Luke would never call if there was nothing.
Queenie signaled Leia, who was sitting beside her, to be quiet. She told her not to speak. Then, she answered the call. “Luke, what’s the matter?”
Leia, who was sitting beside her, was already feeling uneasy. She got even more restless when she heard Luke’s name. Why was this man calling at this time?!
Could it be that he had already found out she had sneaked back here…
Leia was listening to the call while comforting herself at the same time. She had found an agency to help her. The agency’s people had been forging her traces to show that she was still in New York.
Hence, Luke should not have noticed anything amiss. He was so busy. How could he keep an eye on her?
While Leia was comforting herself, Qunnie was worried too.
On the other end of the phone, Luke said, “Mother, Tommy told me he’s missing his grandmother. I’m planning to bring the kids over for dinner with you and Father. Is that alright?”
Queenie glanced at Leia when she heard that. “Today?”
“Yes, the kids have a school holiday tomorrow. They can stay a little longer,” Luke said. He looked like he was asking for their opinion but he had already decided to head to the Norman family’s house.
“Sure. I’ll ask the maids to make preparations.” Queenie had no reason to reject him.
After the call ended, Leia said unhappily, “Mom, how could you agree? Isn’t he going to find out that I’m here if he brings the kids over?”
Queenie’s expression was complicated. She had obviously thought about that too. “You only have to hide in your room and not make any noises. Everything will be fine.”
“His kids are annoying. They keep running around. What if they run into my bedroom? You shouldn’t have agreed to let him come over,” Leia muttered. Previously, she was in love with Luke and thought he was perfect.
However, fear and hatred were all she had for him now.
If it had not been for Luke and Bianca, she would not have ended up like this today.
The point was, Queenie obviously sided with them…
“You can lock your bedroom from inside. Now that they’ve grown up, they’re sweet and nice. They won’t find out if you don’t come out.” Queenie felt uncomfortable after listening to her complaints.
Among her three grandchildren, her favorite was Lanie. She could not reject Luke when he said he was going to bring the kids over. Queenie was comforting Leia, who was worried, and was sending a message to the maid at the same time. Queenie asked her to head to the market to get some groceries.
Then, she informed Jack about it.
They were already old. Although Jack had not officially retired, he was the same as her. They wanted to indulge in family love and joy.
Hence, the husband and wife would definitely be happy when they heard the kids were coming for dinner.
Leia was unhappy, but other than that, she felt resentful when she saw how delighted Queenie was.
She did not say anything more.
The doctor Queenie had made an appointment with quickly made arrangements when they arrived at the hospital. He took a few tubes of Leia’s blood and gave her a CT scan. As the blood test result would not be out so soon, he asked them to come again on the following day. copyrighted © content.
On the other hand.
Luke received a message from Johann.
He told him that Leia had arrived at their hospital and was doing a blood test. Johann was looking at several check-up test reports, and he raised his eyebrows.
It was related to liver and kidneys, even gynecological.
Luca went to the Norman family’s house today. It seemed like it was Queenie who invited her over. Come to think of it, it must be because of Leia’s health issues. Queenie only wanted to help Leia.
Luke opened his contacts and called Luca.
Luca had just arrived at the apartment at this moment. She hesitated for a few seconds when she saw that it was Luke calling her. She ultimately decided to answer.
“Hello, Mr. Crawford.” She still sounded careful.
“Are you free tonight?” Luke asked right away.
Luca was standing in the hallway and opening the shoe cabinet when she heard his question. She paused for a moment when she was about to change her shoes. Was the man who just asked her to get a good rest and not simply wander off now planning to take her somewhere?
“What’s the matter?” She did not answer him right away. She could choose not to answer her boss’ questions as it was not working hours now…
“I’d like you to accompany me to a place tonight,” Luke said. Knowing that she might reject him, he added again, “Lanie will be there too. He told me he misses you.”
Lanie missed her…
Luca let out a sigh. Her heart always softened when it came to the children.
“Alright.” She agreed.
Luke told her the time and she agreed. “I’ll come pick you up at five-thirty in the evening.”
The next thing Luca heard was the busy tone from the other end of the call.
Luke was always quick to end the conversation when he was on the phone. She was a little dazzled. She even doubted that the phone call was just an illusion.
If it were him alone, she could stand her ground and reject him.
However, she realized that she could not reject him if he brought up the children. After all, they were her own flesh and blood…
Only after a person had become a mother would she realize that her will and determination were much stronger than she thought.
It was like when she realized she was pregnant on the Island of Despair. She was able to stay strong until now only because of Nyla…
Luca put her phone back in her pocket and changed into her slippers. She sat on the couch and stared into space for a while.
She arrived at the residence’s entrance on time when it was five-thirty in the evening.
Luke’s car drove slowly toward her and stopped beside her.
Luca opened the car door of the back passenger seat and realized the three kids were already sitting in the backseat. They greeted her when they saw her. “Good evening, Ms. Luca.”
“Good evening.” Luca felt a sense of warmth flowing into her heart when she looked at how sweet the three of them were.
Since they had taken the back seat, she could only sit in the passenger seat.
Luca closed the door, pulled the passenger door open, and got in.
Luke did not ask Uncle Zander to drive this time. Instead, he chose to drive himself. He started the car after waiting for her to fasten the seat belt.
Tommy got excited the moment he saw Luca. It had been a long time since he met Luca. The reason was simple. Their father told them that Luca had gone traveling, so he asked them not to disturb her.
Tommy had no choice but to endure his yearning to message her on Instagram.
Now that he had seen her, Tommy began to become talkative again. “Ms. Luca, did you just come back from your travels?”
“Yes, I just came back from my trip.” Luca leaned on the car seat and looked at the kids through the rearview mirror.
If it were not because the three of them were sitting at the back, she would definitely sit at the back and take a good look at her sons and daughter.
Rainie asked, “Ms. Luca, was it fun there? Daddy told us that he’d bring us there, but he still hasn’t fulfilled his promise. He brought Ms. Luca there instead.”
