Chapter 1187 It Was as Though Luca Was His Mother

Luke could hear the weakness in her tired voice. His hand twisted the doorknob but found that she had already locked the door.

Bianca instantly became wary when she heard Luke twisting the doorknob.

She was afraid that Luke might ask the butler to unlock the door.

"I'm really tired, Luke." Her voice became weaker as she clutched the bedsheets. If he was in such a hurry to talk to him, she thought that he wanted to ask her about Ivana.

Bianca was bitter when she was reminded about Ivana.

Because of Ivana, Abel had nearly crippled her, and Luke was going to confront her.

She bit her lower lip, swearing that she would take her revenge!

Luke drew his hand away from the doorknob when he heard her tired voice. "Alright, rest well then."

There was not a hint of warmth in his voice. In the darkness, Bianca's expressions slowly became vicious. 'It's all because of that Ivana...' "Mm." Bianca did not hear Luke's footsteps and did not know if he had left. She could only reply weakly.

Luke returned to his study and saw Tommy sitting on the couch while reading a children's book.

"You're back, Daddy!" When Tommy saw him walking over, he put the book away, hopped off the couch, and waddled over. "Why did you come home so late?" "I had some business to take care of." Luke could tell that his son had something to tell him.

"Is it about Ms. Luca?" Tommy asked. He thought for a while and added," It's already been so long, Daddy. You should've taken care of it long ago. Otherwise, Ms. Luca would be really bothered." "Don't worry. It's all done now." Luke patted Tommy's head. The little boy cared for Luca a lot, and someone might even mistake Luca for Tommy's mother.

"That's good to know. I can tell that Ms. Luca has been troubled by the scandal. Our video calls have been very short, and she barely spoke anything today before she had to hang up." Tommy was still not very satisfied with his father's performance.

While he listened to Tommy air his complaints, Luke went over and sat down on his executive chair. "You've been calling Ms. Luca?" "Yes! I have a video call with Ms. Luca every day!" Tommy nodded and said, "I love Ms. Luca a lot. I don't think I can sleep well if I don't see her every day. Can I take the day off from school tomorrow? I want to go and visit her." "You can't." Luke was not going to allow his son to neglect his studies, and his decision was not up for negotiation.

"Don't be like that, Daddy." Tommy walked toward him and tried to reason with him. "You've caused Ms. Luca a lot of trouble, and it's up to me to appease her. Don't you think so?"

Not even the least bit moved by his son's "sacrifice," Luke flicked Tommy's forehead with his finger and said, "Don't even think about it. Go to bed now.

"Daddy..." Tommy was still trying to get a word in.

"No." Luke stood up and took his hand.

"What do you want, Daddy?" Tommy shuddered. Was Luke going to spank him?

As far as he could remember, Luke had never laid a finger on him, but he knew that his naughty classmates were often spanked by their parents. Was it his turn to finally experience it?

"You should sleep now." Luke brought him to his bedroom, lifted him up, and placed him on the bed. "It's already past your bedtime." "But what about Ms. Luca..." Tommy breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that he was not going to be spanked.

I'll arrange for it," Luke said perfunctorily.

Convinced that his father was going to arrange a meet-up, Tommy clapped his hands happily. "Yay!"

After Tommy settled down and Luke tucked him in, Luke went out of the bedroom.

He looked at Tommy's bedroom door and shook his head. Tommy was not someone who would like another person so easily, but he somehow shared an affinity with Luca.

Was it because of her voice?

Luca's voice was quite similar to Bianca's in the past.

Luke shook his head. He returned to the study to continue his work.

When he woke up the next morning, he realized that he had woken up earlier than usual. He lay on the sofa bed while staring at the ceiling. He was not in a rush to get up.

He rarely dreamed, but he vividly remembered what he had dreamed the night before.

He dreamed of being on the beach with the Bianca in the past, leaning against each other and basking in the sun. Her voice was soft and gentle.

As they gazed into each other's eyes, Bianca's face gradually morphed into Luca.

The voice was the same, but the person was different.

Luke was startled awake by the dream.

He was sure that the woman in his dreams was Bianca, but her transformation had caught him by surprise.

In the dream, he gazed at Luca's face with passion...

That was not what he would do...

He sat up and ruffled his hair. Looking at the clock, it was half an hour before his usual waking time. That was not what he would do either.

Bianca had locked the door to the master bedroom, and his work clothes were still inside. He had to go into the master bedroom.

He twisted the doorknob, and the door opened.

Bianca was sitting on the bed. She smiled as she looked at him. "Why are you awake so early, Luke? Didn’t you sleep well?" "There's some work in the office," Luke said. He did not think too much of her pale and haggard face; he thought that she looked like that because she had not put on makeup.

"You've been quite busy recently." Bianca frowned when she heard that.

Luke went to the closet and took out a suit and a tie.

"Mm. Business has been good lately." He nodded and went into the bathroom.

Bianca stood at the bedside, looking at the bathroom door uneasily.

Was he not going to mention Ivana at all?

She could not sleep for the entire night because of the pain. When she browsed the forum, she realized that any articles relating to the scandal were buried, while Liam's confession was pinned at the top.Belongs to - All rights reserved.

Bianca knew that the reporter was not protected by the Island of Despair.

Luke must have found him and coerced a confession out of him.

There was no mention of her in the announcement. That must have been Luke's handiwork as well.

Bianca was feeling very flustered. She thought that he could confront her over the matter, but he did not mention it at all.

Luke stepped out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth, washing his face, and changing his clothes.

Bianca went up next to him and said softly, "Luke, I have something to tell you..." "It's already in the past." Luke could see the guilt in her eyes. He was disappointed by what she did, but he was not going to reprimand her.

"You..." Bianca was surprised that he was not going to blame her for it.

She knew that the scandal had affected him negatively, and she had spent the entire night coming up with a speech so that she could minimize his anger. What shocked her the most was that Luke had no intention of blaming her!
