Chapter 306 In An Act of Impulse, She Kissed Him


    Leia''s mannerisms were elegant. Each of her movements exuded charm." Long time no see, Aunt


    Allison."


    She said gingerly when she saw that Luke was also there. "You''re here too,


    Mr. Crawford..."


    Luke nodded at her as a courtesy.


    Allison stood up and greeted her warmly. "Make yourself at home, Leia. You''re not at work now, so why


    are you calling him Mr. Crawford? You can call him Luke." "That''s not very appropriate, right?" Leia was


    talking to Allison, but her shy gaze drifted to Luke.


    Allison held Leia''s slender hand and said excitedly, "It''s just a name. I don''t think he''s so petty that he


    wouldn''t want someone else to call him by his first name! I was wondering why haven''t youe to


    visit me for more than a week, and now you''re here."


    Luke subconsciously frowned.

    He did not know that Leia had be so close with his mother.


    Leia''s impable face blushed when she heard Allison''s words. "I''m here to deliver you a present,


    Aunt Allison. Do you remember the ruby tiara that we saw at the jeweler''s thest time we went


    shopping, and it was out of stock? I was there two days ago, and they''ve brought in some new designs.


    I saw one that was simr to the one that you like, and so I bought it for you."


    Leia took out an intricate wooden box and handed it to Allison.


    Allison opened it and saw that it was the exact ruby tiara that she wanted!


    The tiara had a flower-and-leaf motif and was adorned with pearls and rhinestones. Every gem was


    sparkling and clear while the pearls were gleaming. It looked extravagant but not tacky.


    Allison adored the tiara.


    She might not be too well-versed with manners and etiquette, but she knew how to dress up. If she did


    not open her mouth, she would pass for a noble socialite.


    She stroked the tiara and said emotionally, "You''re so considerate, Leia. I''d die happy if Luke were half


    as considerate as you."


    Leia smiled sweetly. ''I''m sure that Luke loves you very much, Aunt Allison. He''s probably busy with his


    work, and he doesn''t have that much time to apany you."


    Allison felt relieved when she heard that.


    She wore the tiara on her immactely permed hair and asked Leia, "How do I look, Leia?”


    Allison was currently wearing a dark-blue handmade gown at that moment. She might be in her fifties,


    but her entire get-up made her look ssic and noble. One could see how beautiful she was in her


    younger days.


    "The tiara looks very good on you, Aunt Allison. Your gown looks fabulous too..." Leia praised.


    Allison could not stop grinning. "You have a silver tongue, Leia. I''d be overjoyed if I have a daughter


    like you. Luke bought this gown for my birthday a few months ago." "Luke has good taste, Aunt


    Allison," Leia continued to heap on the ttery." I wouldn''t have been able to pick a gown that would


    match your personality.


    "If you like it, I''ll get Luke to buy another gown for you," Allison said.


    Leia shyly lowered her head and said nothing.


    Allison did not stop dressing down Luke. "I''d rather give birth to a daughter. See how considerate Leia


    can be? She remembers what I like and came here to give it to me. What can you do other than make


    me angry?''


    Luke did not reply. He leaned back on the couch and silently watched the financial news on the


    television.


    While Leia chatted with Allison, her eyes asionally stole nces at Luke. The infatuation in her eyes


    was evident.


    Allison knew what the young woman was thinking, and she did not call her out. They continued chatting


    for a long time.


    Seeing that it was gettingte, Leia got up and excused herself.


    It was drizzling outside, and the north wind was blowing. Stepping out of the warm house, Leia was


    suddenly plunged into a bone-chilling cold. Allison wanted Leia to stay the night, but Leia knew that her


    father would not be happy if she did not return.


    Allison tried to create an opportunity for her son. "I won''t be at ease if Leia has to go home in such


    terrible weather. Why don’t you send her home?"


    The weather might be cold, but the city remained bustling. Many cars traveled on the expressway,


    though the traffic was slightly lighter than before.


    Crawford Manor was at the east of the city. It was about an hour''s drive away from Leia''s house.


    Leia was very excited as she sat in the heated luxury car.


    She looked at the noble gentleman at the wheel and said softly, "Thank you for sending me home."


    "Don''t mention it," Luke said impassively.


    His expression darkened when he saw the heavy traffic in front of him.


    ''What''s wrong with everyone? Why is everyone out on the road despite the terrible weather?''


    At that moment, he wished that he was hugging Bianca in his arms in her apartment. It was only with


    her that he would shed all pretenses and be his true self...


    The two people did not speak much on the journey.


    Leia tried to find a conversation topic, but Luke was not interested in engaging. She eventually kept


    quiet and silently took in the man''s cool scent.


    Just when she was lost in thought, thinking about how she should get closer to him, the car suddenly


    stopped.


    "We''re here." Luke parked the car in front of the Norman family mansion.


    Leia was brought out of her fantasies. She looked at the front gate of her house, then at Luke''s


    handsome profile. Suddenly, she leaned close and kissed his cheek, then ran out of the car while


    blushing...


    Luke was stunned. He did not expect that Leia would do that. Instead of counting his lucky stars, he


    took out a clean handkerchief and wiped his cheek repeatedly with disgust.


    Then, he tossed the handkerchief into the trash can!


    The silver car sped away like a violent wave and disappeared into the dark night...
