After a while, the three kids followed Aunt Neile downstairs.
Meanwhile, Luca was serving breakfast.
“Good morning, Ms. Luca," the three kids greeted her at the same time.
“Good morning. Come and have breakfast." Luca was all smiles as seeing the children put her in a good mood.
The children cheered and walked to the dining table to eat with her.
After Tommy sat down, he noticed that there were no cutleries at Luke's seat, so he asked, “Ms. Luca, is Daddy
eating upstairs?"
“Yes, he has a lot of work to do." Luca nodded. She could not help but feel bad after recalling the thick stack of
folders.
Luke was having a hard time, yet there was nothing she could do to help. Instead, she was causing him more
trouble.
Luca recalled what happened yesterday. She was not wrong for firing Ambrose, nor did she do anything to wrong
him.
Terminations like these happened every day in this city.
Hiring and firing...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, she had never seen anyone splash acid on their boss for firing them.
That was what Ambrose did.
Luca was in disbelief that someone who was as calm and diligent as him would do such a thing.
“Ms. Luca, what are you thinking about?" Luca was not responding to Tommy's words, so he waved his little hands
in front of her eyes.
Then, Luca came back to her senses and smiled. “I was thinking about work. What's the matter?"
“Nothing. You're just like Daddy, working non-stop even after you're home." Tommy pouted and thought about how
both his parents were workaholics and his brother was a bookworm. The only normal ones at home were him and
Rainie.
Luca saw the puzzled look on the child's face and patted his head.
“Ms. Luca, Uncle Louis is moving in today, so my brothers and I made some gifts. Can we give them to Uncle
Louis?" Asked Rainie.
When the adults were busy, the three of them started preparing these handmade gifts after finishing their
homework.
Although the adults would have gifts prepared, Louis often looked after Lanie and Rainie when they were younger,
so they wanted to make some little gifts as a token of appreciation.
“Of course, your uncle would be very happy to receive them." Luca was surprised that the children had prepared
other gifts.
"Yup, I remember Uncle Louis saying he loved my handicrafts! Uncle Louis has been living in Crawford Manor for so
long, and he finally moved out, so Lanie and I decided to make him some handicrafts." Lanie nodded endearingly.
Although she was all grown up now, she still remembered being held in Louis' arms. She also remembered him
wondering when he could move out and not be under the control of Old Master Crawford and Susan.
After so many years, Louis was finally able to move out of Crawford Manor.
"I helped too!" Tommy raised his hands and said. After having Thea, Louis put all his effort into her. However,
Tommy still liked Uncle Louis very much, just like Lanie and Rainie.
"All of you did a great job." Luca gave them a thumbs up. The fact that the children would do such a thoughtful
thing meant that they grew up in a positive environment.
She was relieved that the kids were not too traumatized when she was kidnapped by the Island of Despair.
Aunt Neile came over with a plate of fruits and smiled when she heard their conversation. "Right, the young
masters and Ms. Rainie have been secretly preparing the gift for several nights. They made it when you and Mr.
Crawford couldn't come home early, and they prepared the surprise for Uncle Louis secretly because they were
afraid of both of you finding out."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuca looked at the children and smiled. Everything they did was out of kindness, which gave them, the busy adults,
a pleasant surprise too.
"So, have you wrapped your gift yet?" she asked.
"It's already wrapped, and it's in my bedroom," said Rainie.
"Great!" Luca gave her another thumbs up.
After breakfast, the kids went back upstairs to play games instead of watching cartoons.
Luca took the chessboard downstairs as she was worried about disturbing Luke while he was working. "Let's play
here, alright?"
"Alright!" The three kids agreed.
Luca sat aside to watch the three of them play, and she felt all warm inside at the thought of Luke, who was
working upstairs.
What a wonderful weekend. If only Nyla were here.
Her three older siblings would take good care of her, pamper her, and treat her like a princess.
Luca was depressed at the thought of her youngest daughter, and she had no idea how she was doing on the Island
of Despair. Eler was there looking after her, but she could not stop worrying as she was in the hands of Abel, and he
might do something that could negatively affect the child at any time.
The children played until noon, and she was there with them the entire time.
