Chapter 1155 The Most Delicious Dinner
"Don't worry, Ms. Luca. I didn’t sneak out this time. Daddy brought me here! " Tommy smiled sweetly.
"Ha, I hope you won't do that again!" Luca took the opportunity to discipline the child. She hoped that he would not run away from home again.
If he ran away again, he might not be so lucky.
"Don't worry, Ms. Luca, I won't!" Tommy reassured her.
Luca remembered that Luke said that Tommy was sick. She placed her palm on his forehead but did not think that he was having a fever.
Tommy thought that Luca's hand was warm, and it had given him an inexplicable sense of security. "What are you doing, Ms. Luca?" he asked.
"Aren't you feeling unwell? I thought you'd be having a fever," Luca said.
Tommy shook his head. "I lied to Daddy. I'm feeling very healthy!" This belongs to - ©.
Luca was relieved when she heard that, though she pretended to glare at him. "You're such a naughty boy. You shouldn't lie to your Daddy." "I wouldn't be able to meet you if I hadn't lied to Daddy, Ms. Luca," Tommy said matter-of-factly. He did not think he did anything wrong at all. "I'm only telling a white lie. All I wanted was to meet you." "Naughty." Luca gently flicked the back of his hand.
"Don't you want to see me, Ms. Luca?" Tommy asked.
"I'm happy when a handsome little boy wants to meet me, but you shouldn't do that next time. It's not good to lie." Luca stood up, held his hand, and led him to the couch. "Understand?" "Yes!" Tommy
thought that he would not have such opportunities often.
He would not have made up an excuse to skip school if he did not know that his father was going to Watson Biopharmaceuticals today.
"Ms. Luca, can I have dinner at your house tonight?" Tommy asked.
Luca raised an eyebrow. "Why do you want to have dinner at my home?" "I miss your cooking, Ms. Luca," Tommy said with a grin. His plan was working.
Luca remembered that Amur was living in her house now. He might be trustworthy, but she did not want Tommy to meet another person from the Island of Despair. She could only say, "I can't promise you anything. I might need to work overtime today, and your Daddy, who is also my boss, might not agree with your plan." "What if Daddy dopes?” Tommy frowned and said.
"We'll see about that." Luca was quite sure that Luke would not agree to it. He would want to bring the boy back to Crawford Manor.
"Alright, we'll see what Daddy says!" Tommy decided that he would try to convince his father.
Luca nodded. She knew what Tommy was thinking, but she was not worried.
She knew Luke very well. Once he was set on something, nothing would be able to persuade him to change his mind. The only person who could do so was Bianca.
She was quite unhappy when she thought about the impostor Bianca.
Tommy might have told her that Luke and the impostor Bianca had been sleeping separately, but Luca was worried that the little child might not have seen the entire picture.
"Ms. Luca! Ms. Luca?" Tommy saw that she was lost in thought, so he tugged her shirt sleeve.
Luca came to her senses and looked at the little boy. "Yes?" "You should finish your work so that you don't have to work overtime, Ms. Luca. You'll have to cook a delicious dinner for me tonight," Tommy said. He had come to Luca's office to meet her, but he did not want to distract her from her work.
He was quite empathic!
"What about you?" Luca asked. Her office did not have a television, and she had to use the other electronic devices for her work.
"You don't have to worry about me, Ms. Luca. I brought a book!" Tommy smiled and took out a general knowledge book from his backpack.
"Alright then. You can read while I finish my work on hand." Luca was at ease when she saw that Tommy could keep himself occupied. She returned to her chair and resumed her work.
Luca reproduced the steps of Shanks's research and did not discover any problem. Not feeling very convinced, she compared his data with hers one more time.
If she realized that something was wrong, she would immediately terminate the experiment.
If that happened, she would have to bring out another project to placate Luke and the other people.
Tommy was sitting on the couch reading his book. Occasionally, he glanced at Luca and could not help but grin when he saw her hard at work.1 She's so pretty," he thought.
He wished that he could live with her forever.
Just when she was about to go off work, someone knocked on her door.
She thought that Rhett was bringing the experiment results in. "Come in," she said without asking the person outside to identify themselves.
When the door was opened, Tommy hopped off the couch and ran over." Daddy!"
Luca's expression stiffened, and she lifted her head with much difficulty.
When their eyes met, Luca wanted to lower her head again.
However, that would seem very awkward, so she did not do it. She stood up and greeted him courteously, "Mr. Crawford." "Mm." Luke glanced at the couch. On it was Tommy's backpack and a book. He did not see any snacks, juice bottles, or tablets.
How did Luca manage to get him to sit still for an entire afternoon?
Luke thought that it was quite unbelievable. He knew that Tommy could hardly sit still, and the boy could only concentrate on something for two hours at most.
No matter how interesting a book might be, he would only be able to read it for two hours maximum. After that, he would be clamoring for snacks or games.
Looking at the scene, he guessed that Tommy had been reading the book in Luca's office for the entire afternoon.
Was what Luca said true, that she had an affinity with Tommy? Otherwise, how could he explain why Tommy would sit there for an entire afternoon? When he thought about that, he looked at Luca again.
"Are you going off work, Daddy?" Tommy asked.
"Mm, yes. Let's go home." Luke came to his senses and looked away from Luca. "Go and pack up."
He pointed at Tommy's book and backpack.
Tommy remembered Luca's promise. He tugged his father's shirt sleeve and said, "Can we not go home yet, Daddy?'" "Why?" Luke asked.
"I want Ms. Luca to make dinner for me. She cooks really delicious food. Can we go and have dinner at her house?" Tommy said.
'Dinner?'
In the past, Luke would have rejected the thought instantly. Bianca had already made the most delicious dinner for him.
Bianca's cooking was different from others. She only cooked for him.
Unfortunately, she had lost her memories, and her cooking skills were lost forever.
