Chapter 1569
These were the only things that she could help him with and do for him.
Rainie stared at her for a while before she slowly said, “Ms. Luca, Mommy told us the sthing you just told us."
"Yes, I remember Mommy saying that before." Tommy nodded and turned to look at Luca.
He liked her so much because she was similar to their mother in many ways.
She was gentle and virtuous. Sometimes, even what she said was exactly like what Bianca had previously said to them.
Luca was startled for a moment. She did not expect the kids to remember what she had said to them before.
Luca still remembered why she said that back then.
Everyone in T Corporation was fully committed to carrying out the new project at that time. As the boss, Luke had to guide the whole company's progress. Sometimes, he would have to work overtuntil three or four in the morning when he was busy.
However, he would always get off work on tas to not worry her and the kids. He would walk straight into the study after he got home. Sometimes, he would be so busy to the extent that he would even have his dinner in the study.
The kids would complain about it, and that was how she comforted them.
There was something else she had said too. Not only was he their daddy but he was also responsible for the parents of many other children. He worked hard so that the other children could be well taken care of.
The kids would stop complaining after listening to her.
Luca thought that they did not understand her back then. She did not expect Rainie and Tommy to remember what she said until now.
Lanie, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke. "Mommy even told us that the reason Daddy works so hard is to let many other children be well taken care of. We keep every word she said to us in mind."
Luca felt a pang in her heart. They remembered everything she had said to them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey were just normal words that were not comforting or inspirational, yet the children kept them dearly in their minds.
Luca needed stto get over what the kids said to her.
At this moment, Mr. Griffin knocked on the door, walked into the room, and said, "Young Master Blanche, Young Master Tommy, and Young Miss Rainie, afternoon tea is ready."
The kids shot a glance at the butler, then they continued to stare at Luca.
Luca stood up and held their hands. Then, they stood up too. "Ms. Luca?"
“Why don't we have stea first?” She suggested. "After you finish your afternoon tea, I'll continue the story."
"Alright!" The three of them agreed as they bounced and hopped out of the bedroom.
Mr. Griffin stood at the bedroom door. After Luca walked out of the bedroom, he passed Luke's message to her. "Ms. Craw, Young Master Luke is waiting for you in the study."
"Mr. Crawford wants to see me? What's the matter?" Luca looked in the direction of the study. Why did he not tell her when he cin just now?
"I'm not sure about that. Please go over," said the butler.
Luca nodded. She watched the kids head in the direction of the stairs. She walked forward and stopped at the study's entrance.
She knocked on the door.
Luke's voice cfrom inside. "Cin."
Luca pushed the door and walked in.
The butler was still standing at the bedroom's entrance. He was confused when he saw how Luca was able to find the study without any guidance. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Was this not the first tshe cto Crawford Manor? The study's door was closed before Luke went in. The door of the study and the bedrooms were the same. How was she able to find the door to the study so precisely?
Could it be that it was Young Master Tommy who had brought her for a house tour?
The butler no longer doubted it when he thought of that possibility. He followed the kids downstairs.
Luca looked around the room's furnishings after she entered the study. The office table that belonged to her was still there.
After the fake Bianca was sent to keep Luke company, she was never involved in the company's management, so no one was using the office table.
She did not expect that Luke still kept it, and the decorations were still there too.
Luca looked at the fron the table and wondered if the photo in it was still the same.
"Take a seat." Luke pointed at the seat opposite him when she said nothing.
Luca glanced at the sofa. She ended up choosing to sit on the chair. It would only make him confounded if she deliberately avoided him.
"Mr. Crawford, are you looking for me?" She could not wait any longer to know why he was looking for him after she sat down.
Luca did not expect she would have the chance to step into the study again, but...
She could not do anything with him here.
She pretended as if her gaze was unintentionally sweeping across the safe in the corner. The furnishings here had not changed even after three years.
“Did Grandpa give you a hard time?" Luke asked. That was what he wanted to know the most.
That was what he wanted to know at first when he heard that the old man had suddenly invited her over.
The old master had made things clear that he would not interfere with his social life as long as it did not affect the company's development.
However, he also made it clear that his ultimate goal for everything he did was to find Bianca.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHence, Luke was worried that Old Master Crawford would intentionally make things difficult for Luca or promise her something.
"Old Master Crawford didn't say anything. He only thankedfor taking care of Tommy," replied Luca. He was acting a little strange.
Was he worried about her being bullied by the old master?
However, if the old master was going to bully her, why would he invite her to Crawford Manor?
Although Old Master Crawford did not treat her enthusiastically, he was kind to her.
She knew him pretty well after the years spent with him. Old Master Crawford would pull a straight face in front of someone he did not like, and his seriousness would give that person the chills.
It was not like that now.
"Nothing else?" Luke raised his eyebrows. It was not the old master's way of doing things.
"No." Luca shook her head.
"Alright. That's all," said Luke.
Luca stood up when she heard him say that. She bade him goodbye and said, "Mr. Crawford, I'll be going back since there are no other matters."
"Didn't you promise the kids to tell them a story?" Luke did not look up at her. He was looking at the computer screen. He had just received a document from Stillwater International.
Luca was at a loss for words. How did he know about that?
"Have you finished telling the story?" Luke asked.
"No, there's still a part left," Luca answered honestly. She did not think she should lie to him about something that could be exposed at any time.
It would be more embarrassing if she was exposed.
"Just finish telling them the story since you're here. Otherwise, they'll talk about it again and again, askingto tell them that story." Luke lifted his head and glanced at Luca after he clicked open the document. His deep eyes were like the whirlpools in the ocean. They would pull her into it to enjoy the peace in there.
Luca nodded and replied stiffly, "Alright."
"What's your story about?" Luke asked again. He had listened to her when she was telling the story to the kids that night. He still remembered the storyline and the nof the characters that he heard.
