at the tand said, "Uh, I'm not in the villa."
"Where are you?" Luke asked. He had only asked her to move in yesterday but she was not here today?
"I'm at the apartment, my own apartment. My brother is coming back soon, so I cback here to clean it up," Luca explained.
"You slept in the apartment after you finished cleaning up?" Luke's brows furrowed together. It seemed that Luca was very concerned about this brother who had no blood ties with her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe concern she had for Amur was how a sister treated her younger brother. However, Amur's feelings for Luca were not as simple.
When they met each other the last time, his instinct told him that Amur had feelings for Luca.
"Yes. It was too late, so I slept there. Don't worry. I'm heading to the office now. I won't be late." Luca promised him. She refused to think about the reason why Luke showed up in front of the villa.
She was still running away like an ostrich from Luke and his feelings for her.
Luca thought that he had made it clear by asking her to move out of the apartment. However, what he was doing now made her confused again.
What was Luke doing?
Why was he giving her the wrong impression that he cared about her?
Luke looked at the breakfast he was holding in his hand. He was worried that Luca did not have any ingredients to make breakfast after she moved in here. That was why he brought breakfast here.
However, he did not expect that she was not here at all.
Fortunately, he had taken into account the journey to the office and bought Western breakfast for her. It would not affect the taste even if the food went cold.
“I bought you breakfast. You don't have to buy anything on the way to the office." Luke hung up the phone after he said that.
He would not get angry if Luca cared so much about her younger brother who had blood ties with her.
After all, her family was important to her.
However, Amur was someone who had nothing to do with her. Besides, he was related to the organization that was behind Luca. Still, she cared so much about him!
Luke was unhappy. She was not even that straightforward with him. She had to give another man a share of soup when she prepared soup for him.
He got back into his car. Then, he recalled what he did to verify whether or not it was Luca who personally made the soup for him yesterday. He even called the maid who took care of her and asked if she had bought any ingredients to prepare the soup.
After the maid confirmed with him that Luca did not ask her to buy the ingredients to prepare the soup, he was sure that it was Luca who made the soup herself.
What a difficult woman.
She was straightforward to other men.
Luke felt unhappy at once. It seemed like she was not busy enough in T Corporation.
She still had the energy to clean up the apartment for another man. If that was the case, she should not blhim for doing this to her...
Luke was planning to bring the kids to the villa for them to stay together with Luca. Now, it seemed like he had to proceed with the plan earlier than scheduled.
That way, she would have to take care of the kids after work. There were three kids, so he would like to see if she had any extra energy to take care of another man!
At the thought of this, Luke picked up his phone. He called Mr. Griffin and gave him orders.
Then, he drove back to the T Corporation.
The villa was nearer to T Corporation. Naturally, Luke reached the office earlier than Luca.
He walked out of the elevator after he cto his floor. He was carrying the breakfast in his hands.
Luke entered Luca's office and placed the breakfast on Luca's desk. He was afraid that she might not see it, so he placed it in the middle of the table. Then, he headed to the pantry and prepare coffee for her.
Although she did not say anything about it, Luke knew that she must not have slept much last night.
Based on Luca's habit, she would usually go to sleep around 12. However, she called him at about 11:30 last night, asking whether her 'brother' was allowed to move in.
After he rejected her, she must have headed to the apartment to clean it up.
Luke felt even more upset at the thought of Luca staying up late cleaning the apartment for sother man. After he put the thermos flask filled with coffee on her table, he turned around and left the office.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuca arrived at T Corporation. She walked into her office after she punched in. She saw the Western breakfast that Luke had bought for her.
There was a thermos flask on the table too...
She looked at the flask, and it seemed like the one she gave to him yesterday.
Luca blinked her eyes. She walked into the office and picked up the flask. It was heavy.
She opened the flask and looked at it. There was coffee in it.
The coffee was still warm.
Luca sniffed it. She could smell the rich aroma of the coffee. She looked at the breakfast on the table and wondered why Luke made her coffee.
Could it be that he knew she did not get enough sleep?
Luca felt uneasy when she thought of how considerate he was to her.
The more Luke treated her kindly, the more it proved that his feelings for her were different.
When Luca thought of the possibility of them breaking up in the future and how he might feel betrayed by her, she looked down. Then, she lifted her head to take a sip of the coffee.
It tasted bitter.
Milk was added to the coffee, but Luca still thought it tasted bitter. It was not the coffee, though. The bitterness cfrom her heart.
She closed the office door and sat on the chair. She opened the breakfast that Luke bought for her.
With just a glance, she knew he had bought it outside. It seemed like he did not work overtin the office last night and had returned to Crawford Manor instead. That was why he could bring Western breakfast for her.
Allison had returned. There would be a storm in Crawford Manor. As for her the things happening on her side.
Luca was heartbroken with what Luke had to face. Perhaps he had no idea that she cback with a purpose this time.
The crisis that the Crawford family was facing was merely on the surface. The crisis that Luke had to face later would have something to do with her. It was lurking in the corner without being detected.
Luca wanted to remind Luke about it, but she realized that there was nothing she could do. She could not tell him anything.
After breakfast, she gulped down the last of her coffee. The bitterness filled her mouth, but she dared not to shed a tear.
