Chapter 2716 Afraid Of Being Mistaken As A Mistress
[I'll be right back.] After Luca replied to his message, she lifted her head and smiled at Amur. "I'm going back
now. Take care of yourself."
"Okay." Amur nodded.
Luca did not let Amur escort her to the lobby, so he walked her to the door instead. As he watched her step into
the elevator and heard the doors slowly close, he closed the door.
Mrs. Selley walked out carrying a bag of garbage. She glanced at Amur as though she wanted to ask him
something. However, she sighed and shook her head at the thought of what he had said before.
Mrs. Selley gave her relative's daughter a call after Amur rejected her.
The girl could not help but burst into tears after she heard what Mrs. Selley said on the phone.
Mrs. Selley felt sorry for bearing bad news. Thus, she spent stcomforting her before reluctantly ending
the call.
She ran into Amur when she was about to take out the trash.
Amur did not bother to greet her and closed the door right away.
Mrs. Selley could not help but mutter to herself, "That was rude."
She headed to the elevator and turned around to glance at the apartment door. Then, she mumbled to herself in
a regretful tone, "He's good-looking. Now | know why she can't stop thinking about him. It's a shthat such a
handsman is already taken."
Luca headed downstairs and found Warren waiting in the car.
Even though it was springtime, it was chilly at night. Luca got into the car. The car heater warmed her up.
"Ms. Craw, would you like to go hnow?" asked Warren as he turned up the heat in the car.
"Yes. Let's go." Luca nodded, thinking that her children would be asleep by the tshe returned to the villa.
As she watched the scenery outside the window pass by, Luca could not help but secretly heave a sigh. Time
was not something that could be wasted.
Luca wanted to spend more twith her children, but it seemed like something would always take up all her
time.
The kids were growing up every day. Twas slipping away from her...
After they arrived at the villa, Luca got out of the car and headed to the house.
The maid, whom Luke had asked to work here from Crawford Manor, sat on the sofa in the living room.
When the maid saw her, she stood up and greeted Luca, "Ms. Craw, you're back."
"Yes. Where's Lanie and the others?" asked Luca.

"The kids are already upstairs getting ready for bed. They're probably in bed by now," replied the maid.
Luca nodded and glanced at the time. It was late, and the kids were already in bed.
"By the way, Ms. Craw, these are the children's homework. They toldto remind you to check and sign them if
you cback first. If Mr. Crawford cback first, they'd want him to check and sign the books. So..." The
maid pointed at the stack of books on the coffee table.
It was what the kids had asked her to help with.
"Mr. Crawford isn't hyet?" Luca was not surprised. She sat on the sofa without waiting for a reply. She
already guessed that Luke would definitely still be out drinking with Percy and the others.
It was because of Pierre's kidnapping case.
"Yes. Mr. Crawford isn't hyet," replied the maid.
"Okay, | got it. I'll prepare shangover tea later. If Mr. Crawford comes back and you're awake, ask him if he
wants some," said Luca. She was worried that she might fall asleep without knowing when Luke cback.
"Letprepare it instead," the maid replied immediately.
"It's okay. It's simple enough. Go get srest." Luca shook her head. Since the maid cto work here, she
had been living in the maid's room. Someone would be here to take care of the children in the villa.
"Okay, Ms. Craw." The maid nodded and stood up. "Just callif you need anything."
"Alright." Luca looked down and carefully checked the kids' homework. The three of them were very focused
when they were doing their homework. Luca quickly went through their homework, then she imitated Luke's
handwriting and signed his non the books.
After that, she sorted the kids' books by their names and put them back in their bags. They would be ready to
bring them to school the next day.
Luca turned on the garden lights after that. Then, she turned on the night light in the living room. She went to
the kitchen to prepare the hangover tea. After preparing it, she made her way upstairs quietly.
She did not return to her bedroom right away.
Instead, she quietly pushed open the children's bedroom doors to make sure they were already asleep before
returning to her bedroom.
She lay on the bed after washing up.
She picked up her phone. When she was about to charge her phone, she realized that Luke had sent her a
message while she was cleaning up.
[Are you home?]
Luca was a little surprised.
He had arranged for Warren to stay by her side. Even though he said it was so Warren could protect her and
drive her to work, Luca knew that Luke did it to know where she was and what she was doing all the time.
However, he asked if she was hnow. Did Warren not tell him that she was already home?
Luca replied: [Yes. I'm home. | left a night light turned on for you. I'm going to bed now.]
Luke immediately replied to her message this time: [Okay. I'll have to stay a little longer. Get srest. Good
night.]
Luca looked at his message as the corner of her lips curved into a smile.
[Good night.] After Luca replied to his message, she covered herself with the blanket and lay down on the bed.
On the other hand...
Jim watched Luke sit there as he looked at his phone with a faint smile on his face. He tapped the table with
dissatisfaction. "What's the point of having a gathering if you're here sending messages to a woman?"
Luke put away his phone, picked up his glass, and sneered. "Are you jealous?"
"I have a family too. Do | have to be jealous of you?" Jim answered disdainfully.
He had Scarlet as his wife. He was not envious of anyone.
"It's hard to tell," Luke replied calmly. "Your wife didn't call you."
"That's because | told her
beforehand. You don't understand.

"Tsk. The guy who used to chant 'long live the bachelor’ is now trapped by a woman." Percy went along with it.

However, Jim remained carefree, and whenever someone urged him to settle down, he would always say that he
preferred being single.
Hence, when everyone thought that Jim would stay single for a long time, Scarlet showed up in his life.
Moreover, they always displayed their affection for each other in front of everyone.
"You don't understand. It's called sweet bondage. By the way, what's wrong with you? Are you helping Luke to
tease me? What about Nina? Isn't Nina your sweet bondage too?" Jim questioned him.
"Nah. It's sweet, but not binding. Nina
never constrains me." Percy smiled

interrupted them. Even though Luca

What he wanted was for Luca to stand by his side again as Bianca. She should not have to be afraid of being
discovered by the media or being mistaken as a mistress.
