Chapter 3026
Upon hearing that, Aunt Neile said, “Mrs. Mallory, lethelp."
“She’s right, let her do it. That way, she can cover the entire area, and your hands wouldn’t be cold," said Luca. She found that Nina had put ice on it yesterday, but she did not do it long enough.
Her hands got too cold from holding the ice pack, so she did not do it for long.
As Luca knew her so well, Nina had no choice but to say, "Alright then."
“Okay, Mrs. Mallory. Enjoy your breakfast. I’ll help you after you’re done," Aunt Neile responded and went upstairs to deliver Luke’s breakfast.
When Luca saw Nina eating breakfast, she said to her, "By the way, Nina, the children are going back to the manor today, so remember to lock the door after Aunt Neile gets off work."
Nina was taken aback. Did that mean that Luca was going to Crawford Manor too?
If she was going back with the children, would Old Master Crawford cause her trouble?
Nina could not ask too many questions since the children were here, so she just nodded even though her mind was racing.
Nina waited for the children to finish breakfast and leave for school before asking nervously, "Luca, are you going to the manor too?"
"Yes, I am." Luca nodded and had her last bite of breakfast.
"Did Old Master Crawford ask you to go over? Is he giving you a hard time..." Nina did not think that was the case as sthad passed since Luke and Luca’s scandal.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe would have taken action already if he wanted to. Why would he wait until now?
Nina could understand why Luke would want to take the children back to the manor, but she did not understand why he would bring Luca with him.
Old Master Crawford and Old Master Mallory were the same. They were extremely strict with their grandchildren, and they frowned upon erratic behaviors.
Therefore, after Percy’s father had an affair, Old Master Mallory immediately sent someone to tell him to never cback.
Percy told her that, which was why Nina thought Old Master Crawford would be very unhappy with Luke and Luca’s relationship.
Now that the reporters had exposed their relationship, it was not easy to deceive Old Master Crawford. Luca was in a difficult position right now, but they had not split up yet. Their bond was too strong for something like this to break them up.
Even if they had not broken up, they did not have to upset Old Master Crawford...
Nina did not understand why Luca wanted to get so close to Old Master Crawford.
She thought that Luca was like her, willing to sacrifice for love. She did not have to stand up against an elder who did not like her.
Seeing as Nina was worried about her, she shook her head. “No, Old Master Crawford actually believes that Luke and I are. well. innocent."
Nina's eyes widened. "He believes that?"
Luca felt that even a three-year-old child would not believe what she just said.
What else could she say? She could not tell Nina that she was Bianca, which was why Old Master Crawford did not object to their relationship.
Luca hated that it was not the right time, because that meant she had to lie to Nina and say things that even she would not believe.
"I don't know what Luke told him, but that's what he believes.."
Nina muttered. "Unbelievable. Oh, that's not what I mean. I just think that Old Master Crawford doesn't seem that easy to fool. What could Luke have said to make him believe it.."
Luca did not say anything else. The more she said, the higher the chance of making a mistake. She had used many lies to continue deceiving people, but she was tired of lying, so she pretended not to know.
Then, Nina asked again, "Does that mean he won't give you a hard time?"
"I don't think so," said Luca.
"Why are you going there, then?" Nina asked out of curiosity.
"I've been helping Old Master Crawford recuperate, so I'm going there to help him again this time. He would always chat withfor a long tevery tI go there, so I thought I should just stay the night," Luca explained.
There was no need to lie anymore, which made her feel better.
She did not like lying to people who mattered to her.
However, there was no saying what Abel would ask her to do, so she had no choice.
"Oh, that's good. As long as you won't be put in a difficult position. I'm not trying to pry by asking so many questions. I'm just worried. The older generation can be stubborn sometimes.
"No matter how nice you are to them, they still won't change their minds, so it's better to accept it than take it up with them." Nina seemed to be talking ssense into Luca, but she was actually saying those things to herself too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I know, but I'll be fine. Believe me," Luca said with a smile.
"Since you won't be here tonight, let Aunt Neile get off work early. She doesn't need to make dinner. I'll just eat outside," said Nina. Since she was a guest, she did not want to have Aunt Neile cook just for her.
Luke hired her, not Percy.
"Won't you cback late if you eat outside?" Luca frowned reluctantly.
If Karen hired someone to follow her, it would be easier for them to make a move if it was late at night.
Nina knew that Luca was worried about her, so she said, "Things have been busy at the company lately, and many people in the design department are working overtime.
"When they order takeout, I'll just get something as well, so don't worry about me. It's getting late, so you should go to work.”
Luca glanced at the tand realized that it was indeed getting late. Seeing as Nina had a plan, she said, “Tell Aunt Neile when she comes down later so that she won't prepare dinner.”
“No problem." Nina nodded.
After Luca left, Aunt Neile cdown with a tray. She was busy tidying upstairs, which was why she took stime.
When she noticed that only Nina was left at the table, she asked, "Mrs. Mallory, has Ms. Craw left for work?"
"Yes, she just left. By the way, Luca and the kids are going to Crawford Manor tonight, and I have to work overtat the company, so you don't have to make dinner for me. I'll have dinner at work, so you can go hearly."
She was worried that Aunt Neile might say no, so she added, "Luca askedto tell you that."
Hearing that Luca asked her to get off work early, Aunt Neile smiled brightly. "Okay, I got it. Mrs. Mallory, once you're done eating, I'll help you put sice on your face,"
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Neile." Nina let her help.
Aunt Neile took an ice pack and put it on Nina's face according to Luca's instructions before saying, "You must use ice to make the swelling go away faster."
"I know. Aunt Neile, is Mr. Crawford upstairs?" Nina suddenly thought of asking Luke something about him and Luca.
