Chapter 2725 His Once Beloved Wife
Luke originally wanted the stylist to give her a more glamorous look, but after listening to her opinion, he went
with her idea.
She looked pretty even with a simple look.
Luca felt his eyes on her, and she started breathing faster.
“Mr. Crawford, the ceremony is about to begin,” Luca reminded softly. If they stayed in here any longer, people
would start to misunderstand.
Mo knew that she was inside.
With a guy and a girl were alone in a lounge, it would be hard for other people to not overthink.
“What did you just call me?” Luke narrowed his eyes to show dissatisfaction. Was she using this alienating title
on purpose to keep her distance from him?
“This is a public setting, and the people from Watson Biopharmaceuticals are inside." Luca knew that calling him
that would upset him, so she had to explain.
"Uh-huh." Luke was still unhappy.
What did those people have to do with him?
She was his beloved wife.
“Luke...” Seeing his expression, Luca had no choice but to compromise and call his name.
The knit in Luke's brows loosened up, and he showed a little smile. If someone saw her face right now, they
would have thought that Luke was bullying her.
How could he ever bully her?
He just did not like Luca being all timid and cowardly.
She was supposed to be the woman next to him. The confidence and aura she worked so hard to build up in the
past should not be dimmed down by such cowardice...
"Is there a reason why you calledin here?" Luca asked.
"| just wanted to see what the stylist had done for you," said Luke. Although he could see it outside, there were
too many people, and he did not want to be distracted by others when he was focusing on her.
Therefore, he hid in this lounge and asked Mo to bring her in.
"You could've just looked atoutside." Luca did not understand why he did this.
"There are too many people outside. | wouldn't be able to see clearly." Luke held her hand and complimented
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther, “You're beautiful. You look great."
"Now that you've seen me, I'll go out, then.” Luca blushed at his compliment and withdrew her hand before
walking out without waiting for his permission.
She could not go out with Luke at the stime. Otherwise, it would cause a commotion.
Luke could not help but shake his head as he watched Luca push open the door of the lounge and walk out. She
was shy...
After all these years, she was still the sgirl back in high school who would blush at just a glance from him.
Luca returned to her seat.
When people saw her, they started surrounding her again. Mo said, “Everyone, please return to your seats. The
ceremony is about to begin."
When they heard her, they all stopped and went back to their seats.
Luca gave Mo a nod as her words saved her a lot of trouble.
Mo nodded back, and then she heard Dr. Jackson cover to ask, "Is Mr. Crawford not coming?"
"He's coming. He'll be here in about five minutes,” said Mo after glancing at the time.
"Very well, then. Ms. Stone, please tell the hotel manager to get ready to serve the food," said Dr. Jackson.
Although this was a celebration dinner, it was also a team-bonding activity.
Feasting was the most important thing.
Mo nodded and notified Luke that the ceremony was about to start before going to find the hotel manager. After
Luke received Mo's message, he closed the page and told Marcos that he had to attend a ceremony. Then, he
kept his phone away before leaving the lounge.
His appearance becthe focus of everyone present.
"Good evening, Mr. Crawford."
"Hello, Mr. Crawford."
Everywhere he went, there was an endless stream of greetings.
Luke nodded slightly and walked to Luca's table. Then, he asked her, “Dr. Craw, is anyone sitting here?” Luca
noticed that the seat next to her was indeed vacant, and it would not be nice of her to lie with so many people
watching, so she bit the bullet and said, "No one is sitting here."
“I'll sit here, then," said Luke while completely ignoring the table full of executives.
After sitting down, he looked at all the stunned research professors and said, “Professors, you've worked hard. |
hope that you'll continue doing your best in the new year and achieve greater things for Watson
Biopharmaceuticals."
"Mr. Crawford is right. We'll work even harder." Dr. Linwood was not expecting Luke to sit at their table. He
glanced at Luca and wondered if there was actually something going on between the two of them.
Why did he feel that both of them had a lot of history between them?
Dr. Linwood was taken aback when he met Luke's gaze, which seemed like a warning...
He quickly averted his gaze. Even though he was curious, he dared not to look anymore.
After seeing that everyone was there, Mo asked the hotel manager to start serving the dishes.
Instantly, all kinds of exquisite dishes were served by the hotel staff.
The banquet hall becmuch livelier all of a sudden.
Luca ate silently while watching Luke closely from the corner of her eye as she was worried that he might do
something to cause a commotion at the table.
Luke noticed that she was looking at
him and knew what she was worried
about. Although IeyRenatrent)

food, he said, "The food here is

After asking Luca for her opinion and knowing that she did not have anything in mind, he had Mo and Dr. Jackson
decide on the place and menu.
"Yes, Mr. Crawford. My wife likes the food in this hotel the most, and we chere every month. That's why |
chose this place." Dr. Jackson was secretly happy to hear his approval.
The position of head of department had been vacant ever since Dr. Cole got fired. Dr. Albus was most likely to be
promoted to the position, but things happened before he even got appointed.
Now that Luke approved of him, there seemed to be hope for him to bechead of department.

“Very good." Luke did not say anything else.
After almost all the dishes were
served, Mo walked over to reming Dr.

Did that mean that she had to go on stage?
Luca had no clue.
After seeing how shocked Luca was, Luke chuckled.
After hearing the sound of laughter, Luca frowned at him.
"Dr. Craw, | had you dress up because you had to go on stage to give a speech." Seeing her face, Luke knew
that she must not care too much about this event.
