Chapter 1315 Where's Luke?

Luca put Tommy's suitcase aside and said, "Mr. Crawford has tasked me to bring Tommy back from New York. Now that you're here, I shall leave the child in your hands."

It had been exactly one month since Bianca took the pill and fell ill. She had just been discharged from the hospital.

She could not help but be angry when she looked at Luca. It was because of her that she decided to take the pill.

She thought that taking the pill could make Luke pay attention to her, but Bianca had shown up abruptly with a herbal concoction. Taking the concoction daily had suppressed the effects of the pill, which made her feel a lot better.

However, it also meant that her plan had failed, not to mention that she had to suffer in vain for a few days. After her condition stabilized, Luke stopped caring about her and went on a business trip...

Bianca glared at the seemingly composed Luca. "You went on the business trip too?"

"I was there for a conference," Luca explained. Her reason for going to New York was different from Luke's purpose, and she hoped that Bianca would not misunderstand.

She could already sense that Bianca had feelings for Luke.

That was not supposed to happen when Abel had tasked her with a mission. If Abel knew about it, she would be punished.

Luca was not going to remind Bianca about that. After all, it was her choice.

"Were you together with Luke every day?" Bianca could not help but be jealous. No wonder Luke did not seem too enthusiastic whenever she had a video call with him.

Two weeks was not very long, but it was long enough to develop mutual affection!

Bianca sized up Luca, trying to see if she could glean something from her demeanor. She wanted to know if anything had happened between them.

Luca maintained her composure very well. Even her tone when speaking was flat...

Bianca stomped her foot angrily. Luca turned around and prepared to leave, knowing that Bianca would not harm Tommy when the driver was around.

"Where are you going?" Bianca asked.

"Mr. Crawford tasked me with bringing Tommy home. Now that the child is safely in your hands, my task is complete. I'm going home," Luca said as she opened the door of the cab.

Bianca felt uneasy whenever Luca said "Mr. Crawford." She asked, "Where's Luke then?"

Luca's movement paused abruptly. She turned her head and looked at Bianca.

Bianca was angry when Luca looked at her like that. "Are you deaf or dumb? I'm asking you where's Luke? Is he in the company?"

"Aren't you Mr. Crawford's wife? Why do you have to ask me where your husband is?" Luca did not want to argue with that woman when Tommy was watching, but she could not stop that woman from picking a fight with her.

That impostor had replaced her position by Luke's side for three years. Luca did not wish to talk to her. Belongs to - All rights reserved.

Bianca was taken aback by the question. She clenched her hands into fists.

Feeling the grip around his hand become tighter, Tommy frowned and pulled his hand away. "Daddy still has some work in New York."

Bianca was surprised to hear that. She looked at Tommy massaging his hand and realized that she had nearly lost her temper earlier.

She was supposed to be Luke's wife, but she did not know that he was still in New York. Her face burned with embarrassment when the other people stared at her.

Luca turned around and stepped into the cab. "Let's go," she told the driver.

When the driver heard that, he started the car and left.

Bianca stood there as the cab puffed a cloud of smoke on her. Trying to find a way out of the embarrassing episode, she roared at the driver, "Why are you still standing there?

Come and take Tommy's suitcase."

The driver picked up Tommy's suitcase and placed it on the back seat.

Bianca did not get back into the car. She opened the gate and said, "Let's go home, darling."

Tommy looked at the warm smile on Bianca's face and could not help but think that she was faking it.

He walked away without looking at her.

Bianca's outreached hand froze in mid-air. Her eyelids drooped and her gaze flashed with a hint of viciousness as she watched the child walk away from her.

She knew that Luca was the villain in her story. Tommy seemed to have grown even more distant from her after he was with Luca.

She could not bear to watch Luca snatch away everything that belonged to her. Luke was supposed to be hers. The children were hers, and the Crawford family too.

It did not matter if she liked it or not. They were all hers.

She watched Tommy continue to walk away. The child had never been clingy to her, but she could sense that he was becoming even more cold and distant.

Bianca blamed it all on Luca. She would have to think up a plan to stop Luca!

She quickly walked up to Tommy and asked him gently," How was New York?"

"It's no fun at all. I had to follow Daddy all day," Tommy said.

"You had to follow Daddy? Didn't he bring you to play?" Bianca did not believe what he said.

"Daddy is there for business, not to play." Tommy lifted his head and looked at Bianca with contempt.

His mother used to be gentle, empathic, and intelligent. Now, he could not bring himself to like that woman.

Bianca continued to ask, "If that's the case, is Daddy always in his office or the hotel?"

"Mm." Tommy nodded and quickly walked into the living room. He did not want to answer her questions.

Bianca wanted to ask if Luke had met up with Luca while in New York. Before she could ask the question, the child had already stepped into the house.

She could not continue with her questioning, so she also went into the house.

Tommy greeted everyone cheerfully after entering the living room. Bianca also greeted the people there.

The people in the living room seemed to be more excited about Tommy's return from New York than Bianca's discharge from the hospital.

Bianca could not help but feel frustrated when she saw Old Master Crawford holding Tommy's hands and asking him questions.

Old Master Crawford asked Tommy the same questions as she did, but Tommy answered them in far greater detail.

Tommy's attitude toward his great-grandfather was totally different from that toward her.

Does he even think that I'm his mother?' She thought.

Bianca coughed deliberately to announce her presence.

Old Master Crawford turned his head to look at her. "Are you feeling unwell, Bea? Why don't you stay at the hospital for a few more days? There are children in the house. You'd better not spread your germs to them."
