Chapter 2561 So Straightforward
Luca was startled for a moment. She did not expect Luke to be so straightforward.
It took Luca a few seconds to cback to her senses. After she tried to put her thoughts into words, she said, "I
realized Ms. Rayne's hands were cold today. It's unusual for her hands to be freezing in a warm space. | asked
her to make an appointment for a medical examination tomorrow. I'd like to know the results of her medical
examination."
Luke nodded after he heard what Luca said. “Sure. I'll ask the doctor working at the health clinic to send a copy
of the report to your email.”
“Okay.” Luca paused for a moment. “I'll help her improve her health if there's something wrong with her.”
"She'll be grateful if you can help her with that," said Luke. The doctor would always inform him of their health
condition after their medical examination.
Wanda had always had issues with her health. Sometimes, she had to take smedicine to nurse her health.
The issues recurred on and off again. It had been three years since.
Luca replied in a soft voice. She planned to wait until the medical report was released before deciding if it was
necessary to help Wanda nurse her health.
Luke drove back home.
Aunt Neile had gotten off work by the tLuke and Luca arrived home. The three kids immediately surrounded
the two of them.
"Daddy, Ms. Luca, both of you went to Grandpa Rayne's place for dinner. How could you not bring us along with
you? That's too much!" Tommy stood with arms akimbo and pouted, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Luke shot a cold glance at his son.
There was no way Tommy's angry protest could work on him.
"Your Grandpa Rayne needs srest. You'll make a lot of noise if you go over to his place," said Luke. Tommy
widened his eyes. He noticed that his daddy mentioned only him instead of all the children. His daddy was
saying that he was the noisiest kid.
“Daddy, how am | noisy? I'm a good boy. | can massage Grandpa Rayne's legs and shoulders for him. Besides,
Grandpa Rayne must have missedsince it has been a while since he saw me.” Tommy swung his little fists
and protested.
Luke took off his coat. He showed no expression toward his son's protest and replied, “Let's see how it goes."
"What does that mean?" Tommy glanced at Lanie and Rainie. They were smiling while watching him fool around.
"I'll take you there next time." Luke glanced at the time. It was already past nine. He turned to look at the three
kids and said, "It's getting late. Aren't you going to clean yourselves up and go to bed yet?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Okay, Daddy,” Lanie suddenly spoke. He held Rainie's hand and made their way up the stairs.
Tommy stared at Lanie and Rainie, who were going upstairs. Then, he turned to look at Luke, “Daddy, pinky
promise."
"Huh?" Luke raised his brows. Was this little kid afraid that he would not keep his word?
"Pinky promise. You promisedthat you'll bringthere next time.” Tommy stood on tiptoes and lifted his
little thumb.
Luke did not know what to do with Tommy. He had no choice but to lock his pinky finger with Tommy's.
“Pinky promise, cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” Tommy made a pinky promise with
Luke happily. Then, he let go of Luke's finger and headed upstairs.
Luke watched Tommy slip his way up the stairs from behind and shook his head helplessly. Then, he turned to
look at Luca, "I wonder where he learned that from."
Adults could not seem to understand the children's world.
Luca smiled and replied, "Weren't we like that too when we were young back then? Although times have
changed, sthings never change. He probably learned it at school."
“I never did that when | was young." Luke raised his brows, put his arms around Luca, and walked into the house.
Luca asked in surprise, “You didn't?”
"Grandpa toldthat these things are just deceitful tricks. In the adult world, one can break one's promise and
agreement even after one has signed a contract. Although one has to pay the price, there are no such promises
that can be kept forever," said Luke.
Luke had understood this since he was young.
Old Master Crawford was determined to make him his successor. Luke had already known that these things that
only children would believe in could not be trusted since he was young.
Luca nodded and secretly let out a sigh. Luke never had a proper childhood.
When an adult said such a cruel thing to children, the children would only give the adult a confused look. The
children would have no idea what the adult was talking about and what it meant.
However, Luke had already understood these complicated thoughts when he was still young.
Hence, the children’s little tricks did not make any sense to him.
Even if the child who played the trick was his own son.
Luke would not be able to understand it either. He even wanted his children to understand what he had learned
since he was a child.
Sure enough, children raised by a father were different from others.
Lanie and Rainie were more mature than the other kids who were of the sage. It was partly because Luca
was not there by their side when they were young back then.
They lacked a mother's love and care.
However, things were different for Tommy. At least, Luca got to stay by his side for a few years. That was why he
still had the innocence and the mind of a child.
Luke and Luca cto the second floor.
Luke gently ran his fingers through Luca's hair when he noticed how quiet Luca was. He asked, “What's on your
mind?"
"Your childhood," Luca was so lost in thoughts that she blurted out what she had on her mind. She immediately
realized what she said and explained, “I didn't mean that.”
“It's true that | didn't have a childhood,” replied Luke. He spent a few years living in the orphanage when he was
young back then.
After that, Luke was taken back to
the Crawford family where he started
living his life as the £89 master of
re Crapfaraai which everyone
as envious of. However, Susan was
not pregnant at that time. That was
why Luke was trained to be Old
'
Master Crawford's successor. The

He was destined to not have a childhood in order to beca qualified successor.
When the other children were having fun and playing around, Luke had to learn all kinds of things, such as
calligraphy and piano. Other than that, he had to excel in his studies too.
After Louis was born, Allison felt intimidated. Allison focused on training Luke to make him even better and to
please Old Master Crawford.
However, instead of training Luke properly, Allison was just very strict with him and trained him based on Old
Master Crawford's standards.
Hence, Luke had no idea about the cartoon shows that the children his age talked about. However, he was much
better than the others when it cto calligraphy and piano.

He beca tool for Allison to remain in the Crawford family, and he becsomething that made her look
good too.
Luca could not help but hold Luke's hand tight when she listened to him.
Luke was about to say something, but his phone rang.
After Luke answered the call, he spoke in French with the person on the other end of the line for a while. Then, he
said to Luca, "I have to attend a video conference now."

Luca returned to her bedroom door after that. She stared at Luke's bedroom.
The door was left ajar. Luca could hear Luke's deep voice coming out from the room once in a while. Luke was
speaking in French. It seemed like he was handling smatters related to the subsidiary companies
abroad.
