At night.


    Luke had nothing nned for the day, so he returned to the vi after he left the office.


    As soon as he walked into the house, the children surrounded him and handed him their homework.


    "Daddy, we''ve finished our homework."

    Luke took their workbooks. He did not see Luca in the living room, so he asked the kids, "Where''s Ms.


    Luca?"


    Rainie replied obediently, "Ms. Luca is in the kitchen preparing dinner. Aunt Neile asked for some time


    off and just left, so Ms. Luca is busy cooking alone. Daddy, after you''re done checking our homework,


    go and help Ms. Luca."


    Luke put their workbooks down. "I''ll go take a look."


    He walked into the kitchen and saw Luca in an apron preparing dinner for the family. It reminded him of


    how she was always in the kitchen preparing dinner for him and the children three years ago.


    At that time, Luca would never let the maid cook since the children liked to eat the meals she prepared.


    At most, she would let the maid be her helper.


    "Stop it," Luke said softly when he saw how busy she was.


    Luca was startled by the sudden sound and turned back while holding a spat. ''It''s him...''


    She was so immersed in cooking that she did not notice how long Luke had been standing at the door.


    "Mr. Crawford?" She looked at the man with some confusion.


    "Why isn''t Aunt Neile here?" Luke asked in a hoarse voice. A few years ago, he could still hold her


    when she was in an apron whenever he wanted. He would keep annoying her so that they could spend


    more time together.


    "Aunt Neile''s grandson is sick, and the adults can''t take care of her, so she asked for a day off," Luca


    said. Aunt Neile was a responsible woman. Even when her grandchild was sick, she waited until Luca


    returned and could take care of Lanie and the others before she asked to take some time off.


    As such, she told Warren to turn around and send Aunt Neile home.


    "Let''s go out for dinner," Luke said. He could not bear for Luca to overtire herself as she had been


    working in thepany during the day. Now, she had to prepare dinner for the family.


    "I''m almost done," Luca said. She did not forget to open the lid and put some vegetables into the


    noodles.


    Luke smelled the aroma of the noodles, and his appetite was whet. He could not wait to taste the


    noodles.


    "Forget it. The next time Aunt Neile asks for leave, let''s go out to eat. It''s tiring for you to prepare dinner


    alone," he said and let her continue to prepare dinner.


    Luca picked up the utensil and stirred the noodles. ''Is he... worried about me?''


    She did not feel tired preparing dinner for him and the kids. However, she got off work a littlete and


    decided to cook something simple because she was afraid that the kids would be starving.


    "Mm, we can eat dinner soon. By the way, Lanie and the others should have finished their homework..."


    Luke felt a sense of happiness in his heart as he listened to her babble. He thought that even if he were


    an ordinary and poor office worker, he would live a life full of joy even as long as he had her as his wife


    like Luca.


    "I''m going to check their work now." With that, he returned to the living room.


    Luca smiled. ''What a great life..''


    She brought the five bowls of hot noodles to the table. Before she could tell the children that dinner was


    ready, Tommy ran in and eximed, "Ms. Luca, are we eating noodles tonight?"


    "Yeah." Luca turned around and walked into the kitchen to bring out the two side dishes she prepared.


    She put them on the table, and a scrumptious dinner was ready.


    "It smells delicious, I love noodles prepared by Ms. Luca!" Tommy sat on the chair and looked as


    though he was waiting to dig in.


    Luca smiled and said, "Come, this is yours. You must finish this big bowl of noodles."


    Tommy held the insted bowl and did not think that the noodles were hot. He picked up his utensils


    and said, "The teacher said it''s a shame to waste food, so I promise that I''ll finish it."


    Lanie walked in and heard what his brother said. He teased him, "You''re the most gluttonous out of us


    three. You''ll definitely be able to finish it."


    "Lanie, am I not your brother?" Tommy pouted and said, "Why do you keep making fun of me?"


    "You''re a glutton, a little piggy." Lanie pinched Tommy''s chubby hand and sat down on the chair.


    "Hmph, Lanie is a meanie." Tommy nced at Luca and wanted her to stand up for him.


    Luca smiled and ced two tes of meat dishes in front of them. The children liked meat dishes,


    while she and Luke preferred vegetables.


    Luke walked into the dining room as well.


    When she saw him, Luca put thergest bowl on his usual spot and ced another bowl of noodles in


    a heat-insted bowl in front of Rainie. Thest bowl was for her. "I didn''t have much time to prepare


    dinner today, so I made something simple for us."


    "Ms. Luca, the noodles are delicious." Rainie took a small bite. There was a little soup on her tiny but


    shiny mouth. She continued to eat after she said that.


    Luke also praised, "It''s delicious."


    Luca''s gaze turned to Lanie, who was also eating fast. Although he did not say anything. His actions


    already exined everything.


    The happiness in her heart could not help but spread.


    Luke''s phone rang when they were about to finish eating.


    He nced at it and walked out with his phone in hand.


    After a while, he returned and said to Luca after he sat down, "I''ll be outter."


    "Okay." Luca did not ask him where he was going. After all, she was not in the position to ask.


    Luke telling her that he was going out was beyond the scope of her identity.


    Luke picked up the utensils and said, "They found Dexter Shaw."


    "They found him? That''s so fast..." Luca was surprised. Luke only offered to help find Dexter yesterday


    and he found him the very next day. The speed was impressive.


    After all, Dexter was homeless. It was sometimes easier to find a normal personpared to a


    homeless man.


    The homeless did not live in a fixed ce. Luke''s men worked so fast that Luca could not help but


    wonder if Dexter had been imprisoned by Luke all this time.


    However, it did not seem possible.


    Dexter posed no value to Luke, and he was rted to Leia. Luke was disgusted with anyone who was


    involved with Leia. He would not imprison Dexter. After all, it came with no benefits for him to do so.


    "He''s been in a homeless shelter. We found him as soon as we started looking," Luke said.


    After Dexter destroyed Leia, he knew that he could never get another penny from Leia. Hence, he kept


    his tail between his legs.


    The homeless welfare was getting better and better, so Dexter simply kept the money she gave him


    and went to a shelter. There would be a roof over his head and free meals.


    Luca nodded.


    After they were done with dinner, Luke told the children to stay home and be good before he left in a


    hurry.


    Luca stacked all the documents Luke brought back and nned to take them upstairs after he left.


    Lanie, who was on the side, asked, "Ms. Luca, who''s Dexter Shaw?"


    Luca sat on the sofa, put the documents on the coffee table, and answered Lanie''s question, "He''s your


    aunt''s biological father."
