She knew them too well.
Anna knew how to manage her finances. She would make some investments and keep the money in the bank to
earn some interest. That way, it would be enough to support Jean and Anna for the rest of their lives.
However, if the money fell into Jean's hands, it would be easily squandered.
Even though they had signed an agreement, Jean probably felt that he had the Mallory family backing him up after
Nina and Percy announced their marriage to the public. Therefore, he had no idea how to manage his money
wisely.
Nina knew them too well.
"Anyway, you're finally living a new life," exclaimed Luca. It had been so many years, and Nina had been through a
lot. "By the way, how's your wedding preparation?"
"I'm still going through the details with the wedding planner, but I also plan to take my wedding photos. Oh, and can
I have Tommy be my ring bearer?" asked Nina. She had friends who had kids, and she planned to choose either Kari
or Teri to be her flower girl. In that case, Tommy could be her ring bearer.
Luca smiled. When she was about to say yes, she suddenly remembered her position. Then, she replied, "You
should ask Mr. Crawford about this."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I don't think it's necessary. It's just a small matter. It's just that the children might have to take a day off from
school on the day of the wedding." Nina thought Luca could make the decision for them since it was a small matter.
However, she did not expect Luca to ask her to ask Luke.
"Well, should we ask Tommy, then?" suggested Luca. She had no intention of promising Nina on behalf of the child.
"Okay. Where's Tommy?" Nina thought it would be better to ask the child's opinion.
"He's upstairs, reading books. I..." Before Luca could finish her sentence, Tommy's voice sounded in their ears. “Ms.
Nina, you're here!"
Tommy ran down the stairs and trotted to Nina's side. He smiled and greeted her, "Hello, Ms. Nina."
"Hello, Tommy." Nina stroked the child's head and asked, "Tommy, I'm getting married. Can you be the ring bearer
on my wedding day?" "What's a ring bearer?" Tommy blinked his eyes and gave her a confused look. Then, he
turned to look at Luca, searching for an answer.
"Ms. Nina and Mr. Percy are getting married. A ring bearer is the one who carries the rings, and a flower girl is the
one who carries flowers and scatters them at a wedding ceremony," explained Luca with a smile on her face. She
turned to look at Nina. Nina would look beautiful in her wedding dress.
When they were still in their school days, they often imagined how the other would look in a wedding dress. They
even joked that whoever got married first would have the other be their bridesmaid.
She could no longer be Nina's bridesmaid now, but her son could still be Nina's ring bearer.
"Alright! Lanie and Rainie can be Ms. Nina's ring bearer and flower girl too!" Tommy agreed, not forgetting about
Lanie and Rainie.
He always thought of Lanie and Rainie when there was something fun.
"Lanie and Rainie are too old to be the ring bearer and flower girl. You'll be the ring bearer, and one of Ms. Sue's
daughters will be the flower girl," Luca smiled and reminded him.
Time seemed to have slipped away. The little flower girl who had accompanied her and Luke on their wedding day
had grown up.
She was too old to be a flower girl now.
"Okay!" Tommy snuggled close to Luca as he promised to be Nina's ring bearer. Sue's daughters, Kari and Teri,
were also his good friends.
"By the way, why did you come downstairs?" Luca stroked his cheek and smiled, wondering why Tommy had come
downstairs.
"I'm getting myself a glass of water!" Tommy remembered why he had come downstairs.
Luca picked up the glass of juice that the maid had served her and asked, "Would you like some orange juice?"
"Yes, please! Thank you, Ms. Luca!!" Tommy took the glass and gulped it down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuca knew that he was really thirsty when she saw the child chugging the glass of juice. She patted his back and
reminded him to drink slowly so that he would not choke.
Nina sat there, watching how attentive Luca was to the child.
Luca was caring and considerate to the three kids. She treated them as though they were her kids.
It reminded Nina of Bianca.
After Bianca was rescued, she was never close to her children. Despite being their biological mother, she never
showed any maternal love toward them while she remained manic and amnesiac.
She always had endless excuses to feel disgusted when she faced the kids.
It was as though they were not her children.
However, Luca was kind to the children. She was not putting on a show for others. She genuinely treated them well.
As Nina watched Tommy put down his glass and give Luca a smile, Nina knew that the three of them were really
fond of Luca.
Perhaps they had already seen her as their mother...
It would be good for the kids with Luca taking care of them. At least they were much happier than when Bianca was
around.
"Ms. Luca, I've finished my drink. I'm going upstairs to continue reading my book," said Tommy, feeling happy and
satisfied.
