Chapter 1854 Her Words Of Concern

"If you're too busy, just give the butler of Crawford Manor a call. He'll arrange for a nanny to come

over to take care of the kids.” Luke knew that Luca had a lot of things to do. After all, she took on

many jobs in T Corporation.

Later on, she would be much busier than she was now as she would be swamped with work and had

to take care of the kids as well. He was worried she would be overwhelmed.

"Alright, I got it. Just rest assured.” Luca nodded. Currently, all she could do was reassure him. He

would no longer be as troubled once Allison was sent out of the country.

Luke looked at Luca, who was far away from him. Even the tone she used to speak seemed to carry

a great sense of distance between them.

She was probably not as calm as she appeared. However, she was very good at putting on an act.

Looking at her now, she seemed composed

She was obviously concerned about him, yet insisted on putting on an act as though she was merely

an employee obeying her superior's commands. This made Luke feel uneasy.

"Sorry to trouble you." It was clear he was feeling uneasy when he spat out such a cold statement.

He then turned around and entered the bedroom.

Luca slowly closed her door when she saw him closing his door too.

'He looks unhappy...

“But I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't say anything I shouldn't have said either...”

Luca massaged her forehead. Most of the time, Luke's thoughts were hard to guess.

The next morning.

Luca got up and made breakfast for the kids. When she served the breakfast, she saw Luke carrying

his suitcase downstairs.

This time, he did not bring a large suitcase.

Luca thought to herself, “At this time of the year, the weather in South Korea is much colder than it

is here. Looking at that small suitcase, I wonder if he brought enough clothes with him.”

He would come back once he sent Allison abroad, but it was a rushed trip. If he did not bring

enough clothes, he would not have much time to purchase them.

The thought of it made Luca ask, "Mr. Crawford, South Korea is very cold this time of the year. Did

you bring enough clothes?"

Luke heard her words and felt sad. “She's obviously concerned about me, but her tone sounds so

distant’

"I won't be away for too long, so the clothes I brought are adequate.” Luke wanted to give her a

reply that sounded distant as well, but after looking at her face and those familiar eyes, he was

unable to stand firm with his decision. Hence, he still spoke a lot without him realizing it.

Luca nodded her head and said, "Breakfast is ready.”

Luke was not in a hurry. Despite not being happy with how Luca was distancing herself from him,

Luke still decided to have breakfast before departing.

He sat at the dining table. Soon, the kids changed their clothes and came downstairs with their

school bags.

Seeing the suitcase in the living room made Tommy look at his father with a look of shock. "Daddy,

are you going abroad for work?"

"Yeah." Luke helped himself to a bowl of porridge.

"Why didn't you mention it earlier?” Tommy said with much dissatisfaction. In the past, Luke used to

notify him and his siblings much earlier before he went on business trips.

"It was a last-minute decision. I'll be back after three days." Luke could tell his son was dissatisfied

from his comment and explained helplessly. It was a decision made yesterday, so he did not have

time to tell the kids about it.

If it were not for Allison wreaking havoc, he would not have made such a hasty decision either.

Tommy pouted his lips and was obviously not dissatisfied.

Lanie was understanding and asked, "Daddy, are you going to send Grandma away?"

"Yes." Luke nodded. Among the three kids, Lanie was the calmest and smartest. His personality was

also like Luke's. Hence, he was able to figure out his dad's plans in an instant.

Lanie nodded, sat on the chair by the dining table, and said, "Then, I wish you a safe trip, Daddy. I'll

be waiting for your return with Tommy and Rainie."

"Alright. Hurry and eat your breakfast, then off you go to school,” said Luke. Even though he would

be leaving the kids with Luca and knew she would take good care of them, he still had to arrange

everything appropriately.

The kids sat on the chairs and started eating their breakfast.

Luca had to go to work soon too. She sat on a chair and ate breakfast with them.

After eating breakfast, Zander sent the kids to school, while Luke drove to Crawford Manor to pick

up Allison.

After Allison was out of prison, she became extremely good at creating trouble. Even though Luke

had arranged for a driver to send her to the airport and said he would be waiting for her there,

Allison was still dissatisfied and insisted on having Luke personally send her.

Luca watched as the kids were driven away by Zander, and after seeing Luke drive away as well, she

went to the garage. She got into the car that Luke gave her and slowly drove out of the entrance of

the villa.

After arriving at the office, she found a parking lot and parked the car. Then, she took the elevator

and headed upstairs.

When the elevator stopped on the first floor, she coincidentally bumped into Tina.

Tina walked into the elevator and saw Luca. She then greeted warmly, "Good morning, Dr. Craw."

"Good morning, Tina." Luca nodded.

Tina was holding onto a cup of coffee and breakfast. She asked, "I bought breakfast, Dr. Craw. Do

you want to join me?”

"No thanks. I've already eaten,” Luca thanked her politely and rejected her kind offer.

When Tina heard the words, she did not pursue the matter further. She suddenly recalled that Luca

had come from the basement floor, so she became a busybody and asked, "Did you drive your car

here today, Dr. Craw? Did you buy a new car?"

Luca recalled that the car Luke gave her was not a brand new car. She then shook her head and said,

“It's an old car."

"I thought you didn’t own a car. I always see you taking a cab to work," said Tina with a smile.

Luca explained, "I just returned from a foreign country and wasn't familiar with the traffic rules here.

That's why I didn't dare to drive a car. I just recently got my driving license.”

Tina nodded. "So, that's how it is. Oh yeah, do you know? Boss has suddenly gone on a business trip

and will be away for three days. For the next three days, it'll be Mr. Doyle handling the issues in the

office.”

"Oh really? Where did the boss go?" Luca asked, pretending to be clueless about it.

"No idea. My. Doyle didn't say a word about it. Perhaps it's an emergency issue. Otherwise, he

wouldn't have left at the eleventh hour. I hope it has nothing to do with this project, or all our

efforts throughout this period of time will go to waste,” Tina said. Many people hoped that this

bidding would end with success and they could gain huge rewards.

"I don't think it's that. Let's just focus on our jobs.” Luca comforted her. She could not say a word

about Luke's family issue.

"Oh right, the translator who was on leave is coming back to work. From now on, you guys will work

together for any translation work. Her office will be in our secretary's room," Tina said.

Luca looked at her. "Isn't she going to share my office with me?”

"There isn't a translator who has their own office. All the translators in the company are under one

department, and that's on the 13th floor. Of course, you were initially just a secondment. Besides,

you occupy a much higher position, so you were arranged to have your own office,” Tina explained.

The translator's office was not initially on this floor, but Jason had arranged it at the last minute so

that Luca could better communicate and work together with her. He arranged a seat in the

secretary's office for the translator who had just come back from her leave. This way, Luca would not

have to go back and forth from one place to another.
