Zoey gave a snort ofughter and said nothing more.


    Luca''s office.


    After Luca watched Luke fill up her te for her, she took it from him and thanked him, “Thank you."


    “My pleasure," replied Luke. He was not in a hurry to have lunch. Instead, he picked up his phone and


    sent their photos to Luca. "I''ve attached three photos in the message and sent it to you. Take a look at


    them."


    Luca put down her te, picked up her phone, and saw the message.


    The photos of Luke and her came into sight.


    Luca looked at him with surprise and said, "The photos..."


    "They were taken by the photographerst night," replied Luke, "Louis thought they looked good, so he


    sent them to me."


    "They do," Luca gently touched the photos on her phone screen as though she was caressing the


    people in the photos.


    The photos were just of the two of them.


    They were candid shots.


    Their truest moments were captured in every photo.


    One of the photos was taken from behind them. Luca could see that her silhouette was still the same


    as before, and there were hardly any changes.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    Although she did not put her hand on Luke''s arm, the distance between them was very close.


    Anyone would have known that Luke and Luca came to the dinner together with just a nce. They


    stood close to each other like they were a loving couple.


    The photographer had captured the other two photos well too. One of them was of Luca looking at


    Luke, while the other one was of Luke staring at her.


    Although they were only photos, she could feel the sweet sentiments between them in the photos.


    Luca could not help but feel surprised. Before seeing the photos, she never knew that the way she


    looked at Luke was so tender.


    Luke was smart. He must have noticed that too.


    "They''re great photos," she mumbled. "It''s a pity that we didn''t get to take a photo with the kids."


    Luca had promised Rainie that they would take a photo together after she came back. They did not get


    the chance to take one as Tommy had already fallen asleep.


    "I''ve already contacted the photo studio the photographer is working at. Let''s bring the kids to the photo


    studio for a photoshoot session after we get some stuff this Saturday," said Luke. He had already made


    the appointment with the photographer.


    "Photoshoot session?" Luca clicked her tongue. She had promised Rainie to take a photo yesterday,


    but was there a need to head to the photo studio?


    Besides, Luca had a tripod stand and a camera.


    "Lanie and the others have grown up a lot this year. It''s almost New Year''s, and I think we should take


    some photos of them so we can look back on this time. That''s why I got them a portrait photography


    package," said Luke. He even booked a portrait photography package for Luca.


    Also, he did not tell Luca that he had already contacted the person who did her makeupst night. The


    makeup artist would head to the photo studio and doll her up this Saturday. After all, Luke liked how


    she dressed Luca up for the birthday dinner.


    "Okay," Luca nodded. She thought Luke''s idea was great.


    The children were still young, but they would grow up soon. If they could take some portrait photos


    every year when they were growing up, they would be able to look back at the photos when they grew


    up in the future.


    It was meaningful.


    Luca picked up her te and spoon while saying, "Let''s go to the photo studio this Saturday, then."


    "Okay," Luke picked up his te as well and began eating.


    Luke left Luca''s office after lunch. Then, Luca sat on her office chair while holding her phone. She had


    been looking at the three photos.


    When lunch break was over, someone knocked on the door. Only then did Luca put down her phone


    and say, "Come in."


    Rhett pushed the door open. Even though he saw Luke leaving Luca''s office when he was in the


    assistant''s office, he still acted carefully as he was scared by the thought of getting into trouble.


    "Dr. Craw, this is a document that you need to sign," Rhett looked around the office to make sure that


    there was no one else there. Only then did he hand the document to Luca.


    "Okay." Luca took it from him, nced at the contents, and said, "I''ll have to read through the


    document first. I''ll hand it to you after I sign it."


    "Take your time. Just inform me toe over and take the document from you after you sign it," Rhett


    quickly got out of Luca''s office and closed the door behind him after that.


    Luca was dumbfounded. Were there any monsters in her office?


    Why did Luca feel that Rhett was not asfortable as usual when he was facing her just now?


    Luca stopped thinking about it. She opened the file and read the document.


    Her phone rang when she was about to finish reading the document.


    Luca picked it up and nced at her phone. It was an international call, and the calling code seemed to


    be from Russia.


    Could it be Amur who was calling her?


    Luca immediately answered the call and spoke in Russian fluently, "Hello."


    “Is this Luca?" Vivian''s voice came from the other end of the line.


    Luca recognized her voice. She was a little disappointed as she thought it was Amur. Although he had


    returned to the ind, he would be assigned to carry out missions anytime. Hence, she thought it was


    Amur who called.


    “Yes, it''s Luca. Vivian, how are you doing these days?" Luca asked.


    “I''m fine. Thank you," Vivian sounded gentle.


    Luca was listening to her from the other end of the line. She had always thought that if she had never


    seen Vivian in person, she would imagine her to be a gentle and beautiful woman through her voice


    alone.


    "Luca, there''s something I''d like to tell you. I''ve been officially epted by Capital University. I''ll be


    heading there for my studies in February," said Vivian. She was admitted to the university as a


    transferred student.


    Capital University had made an exception to take Vivian in. It was not only because Vivian''s application


    report was well-written but also because Ray had talked to a senior executive working at Capital


    University about sponsoring a library.


    Hence, one of the slots for transfer students was reserved for her.


    "Congrattions, Vivian! You''re one step closer to your dreams," Luca knew applying for Capital


    University was Vivian''s first step toward her dreams.


    “Thank you. Oh, Ray told me that we''ll be going there for a holiday around New Year''s so that I can get


    familiar with the culture and weather in A City as soon as possible. Luca, you should be around during


    New Year''s, right?" Vivian confirmed with her.


    Luca had left quite an impression on Vivian after she came to Russia for a short business trip.


    “Yes, I''ll be here. We can celebrate New Year''s together if you''reing here together with Mr.


    Lacroix," replied Luca.


    “That''s great. I love the culture there. We''ll celebrate New Year''s together, then," replied Vivian.


    “Sure," Luca agreed with it.


    “Luca, I''d still like to thank you." Vivian paused for a moment and expressed her gratitude. If it were not


    for Luca who ran into her on the street andforted her in the hotel, Vivian would not have made her


    decision so soon.


    Crying was not the best choice to say goodbye to her past. It would be better if she could start to live


    the life she had always wanted. The dreams she had never achieved were her motivation to start a new


    life.


    Luca was the one who told her all this.
