Chapter 1236 However, This Time, He Could Not Have Known


    Lanie and Rainie came to see what kind of person it was who could make Tommy talk about her


    cooking non-stop. They also wanted to see if the other party wanted to use Tommy to approach their


    father.


    After all, there had been quite a few women like that over the years.


    Luca''s eyes were filled with tears when she heard the kids greeting her. She was moved when she saw


    how tall Lanie and Rainie had be. ’ Hello,e in."


    She reached her hand out to both of them.


    Rainie felt inexplicably affectionate toward Luca and held her hand. "Okay."


    Lanie felt the same way as her sister but chose to nod coolly. They then walked into the apartment


    together.


    Zander smiled and said, "Ms. Luca, thank you for the trouble."


    Luca was surprised. "Zander, won''t youe in and have dinner with us?" "I don''t have time. I have to


    send documents to the boss," Zander shook his head and said.


    Luca was surprised. Luke must have agreed to him leaving the children here to send the documents to


    him.


    ''He agreed to let me take care of the kids? He''s suspicious by nature... That shouldn''t be the case...


    Could it be that he trusts me?''


    However, based on their previous encounters and the conversation in the meeting room, it did not


    make sense that Luke trusted her...


    "Okay." Luca did not force him to stay knowing that he had a task at hand.


    Zander nced at the time, then smiled and said, "Ms. Luca, I''ll pick them up around nine o''clock. See


    youter."


    When Tommy heard that, he immediately said, "Zander, you cane here a littleter than nine."


    "Young Master Tommy, you have to go to ss tomorrow and need to rest early. I''ll pick you up at nine


    o''clock. Your father will scold me if I send you homete." Zander insisted. Nine o''clock was the time


    that Luke and Tommy had agreed on.


    Tommy pursed his mouth. He made a bunch of promises just so he coulde to Luca''s ce.


    For example, hepromised and agreed to reduce the time he had to watch cartoons by half an hour.


    Zander smiled and nodded. He then turned and left.


    Luca still could not believe it. Luke trusted her enough to leave the three children by her side for a few


    hours. In a daze, she thought about the first time she returned to A City after studying abroad.


    Luke knew that Lanie and Rainie were her kids, so he tried her best to let her take care of them...


    However, this time, he could not have known.


    Luca closed the door in a daze.


    Tommy took a deep breath and smelled the cake. His eyes lit up as he asked, "Ms. Luca, are you


    hiding some delicious food?"


    Luca came back to her senses. She looked at the child''s bright eyes, smiled, and said, "I knew you


    wereing so I made a cake, but you’ll have to wait for a while before you can eat it." "Cake? Rainie


    loves cakes!" Tommy grinned and took Rainie''s hand. He said, "Rainie, didn’t I tell you that Ms. Luca is


    the best? She made you a cake! Ms. Luca, we all like to eat cakes."


    Rainie touched Tommy''s chubby face. She was happy because she loved cakes, but she was picky


    and only liked to eat the cakes made by her mother.


    The chef in Crawford Manor had tried a variety of recipes to make all kinds of cakes to bring a smile to


    her face. In the end, only one recipe worked as it tasted a bit like the ones Bianca used to make, so


    she would only eat that.


    She was not a fan of those made by others or bought from local shops.


    However, her mother...


    Luca looked at the kids. They had grown a little taller and their fleshy faces had be thinner, but the


    rest was still the same.


    "I''m happy if you''re happy," she smiled and said.


    "Thank you, Ms. Luca. I’m Rainie. This is my brother, nche. You can call him Lanie.” Rainie looked


    at Luca''s smile. The feeling of intimacy and familiarity in her heart got stronger. She could not help but


    introduce herself.


    Lanie heard this and said coolly, "Hello, Ms. Luca." "Okay, you can sit down for a while. The cake will


    be ready soon," Luca said. In addition to the cake, she had also prepared some fruits that the children


    used to love.


    Looking at the fruits on the coffee table, Tommy cheered and asked, "Ms.


    Luca, do you have any other snacks?"


    Luca smiled and nodded at Tommy''s cheeky appearance. "Yes, but you can eat them only after you


    finish your meal. Have some fruits first."


    As soon as she said that, the oven rang to indicate that the cake was ready. Luca said, "The cake is


    ready, I''ll take it out for you but don''t eat too much. There’s still dinnerter."


    Tommy patted his stomach and replied, "Ms. Luca, don''t worry. My stomach can hold a lot of food. I''ll


    finish everything that you prepare."


    Luca smiled and shook her head. ''How big can a child''s stomach be?’ She only said that because she


    did not want them to be too full. "I’ll take three out first. You can take the rest back after dinner."


    Rainie, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at this scene with deep emotions stirring in her heart.


    Their father and grandfather were strict with them. They never allowed them any snacks before meals.


    However, their fake mom was different. To please them, she secretly gave them snacks.


    No matter what it was, both sides were overdoing it. She thought that Luca was different from them.


    Compared to being overly strict or indulgent, Rainie found her approach morefortable.


    Luca took out three cakes from the oven. The cakes were not big but they were just right as snacks


    before meals. They were delicious and nutritious.


    She carefully put the cakes on tes, prepared some forks, and ced them on the coffee table.


    "Okay, enjoy. I''ll cook dinner." "Thank you, Ms. Luca!" The kids thanked her in unison.


    Luca smiled, walked into the kitchen, and started preparing dinner for them.


    It was not that she did not want to spend more time with them, she just did not want them to be hungry.


    Rainie took in the aroma of the cake but did not pick up the fork. There was the sound of water flowing


    from the kitchen.


    Tommy had already picked up a fork and taken some to eat. "Wow, it''s delicious!"


    When he saw that Rainie was not trying it, Tommy said, "Rainie, why don''t you have some?"


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Rainie shook her head. Seeing her brother''s gluttonous appearance, she smiled and said, "Is it


    delicious? If you like it, you can have mine too."


    Although it was delicious, Tommy resisted the urge to take her piece.


    Instead, he asked, "Rainie, don''t you love cakes?" "Yeah." Rainie smiled without exining any further.


    Lanie knew why Rainie was acting like this. He picked up the fork, took a bite, and his eyes widened.
