Everyone could see Luke''s affection for her.


    Even after she had changed her identity, Luke still treated her...


    The thought of her having intimate contact with Luke before made her cheeks flush.


    Old Master Crawford noticed her blushing and guessed that her feelings for Luke were not that simple,


    so he deliberately let out a long sigh. “These problems have bothered me for a long time. That''s why I


    haven''t been able to sleep and eat well."


    "The children can take care of themselves. Don''t worry so much about them. Your health is the most


    important. Maybe one day, Mr. Crawford will be more open-minded. Then you won''t have to worry,"


    Luca patted his hand andforted him.


    A light shed before Old Master Crawford''s cloudy eyes. After hearing her words, he asked, "Luca, do


    you really think he would open his mind?"


    Luca froze. Would Luke really open his mind?


    It had been so many years, but she had never heard of Luke having any sort of rtionship before her


    return. She also heard the kids mention that even when there was the fake Bianca around, he seemed


    to only do his part as a husband but the love was not there.


    Now, he was expressing great interest in her.


    No matter how much had changed, the soul inside her was still Bianca.


    Would he really open his mind?


    Luca did not know, but she could only choose aforting answer to face the old master''s inquiries.


    "Mr. Crawford is such a capable person. Of course, he would open his mind."


    Old Master Crawford pouted and shook his head. "How nice would it be if he was open-minded, but


    after your words today, I''ve be open-minded. You''re right. The kids can take care of themselves!"


    Luca smiled gently when she saw the old master loosen up. He had guarded the Crawford family for


    most of his life. Luke would want the old master to enjoy his blessings. Hence, if she could help the old


    master rx a little, she would try her best to do so.


    Old Master Crawford looked at Luca''s warm smile and suddenly remembered the real Bianca.

    She was also a delicate woman who did not argue or quarrel. She only gently took care of her small


    family.


    However, she was not harmless. As long as someone dared to hurt her family, she would definitely


    stand up to protect them. Although the Luca in front of him had featurespletely different from


    Bianca, she gave him the same feeling as Bianca.


    "It''s good that you''re opening your mind," said Luca.


    Old Master Crawford sighed again. "Luca, I really like the way you speak. Your words are sensible,


    which makes people feel better after hearing them. You''re much more sociable than those who only


    argue facts. I still prefer talking with you. Don''t be so busy in the future ande over to visit more.


    Apany this old man who doesn''t have much time left on this earth and chat with me.


    "Bah, bah, bah!" Luca knew he said that on purpose to get her toe over more often, so she


    hurriedly tried to stop the old master from jinxing himself.


    The old master''s fondness toward her took her by surprise...


    "Old Master Crawford, if you want me toe over more often to chat with you in the future, you have


    to stop saying such unlucky words. You''ll live a long life," said Luca.


    The words ''long life'' put a big smile on Old Master Crawford''s face. Nobody wanted to die, even if they


    already had a taste of every luxurious or despondent experience the universe had to offer. Who wanted


    to leave just like that?


    Of course, one would choose to live life if one could. Old Master Crawford said this on purpose just to


    tease Luca while trying to help Luke at the same time.


    "Fine, fine. I''ll try my best to live up to a hundred, then. I''ll nag at you every day."


    Just as the old master stopped talking, there was a knock on the study room door. Mr. Griffin''s voice


    could be heard. "Old Master Crawford."


    "Come in," said Old Master Crawford.


    The butler pushed the door open but did not walk in. He said with downcast eyes, "Old Master


    Crawford, the kitchen has prepared dinner, and Second Young Master and the others have returned."


    "Then inform the kitchen to serve the food." Old Master Crawford rolled his sleeve down and stood up


    with his cane. "Luca, let''s go eat dinner."


    "Alright, Old Master Crawford." Luca nodded and took the initiative to assist him, but she could not help


    butin to herself.


    After what had happened in the living room earlier, Susan certainly would not stop there. At the dinner


    tableter, Luca would have to endure more mocking.


    That was thest thing she wanted to see.


    Luca was not afraid of being targeted by Susan as she would not have many chances toe here in


    the future, even if she had made a promise to the old master. She could use work as an excuse, and


    the old master would understand.


    She was worried that Susan''s mocking behavior would have a bad influence on the children''s minds.


    When Susan and Allison used to go to war with each other, she would always take her children away to


    avoid them being affected by their words as it was not good for the development of the children.


    At the dinner table this time, the children would be able to hear a lot of Susan''s words.


    Old Master Crawford walked out of the study and nced at Luca. He knew what she was thinking, so


    he tried tofort her. "Luca, don''t worry. No one will dare to wag their tongue at the dinner table."


    Luca''s lips curled into a smile. The only person wagging their tongue all this time was Susan.


    Although Yuri was also upset, she would not dare say anything in front of so many elders, so the one


    who started it was always Susan.


    After these past few years, Luca had a good grasp of the two wives of Luke''s father. They were both


    troublesome.


    One was mad while the other was crazy. If she had topare, perhaps Susan was a little better.


    Besides, she had not done anything to betray the Crawford family for money as of now.


    Luca assisted the old master into the dining room. The younger generation of the Crawford family was


    already sitting at the dining table.


    Susan stared at Luca holding Old Master Crawford''s arm and could not resist squeezing Yuri''s arm.


    "Mom?" Yuri felt pain as she helplessly called out to her while looking at her with confusion.


    “You foolish girl. Why are you so ignorant? Look at others, then look at you. When dinner was called,


    you just sat straight down without helping out. Don''t you know how to assist your grandfather?" said


    Susan. The simple tasks had been taken by Luca, so she must have gotten brownie points from the old


    master. Susan thought that Yuri simply did not know how to handle things.


    Yuri looked at Old Master Crawford, then at Luca. After seeing her actions, she instantly understood


    what Susan meant.


    The old master had always been supported by the butler. It would never be her turn to do these things,


    so she never realized this in the first ce. She stood up reluctantly and cursed Luca under her breath


    for being nosy.


    The butler stood at the side. Why was she trying to help? What a brown-noser.


    "Alright, sit down." Old Master Crawford saw the reluctance in Yuri''s eyes and grunted.


    He had originally quite liked his granddaughter-inw, Yuri. After all, she was born into a well-known


    family and was considered to be graceful and knowledgeable.
