Luca's hand paused for a moment, and she looked at herself in the mirror with a faint smile. Then, she put down
the eyebrow pencil and turned around to tease him, “Mr. Crawford, was your breakfast this morning sweet? Why
are such sweet words coming out of your mouth?"
"I'm just saying the truth." Luke looked at her elegant features. Whether it was Bianca or Luca, she was still pretty.
Even if all her features had changed, it was still the same face that he adored.
"But the coffee today was quite sweet," he added.
When Luca heard that, she was wondering how could the coffee be sweet when no sugar was added? Then, she
instantly knew what he meant, and she blushed again. She sat upright and continued filling in her eyebrows. "I
didn't know you liked sweet drinks. I'll add more sugar for you next time."
"Sure," Luke agreed without hesitation.
Luca smiled and shook her head. He actually agreed.
She was familiar with how Luke liked his coffee. She knew that he did not add milk or sugar as he liked plain bitter
coffee. He said that it was the only way he could get the authentic taste of coffee.
After putting on makeup, Luca looked at herself carefully in the mirror to see if there were any mistakes. She stood

Luke had finished changing at the same time.
"It's almost time, and I just got Louis' message. Let's go," said Luke as he put his phone away.
Louis had just sent him a message saying that all the preparations were done, and they could go now.
"Great, all the presents are ready, but I don't think the two of us can carry them. We need Aunt Neile to help," said
Luca.
Although Luke and Louis were brothers, they did not share the same mother. No matter how well they got along, if
he ever fell short as the elder brother, Susan would give him a mouthful.
She was not willing to see her beloved man getting slandered by Susan, so she did not hold back when buying gifts
and home appliances, and the price tags were hefty too.
That way, it showed that Louis was important to Luke, so Susan would not criticize him in front of others.
"Sure, it's not that far anyway," Luke followed her downstairs after saying that.
The kids were already waiting downstairs.
"I'll go tell Aunt Neile," said Luca as she turned and walked into the kitchen as Aunt Neile and Aunt Laurel should be
busy in the kitchen right now.
"Can you help deliver the gifts to Master Louis' house?" She walked into the kitchen and saw both of them there, so
she asked.
"Of course. It's no problem," said Aunt Neile with a smile as she stopped what she was doing.
Aunt Laurel nodded and stopped the task at hand as she followed Luca out of the kitchen.
Luca went to the storage room and intended to have Aunt Neile carry the lighter gifts, but Aunt Neile unexpectedly
picked up the heavier appliances and walked out. "Ms. Craw, you should take the lighter ones."
Aunt Laurel followed suit and carried another piece of appliance out.
Luca shook her head at the sight of both of them. She bent over to pick up the remaining appliances. However,
Luke walked in and took the rest. "Is this it?"
"Yup." Luca had no choice but to pick up the two bags of small gifts.
Aunt Neile and Aunt Laurel had taken all the heavy ones, and these two bags were light.
Luca walked out of the storage room to see Luke and the kids waiting for her.
"Ms. Luca, let me help you." Lanie came over to take a bag from her hands.
The gift the kids prepared was being carried by Tommy and Rainie, so he came over himself to help Luca carry the
bags.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Sure." The bag was not heavy, so Luca let him carry the other one.
They walked out of the house and went to the house next door.
The gate was wide open because of the housewarming party, so they just walked in. Aunt Neile and Aunt Laurel had
put down all the appliances by then.
"Brother, you're here." Louis smiled brightly when he saw Luke walk in, and he walked over to greet him.
"Yeah, where should I put these?" Asked Luke.
Louis noticed that each of them had something in their hands and said in surprise, "That many? Put them here."
He led them to where the presents should be placed.
"There isn't a lot. It's just a few things," said Luke as he put down the appliances. Then, he took the bags from Luca
and Lanie to put them aside as well.
Luca did buy a lot, but Louis was his brother, so the amount she bought was justifiable.
It was just a token of appreciation.
"Uncle Louis, the three of us made these gifts for you!" Rainie took the bags and handed them to Louis.
"You made these? Amazing." Louis happily accepted the gifts and said to Luke with a smile. "Brother, the gifts my
niece and nephew gave are better than yours."
