Jack shook his head and said, “No, that can’t be. Luca isn’t like that.”


    After all his years as a politician, he was a good judge of character. He did not believe that Luca was


    someone who would befriend the three children just to get close to Luke.


    Moreover, she did not seem intimate with Luke.


    “You’re not thinking about this carefully enough…” After so many years married, Queenie knew what


    Jack was thinking without him saying it.


    “Do you think that Luca and Luke are innocent just because they’re not physically intimate with each


    other? There are some things that adults can hide but children can’t, Jack. Look at our three


    grandchildren. They don’t show any resistance toward Luca at all. It means that they’re very familiar


    with Luca. I know what your worries are. Even though there’s nothing between Luca and Luke now,


    who can tell what will happen in the future? Bea is still overseas, and I think we should keep an eye on


    Luke for her…”


    “Well, I still trust Luca. Even if I don’t trust her, I trust Luke. He’s not that kind of man who would shift


    loyalties,” Jack said.


    Queenie also trusted Luke’s character. Even though he might be involved in scandals from time to time,


    he had always refrained frommenting on any of them, believing that his innocence will be proven


    by his silence. Every time, he would turn out to be right; the supermodels and actresses were the ones


    to have ulterior motives.


    However, Bianca was not in the country now, and no one was keeping an eye on Luke.


    Any man would have been restless by now…


    She trusted Luke, but she was worried that Luca might use the children to get close to him…


    Once a man made a mistake, he would continue making that mistake many more times…


    Their daughter would be the one to suffer.


    “Regardless of Luca’s character, I hope you can find a chance to talk to Luke tomorrow, alright?”


    Queenie asked.


    Jack thought that Queenie should not worry, but it was alreadyte, and they needed to rest. He


    nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll talk to Luke tomorrow.”


    “Mm.” Queenie nodded. She finished applying her moisturizer, got on the bed, and hugged Jack to


    sleep.


    Meanwhile, Lucay on the sofa bed and flipped around. She could not sleep at all.


    A short whileter, the door to the yroom opened.


    Luca immediately sat up and turned on the table light. She noticed Tommy tiptoeing into the room and


    asked, “Tommy? It’s already sote. Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”


    Tommy grinned when he saw that Luca was not asleep yet. “You’re not sleeping either, Ms. Luca.”


    Luca beckoned at Tommy and asked him to go over.


    Tommy went over and stood next to her. “Why haven’t you fallen asleep, Ms. Luca? Is the bed too


    small?”


    “No, it’s just that I’m not used to sleeping in unfamiliar environments. How about you? I know that you


    don’t have to go to school tomorrow, but it’s not healthy to stay up sote,” Luca said as she gently


    touched the tip of Tommy’s nose.


    “I was worried that you can’t sleep, so I’m here to exchange bed with you. I’m small, so I don’t mind


    sleeping on this sofa bed. You’re different though. You should go and sleep in the bedroom…” Tommy


    said while pointing at the door.


    Luca smiled and shook her head. “It’s fine. You should go to bed. You shouldn’t be sleeping sote


    anyway.”


    “No. You should go and sleep in the bedroom, Ms. Luca. You’ll be much morefortable on the big


    bed,” Tommy said. He was a considerate boy.


    Luca was grateful for the offer, but she knew that she should not go. “I can’t do that. Your elder siblings


    and your Daddy are all there. I can’t sleep there.”


    “Why not?” Tommy looked at her and asked curiously.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    “Of course not. Your Daddy and I are both adults. He’s a man, and I’m a woman. Only a man and a


    woman who are married can sleep together,” Luca exined to him, not worrying that Tommy might be


    too young to understand it.


    He would have to know about it sooner orter anyway, and it was a good opportunity to educate him.


    “Oh, if it’s like that…” Tommy nodded and continued asking, “What about an adult and children then?


    Can they sleep together?”


    “Of course they can. You’ve slept in my bed before, right?” Luca said while pinching his plump cheeks.


    If Tommy would grow up the same way as Lanie, his round face would eventually be sharper. She


    wanted to pinch his face while it was still round.


    “That settles it then. You shoulde over and sleep with us. Daddy can sleep on the floor.” Tommy


    held her hand and wanted to lead her out of the room.


    “I can’t do that.” Luca remained seated on the sofa bed.


    Tommy turned around and looked at Luca with puppy eyes. “Can’t you apany me, Ms. Luca?”


    Luca knew that Tommy was only faking it, but she asked anyway, “Isn’t your Daddy there to apany


    you? Also, you’re a big boy now. Do you still need your parents to sleep with you?”


    “Ms. Luca, that’s my Mommy’s room. I haven’t seen her for a long time, and I can’t sleep because I


    miss her. You remind me a lot of my Mommy, so I thought of asking you,” Tommy said. He blinked hard,


    which caused tears to appear in his eyes.


    “But your Daddy…” Luca remained hesitant.


    “Daddy said that he’ll sleep on the floor if you agree to go over,” Tommy said.


    Luca raised her eyebrows. She did not expect that Luke was still awake and had been discussing it


    with the children.


    It meant that he probably heard Leia too…


    However, Luke did note out of the room and catch her in the act. The only exnation was that he


    had other ns.


    “Let’s go. I’ll bring you there.” Luca could not bear to see the child cry.


    When Tommy said that he missed his mother, she felt quite emotional…


    Tommy led Luca into Bianca’s bedroom. From the nightlight, Luca saw Luke sitting on the couch


    instead of sleeping on the bed.


    “Mr. Crawford? Why aren’t you resting yet…” Luca asked.


    Luke nced at Tommy, then at Luca. The nightlight outlined a beautiful silhouette on her face.


    “The children said they miss their Mommy. I can’t sleep,” he said.


    Just as he finished speaking, Rainie, who was sitting on the bed, said, “Ms. Luca, I miss my Mommy


    too.”


    Luca looked at the children. Even Lanie was sitting on the bed. She thought that all of them had fallen


    asleep…


    “What are you going to do?” She asked.


    Luke remained seated. “The children aren’t usually like this. They’re emotional because this is their


    mother’s bedroom. Why don’t you apany them to sleep today? The bed is spacious enough to fit


    four people.”
