Rainie followed her obediently, and all she could think about was their conversation just now.
Although they were speaking softly behind her, she could still hear them clearly because of her excellent hearing.
Rainie looked up at Luca and saw her cold expression. She did not display any feelings of sadness or anger.
“Don't be sad, Ms. Luca," said Rainie.
“Did you hear everything?" Luca paused and looked down at Rainie.
She thought that the kid would not be able to hear them when they were speaking in low voices.
Little did she know, Rainie heard everything.
Rainie nodded and said, "I heard it all, and I think that what she said was wrong. You're the best in the entire world,
Ms. Luca. You're not a mistress!"
She knew what mistress meant at such a young age.
Her classmates were all from wealthy families, and such families often had third parties involved. Thus, she often
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtheard her classmates talk about their dads having a mistress.
Over time, she found out what the word 'mistress' meant.
However, Susan was wrong because their beloved Ms. Luca was their mother. How could she be a mistress when
they were the same person?
Their dad said that there was a reason their mom had to hide her identity right now, and she had no other choice,
but things would get better eventually.
"So, you know..." Luca sighed. It seemed like the children knew more than she thought.
"Ms. Luca." After hearing her sigh, Rainie's chest tightened as she wondered if she had said something wrong.
"It's okay, I didn't take her words to heart anyway. So, you don't have to take her words to heart too, okay, Rainie?"
Luca whispered to the child.
She did not take Susan's words personally.
As long as she was with Luke, there was no need for her to be upset about Susan's words.
She was the one in his heart after all, and not anyone else.
Susan had greeted many people before seeing Luca walk out with Rainie.
She purposely laughed and said, "Look."
Then, the people she was talking to turned over to look.
"Who's that girl?" Mrs. Jackman asked out of curiosity as she noticed that woman sitting next to Luke during the
meal just now.
Not only that, but she was looking after his kids too.
"She doesn't look like Luke's wife, does she? Or is it because I haven't seen her in a long time, so I can't recognize
her?" Mrs. Malcolm said.
"Hmph." Susan snorted.
"What's the matter? Who is she?" Mrs. Jackman was curious.
"She's one cunning lady. Who do you think she is?" Susan smirked. In their friend circle, they would always describe
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma woman who meddled in another's marriage as cunning.
Her friends knew exactly what she meant when she said that.
"The media says that he's the man of every woman's dreams, yet he found himself another lover?" Mrs. Jackman's
eyes were suddenly full of disdain as she looked at Luca.
"He even brought her to an occasion like this? Did Old Master Crawford not say anything? Doesn't he value the
Crawford family's reputation the most? How could he tolerate him publicly showing off his mistress?" Mrs. Malcolm
asked.
Susan said coldly, "Old Master Crawford is biased. Luke is the head of the Crawford family now, so he's free to do
his monkey business. Besides, Old Master Crawford doesn't think this woman will affect the Crawford family's
reputation, so he's letting Luke do whatever he wants. Plus, if it was actually important to him, he wouldn't have let
Luke appear either."
When Susan got to the end of her sentence, she recalled Zachary cheating on her with Allison and having Luke.
If Old Master Crawford had been stricter with Zachary back then, T Corporation would have been Louis', and Luke
would not even exist.
Mrs. Jackman recalled Susan's past and sighed deliberately as she agreed with her. "You're right. Like father, like
son. I bet this woman has been with Luke for some time, right? She seems to get along with the three kids."
