Tommy was unwilling to be outdone and said, "Ms. Luca is more beautiful than a fairy princess! In my heart, Ms. Luca is the most beautiful woman in this universe! Brother, what do you think?"
Lanie, who was named, nodded nonchalantly. In his heart, his mother was indeed the most beautiful woman in this universe.
The smile in Luca's eyes deepened as she listened to the compliments from the children. She enjoyed being with her children more than anything.
She touched the children's heads and asked, "Are you hungry? There are refreshments here. I'll have them send some over?"
"Yay!" The children clapped their hands. They were picked up by Zander from school and had not had anything to eat yet.
Luca picked up the landline nearby, dialed the service desk, and told them to bring some refreshments.
There was a knock on the door of the lounge as soon as she hung up the phone.
Luca went to open the door and found that it was the maid from the Crawford family. When she saw Luca, the maid asked with a smile, "Ms. Craw, I heard from Zander that the kids are with you?"
Luca nodded. "Yes, they're all inside."
The maid said respectfully, "That's great. I brought their clothes. Can I take them in and have them change into them?"
"Come in," Luca stepped aside.
The maid walked in, saw the children sitting on the sofa, and said, "Young Master Blanche, Ms. Rainie, Young Master Tommy, I've brought the clothes you chose this morning. Hurry up and change into them."
When the children heard her, they immediately stepped forward and took their respective bags.
They were the children of the Crawford family, so they had to be well dressed for Old Master Crawford's birthday banquet. The children took their clothes one by one, from big to small. Then, they went into the bathroom to get changed.
Lanie came out with a mini bow tie in his hand.
Seeing that, the maid thought he did not know how to tie it and hurried forward while saying, "Young Master Blanche, let me help you with that."
Lanie took a step back and looked at Luca. He seemed a little shy as he said, "I want Ms. Luca to help me."
Luca, who was named, was stunned. She did not expect Lanie to make such a request.
Lanie was independent. He had already learned to tie a bow tie before she was kidnapped, but now, he seemed to want to get closer to her.
Luca nodded as she stepped forward to help him tie his bow tie.
Tommy was waiting for Rainie to get dressed. When he saw that, Tommy quickly said, "Ms. Luca, Ms. Luca, I want you to help me tie my bow tie too."
Luca looked at him and nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll wait for you to change into your suit."
The maid watched the scene unfold. Lanie, who had always been very capable, also approached Luca first. She could not help but sigh. "Ms. Craw, you're a kid magnet. They seem to like you very much."
Luca nodded with a smile on her face but said nothing.
'How can my children not like me?'
Luca felt sorry for missing out on the period when they were growing up and not being able to openly admit that she was their mother when she saw how much they relied on her.
She could only use the identity of Luca to accompany them. She was unsure when she would disappear from their lives.
Luca remembered the man watching her in the parking lot when she got out of Luke's car and wondered if he was one of Abel's men.
Come to think of it, she had not heard from Abel in a few days...
While she was deep in thought, Rainie came out from the dressing room. She had changed into a long pink lace dress and looked like a princess who came out of a storybook.
She walked to Luca's side and snuggled up to her while calling out, "Ms. Luca."
Luca snapped out of it, looked at her daughter, and patted her head with a smile. "What's the matter, dear?"
"Ms. Luca, you look so beautiful today. I like your hairstyle. Can you do my hair like that too?" Rainie asked.
"The same hairstyle?" Luca felt a little uncomfortable with that request. After all, she was not Rainie's mother right now.
If she were still Bianca, she would have no problem with having the same hairstyle as her daughter. However, she was just a guest of the Crawford family. If she went out with the same hairstyle as Rainie, others might gossip...
Rainie blinked her eyes and said innocently, "Ms. Luca, your hairstyle looks good. I want to wear this hairstyle too."
Luca looked at Rainie's big watery eyes and her heart softened. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you do your hair. Do you have any tools with you?"
"Yes. Ms. Rainie asked me to pack them and take them with me before she left for school. Here! I'm just not sure if they're enough, though." The maid hurriedly handed over another bag.
Luca looked at the accessories in the bag. Rainie had put all her favorite accessories in it.
She saw that there were several hair clips that she had given to Rainie before she was kidnapped.
The hair clips were luxury goods, so they still looked new after a few years.
"Ms. Luca, can you do it?" Rainie asked.
"It should be possible. I'll try my best. Someone else did my hair so I can only do a similar one. Is that okay?" Luca asked for Rainie's opinion.
"Okay! Ms. Luca." Rainie smiled sweetly, and the unease in her eyes dissipated after she got Luca's affirmative answer.
By the time Luca picked up the tools and was about to do Rainie's hair, Tommy got dressed up and came out.
Luca could not help but laugh out loud. She asked him to come to her side when she saw her youngest son looking like a mini adult after he put on his suit. "Come here, Tommy. I'll help you tie your bow tie."
Tommy happily walked over to her.
Luca picked up the bow tie and helped him tie it. Tommy looked at how carefully she was tying his bow tie and muttered in a low voice, "If only you could help me tie the bow tie every day..."
Luca touched his head and said nothing.
She also wanted to take care of them in person every day but reality did not allow for it. Original from .
Luca inevitably felt melancholic when she thought of that.
She picked up the comb and started to brush Rainie's hair.
She divided Rainie's hair into different areas and started to braid her hair like how Nina did previously. While she was occupied, she secretly rejoiced that the hairdo that Nina did for her was not complicated. Otherwise, Rainie would be disappointed.
Lanie watched as Luca carefully braided her sister's hair. He picked up his phone, filmed the scene, and sent it to Luke.
Luke was greeting the guests when his phone vibrated. He picked it up, opened the text, and saw Luca combing Rainie's hair. His heart was warm.
The scene was heart-warming and left a deep impression on his heart.
Luke had an urge to let Louis be in charge of greeting the guests for the rest of the night so he could walk into the lounge and feel the peace at that moment.
However, he knew that if he did that, Louis would protest.
Luke shook his head. He had to suppress the urge and continue to greet the guests who had arrived.
