Chapter 1418
Luca could guess why Luke did not tell the people from the Crawford household. He should want to protect Tia’s reputation…
She heard the elevator doors open and watched Sean and Tommy go inside. Before the doors closed, Tommy peeked out of the elevator, waved at Luca, and said, “Bye-bye, Ms. Luca!”
Luca forced a smile and waved back at him.
After the elevator doors closed, she closed the door of her apartment.
She could not stop herself from thinking that Luke was currently at dinner with Tia while the people in his family knew nothing about it.
She sat down on the couch. A commercial was playing on the television. She was irritated by the noise, and she switched off the television with the remote control.
Before Luca returned to A City, she was already mentally prepared that Luke would have had an intimate relationship with the impostor. She even guessed that they might have had another child.
She did not feel sad. After all, Luke was also a victim of Abel’s deception and could not be blamed.
However, she found out that Luke did not even touch that impostor Bianca. He had kept a wary distance from her.
She was quite happy when she found out about it. Even though Luke did not know the truth behind the impostor’s identity, he could sense that something was amiss. That way, she remained the sole recipient of Luke’s love.
Now that Tia suddenly appeared, and what Luke was doing to her…
Luca would be lying to herself if she said that she was not jealous or sad.
She even imagined the eventuality where Luke and Tia’s relationship would improve, and they might even get married…
Her heart wrenched in agony when she imagined another woman in Luke’s embrace.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe picked up her phone and searched the Intefor information about Tia.
She managed to find an article about Tia on Wikipedia. Even though someone else might have the snas her, Luca could tell that the woman in the article was the sone she had seen earlier.
Luca scrolled down and carefully read every detail.
When she was done reading, she concluded that Tia was an outstanding individual.
If Luca had not been abducted by Abel and had continued to advance her career in A City, she might not even be as popular as Tia.
Back when she first started the company, the people there called her “Mrs. Crawford” and not “Mdm. Rayne”…
Luca put her phone away. She knew that she was very capable, but she realized that Tia was more suitable for Luke.
If Luke decided to marry Tia one day, Luca guessed that Old Master Crawford would not object to it…
Luca smiled, though the smile was not happy at all.
The next morning, Luca got out of bed and looked at herself in the mirror. It was the second night in a row that she did not sleep well.
She picked up the concealer and began to apply it to her face.
She spent the entire night thinking, and she finally accepted the fact that it might be a good thing if Luke decided to marry Tia.
That way, he would stop giving attention to her, and Abel’s plan would fail.
Luke would eventually stop looking for her, and no one would be disappointed or sad. It was a good choice if Luke chose Tia over her.
Luca looked at her eye bags in the mirror and covered them with concealer.
After she was done, she thought that her face was still missing something. She forced a smile on her face, but that smile was filled with sadness.
Luca sighed. She might have accepted the fact, but she could not stop herself from being sad.
After putting on makeup, she went into the kitchen and prepared a simple breakfast for herself.
She did not turn on the television because she was not in the mood, so she missed out on a news report about Luke.

Last time, Luke was in the headlines because of a certain Dr. Craw, and Old Master Crawford did not know who it was. This time, the subject of the scandal was someone he knew.
“Is Luke up yet?” Old Master Crawford asked the butler.
“He should be up by now,” the butler replied.
Old Master Crawford stood up with the help of the walking stick and picked up the newspaper. “Get the driver to send the kids to school today. Tell Luke to cto my study after he’s done with breakfast.”
“Yes,” the butler replied.
When Luke cdown the stairs, he did not see Old Master Crawford at the dining table. He knew that his grandfather woke up earlier than he did, and his grandfather would sit at the dining table and read the newspaper. It was rare that he was not there today.
He asked the butler, “Where’s Grandfather?”
“Old Master Crawford is in his study, Sir. He requests that you meet him there after you finish breakfast,” the butler relayed the information to Luke.

After breakfast, he went to the study.
He knocked on the door and, after receiving consent, walked in. “Is there anything, Grandfather?”
After Luke sat down, Old Master Crawford said, “You said that you were working overtyesterday night, but I see this in the newspaper today. What’s going on?”
Usually, if Luke had to work overtor have a business dinner elsewhere, he would phone hto tell them not to wait for him.
Yesterday, he said very clearly that he was working overtand not attending a dinner.
Old Master Crawford began to make up stories.
Luke glanced at the newspaper. In the report was a photograph of him and Tia going into a French restaurant. Other than the waiter, there was no one else with them.
He did not expect that the incident would make the headlines of the gossip section.
“If I’m not mistaken, that woman is Bianca’s psychologist, right?” Old Master Crawford asked.
Luke nodded and put the newspaper away.
Old Master Crawford continued to ask, “Are you interested in her?”
As Luke’s grandfather, Old Master Crawford knew that he would not have dinner alone with another woman.
That was why Old Master Crawford suspected something.
Luke shook his head and said, “I am indeed interested in her.”
“Why did you shake your head then?” Old Master Crawford asked.
Ever since he knew that Bianca was an impostor, he did not object to Luke looking for another woman’s affection. However, no one else knew that Luke’s wife was an impostor, and they thought that she was traveling overseas. Now that the paparazzi had caught Luke having dinner with another woman, it would certainly affect his reputation!
