Luca and Rainie were baking cookies in the kitchen, while Aunt Neile was tidying up the living room.


    The vi''s telephone rang. Aunt Neile answered the call with a puzzled look on her face. After all,


    people nowadays used smartphones, and there was hardly anyone who would call the vi''sndline


    number. The telephone was basically a decoration in the house. Besides, it was the first time the


    telephone rang after she started working here.


    "Hello, this is theCrawford family." Aunt Neile picked up the receiver.


    “Is Luca there?” Luke''s voice came from the other end of the line.


    Aunt Neile was startled for a moment, and she replied, "Mr. Crawford? You''re looking for Ms. Craw,


    right?"


    "Is she in the vi?" Luke asked.


    "Yes. Ms. Craw is in the kitchen. She''s baking cookies with Ms. Rainie. Do you need me to inform her


    to pick up your call?" Aunt Neile asked.


    "Never mind. If she''s at the vi, then it''s fine," said Luke. He called Luca after the meeting ended, but


    no one was answering the call.


    Hence, he called Aunt Neile, but she did not answer the call either.


    He had no choice but to dial the vi''sndline number.


    "Okay, Mr. Crawford," Aunt Neile was confused. Luke called to ask about Luca, but he did not ask her


    to answer the call. That was weird.


    Luke added, "Aunt Neile, bring your phone with you when you''re doing house chores. I need you to


    pick up my calls if anything happens."


    "Oh, I''m sorry, Mr. Crawford." Aunt Neile knew Luke had tried to call her when he told her that, but she


    had been carrying her phone with her. She did not hear her phone ring, though. She took her phone out


    of her pocket and realized she had no idea when her phone had been switched to airne mode.


    "My kids must''ve touched my phone and switched it to airne mode. That''s why I didn''t hear the


    phone ringing. I''m sorry," exined Aunt Neile.


    "It''s okay. I''ll be back in a few days. Take good care of them." Luke hung up the call after that.


    Aunt Neile listened to the busy toneing from the other end of the line. She hung up the call even


    though she thought it was strange. Then, she turned off airne mode on her phone. She could not


    help but mutter to herself, "It looks like I can''t let the kids mess with my phone anymore. Otherwise,


    they''ll turn on the airne mode again and I''ll miss Mr. Crawford''s calls. I''ll be fired sooner orter if


    that happens again."


    Luca walked out of the kitchen and heard Aunt Neile muttering to herself. She asked with curiosity,


    "Aunt Neile, what are you saying?"


    Aunt Neile put her phone back into her pocket and replied, "Nothing. Mr. Crawford called thendline


    just now. That was when I realized my grandson had turned on the airne mode and Mr. Crawford


    couldn''t reach me just now."


    Luca''s face was slightly red when she heard it was Luke who called. Then, she recalled what Rainie


    told her.


    "What did Mr. Crawford says?" Luca asked.


    "Nothing. He just asked if you''re in the vi. He didn''t say anything and hung up the call when he found


    out that Ms. Rainie and you were baking in the kitchen." Aunt Neile expressed this in her own words.


    Luca raised her brows. Luke called just to find out if she was in the vi?


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Was he looking for her or not, then?


    Luca could not guess it and asked, "Aunt Neile, where did you put the icing sugar for the cookies? I


    need it."


    "The icing sugar... Let me get it for you. The previous bag was finished, but I haven''t been using it


    lately. That''s why I didn''t take a new one out." Aunt Neile put down the vacuum and marched into the


    kitchen. She took a bag of icing sugar out of the shelf.


    Aunt Neile smiled when she saw that Rainie''s hands were covered with flour. She said, "Way to go, Ms.


    Rainie."


    "Aunt Neile, I''ll give you some cookiester." Rainie smiled and looked at Luca.


    "Sure. Ms. Rainie''s cookies must be good." Aunt Neile agreed with her, then she turned to look at Luca.


    "Ms. Craw, I''m going out to continue with the house chores if there''s nothing else that you need."


    "Okay." Luca opened the seal of the icing sugar pack and poured some on the scale. Then, she mixed


    it with the butter.


    Rainie was standing beside her, watching her.


    Half an hourter, the aroma of cookies filled the air.


    Rainie carried the cookies on a te and walked out of the kitchen. She said, "Aunt Neile, the cookies


    are done. Come on here and try them."


    Aunt Neile gave her a response, walked into the washroom to wash her hands, and came out again.


    She picked up one of the cookies and took a bite, "Ms. Rainie, this is so good!"


    Rainie heard herpliment and gave her a cheerful smile. She said, "Ms. Luca made these. I was


    just helping out."


    Luca walked out of the kitchen and heard Rainie saying that. She chimed in, "You helped to bake the


    cookies too, which means you made these cookies as well."


    After that, Luca took the scarf out and put it on her neck. Then, she put on her coat.


    Rainie saw her and asked with curiosity, "Ms. Luca, where are you going?"


    "I''m going to pick Lanie and Tommy up. Rainie, stay at home and be good," Luca reminded her like she


    was her mother.


    "Okay. I''ll listen to Aunt Neile." Rainie nodded.


    Luca smiled and nodded at Aunt Neile. Then, she went out and headed to her car to bring Lanie and


    Tommy back home.


    40 minutester, Luca brought Lanie and Tommy home.


    Tommy''s nose was so sensitive that he could smell the aroma of the cookies in the air right when he


    stepped into the vi. His eyes brightened up as he looked at Luca. “Ms. Luca, you baked cookies?"


    "Yes. Rainie and I baked the cookies together. Well, you must be hungry. The cookies are in the


    kitchen. Go get some," said Luca as she hung their coats on the hanger. Then, she took off her coat


    and hung it.


    Tommy sprinted to the kitchen, cheering happily.


    This was the happiest moment of his day.


    Lanie shook his head helplessly when he looked at how gluttonous Tommy was, then he turned to look


    at Luca.


    Luca was curious and asked Lanie when she noticed that he did not follow Tommy to the kitchen,


    “Lanie, why aren''t you going to eat the cookies?"


    "Ms. Luca, you must''ve baked a lot of cookies. Tommy won''t be able to finish all of them now. I''m not in


    a hurry," exined Lanie.


    Luca smiled and stroked his head. "Just go and have some cookies. Don''t eat too many, though.


    Otherwise, you''ll be too stuffed for dinner."


    Lanie was still not heading to the kitchen. He frowned and asked, "Ms. Luca, if Tommy keeps on eating


    like this, will he be fat in the future?"


    "I don''t think so..." Luca smiled and replied. Luca and Luke were not overweight. Besides, everyone in


    Luke''s family was fit and slim, and the same went for Luca''s family. Hence, Tommy probably did not


    have those genes.


    Tommy was a little chubby now. However, he would look slimmer if he did more exercises.


    Luca thought that Tommy must be the kind who liked exercising since he was so active. That was why


    that should not be a problem.


    "I''m really worried that Tommy will be a fat boy in the future," Lanie said, feeling worried for


    Tommy.


    "Then, as his elder brother, you''ll have to remind him not to eat too much," replied Luca. She held


    Lanie''s hand and brought him to the kitchen.


    Tommy was already standing beside the shelves, eating the cookies. He waved at Luca and Lanie


    when he saw theming in. "Lanie, the cookies are so good. Come on. Have a bite."


    Lanie nodded and walked toward Tommy. Then, he asked, "Tommy, how many have you eaten?"
