Tommy smiled, raised the almost ready dough in his hands, and said, "Look, Daddy. Ms. Luca is teaching us how to make croissants."
There was flour everywhere on the table. The kids must have caused this mess.
The kids never had to do any housework in Crawford Manor. Although the house was in a mess, Luke felt a strange feeling when he saw how the kids were helping Luca.
‘This is how a home should feel like.’
He saw the children’s joyous appearance and felt like he was missing out on it. Luke touched Tommy's head and asked, "Why aren’t you using a bread machine to knead the dough?"
Luca stood there and looked at him for a while. She then walked to the table, continued to knead the dough, and said, "Manual kneading makes better bread compared to using a bread machine."
Rainie listened and had a sudden realization. "No wonder the croissant made by the chef at home is not as delicious as Mommy's."
Luca paused. ‘She said ‘Mommy’… Is she referring to me or the fake Bianca?’
She unconsciously glanced at Luke. The kids mentioned that he was on a date with Bianca but he showed up at her place, so she wondered what happened to Bianca...
As soon as Rainie's voice fell, Lanie said, "Yeah, I remember that Mommy used to knead the dough with her hands whenever she made us croissants."
They remembered certain memories of the past but Tommy did not. He pursed his lips and said, "Why do you remember all of these? I don't remember anything."
Rainie explained with a smile on her face, "You were still young. Mommy loved you the most."
Rainie's words blasted Luca into the past.
She had taken special care of Tommy because of what had happened to Luke. Even after he came back, she had always paid extra attention to Tommy, wanting to make up for the regret of missing out on the five years of Lanie and Rainie's childhood with Tommy.
Tommy kneaded the dough, nodded, and then said, "I know Mommy loves me the most, but that's in the past. Now she's changed. She's not like our mommy anymore."
His words silenced all of them.
In the room, everyone except Tommy knew that Bianca was not the real Bianca.
When Tommy saw that everyone had fallen silent, he thought that they were deep in thought. He then looked at Luke and asked, "Daddy, why isn't Mommy here? Weren’t you going on a date with her today?"
Luke's expression remained the same as he replied, "She went on a holiday."
Lanie exchanged glances with Rainie and then put the kneaded dough in front of Luca. "Ms. Luca, do you think the dough is good to go?"
Luca kneaded the dough and thought that it was close. She nodded and said, "You did it, Lanie. You did a wonderful job."
Lanie's face flushed after hearing her praise.
Rainie and Tommy passed their dough to her as well.
Luca put all the dough in the oven to proof and then she prepared some fruits for the children.
She did not know they would come so she did not prepare any snacks. All she had were fruits.
Luke saw how busy she was. It was as if she was their mother.
The kids sat in a row on the sofa. They behaved well and ate the fruits she prepared. Luca felt happy looking at them. When she looked up, she found that Luke was looking at her.
She felt awkward, rubbed her hands, and asked, "Mr. Crawford, do you want some fruits?"
