Luca listened to the kids complaining about how Luke had forgotten his promise and brought her there instead.
She was a little embarrassed. After all, it was not like she traveled with Luke to have fun with him.
“You can still go there. Your whole family can go there during the holidays,” said Luca.
Tommy asked, “Can you travel with us when the time comes, Ms. Luca?”
Luca did not expect the child to take the initiative to invite her. She was startled for a moment. She glanced at the kids and said, “Let’s talk about this later.”
“I want to go with Ms. Luca, and I want to go with Sis too. It’d be much more interesting compared to traveling with Daddy,” Tommy said while blinking his eyes.
Luke was given the cold shoulder, but he did not say anything. He continued to drive as if the person his child was embarrassing was not him.
Luca was speechless. She did not expect the kids to embarrass him in front of him.
Rainie said, “Daddy is busy with work every day. He would even bring his documents along with him when we travel. We can only wait for Daddy to finish settling all his documents if we want to travel with him. It’s no fun when we have to spend most of the time in the hotel.”
“Yes, yes. It’d be great if Ms. Luca can join us and bring us to have fun,” Tommy continued.
Luca thought it would be bad to turn the kids down. She could only brush them off. “Perhaps if we get the chance.”
“Ms. Luca, does that mean you agree?” Tommy asked excitedly with his sparkling eyes.
Luca knew she had not promised them but she could not turn the kids down in front of them either. She could only say, “If there’s a chance—”
“There definitely will be. We’ll wait till the winter holidays and you can travel with us. I don’t want to travel with my workaholic daddy.” There was a hint of contempt in Tommy’s words.
Luca smiled.
Blanche, who was beside him, reminded him. “Won’t you go to calligraphy classes during the winter holidays?”
Tommy had been asking to attend hobby classes recently. When Old Master Crawford realized he was not as steady as Lanie, he decided to send him to calligraphy classes during the winter holidays.
Tommy had agreed with it too.
He was stunned for a moment after he was reminded about that. He still wanted to travel with Luca, so he said, “I won’t be going to calligraphy class every day. I only want to travel with Ms. Luca.”
Luca smiled when she listened to Tommy acting like a spoiled child.
Lanie looked at her gentle face and was lost in thought. He always had a familiar feeling whenever she smiled…
Luke did not say anything. He parked the car in front of the gate of the Norman family’s residence.
Luca noticed that, and she turned to look at him. “Mr. Crawford, are we…”
“My mother-in-law’s health has improved a lot. But I’m still a little worried. I happen to be bringing the kids here for dinner today, so I was thinking of asking you to check her pulse to see if there’s any
problem,” Luke explained. He pushed the car door open and pressed the doorbell of the Norman family’s villa.
Luca had just come this morning and Queenie’s complexion was fine. There was no problem at all.
They watched the maid open the gate to let them drive into the villa. Luca was wondering how she was going to explain why she came together with Luke.
Luke got back into the car and drove the car in. Then, he parked his car in the parking lot in front of the front yard.
“You can get out now,” he said.
Tommy cheered, and he was the first to push the door open. He jumped out of the car. Luca could only bite the bullet and get out of the car too.
The Norman family’s maid could not help but be confused when she saw Luca getting out of the car. She just came this morning, right? Why was she here again, and she even took Luke’s car here. “Ms. Luca?”
“Hello,” Luca greeted her politely.
The maid was still confused, but she did not ask anything. She led them into the house.
Queenie was delighted when she saw Luke and the kids walking into the house. She was startled for a moment when she saw Luca. Then, she went back to normal immediately. She asked, “Luke, you’re here. Luca came too?”
“Yes. Mr. Crawford is worried about your health, so he brought me here to take your pulse and check on your health condition,” Luca said without mentioning what had happened in the morning.
Queenie smiled gently. “I feel much better. Save the trouble next time. Stay with us for dinner since you’re here.”
Luca wanted to leave after taking her pulse. When she was about to reject her, Luke said, “Take her pulse first.”
Queenie shook her head. “There’s no need to. Don’t bother about it. I’m fine.”
“Grandma, Daddy is just worried about your health. Let Ms. Luca take your pulse,” Rainie said in a caring voice.
Queenie nodded her head and sat down. Then, she placed her arm on the coffee table.
Luca sat down beside her and began to take her pulse.
Queenie’s pulse was much more stable, and the major health problem was gone. She said, “Aunt Queenie, you’re very healthy. But you have low blood pressure, right? Remember to take more supplements to nourish your body. Stop eating food that can decrease your blood pressure.”
“Alright, alright.” Queenie felt a warmth in her heart while listening to her reminders. “I told you I’m fine. Save the trouble next time.”
Luke looked at Queenie’s kind face. Half of Bianca’s personality was from her. She was gentle and kind. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
However, Bianca had a clear mind compared to Queenie. She would never get soft-hearted with the person who had hurt her, but Queenie…
Luke looked in the direction of the stairs. Leia must be hiding upstairs…
“I asked Dr. Craw to take your pulse just to make sure that you’re fine. It’ll give us peace of mind too. Dr. Craw is still on holiday, so it won’t be a bother to her,” Luke said. When Although Queenie said that she could not bear to trouble Luca, she still asked her to head to her house to help treat Leia’s health issues. Bianca would never have said something so hypocritical.
It was because Queenie was getting old. A gentle person would become even more tolerating when they got older.
“Where’s Father?” he asked.
Tommy, who was beside, asked too, “Yes, Grandma. Where’s Grandpa? I’ve already figured out the answer to the question he gave me last time.”
“He has an important meeting today, so he’s going to be late. But he just called. He’ll be back within half an hour. He’s happy that you’ve brought the kids here for dinner.” Queenie stroked the faces of the three kids. They had grown taller after not seeing them for a while.
“Alright, then I’ll sit on the couch and wait for him.” Lanie sat down sensibly.
Tommy asked, “Grandma, can I go upstairs to play?”
Queenie loved her grandchildren so much that she built a toy room for them upstairs. The room was full of toys. It was for them to play whenever they came here.
However, the toy room was right beside Leia’s bedroom.
