Chapter 3317 Being Away From HFor Too Long Makes You Miss It
Tommy wrapped his arms around Luca's waist and mumbled, "But we want to live with Dad and Ms. Luca."
"Be good. After you finish your finals, and after Lanie's grade-skipping evaluation, we'll bring you back," replied
Luca. She did not want to be apart from the kids either, but she did not want the adults’ issues to affect their
studies.
The three kids were very smart.
Luca did not want them to perform poorly or let the situation with Allison leave a negative impact on them.
When kids experienced trauma, it could be harmful to their development.
Speople thought kids were young and forgot things easily, that if something bad happened, they would
move on quickly.
The truth was, kids had excellent memories, especially with negative experiences. That was why Luca did not
want them to be affected.
"Tommy, listen to Ms. Luca. This is also what Daddy wants," Lanie chimed in.
He was not afraid of their grandmother. Even though her face was disfigured, it did not bother him. It did not
scare him at all.
If Allison moved in, he figured he would just spend more tin his room and avoid seeing her.
However, Rainie and Tommy were timid. If they had to move back to Crawford Manor, he would definitely stay
with them.
"Okay." Tommy nodded. As he thought of Allison's face, he shivered and looked at Rainie. "Rainie, is Grandma's
face scarier now?"
"It's a little better than it was on New Year's." Rainie pondered for a moment and added, "But just a little better.
It's still not fully healed. There are still a lot of wrinkles, and it's pretty scary."
Tommy shrank back. Boys were supposed to be brave and not get scared by little things like this. Still, just
thinking about Allison's face made him lose his courage.
"Rainie, let's go live at Crawford Manor," suggested Tommy.
"Okay. I'll take you all there the day before your grandma comes back." Luca patted his head. After he let go of
her, she stood up carrying the fruits and said, "I'm going to make sice cream."
Vivian immediately stood up as well. "Luca, I'd love to learn how to make ice cream."
"Cto the kitchen. Luca smiled and walked with her into the kitchen.
Aunt Neile was busy cleaning up, so she was not in the kitchen.
Vivian could not help but ask with curiosity, "Luca, | didn't realize Mr. Crawford was talking with his mother just
now, so when | passed by, | accidentally gasped and let out a scream. Was that rude of me?"
"Don't worry about it. Luke won't mind," replied Luca with a smile.
"But his mother seemed very upset. I'm worried | was impolite." It was her first tseeing someone like that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe looked like something out of a fairy tale, like a wicked witch...
Vivian had never seen anything so terrifying, and she could not help but gasp when she saw Allison.
As Luca washed the fruits, she replied, "Really, it's fine. It's understandable. The way she looks now is because of
squestionable beauty products."
"What kind of products? That sounds scary!" Vivian's curiosity was piqued.
"It's a type of brightening serum. It works well at first, but it's full of hormones and heavy metals. Using it for a
long tleads to heavy metal poisoning and hormonal imbalances, causing all sorts of problems. If you stop
using it, your skin ages rapidly, and new, healthy cells won't grow anymore," explained Luca.
She had already analyzed the brightening serum Allison had used.
It worked, but the ingredients in it were dangerous.
If Allison had not gone to prison and had continued using it, the damage would not have stopped at just her face.
There could have been a chain reaction affecting her internal organs, possibly even leading to serious health
issues.
"I can't believe it!" Vivian was shocked.
"Once people start using it, they can't stop, right? Whether they keep using it or stop, there'll be side effects
either way?"
"Yes." Luca nodded. After washing the fruits, she took out scream and sterile eggs to make ice cream.
"So, if a skincare product promises quick and amazing results, it's usually not trustworthy. It's better not to use
those kinds of products."
"That's terrifying." Vivian instinctively touched her face. "Luckily, | only use products from reliable brands." Luca
heard her, took a closer look, and furrowed her brows.
"What is it? Do | have something on my face?" Vivian could not help but ask with curiosity when Luca stared at
her.
"No, nothing like that. But have you noticed your skin has gotten even fairer and smoother lately?" questioned
Luca.
"Really? | haven't noticed." Vivian touched her skin. Perhaps it was her imagination, but now that Luca
mentioned it, she did feel like her skin had becsofter and fairer.
"It's true. | mentioned during the barbecue the last tthat your skin looked better, and now, it's even more so.
It's not like it improved overnight, but little by little, you can really see the difference," replied Luca.
"Thank you." Vivian accepted the compliment with a smile.

Vivian recorded the ice cream making process on her phone, nodding as she replied, "Exactly, that's what I'm
thinking. By the way, do you miss home, Luca?"
Luca instinctively answered, "Of course, | do."

"Yes, | get it. Work keeps you busy. I'm still in school, so | get breaks, but working adults don't have it as easy."
Vivian understood the reality of adulthood.
"Make the most of your long vacations to visit hwhen you're still a student," suggested Luca.
She thought about her own kids. One day, they would grow up and possibly leave her side for their studies.
It would be hard to let go, but she knew it was inevitable.
All she could hope for was that when her kids were older, they would cback to visit during the holidays. That
alone would make her happy.

Luca. "Can | count on you to help?"
"Leave it to me," replied Vivian, grabbing a fruit knife and cutting the washed fruit into chunks before putting
them into the blender.
