Chapter 1418 She Can’t Say That She Isn’t Sad

Luca could guess why Luke did not tell the people from the Crawford household. He should want to

protect Tia's reputation...

She heard the elevator doors open and watched Sean and Tommy go inside. Before the doors

closed, Tommy peeked out of the elevator, waved at Luca, and said, "Bye-bye, Ms. Luca!"

Luca forced a smile and waved back at him.

After the elevator doors closed, she closed the door of her apartment.

She could not stop herself from thinking that Luke was currently at dinner with Tia while the people

in his family knew nothing about it.

She sat down on the couch. A commercial was playing on the television. She was irritated by the

noise, and she switched off the television with the remote control.

Before Luca returned to A City, she was already mentally prepared that Luke would have had an

intimate relationship with the impostor. She even guessed that they might have had another child.

She did not feel sad. After all, Luke was also a victim of Abel's deception and could not be blamed.

However, she found out that Luke did not even touch that impostor Bianca. He had kept a wary

distance from her.

She was quite happy when she found out about it. Even though Luke did not know the truth behind

the impostor's identity, he could sense that something was amiss. That way, she remained the sole

recipient of Luke's love.

Now that Tia suddenly appeared, and what Luke was doing to her...

Luca would be lying to herself if she said that she was not jealous or sad.

She even imagined the eventuality where Luke and Tia's relationship would improve, and they might

even get married...

Her heart wrenched in agony when she imagined another woman in Luke's embrace.

She picked up her phone and searched the Internet for information about Tia.

She managed to find an article about Tia on Wikipedia. Even though someone else might have the

same name as her, Luca could tell that the woman in the article was the same one she had seen

earlier.

Luca scrolled down and carefully read every detail.

When she was done reading, she concluded that Tia was an outstanding individual.

If Luca had not been abducted by Abel and had continued to advance her career in A City, she

might not even be as popular as Tia.

Back when she first started the company, the people there called her "Mrs. Crawford" and not

"Mdm. Rayne"...

Luca put her phone away. She knew that she was very capable, but she realized that Tia was more

suitable for Luke.

If Luke decided to marry Tia one day, Luca guessed that Old Master Crawford would not object to

it...

Luca smiled, though the smile was not happy at all.

The next morning, Luca got out of bed and looked at herself in the mirror. It was the second night

in a row that she did not sleep well.

She picked up the concealer and began to apply it to her face.

She spent the entire night thinking, and she finally accepted the fact that it might be a good thing if

Luke decided to marry Tia.

That way, he would stop giving attention to her, and Abel's plan would fail.

Luke would eventually stop looking for her, and no one would be disappointed or sad. It was a

good choice if Luke chose Tia over her.

Luca looked at her eye bags in the mirror and covered them with concealer.

After she was done, she thought that her face was still missing something. She forced a smile on her

face, but that smile was filled with sadness.

Luca sighed. She might have accepted the fact, but she could not stop herself from being sad.

After putting on makeup, she went into the kitchen and prepared a simple breakfast for herself.

She did not turn on the television because she was not in the mood, so she missed out on a news

report about Luke.

In Crawford Manor, Old Master Crawford was reading the newspaper. The headline of the gossip

section was about Luke again.

Last time, Luke was in the headlines because of a certain Dr. Craw, and Old Master Crawford did not

know who it was. This time, the subject of the scandal was someone he knew.

"Is Luke up yet?" Old Master Crawford asked the butler.

"He should be up by now," the butler replied.

Old Master Crawford stood up with the help of the walking stick and picked up the newspaper. "Get

the driver to send the kids to school today. Tell Luke to come to my study after he’s done with

breakfast."

"Yes," the butler replied

When Luke came down the stairs, he did not see Old Master Crawford at the dining table. He knew

that his grandfather woke up earlier than he did, and his grandfather would sit at the dining table

and read the newspaper. It was rare that he was not there today.

He asked the butler, "Where's Grandfather?"

"Old Master Crawford is in his study, Sir. He requests that you meet him there after you finish

breakfast,” the butler relayed the information to Luke

Luke nodded.

After breakfast, he went to the study.

He knocked on the door and, after receiving consent, walked in. "Is there anything, Grandfather?"

After Luke sat down, Old Master Crawford said, "You said that you were working overtime yesterday

night, but I see this in the newspaper today. What's going on?"

Usually, if Luke had to work overtime or have a business dinner elsewhere, he would phone home to

tell them not to wait for him.

Yesterday, he said very clearly that he was working overtime and not attending a dinner.

Old Master Crawford began to make up stories.

Luke glanced at the newspaper. In the report was a photograph of him and Tia going into a French

restaurant. Other than the waiter, there was no one else with them.

He did not expect that the incident would make the headlines of the gossip section.

"If I'm not mistaken, that woman is Bianca's psychologist, right?" Old Master Crawford asked.

Luke nodded and put the newspaper away.

Old Master Crawford continued to ask, "Are you interested in her?"

As Luke's grandfather, Old Master Crawford knew that he would not have dinner alone with another

woman.

That was why Old Master Crawford suspected something.

Luke shook his head and said, “I am indeed interested in her.”

"Why did you shake your head then?" Old Master Crawford asked.

Ever since he knew that Bianca was an impostor, he did not object to Luke looking for another

woman's affection. However, no one else knew that Luke's wife was an impostor, and they thought

that she was traveling overseas. Now that the paparazzi had caught Luke having dinner with

another woman, it would certainly affect his reputation!
