“You didn''t have to get up early. Besides, sleeping a little longer is good for you." Luca served her a


    bowl of oats.


    Nina smiled and said, "It smells so good. Would I still have gotten such a hearty and delicious breakfast


    if I had continued to sleep?"

    Aunt Neile stood aside and smiled. "Ms. Nina, the breakfast reserved for you is still in the kitchen.


    Since you''re awake, I''ll bring it out right now."


    "Thank you," thanked Nina.


    Luca ced a bun on her te using tongs and said, "That''s Aunt Neile, the maid who works here. Tell


    her if you need anything, and try not to go out during this period of time. If you really have to go out,


    there are cars in the garage. You can ask Aunt Neile for the keys."


    "The cars in the garage belong to Mr. Crawford, right?" Nina took a bite out of the bun and immediately


    gave Luca a thumbs up. It was delicious.


    "They''re Mr. Crawford''s, but it doesn''t matter," said Luca as Mr. Crawford had mentioned that if she


    wanted to drive, she could drive those cars anytime. He would not mind.


    However, she still had not used his cars as they were expensive. Her driving skills were subpar. If she


    were to identally bump or hit something, she would be in trouble.


    Moreover, those cars were too eye-catching. She might be surrounded by onlookers if she were to


    drive them out.


    Luca preferred to keep a low profile.


    "We can talk about thatter. I guess I''ll just be a coward and stay here for the next few days, but I can


    be responsible for picking up and dropping off these three cute little kids." Nina winked at the three


    kids.


    "They don''t need your help. Uncle Zander is usually responsible for that. He''s outside right now," said


    Luca while ncing at the kids.


    The kids ate breakfast a little slower as they were listening to their conversation, so Luca reminded


    them, "Pick up the pace and go to school once you''re done or you''ll bete."


    The three children hastened their movements.


    Nina was amused by the children''s actions.


    Aunt Neile came out with breakfast and ced it on the table. "Ms. Nina, enjoy your meal."


    "Aunt Neile, the breakfast you made tastes great." Nina gave Aunt Neile a thumbs up as she thought


    that all these were prepared by Aunt Neile.


    Aunt Neile shook her head and smiled. "Ms. Nina, most of these were prepared by Ms. Craw. I was just


    assisting her."


    Nina widened her eyes and looked at Luca. "You''re amazing, Luca."


    "No, I''m not. Hurry up and eat," said Luca as she gave Tommy another bun. "Here, have more."


    "Ms. Luca, the buns are delicious. You''re amazing," Tommyplimented her as well.


    Luca smiled and finished breakfast with the children.


    After breakfast, the children went to school with their backpacks. Luca watched them leave before


    withdrawing her gaze to see Nina''s inquisitive look.


    "What''s wrong?" Luca asked while putting on her jacket to get ready for work.


    "You looked like a loving mother who was sending her children off to school," Nina said what she felt as


    Bianca used to be that way.


    After watching Lanie and Rainie get in the car, Bianca would usually go back to minding her own


    business. If she was not busy, she would even take the kids to school herself.


    At that time, Nina envied the life Bianca had.


    She still remembered it to this day.


    Luca chuckled without answering her directly and just said, "The children are so cute. You stay here. I''ll


    go to work."


    "Okay, be careful on the road." Nina watched Luca go out and was a little envious.


    She admired professional women like Luca. Although she had her own career, she would never make it


    as far as Luca.


    If Bianca had not invited her to Brilliant Architectural Design LLC, perhaps she would have had to rely


    on Percy to find a job or just be a mere employee of T Corporation.


    She would not get far either way.


    Moreover, she used to not have a stable job because of Percy. Now that she finally had a steady job,


    things like this happened. She could not even enter thepany.


    Plus, to stop the reporters from asking more about her, Sue had to y bad cop and stop the people at


    thepany from spouting nonsense to the reporters. If she found out that they had done so, they


    would be fired.


    Nina sighed. Percy was not the only one in her life. She also had these close friends who were worried


    about her and willing to go out of their way for her.


    It seemed like the hardships she faced in the past were not enough for fate to favor her, so now, fate


    was ying a joke on her again.


    The more Nina thought about it, the more despondent she became.


    "Ms. Nina, what are you thinking about?" After Aunt Neile finished tidying up the kitchen, she walked


    out and saw Nina stare out the floor-to-ceiling window. She looked to be in low spirits.


    "Nothing much." Nina came back to her senses and saw a bag in Aunt Neile''s hands, so she asked,


    "Aunt Neile, are you going grocery shopping?"


    “Yes, and by the way, Ms. Craw informed me that you can tell me if you need anything. I''ll help you buy


    it at the supermarket," said Aunt Neile to avoid making two trips.


    "I''ll go with you." Nina did not have any of her personal belongings, and she could not keep on using


    Luca''s things.


    Although she and Luca had simr body types, Luca was a little more voluptuous than her, so her


    clothes would not fit her very well.


    Aunt Neile recognized her at first nce and said, "Ms. Nina, you''re the talk of the town. If you go out,


    you''ll be recognized. I don''t mean anything else, but it''s better for you to stay in the vi."


    Nina was taken aback and smiled bitterly. "You''re right. Celebrities like living in this area, and there are


    many reporters here too. In that case, I need to trouble you to buy some clothes..."


    "Okay, no problem. Just give me your size. However, there''s one issue. You might not like the clothes I


    pick as my taste is a little old-fashioned. I hope you don''t mind," said Aunt Neile.


    "I don''t mind as long as I can wear it." Nina texted Aunt Neile her size and measurements.


    She had intended to ask Sue for help, but since Aunt Neile was here to help, she would not need to


    trouble Sue anymore.


    After Aunt Neile received Nina''s list, she nodded and said, "I''ve received your message. By the way, is


    there anything you want to eat for lunch?"


    "Nope. In fact, you don''t have to prepare lunch. I''m still very full from breakfast." Nina touched her


    stomach. Luca''s cooking was too good!


    "How can I not?" Aunt Neile shook her head. "I''ll decide on what to make for lunch. Well then, I''ll be


    heading out first. Just call me if there''s anything."


    "Alright, stay safe." Nina smiled and waved at her.


    After Aunt Neile left, she was the only one left in the huge vi.


    Nina picked up her phone and took a deep breath. She then opened a website and looked at the


    eyecatching headlines, only to see that they were all rted to her.
