Tommy could not help but exclaim, "I'm so full."

Aunt Neile was cleaning up the dishes and chuckled when she heard the child's words. "With Ms. Craw here, Ms. Rainie and the young masters are not picky eaters at all."

Luca patted Tommy's head. "Go walk around the living room okay? Aunt Neile will cut fruit for you later."

"Okay, Ms. Luca." Tommy had always been hyperactive, so walking around was not a difficult task for him.

Luca looked toward Lanie, who also ate a lot today.

Lanie took the initiative to say, "Don't worry, Ms. Luca. I'll walk around to digest the food too."

"Ms. Luca, I don't need to, right?" said Rainie as she was a girl, and her appetite was not very big. Although the meal Luca made was delicious, she did not eat as much as her brothers.

The food on the table was mostly eaten by Lanie and Tommy.

Luca shook her head. Girls were more concerned about their bodies and diet, so Rainie did not eat much.

Rainie stood up and said, "Ms. Luca, help me pick out the tutu I'm going to wear for tomorrow's performance."

"Sure." Luca remembered her promise, and Rainie took the initiative to hold her hand. Both of them walked out of the dining room.

The moment Luca looked down, she saw the child smiling sweetly at her.

Luca's heart warmed up, and she did not want to let go of Rainie's hand.

The two of them walked into the bedroom.

Luca looked at the tutus on Rainie's bed and asked, "What dance are you performing tomorrow?"

Rainie said, "The Nutcracker."

Luca stroked her chin as she let go of Rainie's hands and held up the tutus in front of her.

"Ms. Luca, do you watch ballet performances?" Rainie stood there, letting her hold up the tutus in front of her.

Luca said, "I do, but not a lot. I've seen the show you're performing, though."

After saying that, she decided on a tutu. "What do you think of this one?"

Rainie picked up the tutu and stood in front of the mirror to see what it looked like. She then beamed with delight. “Ms. Luca, you have great taste."

Luca smiled when she received the compliment from the child and turned to look for accessories on Rainie's dresser. "How about putting this on?"

"It looks good!" Rainie approved of her choice.

"I'll be looking forward to your performance tomorrow." Luca touched her soft cheeks.

Rainie had grown up to become as fair as snow.

How pretty.

In a few years, Nyla on the Island of Despair would probably grow up to become like Rainie.

"Ms. Luca, can I ask you for a favor?" Rainie stared at her.

"Just tell me. As long as it's within my abilities, I'll definitely help you," Luca promised.

"Take some photos for me when you watch the performance tomorrow. I want to show them to Daddy," said Rainie as she remembered that her mom and dad were both there when she entered a competition a few years ago.

Her mom held a camera and recorded her beautiful moments on stage.

At that time, she was the happiest little princess in the whole world.

Now...

Rainie smiled and begged her.

"Of course, it's no problem. You're so beautiful and you dance so well. I'll definitely record it," Luca promised. "I can't use a phone, so I'll go look for my camera."

With that, she stood up.

Rainie said, "Okay, Ms. Luca. I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry. I'll take care of it. I'll go look for my camera first. It's been a long time since I've used it." Luca walked out of Rainie's room after she finished talking.

Rainie's words brought back her memories from the past.

Her life with Luke and the kids was a happy one.

Luca walked back to her room and found her camera in the cabinet.

She bought this camera not too long after she left the island. She did not know how long she would be staying here, so she wanted to take photos of the scenery in A City. When she returned to the island, she could show Nyla how A City looked like.

It was the place where she and her father fell in love.

Luca also wanted to capture Luke's appearance so that Nyla would know what her father looked like and as a reminder for herself too.

She did not expect so many things to happen.

She simply had no way of getting a close-up shot of Luke, nor did she have the free time to capture the scenery of A City.

The few photos in the camera were taken when she first returned to A City. Afterward, she got so busy she did not even have the time to pick up the camera.

Luca looked at the photos in the camera. She was not a professional, so she could only go by her feeling.

Everything was poorly photographed, but the photos showcased the real deal. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

She took photos of life in A City to tell Nyla that the world outside of the Island of Despair was beautiful.

She would work hard to bring her child out of that gray world.

Luca picked up a tissue to wipe the camera and placed it on the dresser so that she can take it with her when she headed out tomorrow.

When she was ready to go downstairs, she received a message from Luke.

[Have you eaten?]

Luca sat down and replied: [I've eaten.]

[I received the photo Tommy sent.]

Luca was at a loss for words. If he had received the photo, then why did he still ask her?

Perhaps he sensed Luca's loss for words after she did not reply for half a minute. He sent her another message: [The meal you made looks good. Can you make some for me when I get back?]

Luca's fingers trembled. The tone in his words sounded like it was a request, yet it also sounded like a normal conversation between a couple.

His face filled her mind, which made it impossible for her to calm down.

She replied with a single word: [Okay.]

She felt it was not enough, so she replied again: [I'm going downstairs to watch cartoons with them for a while.]

Cartoons were Tommy's favorite. Lanie and Rainie watched them too. At this time, they would usually sit on the couch and watch cartoons.

Luca placed the phone on the dresser and went downstairs.

As expected, the three kids were watching TV on the couch.

Aunt Neile brought out the cut fruit. “Have some fruit."

“Thank you, Aunt Neile," the three children thanked Aunt Neile.

Luca glanced at the time and said to Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, thank you. It's getting late. You should go home."

Aunt Neile nodded. "Alright, I'll be leaving now. Ms. Craw, Young Master Blanche, Young Master Tommy, Ms. Rainie, get an early rest."

"Aunt Neile, go home safely," said Rainie kindly.

Aunt Neile smiled as she put on her coat and left the villa.

Luca walked next to the couch to sit down and watch cartoons with them.

Tommy snuggled up to her. He took a slice of apple with his fork and held it in front of Luca's mouth.

"Ms. Luca, have some fruit."
