After a while, Luke’s people rushed over.
Then, Luca briefly explained everything to them and let them go back.
Luca heaved a sigh of relief as the matter had finally been resolved. Wanda saw the smile on her face after the problem was dealt with and could not help but lift her hand to dust off the fallen snow on Luca’s shoulders.
“You must’ve rushed over here, right? You don’t even have your gloves on. It must be freezing. Let’s go inside,” she said.
“Okay, Aunt Rayne.” Luca rubbed her palms together and followed Wanda into the neighborhood.
Wanda walked beside Luca, and when she looked sideways at her, she was momentarily distracted by the fact that Luca was the same height as Bianca.
Bianca used to walk beside her like this, but walking with Luca beside her gave her the same feeling.
She was bewildered.
Wanda shook her head slightly. Luca noticed and asked, “What is it, Aunt Rayne?”
“Nothing. It’s a cold winter day, so let’s hurry inside the house. Old Master Crawford is here too. You should know him, right? He’s Luke’s grandfather,” said Wanda as she pressed her fingerprint to open the door.
Old Master Crawford was here?
Luca stopped in her tracks and paused for a moment as she remembered what happened yesterday.
If Old Master Crawford could carry out such a plan, he must be trying to matchmake her and Luke.
He was here as a guest today…
Luca knew that he was close to Grandpa Rayne, and she could only pray that the old master would not say too much when he saw her later, lest he aroused the suspicion of Grandpa and Aunt Wanda.
“What’s the matter?” Wanda closed the door and noticed that something was wrong with Luca’s expression.
Luca forced a smile and said, “I didn’t expect Old Master Crawford to be here as well.”
“Old Master Crawford came this morning and seemed to be in a good mood. He’s been playing chess with my father and even stayed for lunch. Both of them are probably well-rested now and are ready to continue playing chess,” said Wanda.
Ever since Old Man Rayne’s health improved after Luca’s treatment, Old Master Crawford often came over to play chess with him.
With a chessboard, a few cups of tea, and some simple refreshments, Old Master Crawford could spend the entire day here.
As he would say, this place was better than Crawford Manor. At least it was quiet.
After seeing how much he liked staying here, Wanda had the maids prepare a room for him as a nap room as the elderly had the habit of taking naps in the afternoon.
Wanda was also glad that there was someone to play chess with Old Man Rayne as it could relieve his boredom.
Luca nodded in agreement with her words.
Wanda thought that she was nervous to see Old Master Crawford because he was her boss’ grandfather, so she reassured her by saying, “Don’t worry. Old Master Crawford is quite nice to get along with in private. He’s easy-going and not fussy.”
“Good.” That was all Luca could say. She was not worried that Old Master Crawford would be hard to get along with at all. She was worried that he would slip up and expose her.
Besides, Aunt Wanda and her grandpa would definitely side with her old identity.
The two of them walked into the house.
Wanda instructed the maid, “Luca, take off your jacket and let the maid help you dry your clothes.”
“Ah, alright.” Luca took off her jacket.
