"How dare you kick me out?" Karen''s eyes were burning with anger. She believed that Nina asked him


    to do it.


    She wished she could drag Nina out and throw her out of the Mallory family at the thought of this.


    "It''s Grandpa''s wish." Percy''s eyes were cold. "You haven''t gone back the whole night. I don''t have the


    medicine you need here. That''s why he sent the chauffeur here early in the morning."


    The chauffeur had been sent from Mallory Manor by Old Master Mallory to take Karen back.


    "Very well, Percy. No matter what happens in the future, that woman will never step into the Mallory


    family!" Karen gave her statement, turned around, and left.


    Inside the vi, silence filled the air.


    Percy furrowed his brows tightly at the thought of his grandfather asking him to take Nina back for


    dinner tonight. Even though it might mean Old Master Mallory acknowledgement of Nina''s identity...


    It might also affect their rtionship.


    Percy dialled his assistant''s number. "Prepare two gifts for me."


    The assistant replied, "Sure, Mr. Mallory. Who''s the recipient of the gifts?"


    "Old Master Mallory," replied Percy. Then, he added, "Have them ready before you finish work today."


    Gifts for others could be prepared casually. Percy was able to afford them, after all. However, gifts for


    his grandfather could not be taken lightly.


    They needed to be thoughtful, not just expensive. The assistant immediately said, "Yes, Sir. I''ll take


    care of it."


    In Crawford Manor, Luca returned to the dining table after watching her kids get into Zander''s car. She


    was exhausted.


    Luca woke upte today. She only came downstairs when it was almost time for the kids to set off to


    school. After she sat down, she rubbed her back and thighs. She felt a wave of weariness washing


    over her entire body.


    After she put Tommy to sleepst night, Luke did not let her rest.


    Luke''s face was brimming with a profound sense of aplishment while Luca wore a sorrowful look.


    He handed her a bowl of oatmeal and said, "Aunt Neile made your favorite oatmeal today."


    When Luca saw how energetic Luke was, she could not help but wonder why she woke up feeling tired


    and drowsy when they both slept at the same time. She felt sleepy no matter how long she slept.


    Meanwhile, Luke showed no signs of fatigue.


    Was there really such a substantial difference in physical stamina between men and women?


    Luca''s hand trembled as she lifted the spoon.


    Luke frowned when he saw that. He began to wonder whether he had gone too farst night.


    "Need my help?" asked Luke. His hands were already reaching out to her.


    "No, I can manage on my own," replied Luca. Aunt Neile was there. She did not want toin to


    him about what had happenedst night. She shook her head and quickly began eating the bowl of


    oatmeal.


    "Take your time," said Luke upon realizing that she was in a hurry. She was probably worried that she


    would bete for work.


    "I''m done." Luca finished the bowl of oatmeal and rose to her feet.


    Luke could not help but frown when he saw that. He picked up a muffin and handed it to her. "How is


    that enough?"


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    "Yes, Ms. Craw. Please eat more. You''ve been going back and forth from the hospital these days.


    You''ve lost weight." Aunt Neile could not help but go along with Luke''s words when she saw how


    exhausted Luca was.


    "I''m alreadyte. I''ll eat in the car," said Luca. She picked up the paper napkin and wrapped the muffin.


    Then, she carried her briefcase and left hurriedly.


    As Aunt Neile watched Luca''s slender figure leave from behind, she could not help but say to Luke,


    "Sir, you''re Ms. Craw''s boss, right?"


    "Yes?" Luke nodded. His gaze followed Luca as she walked away.


    "There''s no need for Ms. Craw to rush like this..." Aunt Neile did not understand. After all, who would


    dare to criticize Luca with Luke spoiling her?


    "She''s diligent and meticulous at work," replied Luke, understanding why Luca was like this.


    She did not want to rely on anyone even when she was still Bianca. Even though she had Luke''s


    affection, she strived to prove to everyone that she was capable enough to stand by his side.


    There was no way Luke could stop her determination.


    "Ms. Craw looks thin. Working so hard like this must be tough for her," said Aunt Neile, who had grown


    fond of Luca. While Luca might not be Luke''s rightful wife, she was easy to get along with and treated


    everyone kindly.


    She never acted imperiously just because Luke doted on her.


    She was always humble in front of others.


    "This is the life she wants," replied Luke, finishing thest bite of his oatmeal. Then, he rose to his feet,


    ready to set off to the office.


    Aunt Neile watched as they left one after the other and shook her head.


    Both of them had enviable lives, but they had earned them through hard work. It was different from


    what others might think.


    Luca arrived at Watson in Warren''s car. As soon as she reached her office, Mo Stone came in. "Dr.


    Craw, Ms. Langdon is looking for you." "Ms. Langdon?" Luca paused for a moment while she was


    changing into herb coat and turned to looked at Mo Stone.


    Mo Stone rified, "It''s Ms. Nina."


    Nina?


    Luca hung up herb coat again and asked, "Where is she now?"


    "She''s in the downstairs meeting room." This floor was designated for theboratory. Hence, ording


    to thepany''s regtions, Mo Stone could not let anyone wait here.


    "I''ll go down. Please make two cups of coffee and bring them over," instructed Luca before she headed


    downstairs to the meeting room.


    Nina was sitting on the sofa in the meeting room. When she saw Luca enter, she immediately stood up


    and said, "Luca, I''m sorry I came here all of a sudden. I''m probably disturbing you from work right now,


    huh?"


    Luca knew that Nina was not the type to disturb others at work. Thus, she must have came here for


    something important.


    "It''s okay. I''ve asked my assistant to make us coffee." Luca smiled and shook her head. She then told


    Nina that there was no need for her to rush to exin herself.


    Nina hesitated for a moment, understanding the implied message.


    Luca then asked, "How are the preparations for your wedding going?"


    "I''ve got everything prepared," answered Nina. Speaking of which, she had Luca and Sue helping her


    with the selections. Therefore, she had already chosen all the necessary items for the wedding.


    The rest would be handled by the wedding nningpany.


    Hence, Nina had be considerably more at ease.


    If it were not for Percy informing her that they were going to have dinner at Mallory Manor tonight, she


    would not havee to find Luca in such a hurry. She needed advice from her.


    Before Luca had a chance to speak, there was a knock on the door, followed by Mo Stone''s voice. "Dr.


    Craw, may Ie in?"


    "Come in," replied Luca.


    Mo Stone pushed the door open and came in with a tray. The air of the meeting room was filled with


    the aroma of coffee.


    Nina felt slightly more alert now. Her nerves had been on edge all night after Karen arrived at the vi


    last night.


    Even though she and Percy returned to the bedroom and closed the doorst night, she was still


    worried. She could not sleep well at all.


    Every cell in her body was on edge. It was as though she was afraid that Karen''s voice woulde


    from the other side of the door at any moment to criticize her, preventing her from sleeping.


    The oue was predictable. She hardly had any sleep at all.
