"Alright, I'll send it to you shortly," Luca said cheerfully. After Nina and Percy finished their soup, Luca accompanied Nina to the guest room to pack up.
"I'll do it. There isn't much anyway," said Nina as she packed the skincare products on the dressing table.
These skincare products were all bought recently. She had not used many of them yet. She was not one to waste, so she packed all the skincare products into her bag.
"Letget you a bag, then. You didn't bring anything. It's not convenient to bring your clothes out without a bag," suggested Luca as she walked out of the guest room. She found a large bag in the living room on the second floor.
Nina had brought over a few pieces of clothing for work, so she needed a bag to pack them in.
Luca walked back into the guest room and handed the bag to Nina.
Nina did not have much stuff. It did not take long before she finished packing.
"Mr. Percy is chatting with Mr. Crawford," Luca reminded her.
"Yeah, they probably have work matters to discuss. Shall we go downstairs first and chat with the kids?" asked Nina.
"Sure. Lethelp you carry this," offered Luca as she lifted the bag.
"It’s okay. I can carry it," Nina insisted. She carried her own handbag and wanted to reach for the bag in Luca's hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuca shook her head. "It's not heavy. I can help."
Then, she carried the bag downstairs.
The three kids were sitting in the living room watching cartoons. They turned their heads when they heard footsteps and saw the two women carrying bags in their hands.
"Is Ms. Nina leaving?" asked Rainie.
"Yes, Mr. Percy is back, so I’m going back home.” Nina sat beside Rainie with a smile on her face.
Rainie expressed how much she would miss her. "Ms. Nina, please stay a little longer. If not, let Mr. Percy stay here with you."
Nina looked at the child and replied happily, "How about I cback here when Mr. Percy is away on a business trip? I'll stay here longer next time, okay?"
"Great!" Rainie loved the idea. "You’re always welcto stay here."
"You're such adorable kids. I don't even want to leave anymore." Nina heaved a sigh. She pinched Rainie's cheek and said, "By the way, the wedding planning company has sent over the ring bearer's dress. It was delivered to our place, but I'll have someone bring Tommy’s set over later. He should try it on. If it doesn't fit, we can make alterations."
"Okay, no problem," Luca said. Tommy would be the ring bearer at Percy and Nina's wedding, while the flower girl would be Sue’s daughter, Kari.
In Sue's words, Kari was more suitable than Teri. She was quieter and more well-behaved. That was why she offered Kari.
"Tommy, when the tcomes, you'll be the ring bearer for Ms. Nina, okay? You'll be scattering petals," explained Luca. She looked down at the child and talked to him.
"Okay. No problem." Tommy nodded. His eyes were still fixed on the TV screen, where the cartoon show was reaching its climax.
"Look at them. They’re so small yet such TV addicts." Luca chuckled while gently stroking Tommy's head.
Nina secretly let out a sigh. Luca was so much like a mother to the kids at this moment.
She had felt this way many times before whenever she saw Luca interacting with the kids.
If the kids were not her own children, there was no way they could show such intimacy.
Nina chuckled and gently stroked Rainie’s hair beside her. "Luca, how many children do you think I should have?"
Luca smiled and glanced at the staircase. Percy had not cdown yet. She curiously asked, "Why? Are you thinking about having kids?"
"It's almost tfor the wedding, isn't it? After the wedding, I think we should start a family, no?" replied Nina. All of this was part of her plan.
"Yes, it's about time. A boy and a girl would be perfect. You should have two children," Luca suggested on her behalf.
A son to tackle problems like his father and a daughter to serve as a comforting presence for her parents.
"Alright, then I'll have two. We've agreed on this, and when the tcomes, you'll be the godmother to my children," said Nina. She had discussed these arrangements with Bianca as well, but Nina was no longer so preoccupied with Bianca any more.
It was not that she had forgotten about Bianca.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was just that, for sreason, Nina felt like Bianca was right beside her whenever she was with Luca.
Even though Nina could not understand why she had such a feeling, perhaps it was because Luca's way of speaking resembled Bianca's. That was why she found Luca familiar.
It was because of this that Nina could not bring herself to hate Luca even though she was Bianca's love rival...
They chatted for a while longer.
Luca even asked about Shireen.
Shireen had won several international awards for her projects, and her reputation was gradually growing in the architecture circle.
Although her fwas not yet comparable to Luke's, she had significantly strengthened Brilliant's capabilities. Many companies were seeking to collaborate with them.
Brilliant was thriving more and more. On the one hand, it was because of Luke's guidance and management. On the other hand, it was also because of Shireen’s reputation.
Nowadays, Brilliant was improving more and more...
It was even gaining prominence within the architectural industry.
As Luca listened to Nina, she could not help but secretly exclaim. The woman she had always thought highly of now shone so brightly in the career she loved.
She was bringing substantial benefits to Brilliant at the stime.
Luca remembered when she first founded Brilliant, her wish had been simple. She wanted the company to becone of the leading firms in the architectural industry. With that, she would be content.
Now, Brilliant was truly rising and improving. It was the result of all their efforts.
Luca felt grateful. After all, Brilliant was the first company she established. Although she could not participate in its development now, watching the company prosper made her feel like her initial wish had been fulfilled.
They continued discussing Brilliant for a while longer. Just as Nina was puzzled about why Luca, a pharmaceutical industry professional, was so curious about an architectural company, Percy came downstairs.
