The three kids agreed with the adult''s arrangements too.


    After Mr. Muller tidied the room, he came to the dining room. Luke asked him about the famous


    restaurants in X City.


    Otto pondered for a moment and rmended some farm-to-table restaurants that were still


    operating. There happened to be one a few miles away, and the reviews of the restaurant were good.


    After Luke listened to him, he asked, “Do we need to make a reservation first?"


    “Yes, Young Master Luke. I can help you to reserve a table if you''ve decided to go there for lunch,"


    replied Otto.


    "Please reserve a private room for me," said Luke.


    "Okay. I''ll make the call now. This farm-to-table restaurant is popr. You''ll have to make a reservation


    in advance if you''d like a private room," replied Otto. He picked up his phone and called the owner of


    the restaurant who he was familiar with.


    Otto reserved a private room. Then, he informed Luke, "Young Master Luke, the reservation has been


    made."


    "Okay." Luke nodded and took a sip of the coffee. Then, he thought of tonight''s arrangement and


    asked, "Are there any barbecue utensils in the vi?"


    "Yes. We have a barbecue grill. There''s a bonfire pit outside the gazebo. You can use them for the


    barbecue." Otto reckoned that Luke was nning to have a barbecue.


    It was the winter season now. Barbecuing at the gazebo sounded like a good idea.


    "We''ll be having a barbecue tonight. Please take the grill outter to clean it and disinfect it when you''re


    avable," said Luke. Luke paid a lot of attention to hygiene. The butler had been the only one staying


    here for the past few years. The equipment must be covered in dust.


    "Okay. I got it." Otto smiled. It had been a long time since someone came to the mansion. Things were


    finally livening up here. As a butler, he felt happy that there were people finally staying here.


    After breakfast, Luke held Lanie''s hand while Luca held Rainie''s and Tommy''s hands. They went for a


    walk in the garden.


    Luca saw the design of the courtyard and the exterior wall design of the Crawford Ancestral Home. She


    could not help but exim, "It''s breathtaking."


    Luca could see a smaller version of X City in this vi.


    “Thendscaper of this courtyard visited all the famous attractions in X City before he started designing


    the garden. He was inspired by the most noteworthy attractions. He rose to fame because of this. Many


    people went looking for him to ask him to design their courtyard," said Luke. He did not look for T


    Corporation''s designer to design the courtyard back then. Instead, he chose a local designer in X City.


    Local designers understood more about the customs and cultures in X City than T Corporation''s


    designers.


    Of course, the designer was able toe up with something that was more to his liking.


    Luca nodded. She could see how much effort was put into every corner here.


    Rainie loved this ce too. She lifted her head and said to Luke, "Daddy, can you take us here during


    our holidays? I''d like to see what it''s like when it''s summertime here."


    "Of course." Luke nodded. He would always try his best to fulfill his children''s wishes.


    It was just that he had been busy for the past few years. After the Crawford Ancestral Home was built,


    he did not have the time toe here himself. He only sent someone else to check on the mansion.


    "Ms. Luca, let''se here again. I heard Great-grandpa say that the scenery in X City during


    summertime is beautiful!" Rainie held Luca''s hand and invited her.


    Luca lowered her head and looked at Rainie''s smiling face. Luca was smiling too, but she could not


    help but feel mncholic.


    Summer...


    It was unlikely that Abel would allow her to stay here until summer.


    There was no news from Abel now, but that did not make her let her guard down. It was as though this


    was just the calm before the storm. The peace she got to enjoy now did not mean that Abel had given


    up on taking revenge.


    Perhaps, he already had a n in mind.


    After a walk in the garden, Luke took them out for a drive to the ces nearby.


    Luca noticed that a few people were standing outside the wall when the car drove out of the mansion.


    They were all dressed up, but everyone was holding a camera in their hands.


    "Daddy, why are they standing here?" Tommy leaned on the car window and looked at the people


    outside the window.


    Luke could not be bothered to look at them as he answered, "They came to take photos."


    "Are those people working in the architecture industry?" Luca suddenly asked.


    Luke nced at the people outside the window and replied, "Some of them are. I''m guessing the


    others are influencers."


    Luca nodded. Luke could judge a person''s upation by looking at their attire.


    She looked outside the window.


    The moment their car drove out of the mansion, everyone''s gaze fell on their car.

    Some of them were discussing, "It''s a car with a foreign car te number. I thought they said the


    mansion isn''t open to the public, right? What''s going on now.." "It''s open to foreigners but we don''t


    even have the chance to visit the mansion. That''s too much." Another person went along with it.


    “I heard they say that it''s beautiful inside. I really want to take a look inside and take some photos. I''m


    going to have tons of likes if I post the photos online." An influencer looked at the car driving away


    enviously and eximed, "But I don''t have that much money either. Look at that car. How many people


    can afford a car that costs ten million?"


    "Is that person an ultra-rich millionaire?"


    "What? I heard that the richest man in X City had thought of buying this mansion, but the owner of the


    mansion had no intention to sell it. I wonder who that person is. How can he go in and out of the


    mansion as he wishes?"


    "Didn''t you notice the car te number? It''s the car te number from A City. The owner of this


    mansion lives in A City, and he owns a big financial group. Rental and entrance fees are nothing to


    him. That''s why the public isn''t allowed to go in. He''s obviously the owner of the mansion," another


    person spoke reasonably.


    Everyone nodded. It turned out that this was the case.


    Then, that person added, "There''s a reason why the public isn''t allowed to go in. It cost a lot of money


    to build and maintain this mansion. If they let the public in, they might ruin or break something. The


    entrance fee won''t be enough for the repair fees. The owner isn''t that dumb."


    Luke took Luca and the kids to the attractions nearby for sightseeing for a few hours.


    Then, they headed to the restaurant they had reserved earlier to have lunch.


    Otto was right. The dishes here were special and delicious. They enjoyed their lunch. After lunch, Luke


    received a call from Old Master Crawford.


    "Grandpa, what''s the matter?" Luke asked.


    "Where are you now?" Old Master Crawford asked. His voice sounded normal.


    "I''m in X City." Luke paused for a moment and added, "Luca and the kids are here with me too."


    "That''s why..." Old Master Crawford chuckled. "That''s great. Enjoy your vacation with Luca and the


    kids. You worked hardst year. Going on a vacation and recharging yourself sounds great. You''re


    staying in Crawford Ancestral Home, right?"


    "Yes." Luke asked the old master why he called, "Grandpa, did anything happen?"


    "It''s your mother. She hasn''t been able to contact you, and they told her that you''re not at the vi. She


    thought you took the kids back to Crawford Manor. That''s why she called to ask," answered Old Master


    Crawford. Allison called him, and only then did he find out that Luke was not at his vi.
