Chapter 1681 She Was No Longer Living Alone

"Okay." Rainie complied and pointed the tablet's camera at her face.

When Luca saw that Rainie had laid down, she began to softly hum a nursery rhyme.

The sound of Luca singing came from the tablet. Rainie closed her eyes and felt like she was back in

the past when their Mommy would sit by their beds, either to tell them stories or sing to put them

to sleep.

She had sweet dreams every night that her mother was by their side.

Rainie closed her eyes and smiled slightly. She believed that she would have a sweet dream tonight.

Luca hummed softly. She sang another song as soon as she was finished with the first. She chose

some Russian nursery rhymes to avoid Rainie suspecting anything. Rainie did not say anything

about it and gradually fell asleep to Luca's singing.

Luca continued to sing softly before gradually softening her voice and stopping

Rainie did not wake up. She was already asleep.

Luca sighed and whispered, "Good night, baby."

After that, she hung up the call.

Luke was lying on the bed in the master bedroom. He did not close the door so he could hear

Luca's humming.

As he listened to Luca's singing, he thought of the happy times when they used to live together. At

that time, Luca was responsible for taking care of the family, which allowed him to have more time

to deal with work.

As he though about the past with Luca's soft singing in his ears, Luke gradually closed his eyes. He

could smell Luca's faint scent as well. He knew that he would surely get a good night's sleep.

The next day.

When Luca woke up, she noticed that the door to the master bedroom was open and was taken

aback

High-end apartments as such had great sound insulation. However, that was under the premise that

the doors were shut. That was why she felt comfortable humming to Rainie last night.

However, the bedroom door was wide open...

Did that mean that Luke heard her singing last night?

It was not that he had never heard her sing but it was the first time he heard Luca sing. Her face was

flushed when she thought about that. She felt a little embarrassed.

She was unsure if he really did overhear her singing last night or if he just happened to wake up

earlier, so his door was open.

With that thought, Luca walked into the master bedroom, wanting to see if Luke was up.

As soon as she walked in, she saw Luke standing by the bed, wearing only a pair of trousers. His

sturdy upper body was completely exposed...

Luca looked down, turned around quickly, and said while blushing. "Sorry, Mr. Crawford. I saw that

the door was open and thought you had left."

Luke looked at her casually and said, "No. I felt a little warm when I went to bed last night so I

opened the door.”

The door was opened last night, so there was a good chance he heard her singing.

Seeing that she was quiet, Luke said, "If you don't need anything from me, can you go out? I need

to change.”

When Luca heard that, she froze. She blushed not only because she had seen Luke's sturdy upper

body but also the fact that he was about to unbutton his pants.

He was about to change...

She suddenly realized that she had been reckless. She quickly said, "I'll get out now.”

Luke looked at her flee and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Luca is shy... She looks adorable when she’s shy."

The two of them had gone all the way prior but at that moment, she was acting like a woman with

no experience. She blushed just from seeing him change.

Luke did not do it on purpose. He just did not expect her to barge in like that.

It seemed that not closing the door had an advantage. At least he knew that Luca would be shy

when she faced him.

Luke was in a good mood. What happened the night before and this morning made it seem like

everything was as how it was in the past.

He was more and more confident that he could solve all their problems and be with Luca again.

Luke picked up the clothes he had changed out of. The clothes he was wearing now were collected

from the balcony.

The clothes he had changed out of during the day were washed by the part-time worker, which was

why he had a set of clean clothes and did not have to step into the maid's room.

Luke came out with the clothes and put them in the basin by the balcony.

Luca was making breakfast in the kitchen.

Luke listened to the sound and movement from the kitchen as the feeling of happiness and

tranquility rose from his heart.

He liked that feeling.

He once thought that his whole life would be career-centered but after he met her, he realized that

his career could be secondary. She was the most important person in his life.

He had always enjoyed family life with Bianca. It was unfortunate that the good times did not last

long. However, luck was on his side once again now that Bianca was back. He promised himself that

he would seize the opportunity to find out everything and keep her by his side.

Luke sat on the sofa and picked up the remote control to turn on the TV.

Luca was standing in the kitchen preparing breakfast. She was stunned when she heard the morning

news. “Luke is watching TV."

It seemed that he intended to stay for breakfast.

Thinking of what Rainie said yesterday, Luca suspected that Luke would be here for days to come.

“Is he doing it on purpose?’

After all, the old Luke would choose to go home to accompany his children no matter how busy he

was at work. Now.

As she thought about it, Luca grabbed up some eggs and prepared breakfast for Luke.

Two portions of breakfast were served while they were still hot. When she was about to tell Luke

that breakfast was ready, he already stood up and walked over.

"What's for breakfast?" Luke asked.

"There aren't many ingredients in the refrigerator, so I made eggs on toast,” Luca said.

"Sounds good." Luke sat down, picked up the utensils, and started eating. His expression did not

change. Luca could not tell whether he liked the food or not.

Looking at the way he was eating, Luca thought to herself that maybe he liked what she had cooked

for him...

Her portion was small, so she ate slowly. When she was done, Luke had just finished the last bite of

his toast.

Luca stood up and was about to clear the table.

Luke said, "I'll do it."

Luca glanced at the time. If he left for the office now, the timing would be just right. He would not

be late. However, he would likely be late if he did the dishes.

Althought Luke was the boss and no one cared if he was late, he was someone punctual. If there

were no special circumstances, he would be on time and even earlier than the employees. She

reminded him, saying, “Mr. Crawford, it's getting late. Let me do the dishes."

Luke looked at the time. Indeed, if he left any later or if he ran into a traffic jam, he would be late.

He said, "Don't worry about it. Leave it for the hourly workers to clean when they come over.

Prepare more ingredients in the fridge in the future. I'll be staying over when I get too busy with

work."

Luca listened to his tone as though he was reminding her to be prepared to make meals for him

when he came over. She was full of helplessness.

She was staying in this house but he seemed to think of it as his home as well.

He would come and go as he pleased and have dinner with her...

She felt that she was no longer living alone in the house.
