"Daddy, why don't you team up with me?" Rainie invited him.

Since Luke did not know how to play the game, Lanie and Tommy would likely take the opportunity to bully him.

Rainie wanted to help him to maintain a good image in front of their mommy.

"Okay." Luke agreed to his daughter's invitation and sat next to Rainie.

Tommy liked this kind of warm parent-child time. He touched the dice and said, "Daddy, Rainie, let's start the game."

Luca glanced at Luke. She did not expect him to skip work so that he could play such a boring game with the kids.

Sure enough, he was a good father.

He cared so much about the children. No matter what happened in the future, she felt at ease leaving them to him.

"Okay." Luca went along with the children's wishes.

Tommy threw the dice and started the game.

With Rainie's help, Luke played for one round and understood how to play the game.

An hour later, Tommy pouted and said, "I don't want to play anymore. Daddy is bullying me!"

"Is that so?" Luke calmly counted his property cards.

"You've stolen a lot of properties from me. Daddy, have you heard of respecting the old and loving the young? I'm a child. You should give me some leeway. Otherwise, others might say that you're bullying children." Tommy looked at the cards in his hands angrily.

"These aren't mine." Luke looked at his son's puffed-up face, burst into joy, and shoved the cards into Rainie's hands. "These are the cards that your sister won."

Rainie could not help but be amused when she saw her brother's reaction. “Tommy, let's play again. This time, I'll let you win."

"Really?" Tommy glanced at Luca.

She gave them all of her property cards but Luke won them back. Then somehow, the cards were returned to her.

In the end, Tommy discovered that he was the first to go bankrupt.

"Really. Let's reassign the cards." Rainie put away the cards in the hands of the other three and began to count.

"I don't want to play with Daddy this round. All Daddy does is bully kids," Tommy complained.

Luke raised his eyebrows and said innocently, "Is that so?"

Tommy accused him, "You did do so!"

"Okay, you can play." Luke teased his youngest son. He was in a great mood.

A new round of games began.

After one round, Tommy still lost.

Tommy looked at the only card left in his hand, pouted, and said, "Lanie and Rainie bullied me. Ms. Luca is the only one looking out for me."

Luca looked at the few cards left in her hand and smiled helplessly.

"We're playing a game. Of course, we must be fair," Lanie said. He looked at the cards he won and grinned happily. Têxt © .

Tommy refused to admit defeat. "No, let's go again. I'll win the next round."

Aunt Neile knocked on the bedroom door when they were about to start a new round of games. "Sir, Ms. Craw, young masters, young lady, it's time for lunch."

Luca glanced at the watch in her hand. Before she knew it, it was already lunchtime.

The children had to give in.

After all, they had to eat lunch obediently or they would be scolded.

Luke and Luca accompanied the children for lunch.

At the kids' request, Luca coaxed the three children to sleep. She could not help but reach out and touch the kids' foreheads.

They were all her babies...

Luca left the bedroom and saw Luke sitting in the living room on the second floor. She walked over and asked, "Mr. Crawford, where are you going tonight?"

"Norman Residence," Luke said.

'The Norman Residence?' Luca was worried. "Is Aunt Queenie feeling unwell?"

"No." Luke looked at Luca, who was so worried about Mr. and Mrs. Norman's health. He felt sad that she had to put in so much effort to hide her feelings for them!

"My father-in-law wants to treat you to a meal. At the same time, he also wants you to check my mother-in-law's pulse and see how she's doing recently," he explained. When he wanted to set up a dinner appointment, Jack mentioned for them to eat at home instead of heading to a hotel.

Moreover, he made it clear that he wanted to see Luca.

After all, she was his biological daughter. No matter how resolute Jack was, he cared deeply about his biological daughter.

"In that case, there's no problem." Luca breathed a sigh of relief when she found out there was nothing wrong with Queenie. She asked, "Are the children going?"

"No. They're going back to Crawford Manor to accompany Old Master Crawford for dinner tonight," Luke said. Although Queenie missed the kids very much, with the children there, it was hard for them to have certain conversations.

"Okay..." Luca wondered why Luke did not intend to bring the children.

After all, they were the grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Norman. It was not a problem to bring the kids with them.

However, she respected Luke's decision and did not say anything.

Evening.

Zander came over and took the kids to Crawford Manor. They had no problem with Luca and Luke going to Norman Residence and them going to Crawford Manor for dinner.

Luke told them that they were staying at Crawford Manor that night and he would take Luca back to Crawford Manor the day after.

The children readily agreed to these arrangements as long as it was not a prolonged separation.

After the kids left, Luke drove Luca to Norman Residence.

After they arrived at Norman Residence, only Queenie and the maid were there.

Queenie knew early in the morning that Luke would come over for dinner, but she was a little surprised to see him bring Luca.

"Luke, Luca, you're here." She concealed her consternation and stepped forward to greet her guests gently. However, she kept thinking about how in the past few months, Luke would always bring Luca with him whenever he came over.

'He no longer cares about Bianca... It seems he's bringing Luca over here to win my and Jack's heart so that when he and Luca announce their marriage, we'd accept it readily?'

"Mother-in-law, I brought Dr. Craw here to check on your pulse." Luke closed the car door and explained to Queenie.

He told Jack not to inform Queenie in advance that he would be bringing Luca with him.

When he saw Queenie's stunned expression, he knew that Jack did not mention anything to her.

"I'm in good health. We don't have to trouble Luca," Queenie said. Although Luca was very kind to her, she was selfish and could not help but side with Bianca.

Luca smiled awkwardly. She noticed Queenie's disapproving tone and did not take it to heart because she understood why she acted as such.

"Aunt Queenie, Mr. Crawford cares greatly about your health, so he brought me here," Luca explained. She felt a little helpless to be rejected by her biological mother.

"Is that so? It's cold outside. Come in quickly." Since she was there, Queenie did not think that it was right to get Luke to shoo her away. Hence, she could only greet them and get them inside.

She even asked Leia to stay in a hotel when she knew that Luke would come over for dinner so that Luke would not find out about her.
