Chapter 1203 Beautiful Even Without Makeup

"Yeah, I was on a video call with Tommy," Luca said as she walked to the living room. She picked up a glass of water and finished drinking it.

Amur knew that Tommy was her son.

He felt a little more relaxed knowing that the person she was on a call with was her son. When he saw her finish her glass of water, he asked, "Are you going to the banquet tomorrow?" "Abel asked me to go, so I don't have a choice." Luca knew that Abel was somehow involved in why Luke asked her to attend.

Amur kept silent.

Luca asked, "Did you prepare what I asked you to?" "It's on the sofa." Amur jerked his chin to point at the sofa.

Luca saw a box on the sofa and smiled. She did not have time to pick a dress so she got Amur to help.

"Thanks." She did not open the box and walked straight to the bedroom.

"Do you want to try it on?” Amur asked.

"No." Luca shook her head, then suddenly turned to look at him. "When are you going on your mission?" "The day after tomorrow," Amur said.

"Okay." Luca nodded slightly, walked into her bedroom, and closed the door.

Amur stood there and was slightly in a trance. He did not mean to eavesdrop. He was just worried that Luca would be too involved with Luke.

Luca's priority should be to keep herself alert and stay away from Luke to ensure her safety.

If Luke and Luca got too close, Luca was the one who would be hurt in the end.

She was standing in opposition to Luke. Sooner or later, she would have to execute the order given by Abel. The closer they got, the deeper her feelings for him would be and the more pain she would be in after the mission was over.

Luca's bedroom was quiet. Amur sighed and went back to his bedroom.

Crawford Manor.

Tommy walked to the study, opened the door gently, and saw that Luke was busy.

"Daddy." He pouted and walked in.

Luke was a little dissatisfied when he saw that his youngest son had not slept yet. "It’s so late! Why haven't you gone to bed?" "Daddy, my hair is still wet. Can you blow-dry it for me?" Tommy said. In the past, the maid would help him dry his hair but it was late and she had already gone to bed, hence he asked his dad for help.

Luke noticed that Tommy's hair was still slightly wet, so he said, "Okay."

He stood up and held Tommy's hand as they headed for the bedroom.

Tommy sat on a small stool. He watched Luke take out the hairdryer, plug it in, and said with a smile, "Ms. Luca told me that I must dry my hair before I go to sleep. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered you." "Ms. Luca?" Luke's thumb was on the switch. He was taken aback when he heard what Tommy said. "You video called Luca tonight?" "Yes! I also secretly took a few screenshots. Ms. Luca is so beautiful!" Tommy picked up the tablet, opened the photo album, and handed it to Luke as though he was presenting him with a treasure.

Luke's breathing inexplicably hitched when he saw a photo of Luca. This was the first time he saw her without makeup. It was not that different from when she had light makeup on at work, but he thought that she looked even more beautiful without makeup.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Tommy asked when he saw that his father had not pressed on the switch after a while.

"Nothing." Luke turned on the hairdryer and helped Tommy dry his hair.

Tommy's hair was short, so it did not take too long to blow-dry it. After Luke put away the hairdryer, he held Tommy's tablet in one hand.

"Daddy?" Tommy did not understand his actions.

"It's late, go and rest," Luke said.

"What are you doing with my tablet?" Tommy stood up, puzzled by his actions.

"I don't want you to secretly watch cartoons at night, so I’m going to confiscate it temporarily. Go to bed. I’ll return it to you tomorrow morning," Luke said as he took the tablet and walked out of the bedroom.

Tommy pouted and looked discontented. If he knew that Luke would confiscate his tablet, he would not have shown him the photo.

Sure enough, when adults wanted something from children, they would have endless reasons and excuses.

After his bedroom door was closed, Tommy murmured, "Bad Daddy!"

He had wanted to take a good look at Luca before going to bed!

Luke took Tommy's tablet and walked back to the study. The moment he sat in the executive chair, he could not help but turn on the tablet.

Tommy has set a password on the tablet. He cracked it almost instantly. It was his birthday. The moment he unlocked the tablet, a photo of Luca appeared in front of him.

Luke frowned and stared at it for a while.

It was not until three minutes later that he snapped out of it and realized that he had been staring at the tablet screen for too long!

That was not normal...

Luke was in a complicated mood and turned off the tablet. However, he felt as though the photo had already imprinted into his mind. His head was filled with Luca.

"..." He looked at the computer screen and was unable to concentrate on his work, so he called Gale to check on the progress of the investigation.

The next day.

The first thing Tommy did when he woke up was to run to the study. Luke was still asleep.

"Daddy, Daddy, get up! Daddy!" He stood by the bed and repeated his words like a broken recorder.

Luke opened his eyes slightly and realized it was bright outside. He murmured and rolled over.

Tommy did not mean to wake him up. He placed both hands on the bed and said, "Daddy, return the tablet to me before you go back to sleep."

Luke closed his eyes and fumbled around the pillow. He found the tablet and handed it over.

Tommy took the tablet with a grin. When he tried to turn it on, he found that the tablet could not be turned on. Property © .

His smile disappeared instantly. He looked at Luke with his cheeks puffed out.

Luke's eyes were still closed. He only fell asleep early in the morning, so he had not gotten enough sleep yet.

"Bad Daddy, you broke my tablet! It won’t turn on!" Tommy frowned, tears rolling in his eyes.

"No." Luke put a hand on his forehead. Tommy's voice was disturbing his rest.

"You did!" Tommy accused him. "The tablet won't light up! Ahhhhh, Bad Daddy!"

He started crying and made a lot of noise.

Lanie heard the ruckus and walked in immediately. He looked at Tommy who was crying beside the bed and asked, "What happened?"

Tommy cried and said, "Brother, Daddy broke my tablet! Ahhh! He's a big bad wolf!"

Lanie picked up Tommy's tablet and glanced at it before looking at Luke, who was still sleeping. He said, "Maybe it ran out of battery?"

At that moment, Tommy stopped crying.

Lanie shook his head and walked out holding Tommy's hand. "Go try charging it. Don't disturb Daddy's rest."

He and Rainie could understand that Luke worked hard to provide for their family. Their naughty brother was the one who always disturbed Luke's rest.

However, no one held it against him because he was just a kid.
