<h1><strong>Chapter 1405 She Did That for Rainie</strong></h1>


    Luca did not have any children, but she prepared those cupcake boxes...


    It was as though she was doing that for Rainie.


    Luke did not voice his thoughts. Looking at the clock, he stood up.


    Before he said anything, Luca picked up Tommy''s backpack.


    "Ms. Luca?" Tommy did not understand what Luca was doing. At the same time, Luke also looked at her.


    Luca felt a little awkward being stared at like that. She handed the backpack to Luke and cleared her throat. "It''s gettingte, Mr. Crawford. Tommy needs to go home.”


    "But I want to watch the cartoon before I go, Ms. Luca,” Tommy said as he looked at the clock on the wall. It was only eight o''clock, which was one hour earlier than the usual time.


    Luca thought for a while and said, "The cupcakes won''t be as nice if you eat themter.”


    Tommy thought that it made sense. He knew that Lanie and Rainie wanted to taste Luca''s cooking again, but only he had the chance to do so. He nodded, took the backpack, and waved his hand reluctantly. "Alright then, we should go.”


    Luke did not object to it. He picked up the box of cupcakes and the briefcase from the coffee table. Tommy grabbed his shirt sleeve obediently. Luca noticed that Luke''s coat was hanging on the rack, so she went over, picked it up, and handed it to him. "Your coat, Mr. Crawford."


    Luke took the coat and nodded. "Thank you."Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Luca smiled. Their fingers touched when Luca handed the coat to him, and it brought back sweet memories from the past. She could feel a warm current coursing through her body.


    Luca gently rubbed her fingers and tried hard not to look emotional.


    After Tommy stepped out of the apartment, he turned around and waved at Luca. "Goodbye, Ms. Luca.”


    "Bye." Luca came to her senses and waved her hand.


    As usual, she watched the father and son enter the elevator before closing the door.


    She was alone in the living room, but the television was on. Tommy''s favorite cartoon had started airing.


    Tears welled up in Luca''s eyes as she listened to the voices in the cartoon. That was Tommy''s favorite cartoon since three years ago. Back then, if Luke did not have to work overtime in the office, the family of five would have dinner together, and Luke and she would sit together with Tommy to watch the cartoon.


    She missed those times...


    Luca picked up the remote control and turned off the television.


    It was still early. Luca went into Amur''s bedroom and continued the research on the antidote.


    Even though the police did not divulge too much information, Luca could tell that the impostor was not murdered. Instead, she died because she did not take the antidote in time.


    She knew that as much as Luke cared for her, he would not take another person''s life so easily. It was the same for Gale and Rain. In their training on the Ind of Despair, they would have learned how to torture someone without causing anysting damage.


    Creating the antidote was an arduous process. Luca patiently analyzed theponents


    Meanwhile, Tommy and Luke left the apartmentplex. After they got into the car, he said sternly to his father, "Daddy, can you smile a little more?"


    "Why?" Luke raised his eyebrows as he started the car and drove toward Crawford Manor.


    "I think that you look too serious. The other kids are afraid of you. Even Ms. Luca is afraid of you. Whenever you''re around, the other kids don''t dare to approach me, and I don''t have any friends," Tommyined.


    "You have many friends.” Luke was not so easily deceived. Even though he was too busy most of the time to pick up his son from school, he knew very well about Tommy''s situation in school.


    Tommy was outgoing and friendly, and he was beloved by many teachers and ssmates.


    "You''ve been asking my teacher about me, haven''t you?" Tommy said and wagged his legs. "Yes, I have a lot of friends at school, but Daddy, haven''t you noticed that Ms. Luca is awkward whenever you''re around? She would usually fill my dinner te, but she didn''t do that today. Your stern face must have scared her off."


    Tommy was capable of taking food for himself, but he preferred to let Luca do it for him. That way, he would feel that he was Luca''s favorite child.


    Tommy could sense that Luca''s behavior was different today. He realized that it was because of his father.


    He guessed that Luca was intimidated by his father''s stern expression.


    Tommy rested his chin on his hands and nced at Luke. He had rarely seen his father smile. Did Luke not know how to smile?


    That was not the case either...


    "Why do you think that I''m scaring her off?" Luke did not immediately answer Tommy''s request. Luca had been serious and meticulous in front of him. Sometimes, he could tell that her expressions and actions were unnatural, as though she was afraid of him.


    The dinner should have been a casual affair, but to him, it was more important to find out more about Luca''s background. He could not let his guard down, and he behaved how he usually did. "You''re so moody, Daddy, and Ms. Luca is so kind and gentle. She''d definitely be scared of you,” Tommy spoke up for Luca.


    "If what you say is true, should I apologize to her?" Luke continued the conversation while driving. Tommy nodded without thinking too much about it. "It''d be great if you could apologize to her, but I''ve never seen you apologize to anyone.”


    Luke was at a loss for a reply. He did not expect his son to take his answer so seriously.


    Indeed, he would not easily apologize. In his life, he had only apologized to two people.


    The first was Old Master Crawford, and the second was Bianca.


    He used to make Bianca cry because he did not know how to express his love for her. Whenever that happened, he would apologize to her.


    He thought for a while and realized that no one else could make him apologize to them.


    Seeing that his father did not say anything, Tommy nced at him and said seriously, "How are you going to apologize to her then?"


    "We''ll see about that,” Luke replied. He was thinking about Bianca, and ripples of emotion appeared in his previous still mind.


    Tommy turned his head and looked outside of the window. "Your apology has to be genuine. Otherwise, Ms. Luca won''t ept it."


    Eventually, he arrived at Crawford Manor. Old Master Crawford was enjoying some tea in the living room, and the light fragrance of the tea filled the living room.
