Rainie was smiling as she noticed that Luca was about to say 'Mommy'..
That would only mean Luca still saw them as her children. Hence, it must be what their father had told them. Their mother had
some unspeakable reason, and that was why she did not acknowledge them.
Rainie was thinking of telling Lanie about it after he came back from school.
Luca brought Rainie out of the amusement park. All the open-air parking lots were occupied with cars. Hence, Luca parked her
car in the multi-story car park when she came here.
Luca and Rainie ran into Yuri and Thea when they walked into the car park.
“Hello, Aunt Yuri. Hello, Thea," Rainie greeted them. Rainie was looking for Luca when she was on the stage, and that was when
she saw Yuri and Thea sitting beside Luca.
"Oh Rainie, you did such a great job." Yuri complimented her while her gaze fell on the two's interlocked hands.
Those who did not know would have thought that they were mother and daughter.
"Thank you, Aunt Yuri." Rainie could sense how much sincerity was in Yuri's compliment.
Yuri added, "I didn't expect you to dance so well when you're busy with your studies. Rainie, do come back to Crawford Manor
during your free time. Perhaps you can teach Thea some dancing skills. She's hoping to get into your dancing academy too."
"Good luck to Thea." Rainie gave her a sweet smile and turned to look at Luca, "Ms. Luca, aren't you going to meet a friend?
Let's go. We'd better not be late for it."
Before Luca could say anything, Rainie added, "Aunt Yuri, please excuse us. We should leave now. Thea, all the best to you."
Luca did not say a word and left together with Rainie.
The image she was portraying now did not represent Luke's image. That was why there was no need for her to say anything in
front of Yuri.
Yuri watched them leave from behind and sneered. Then, she lowered her head and looked at her daughter.
Something was wrong with Thea's expression.
Yuri was worried and asked, "Thea, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, Mommy. I'm fine." Thea shook her head.
“Then what's with the look on your face?" Yuri placed her hand on Thea's forehead to feel her body temperature.
"Mommy, I wonder why Rainie was able to enter the dance academy while I can't?" Thea lifted her head, looked at Yuri, and
asked. She could dance well too, and her dance teacher told her that she was good at dancing. Why did the teachers of this
dance academy say that her dancing skills were ordinary?
"It's because you're young. You'll dance better when you grow up." Yuri had no choice but to comfort her. Her child had no talent,
but she still thought that her child was the best. She could enter the dance academy she wanted to if she put in more effort.
"Mommy, is Rainie the one who doesn't want me to enter the academy?" Thea pouted and asked.
Yuri was stunned for a moment, then she asked, "What makes you think so?"
"Rainie got into that academy when she was young. So, she must be familiar with the teachers there. She probably told the
teachers not to let me into the academy," said Thea. Whenever their relatives came to visit them, what Thea heard the most was
their praise for Rainie for dancing ballet so well and how she was able to get into a famous dance academy at such a young age.
They said Rainie was talented and beautiful. She was destined to become a successful dancer in the future.
Old Master Crawford would be grinning from ear to ear whenever he heard these compliments. On the contrary, those relatives
would not praise Thea. They would only flatter Rainie...
Thea was unwilling to accept this. Besides, she had heard Susan mention it before. That was why she thought it was Rainie who
was standing in her way and that was why Thea could not enter the academy. It was to prevent Thea from stealing her show.
Yuri was rendered speechless when she understood what her child had in mind. What did she hear that made her think so?
Yuri knew Rainie had nothing to do with Thea getting into the academy. Moreover, Luke would never use such dirty tricks to give
his daughter such privileges.
Thea lifted her head again and looked at Yuri, then she said, "Mommy, I must get into the dance academy and impress my great-
grandpa."
It was good that her child was determined, but it was true that her child had misunderstood certain things.
While Yuri was thinking if she should correct her daughter's wrong perception, Thea held her hand and said, "Mommy, it's cold.
Let's go home."
Yuri had to put aside her thoughts. She smiled and said to her daughter, "Alright. Let's go home."
On the other hand.
Luca drove to the restaurant near the apartment.
She told Amur that they would meet at the apartment and she would cook some home-cooked food for him. However, Rainie
was coming along with her now. Luca was worried that her child would imagine things, so she changed the destination to a
restaurant.
Amur arrived at the restaurant ten minutes earlier. He was wondering why Luca would suddenly change her mind and choose to
meet him at a restaurant, but he understood at once when he saw Luca bringing a little girl into the restaurant.
She was worried that the little girl would misunderstand their relationship.
Amur stared at Rainie with his deep eyes. Before Luca could say anything, Amur knew who the little girl was.
The little girl looked like Luca before she had the plastic surgery, and she looked a little similar to Nyla, who was on the Island of
Despair.
This must be the eldest daughter whom Luca told him about before.
Luca pulled the chair and helped Rainie sit on the chair after she got closer.
Rainie sat on the chair, and Luca sat beside her. Then, she said, “Rainie, this is Uncle Amur."
"Hello, Uncle Amur. You have such pretty blue eyes." Rainie looked at the man opposite her with her big bright eyes and smiled
sweetly at him. She liked the pair of deep blue eyes Amur had.
"Hello, Rainie." Amur looked at Rainie. Although she was Luke's daughter and he hated him, the child in front of him was the
same as Nyla. They were related to Luca. They had adorable and pretty faces. There was no way Amur could dislike them.
Amur's tone of voice became gentle when he was talking to her.
"Amur, I'm sorry. I drove slowly as it was snowing. You must have waited for quite some time, right?" Luca explained to him why
she came late.
"No. I just arrived here not long ago. Rainie must be hungry. Why don't we order first?" Amur handed the menu to Rainie.
"Thank you, Uncle Amur." Rainie took it from him and handed it to Luca, "Ms. Luca, please order for me."
Luca did not decline her. She knew what her child's favorite food was. She picked up the menu and ordered a few of Rainie's
favorite dishes. Then, she looked at Amur, "You should order some too."
"I'll leave that to you," replied Amur. "I'm not a picky eater."
"Yes. You're not picky. I almost forgot that." Luca patted her forehead and ordered a few other dishes. Then, she called for the
waitress and handed the order to the waitress.
