"Okay..." Tommy did not continue to pester her when he noticed that Vivian seemed to be fine.
Vivian liked Tommy so much. She pinched his chubby little face.
Tommy waved his hand and said, "Ms. Vivian, if anyone bullies you, you must tell me. I'll beat them up for you!"
"Okay. If someone bullies me, you'll beat them up for me, okay?" Vivian held Tommy's hand.
Tommy nodded vigorously.
"Okay. I'm going to the kitchen to check on Aunt Neile and see if dinner's ready." Luca saw how close Tommy and Vivian were.
She smiled and headed to the kitchen.
Aunt Neile was about to serve the soup on the dining table. She asked Luca when she saw her coming in. "Ms. Craw, is Mr.
Crawford working overtime again today?"
Aunt Neile made a guess when she saw that Luke had yet to come back.
"Yes. I forgot to inform you just now," Luca replied embarrassedly. She was supposed to tell Aunt Neile about it, but she hurried
upstairs to look for Vivian when she came back and forgot about it.
"It's alright. I'll save some soup for Mr. Crawford, then," Aunt Neile replied with a smile.
"Leave it to me. Please serve the soup first," said Luca. She thought there must be some soup left in the pot.
Luca picked up the ladle and carefully filled the thermos bottle with the soup left in the pot. Then, she put it aside.
Filling the thermos bottle with the soup could make sure that Luke would be able to have some warm soup when he came back.
After Aunt Neile placed the soup bowl on the dining table, she returned to the kitchen and served the other dishes on the dining
table with Luca.
After dinner, it was time for the kids to watch their cartoon show.
Luca and Vivian accompanied the kids to watch the show. When the advertisements were playing, Luca clicked on the push
notifications to see the news preview.
Luca frowned when she saw the news pinned on top. She rose to her feet and headed upstairs.
Rainie watched Luca from behind and asked, "What's wrong with Ms. Luca?"
"She probably has something to deal with," said Vivian. She stared at Luca from behind with an envious gaze.
Although it seemed inappropriate for Luca to stay by Luke's side, Luca had never used this to get anything she wanted. Luca put
in effort for everything she did. It made her who she was today, and all the achievements she earned were hers.
Vivian was envious of that.
She wondered when she could become someone like Luca. Luca was successful and stunning.
“That's true. Ms. Luca has always been busy," said Rainie.
Rainie could feel that after their mother returned, she became busier than she was back then. She seemed to always have
something on her mind too.
However, there was nothing the kids could do to help her.
Luca came upstairs and called Nina.
The phone rang a few times, and only then did Nina answer the call. "Luca, why are you calling at this hour? What's the matter?"
Luca could hear that Nina was out as it was a little noisy. It did not sound like she was at home. Luca was worried that she might
have disturbed Nina, so she made it short. "I saw the news. Are you both okay?" Luca went straight to the point, but she asked
tactfully too.
Luca had just seen the press conference held by Old Master Mallory.
He was forcing Percy to choose between the Mallory Corporation and Nina.
"You saw it too..." Nina sounded helpless. She turned around and glanced at the meeting room. She was at Mallory Corporation
now.
Percy was attending a meeting. He was worried about leaving Nina alone at home. That was why he asked the chauffeur to pick
her up and bring her to the office.
Nina had been waiting until now since Percy was still in the meeting.
"What does Mr. Mallory plan to do next?" Luca asked. Although there was nothing Luca could do to help them, she cared about
Nina.
It was not easy for Nina to live a happy life again. She could not let it be destroyed easily.
"Don't worry. We're fine. Percy isn't planning to give up on me. He's having a meeting now. I'm at Mallory Corporation too.
Everything's fine." Nina knew what Luca was worried about.
Nina did not realize she would be reminded of Bianca whenever Luca showed her concern.
Compared to Bianca, who had lost her memory, Nina thought the person in front of her was similar to the Bianca she used to
know.
"Okay. I'm glad to hear that." Luca let out a sigh of relief. Although she knew Percy was not that kind of person, she had to find
out the details.
Luca did not want to see Nina getting hurt again.
"Luca, don't worry. He'll never let go of my hands no matter what awaits us in the future. Besides, we've already gone through
the marriage registration formalities in the country. Our names are listed in the country's marriage records now. Percy said that
after the shareholder's meeting, we'll hold a wedding," said Nina. Percy had promised Nina that he would give her a grand
wedding.
Old Master Mallory held the press conference to give Percy an ultimatum.
However, Percy told her that he wanted both the company and her. Since it had been announced to the public, he would do it
thoroughly. Once he was done dealing with all the problems, he would hold a grand wedding for Nina.
Luca could sense how happy Nina was just by listening to her voice. She let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's great. I'll be
waiting for you to invite me to your wedding."
“Yeah. I hope everything goes smoothly." Nina turned around and shot a glance at the man in the meeting room. Even though
Nina was standing outside the window, her gaze caught the attention of the man in front of her.
The moment she looked at Percy, Percy looked up and fixed his gaze on her too. It was as though their hearts were linked
together.
Nina's face reddened as she quickly withdrew her gaze.
"Mr. Mallory is capable and smart. I'm sure he can deal with it. Trust him," said Luca. Percy was just as capable as Luke was. He
was not someone who could be underestimated.
Perhaps the Mallory family was shooting themselves in the foot by doing such a thing.
Percy might seize the chance to get rid of the people in Mallory Corporation who did not side with him.
Of course, this was just Luca's speculation.
It had been more than three years. Luca no longer had anything to do with the business world of A City.
Nina was about to say something, but noises were coming from the meeting room. She looked up and glanced at the meeting
room. Some of them had already stood up. It seemed like the meeting had ended. She immediately said, "Luca, I got to go. His
meeting has ended."
"Okay, Nina. Take care," replied Luca. She recalled those days when she and Nina gave each other support. Luca truly hoped
that Nina could live happily.
"I will." Nina smiled sweetly. She waited until all the employees left. Only then did she walk into the meeting room. She said, "Mr.
Mallory, is that all for today?"
"You're making fun of me again." Percy gave her a gentle smile. "Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
"It's Luca. She saw the news of Old Master Mallory holding the press conference. That's why she called to ask me if I'm fine."
Nina sat down on the seat beside Percy. She maintained a distance from Percy as they were at the office. It was to prevent
Percy from hugging her as well.
They had to watch their behavior in public.
"Huh?" Percy raised his brows. "What did she ask?"
"She asked whether I'm your choice or not, and I told her I was." Nina's smile was so beautiful like a ray of glowing sunshine.
She was so deeply in love with the man in front of her.
