Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1137- Jasmine Langdon
Tommy lay on his bed. He was on a video call with Luca.
Luca looked at Tommy on her phone screen, wishing that the joy she experienced in the past two days could last forever.
However, she was now Luca and not Bianca. She could not be by her children's side for too long.
Seeing that Tommy was yawning, Luca said softly. "It's getting late. You should go to bed." "I hope that I can sleep with you, Ms. Luca," Tommy pouted and said coyly. He remembered that he had slept soundly by her side the night before, and he wanted to experience that again.
"You're a big boy now. You have to be independent," Luca said.
She also wished that she could be by her children's side, but that was an impossibility for now!
Tommy blinked and looked at her gentle demeanor. "Ms. Luca, when I decide to forgive Daddy in a few days, I'll let him know that I want you as my godmother!" "We'll talk about this next time. You still have school tomorrow. You'd better sleep soon," Luca said.
Tommy nodded and reluctantly ended the video call. As he lay on the bed, he thought of how he should introduce Luca to his elder siblings.
He decided that he would ask Lanie and Rainie to join in the video call tomorrow.
As her phone screen darkened, Luca sighed inaudibly. She went to clean up her house. When she saw the yogurt and milk in the fridge, she sighed again.
She had bought all those drinks for Tommy, but she had forgotten to tell him to take them along with him when he left.
Luca closed the fridge door, went back to her bedroom, and fell on the bed. She flipped to her side and touched the empty space where Tommy had slept the night before. "It would be great if I could spend another night with him."
However, she knew that she should not indulge herself with such thoughts.
The bedroom light was blinding her, so she turned the light off. In the dark and silent night, her tears suddenly started flowing again.
Luca stayed at home for the next three days.
When she ran out of food, she went out of her house to replenish supplies.
She went to the nearby supermarket and found that it was closed for renovations. With no other choice, she had to take a cab to another supermarket in the downtown area.
She got out of the car and looked at her surroundings. Many things had changed in the past three years, and she was not familiar with the place.
Luca had the idea to go around shopping.
She went into a shopping mall and bought several shirts for work. Then, she took the escalator upstairs.
As she wandered around the mall, she found herself in the children's section.
There were many clothes and toys for children. Luca suddenly had the urge to buy some.
Whenever she touched the clothes, she would pull her hand back and sigh. She could not reunite with the three children, and Nyla was not with her. There was no one for her to buy clothes for.
A sales clerk saw that and enthusiastically went up to her. "Are you buying clothes for a child?" "Mm." Luca nodded.
The sales clerk said, "These are the latest designs in our store. All sizes are available, and they fit children from one to ten years old."
The colorful array of children's clothing made Luca even more dejected.
She shook her head and said, "I'm just looking. You don't have to worry about me." "Alright then, you can call me if you need anything." The sales clerk left.
Luca stayed in that section for quite a while. She imagined that Nyla would love the clothes here.
The cloth and sewing materials on the Island of Despair were mostly drab colors. There was no aesthetic sense to Nyla's clothes.
"Ow!" While Luca was lost in thought, a little girl ran over and bumped into her.
She steadied herself and looked at the little girl sprawled on the floor. She helped her up and asked her, "Are you okay?"
There was a red spot on the girl's forehead. She started bawling.
When Luca wanted to comfort her, she heard the voice of a woman. "I told you not to run around, Jasmine, but you don't listen."
Luca was shocked. She turned her head and saw that the voice belonged to Nina.
Nina came over, picked up the crying little girl, and smiled apologetically at Luca. "I'm sorry, I should have kept a closer eye on her. Are you hurt?"
Luca shook her head. She felt a lump in her throat when she saw her best friend. "I'm fine." "Boo hoo, it hurts," little Jasmine complained as she pressed her forehead.
Nina gently rubbed the little girl's forehead. "It's painful, right? That's why I told you not to run around." "Aunt Nina..." Jasmine slumped on Nina's shoulder, and her crying ceased." I won't do that anymore," she said coyly.
'Aunt Nina?'
Luca guessed that the child must be Jean's daughter.
Jean must have been released from prison. Luca became quite emotional when she thought of what happened in the past.
Seeing that the little girl had stopped crying, Nina turned to look at Luca."
Are you really alright? I thought I saw your stumble when the girl bumped into you. You're not hurt anywhere, right?" "I'm really fine. Don't worry about it." Luca tried to compose herself so that Nina could not hear that she was about to cry.
She missed everything in A City, including her family and friends.
"That's good." Nina thought that the woman in front of her looked familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen that face. "Right, have we met before?" "I believe this is the first time we've met," Luca smiled and said while hiding the shock in her heart.
Nina nodded.
Jasmine tugged her collar impatiently and said, "Let's go and meet Mr. Handsome, Aunt Nina!"
The "Mr. Handsome" she was referring to was Luke.
Brilliant Architectural Design was involved in an event in the mall. Luke, as the person in charge behind the scenes, was in attendance. Jasmine admired him. When she knew that Luke would be at the mall, she insisted on coming to meet him.
Nina gently poked the girl's nose and said, "Alright, I'll bring you to meet him."
Jasmine was the daughter of her elder brother. After being released from prison, Jean saved Anna's life through a liver transplant. After that, he slept with a woman he met in a nightclub and impregnated her.
The resulting child was Jasmine.
Jean did not know how to be a father. He often neglected her. At the same time, he was also addicted to gambling.
Eventually, he accumulated a huge debt, and Nina was not willing to shoulder the debt for him. He had no choice but to run away, and he left his daughter in Anna's care.
Anna was not fond of girls. Nina took pity on the little girl, so she took her in and treated her as her daughter.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1136- The Mysterious Benefactor
Tommy looked at the snacks in his hands and pouted. "Ms. Luca, after I go home, will I ever get to see you again?"
Luca thought for a while. She wanted to meet the child in the future too. She took a piece of notepaper and wrote her phone number on it. "This is my phone number. If you miss me, you are welcome to call me any time. We can also have a video call. What do you think?" "This is great!" Tommy grinned. He had a phone, but he did not bring it in case they were able to track his location with it.
Luca was reluctant for Tommy to leave, and she knew that her reluctance was growing by the minute. She opened the door and said, "Let's go."
Tommy held her hand, and the two people went downstairs.
When they stepped out of the elevator, Luca noticed the bodyguards in black suits. She asked Tommy, "Is that one of your Daddy's men?"
Tommy could recognize a few of them. He nodded and said, "Yes!" "Go then. Be a good boy, alright?" Luca could guess that his father would scold him when he returned home.
"Aren't you sending me over there?” Tommy looked at her reluctantly.
"I don't think I should. I'll just watch you from here." Luca let go of Tommy's hand. She did not want the bodyguards to tell Luke about her.
Tommy could only walk over alone while frequently turning back to look at her.
Luca waved at him. She only left after seeing Tommy return to the bodyguard's side.
Those people shall not know about her.
The bodyguards asked Tommy many questions, though Tommy did not answer them. When he turned his head again, Luca was already gone.
Tommy felt very dejected.
The bodyguards noticed that Tommy was feeling down. They asked," What's wrong, Master Tommy? Are you feeling unwell?" "No." Tommy felt a little better after looking at the snacks in his hands and thought about the phone number in his pocket. "I'm tired. Bring me home." "Yes!" The bodyguards were relieved that they found the boy. They escorted him to the car while informing Jason about it.
Jason relayed the news that Tommy was found to Luke.
Luke instantly abandoned his work and drove straight home. Tommy was already sitting on the couch while being surrounded by a few people.
"You're back, Sir," the butler said courteously.
Tommy was startled when he heard that. He hopped off the couch and wanted to run away.
"Tommy," Luke called him and blocked his way.
Tommy lifted his head and looked at Luke's stern face. He looked at Old Master Crawford, knowing that his great-grandfather was the only person who could save him.
He had already told Old Master Crawford everything the moment he got back to Crawford Manor, including the fact that a woman named Luca had taken him in for the past two days.
"Where have you been since yesterday?" Luke asked. Jason had only told him the general area where the bodyguards found Tommy, but that was all they knew. No one had provided them with any leads,
and Tommy had appeared in front of the bodyguards all of a sudden.
"Hmph!” Tommy pouted and did not answer his father's question. He knew that his great-grandfather would protect him.
Even though he was back home, he was still angry at Luke!
Luke's expression sank. Before he could lose his temper, Old Master Crawford took Tommy's hand. "Tommy, are you hungry?"
I'm hungry, Great-Grandpa," Tommy immediately answered.
"Alright, let's go and have dinner.” Old Master Crawford was furious after hearing what Tommy had to say. That was why he sided with his great- grandson.
Lanie and Rainie exchanged glances, and the four people went into the dining hall.
The only people left in the living room were Luke, who was still angry, and the butler.
"Mr. Griffin," he called out sullenly.
"Yes, Sir." The butler stood behind him and nodded.
"Where has Tommy been for the past two days?" Luke asked.
"According to Master Tommy, a young woman took him in. Earlier, the woman saw the bodyguards going around her neighborhood looking for Tommy, so she let him go," the butler said. "The woman has taken good care of Master Tommy. When Master Tommy was found, his clothes were clean, and he was holding a pile of snacks in his hands. It seemed that he had an easy time." "Did he say who that young woman was?" Luke placed his hands in his pockets. Why would someone take Tommy in but not identify herself?
Did the woman not know who Tommy was?
"Yes, but...” The butler paused.
"Speak." "Master Tommy only told the identity of that woman to Old Master Crawford, and I did not hear who she was. Moreover, Old Master Crawford doesn't want you to know who that woman is," the butler said.
Old Master Crawford knew that Luke would be suspicious. If Luke knew the identity of the person who took in Tommy, he would send someone to investigate her.
That person had taken Tommy in without asking for anything in return, and she was not willing to reveal herself. It meant that she did not want to be disturbed, and that was why Old Master Crawford did not tell anyone else in the Crawford family.
Luke sighed helplessly and went upstairs.
The butler looked at his strong and well-built back and sighed too.
Luke did not have it easy. Ever since Bianca lost her memories, he was caught between his wife and his children.
It had been two years since the last serious incident in the family. Any other family would have been devastated by now.
At night, Tommy went back to his bedroom early.
Luke stood in the corridor. He leaned against the wall and faced Tommy's bedroom door.
Rainie came out of the bedroom and saw her father. "Tommy is fine, Daddy, " she said.
"Mm." Luke nodded. He did not knock on the door, nor did he ask the little boy to come out and face him.
"He might be angry at you now, but he'll probably forget about it by next morning." Rainie was a sensible girl. She comforted her father.
Luke looked at her and asked, "Do you know who was the person who helped your little brother?”
Rainie nodded and said, "I know, but I can't tell you."
Tommy had already told Lanie and Rainie about Luca when he got back. He also said that he would bring them to meet her.
"Why?" Luke frowned.
"Old Master Crawford told me that if you find out who she is, you'll try to investigate her. That woman is a good person, and she doesn't deserve to be disturbed!" Rainie said.
Luke frowned even harder when he heard what his daughter said.
The more Luke thought about it, the more confused he was.
Rainie smiled when she saw her father’s confusion. "I'll be back in my room studying, Daddy," she said.
"Mm." Luke guessed that Tommy would not be opening his bedroom tonight. He went back to his study.
Bianca came out from the bedroom. She had overheard Luke and Rainie's conversation earlier. That made her even more curious about the mysterious benefactor's identity.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1138- Hated Feeling Powerless
Nina's gaze shifted away from her kids and toward Luca, but she found that she had already left.
As Nina watched her walk away, she found Luca familiar.
After Luca left the children's clothing area, she slowly calmed down and contained the pain she felt. She was overjoyed to meet Nina. She wanted to hold her hand and catch up to ask about how she had been in the past few years.
However, she could not do that.
Luca hated feeling powerless.
She walked around the mall and realized that she was not in the mood to shop, so she walked toward the exit.
There was an event happening on the first floor of the mall. Luca looked up and saw the logo of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. She was stunned and brought her steps to a stop.
She could not hear anything that the host of the event was saying. She just stood there and stared at the logo of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC with mixed feelings.
This logo was designed by her. Three years later, the company was still around and the logo remained.
Luca wondered if Nina and Sue were the ones trying to keep the company up and running.
Suddenly, Luke's name was mentioned, and Luca snapped out of her daze. She looked at the man who was walking onto the stage.
Luke was wearing a tailored suit and walking to the center of the stage with high spirits. He then took the microphone handed by the host.
The noise around him stopped when he arrived at the center of the stage.
Luke began to introduce Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. When he mentioned that the company was founded by the love of his life, she could not help but chuckle. Luke was the center of attention everywhere he went.
Even though the lighting in the shopping mall was not the best, his appearance seemed to gather everyone's attention. No matter where he went, he would always stand out.
Luca looked at the distance between herself and Luke-not only the distance from the stage to where she was but also the distance that could not easily be spoken of.
She watched as Luke finished his speech and turned around to leave.
Before she could leave the area, Jason called out to Luca. "Ms. Ivana?"
Luca stopped. She wanted to leave but if she did, it would make things awkward. Hence, she looked back at him and said with a smile, "Mr. Doyle." "You're here..." Jason glanced at her, then turned to look at Luke on the stage. "Are you here to shop?"
Luca smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect to bump into Mr. Crawford for an event here." "This is fate." Jason smiled. "Ms. Ivana, there'll be a reception in the company later. Would you like to join us?"
Luca turned him down without a second thought. "No, I'm not a part of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC and I think it's best if I sit out of it." "Don't be silly, you're also a part of T Corporation. I believe the boss would be more than happy to see you there." Jason extended the invitation once again.
Luca shook her head and looked somewhere far away. She saw Sue standing there, sneaking looks in their direction. Hence, she said, "I have something to attend to, so I'll make a move first."
When Jason heard her reply, he knew that it was pointless to ask her to stay again. He smiled and watched her leave.
Luke, who was standing on the stage, watched the interaction. His eyes darkened. 'When did Jason get close to Luca?'
After Luca left, Jason returned to Sue with the intention to help her distribute the leaflets and gifts from Brilliant Architectural Design LLC.
As soon as he picked up the leaflets, Sue snatched them and said, "I don't need your help."
Jason was confused about her angry tone. 'She's angry?’ "Sue..." Jason picked up the gifts on the side and held them tightly in his hands so they would not be taken away by her. "What happened?" "I'm fine. Aren't you busy? Go and work on whatever that you need to work on." Sue saw that he was holding onto the gifts tightly and knew that it would be pointless to try and snatch them from him.
"I'm not busy." Jason looked at her puffed-up cheeks and suddenly understood the situation. He got closer to her and asked, "Are you jealous?" "Me? Jealous?" Sue rolled his eyes.
Jason knew that she was saying one thing but her heart was saying another. He patiently explained, "She's a new talent hired by the boss."
Sue handed the leaflets to her colleagues and asked, "What kind of talent?
IsT Corporation hiring?"
Although Luke was managing Brilliant Architectural Design LLC, it was run separately from T Corporation.
Brilliant Architectural Design LLC was Brilliant Architectural Design LLC, while T Corporation was T Corporation.
Seeing that she had moved two steps to the side, Jason got closer and said cheekily, "T Corporation is going to enter the pharmaceutical industry, so we went through a round of recruitment. The woman from just now is one of the company's researchers."
Sue snorted. She was uncomfortable seeing Jason so close to other women, but when she saw that woman, she could not bring herself to dislike her.
"A researcher who's smart and beautiful?" She sighed, her tone did not convey any trace of envy.
"The boss hired her for her capability," Jason said while he handed out gifts to the people around him.
"Men always go for looks." Sue watched as Luke walked over, surrounded by bodyguards. She deliberately walked farther away.
Jason wanted to catch up to her but Luke called out to him.
"Where is she?" he asked.
"Boss, are you talking about... Ms. Ivana? She left," Jason replied.
Luke nodded slightly. When he was giving the speech on stage, he saw Luca standing in the corner.
He turned and walked out. "Get the car ready, let’s head back to T Corporation."
One of the bodyguards following him immediately replied, "Got it."
When he heard that, Jason immediately put down the gifts, walked over to Sue, and whispered, "I have to go back to T Corporation to attend to some work. I’ll pick up Kari and Teri in the afternoon."
Sue waved her hand impatiently and replied, "Go, go, you're so annoying."
Nina overheard their conversation. After Jason left, she could not help herself from teasing Sue, "Is Mr. Doyle annoying?"
Sue said nonchalantly, ‘I have never met such an annoying man!" "You’re lying. You clearly care about him. Otherwise, why were you jealous when you saw him talking to another woman?" "You saw it?" Sue frowned. 'Was I too obvious just now?'
Over the past two years, Jason had been patient in re-entering her life. Although they had not held a wedding, they had moved in together.
"I didn't see it, I heard it. You sounded jealous," Nina said.
Jasmine, who was on the side, immediately agreed. "Yes, I noticed it too."
Sue flicked Jasmine's forehead and said, "The adults are speaking. What do kids like you know about jealousy?" "Aunt Sue, I know a lot about it! My aunt told me that this is how someone jealous acts!" Jasmine said cheekily.
"Look, even kids know better than you," Nina happily said, "You’ve been living together for so long. When do you plan to have the wedding?"
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1139- Unable To Be Calm Because Of His Abnormality
Sue shook her head helplessly when the word 'wedding' was mentioned. "I don’t think it's possible for me to get married." "Why?" Nina was puzzled as she thought that Jason and Sue had a stable and sweet relationship. It should just be a matter of time before they got married.
"Whether we can get married depends on when his ex-wife will stop bothering him. Only then will I agree to his marriage proposal," Sue said. It was not that Jason had never proposed to her but that she kept turning him down.
In the past three years, Bailey had not given up on badgering Jason. Although her methods had toned down, Sue still did not feel comfortable about it.
If and when Jason found a way to put a stop to his ex-wife's erratic behavior, she would get married to him then.
When Nina heard about what was going on between them, she sighed and said, "What if Mr. Crawford introduces a successful entrepreneur to Bailey? Maybe she’d give up on Mr. Doyle then. That woman is truly sickening."
Sue listened to her rant. Although what Nina said was true, she shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about this in front of kids." "It's not a big deal." Nina touched Jasmine's head.
On the other side, Luke left the mall in a car and noticed Luca, who was standing not too far away from where he was. His gaze locked onto her.
Jason, who was sitting in the passenger seat, noticed it. He turned around and said to Luke, "Boss, it's Ms. Ivana." "I know." Luke's deep-set eyes stared at him. 'Why does he seem so interested in Ivana?1
Jason was uncomfortable being stared at like this. He touched his nose, turned his head around, and stopped looking at Luke.
He was not excited to see Ivana. However, he was not sure why he reacted as such. He thought it could be because he knew that Luke was interested in her.
"Stop by the side and get down," Luke uttered.
The bodyguard in charge of driving and Jason looked at each other. The car was immediately parked next to Luca. The two then got out of the car together.
Luca looked at the car parked next to her with a suspicious gaze. She wanted to take a taxi home but the mall was crowded on weekends so there were not many available. That was why she was still stuck here.
Jason got out of the car and opened the door. "Ms. Ivana, please get in the car." "Don't worry about it, I’ll wait for the taxi." Luca looked at Luke who stepped down from the back seat and turned the offer down without a second thought.
She did not want to come into too much contact with him, lest her heart went out of control.
"Our boss has something to talk to you about," Jason said.
Luca looked at Luke. He was standing next to the driver's door with one hand on the roof, staring at her.
After the two looked at each other for three seconds, Luke said, "Get in."
His simple and direct command made Luca unable to turn him down. He looked at her with a blank expression. His aura was so strong that she could not take it any longer.
Jason made a motion to invite Bianca in.
Luke and Jason did not seem like they intended to leave... Luca looked at the cars coming and going. People might gossip if they noticed that she and Luke were staring at each other in public.
Grudgingly, she compromised and went into the passenger seat.
Luke sat in the driver's seat.
The bodyguards and Jason closed the doors before walking to the convoy that followed behind them. They got into one of those cars.
Luca concealed her panic by buckling the seat belt. Her hands were sweaty when she was done.
She had never felt like this with other men, no matter how powerful they were. Only when she was with Luke did she feel this mess of emotions that consisted of guilt, discomfort, and indescribable love. When those feelings were mixed together, she became embarrassed and uneasy.
"Where do you live?" Luke started the engine.
Luca was taken aback. 'Is he going to send me home?' She was already in the car and had no choice but to share her address with Luke.
Luke frowned when he heard the address. She lived in the same place where Tommy was found. He did not think too much of it and stepped on the accelerator. The convoy followed closely behind.
What they did not notice was that a news reporter who was leaving the mall had taken a picture of them.
Jason notified the other bodyguards who were driving and when they got to the next intersection, they did not follow Luke's car and drove straight to T Corporation.
From the rear-view mirror, Luca noticed that the convoy following them had made a turn in the last intersection, so she said, "Mr. Crawford, your bodyguards..." "They have other things to attend to," Luke said.
Luca was speechless.
The role of a bodyguard was to protect him, the CEO, but he was skipping work to drive her home and even told her that the bodyguards had other things to attend to.
His reasoning would have worked with a three-year-old, but not her.
Although Luca did not believe him, she did not want to think too much about why Luke was acting abnormally.
Maybe he simply valued her as a talent...
Luca tried to calm herself down by making up reasons in her head, but she felt more and more depressed.
Along the way, the two did not talk much. When they spoke again, it was when Luke had parked the car at the gate of the community where she lived.
"Is this it?" He frowned when he looked around the neighborhood. The area was not the safest, and the security facilities were incomplete.
He was puzzled about why Luca lived in such a place.
She was a senior technician who could afford to live somewhere better.
"Yes, thank you." Luca unfastened her seat belt. She noticed his frown but did not dare to think too much of it.
Before she got out of the car, Luke said, "The company has a dormitory. If necessary, you can apply for it." "No worries, it's pretty good here." Luca was stunned and came back to her senses a second later.
"This place is far from the office," Luke said. He did not know why he was saying so much to her. He thought that the area was not safe for a woman like her who was staying alone.
"I'll just get up a little earlier. The company dormitory should be reserved for those who need it more." Luca smiled and thanked him as she got out of the car. She stood by the side and waved at him.
Having worked for T Corporation, she knew that the slots for the dormitory were scarce. Otherwise, she would not have shared a place with Nina previously.
Seeing that she was being insistent, Luke felt even more puzzled. He felt as though he was wrapped in cotton and unable to breathe.
In the end, he chose to not say anything and stepped on the accelerator to leave.
Luca stood there watching him leave. Her heart was unable to calm down for a long time because of his abnormal behavior. Eventually, she returned to the apartment carrying a bag.
As soon as she opened the door, she noticed that something was wrong and immediately drew out the short knife placed in the shoe cabinet.
She had been trained to use short knives on the Island of Despair. Her skills were top-notch.
Luca trod lightly and slowly approached the living room. She saw a man standing there. She held the knife in her hand tightly and planned to subdue him when he was not paying attention.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1140- On A Mission
"Miss!" Amur was standing near the balcony. The moment he heard something, he turned around and saw the familiar face that made him pleasantly surprised.
Luca was relieved to see that it was Amur. She kept the knife in her hand in her pocket and said, "Amur, it's you! Why did you get off the island?" "I left the island because the boss sent me on a mission that happened to be near here, so I wanted to visit you. Miss, how are you doing?" Amur grinned when he saw her, his gaze softening.
"I'm doing great. You're getting buff! It seems that your training has improved." Luca approached him and did not ask how he came in. They were all trained on the Island of Despair. Gates as such did not pose any difficulty.
Even the security measures of Crawford Manor could not hinder them.
Amur had grown a lot stronger during the time she was away. That was why she did not recognize his figure just now.
Amur blushed when he heard her praise. He touched his hair and approached her. "Miss, I've been training hard, so my body has gotten much stronger." "Really? Let’s have a look." Luca observed as he walked closer to her. She suddenly grabbed his hand and subdued him to the ground in a second.
Amur was in pain but his face remained unchanged. "Miss..."
He did not expect Luca to do that.
"Amur, your fighting skills may have improved, but your defense still needs some work," Luca said as she let go.
Amur stood up and straightened his crumpled clothes. "Miss, I’ll pay attention next time."
Luca shook her head helplessly. He had never kept his guard up against her. Every time he was knocked down, he would always say that he would pay more attention the next time.
He trusted her too much.
"Your mission is in A City?" Luca asked.
"Yeah." Amur nodded. This was his third mission.
"Be careful." Luca patted his sturdy shoulder. With the rules of the Island of Despair in mind, she did not ask him about his mission to avoid putting him in a tough spot.
"I will, Miss." Amur touched his face and felt a little warm.
Every time he had physical contact with Luca, he could not help but blush.
Luca picked up the groceries on the coffee table and asked, "Are you in a hurry? If you're not, stay for dinner." "The boss gave me one month to finish my mission, Miss. I’m not in a hurry, " Amur said as he took over the grocery bags in her hand.
"Do you have a place to live?’ Luca said as she passed him the bags.
Amur had already figured out the layout of the apartment and placed the groceries in the refrigerator. When he heard Luca’s question, he shook his head and said, "I don't have a place to live yet. I plan to find a hotel nearby."
Luca looked at his tall figure and smiled. "I have an extra room here. If you don't mind that it's filled with potions and books, you can stay there." "Really?" Amur poked his head out and looked at her.
"Of course, but there's only a sofa bed. You're more than welcome to stay here if you don't mind." Luca nodded.
For the past three years, she had thought of Amur as her younger brother and Eler as her younger sister.
"Okay, thank you, Miss." Amur smiled shyly.
"Okay! I'll cook. Thinking about it, this is the first time you’ll be trying my cooking. Do you have any preference on the cuisine?" Luca did not forget that he was a foreigner.
"It doesn't matter what you cook. I'm sure that anything you cook will be delicious." Amur wanted to help but remembered that he knew nothing about cooking, so he just smiled awkwardly.
Luca nodded, took out the ingredients, and planned to show him her skills.
An hour later, she made a sumptuous lunch. The two of them sat at the table. Luca raised her glass of juice and said, "There’s no wine here, so I'll use juice instead of wine to wish you all the best for your mission." "Thank you, Miss." Amur held up his juice and clinked glasses with her.
After they clinked glasses, Bianca served him some food as she said, "You won't find these dishes on the island, so eat more."
Amur was touched to see his plate full of food, which Bianca had cooked for him.
"Miss, do you miss Nyla?" Amur asked.
Luca was stunned. She teared a little as she thought of her youngest daughter. She nodded and said, "Of course, I miss her." "Miss, before I left the island, I took a few photos of Nyla. They're on my phone. I'll send them to you." Amur immediately took out his phone.
The Island of Despair did not allow the use of phones. Only before each mission could they bring a mobile phone with a tracker so that they were contactable.
That was why when Luca left, she could not take any photos of Nyla.
"How did you..." Luca was surprised.
"I thought that you would miss Nyla a lot, so I took them before I left." The moment he found out Bianca was close to where he had to carry out his mission, Amur took the risk and took some photos just so Luca could see Nyla again.
"You shouldn't have. It's too risky. If Abel finds out, you'll be punished!" Luca was moved and glad that he was not caught.
On the Island of Despair, there were strict rules about taking photos of the island. It was so that what was happening on the Island of Despair would not be leaked to outsiders.
