"Yes," replied Luke.
Susan had refused to move out of Crawford Manor. However, Old Master Crawford said that they were welcome to go back and
stay for a few days occasionally. Still, if Susan insisted on staying in Crawford Manor, he would move out.
Susan was worried that Old Master Crawford would favor Luke even more after he moved to his place. That was why she
eventually agreed to move here with Louis.
However, there was a condition.
The reason why Susan agreed to move was that it would be convenient for her to help Louis and Yuri to look after Thea. Hence,
Susan would move back to Crawford Manor when Thea was having her school holidays. She would move back to Louis' house
when classes started again.
Susan did not think it was troublesome, and Old Master Crawford had no comment either.
That way, Old Master Crawford could live in peace for a few months.
"Is Grandma Susan moving here too?" Tommy could not help but blurt out. He did not expect Susan to organize the
housewarming party after moving in when she strongly opposed the idea of moving out.
It seemed like their Great-grandpa had a way to make their Grandma Susan move out of the house.
"Yes," replied Luke.
Tommy sighed and said, "I thought Grandma Susan wasn't moving here. Daddy, does that mean we'll be meeting Grandma
Susan regularly?"
"Yes," answered Luke.
Old Master Crawford intended to let Louis stay beside Luke's villa. It was to prevent the two brothers from growing apart even
though they moved out of Crawford Manor.
Tommy pouted his mouth with an unhappy look on his face.
He did not like Susan at all.
After dinner, Luca was planning to head upstairs and see the analysis result, but Luke called her.
"Luca, can you follow me to my study?"
"Okay." Luca was startled for a moment. She followed Luke upstairs into his study.
The door was closed behind her once Luca stepped into the study.
Before she could respond, Luke pressed his thin lips against hers. The burning sensation spread across their bodies like wildfire
as their lips pressed together.
Luke's overbearing scent was constantly taking her breath away.
Luca's hand, which was initially on Luke's chest, pushed him away before she slowly accepted his advances. Then, she
eventually put her arms around his waist.
The temperature in the room was getting higher. Luca could feel the throbbing in her heart getting stronger...
Luca knew there was no way she could push the man who was kissing her and holding her in his arms away. She was about to
drown in pleasure.
"Luke." Luca gently called his name. She could feel his thin lips gently kissing her chin. It made her feel helpless. Her long, fair
arms were nervously tugging at Luke's shirt as she melted in his sweet embrace.
They were in the study.
The kids were still downstairs.
Luca's mind was in a fog. She did not know what to do. She could only let him take her. Her body was getting out of control.
"Shh." Luke's soft voice came into her ears. It was ticklish yet irresistible.
Luca wanted to free herself, but it was useless no matter how hard she tried to struggle.
Luca could only close her eyes as Luke kissed her. The cells in her blood were blazing hot and getting uncontrollable.
The two could hardly control themselves as the temperature rose.
Luke carried Luca in his arms and placed her on the bed. When he was about to lean closer to her, there was a knock on the
door.
"Daddy." There came Rainie's voice from outside the door with a knocking sound.
The two of them were shocked for a moment. Luca could see how helpless Luke felt when they looked into each other's eyes.
Luca pursed her lips and sat up when she saw how aggrieved Luke was. She quickly brushed her hair and tidied her clothes.
If it were someone else knocking on the door, Luke would not have responded. However, there was no way he could ignore it if it
was Rainie outside the door.
A daughter was her father's lover from his past life. She was the apple of her father's eye.
It was the same even with Luke, who wielded enormous influence in the business world.
Luke had no choice but to open the door once he saw that Luca was done tidying herself up. He looked at the little girl outside
the door and asked with a helpless voice, "What's the matter?"
Rainie noticed that Luca's face was red when she peeped into the room. She asked caringly, "Is Ms. Luca feeling unwell?"
"No. I'm fine." Luca shook her head as she rose to her feet with a smile on her face. However, she did not move closer to the
door.
She could not help but feel guilty when the child looked at her.
The kids did not know about it yet. The adults would feel awkward if Rainie asked something like that.
Luca smiled at her.
Rainie could not help but ask, “But Ms. Luca, your face is as red as a tomato."
“It's a little hot and stuffy here," Luca immediately replied.
"Oh." Rainie turned to look at Luke and told him why she came looking for him. “Daddy, you have to check my homework and
sign it."
Luke's temples throbbed faintly as he looked at the exercise books Rainie handed to him. He was interrupted just because he
had to sign the kids' homework.
It seemed like it was not a good idea to have so many kids.
Luke took the books from Rainie and said in a hoarse voice, “I'll check later."
“Daddy, please check them first. Otherwise, we'll fall asleep waiting for you and we'll be flustered tomorrow morning. We'll be in
trouble if we take the wrong exercise book or forget to bring our homework to school," Rainie explained with a serious expression
on her face.
“Let me do it." Luca took the exercise books from Luke. Then, she turned to look at Rainie. “Is it okay if I check your homework
for you?"
“Sure! Thank you, Ms. Luca. Please excuse me. I'm going downstairs to watch my cartoon show." Rainie made her way down
the stairs happily. She had no idea she had interrupted the two of them when she knocked on the door.
“Luca, are you running away from me?" Luke stood in front of her, blocking her way. He stopped her from walking out of the
room.
“No..." replied Luca in a soft voice. “It's just that the night's still young. And the kids aren't asleep yet..."
She was worried that it would be a bad influence on the kids.
Luke stroked his chin, looked at her reddened face and ears, and agreed. “You're right. We can do this later."
Luca's face turned redder at once.
That was not what she meant!
However, Luke intentionally misunderstood what she said.
"I'm going downstairs." said Luca as she was about to bypass him and walk out of the room. However, Luke grabbed her at the
waist and pulled her into his arms.
Luca could hear his heart thumping in her ears. It was strong, and it stimulated her acoustic nerves. "I."
“I had something to tell you when I asked you to come upstairs," said Luke. It was inconvenient for him to mention it to Luca in
front of the kids. That was why he asked her to head upstairs and talk about it.
However, the moment he stepped into the study, he could not control himself as he stared at her soft, pillowy lips. He
immediately made a move.
“Oh." Luca's face was burning red as she waited for him to continue.
“The police are starting to look into Matysh's case and the Normans' case. Leia also knows about it. I might be able to get the
goods on her," continued Luke. The caretaker had been observing Leia and her unusual behavior.
Besides, what Leia did not realize was that it had always been the caretaker who personally brought the hospital gown for her
whenever she had to change into another one.
Johann had arranged for Leia to put on two sets of hospital gowns repeatedly. A tiny bugging device had been secretly fixed at
the top button of each gown.
