Chapter 3181 Not Used To Inconveniencing others Tommy rolled his eyes, unfazed by Simon's words. "If my dad finds out you bullied my sister, he'll beat you up."
"Mr. Crawford wouldn't do that." Simon knew what kind of person Luke was. He might spank Lanie and Tommy, but he would never hit him.
However, if this escalated, his dad would definitely punish him.
Simon looked at the little girl next to Rainie and said, "Teri, I'll give you some candy if you switch seats with me, okay?"Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"No way." Teri shook her head. "You're just going to bully Rainie. I'm not switching seats with you!"
"You little brat!" Simon was frustrated. He had not tugged on Rainie's hair in a long time, and he could not help himself today. After all, Rainie was such a cute little girl, and he just wanted her to notice him more. That was why he could not help himself... Who knew he would end up annoying Rainie?
Lanie looked at Simon with a serious expression on his face. "Are we still playing or not?"
“Of course, we're playing! Just watch me beat you!" Simon rolled up his sleeves, ready to compete.
Lanie could not be bothered. Simon's intelligence was about the same as his, but their personalities were quite different. Simon loved to play and joke around, which was completely different from him.
The kids kept playing until the adults finished their gathering and called it a night.
Simon naturally followed Jim out.
Kari and Teri left with Jason and Sue.
The others helped to clean up before leaving, so Luca had nothing much to do. She checked the time and urged the three kids, "It's getting late. Hurry upstairs and get yourself washed up."
“Ms. Luca, well clean up first and then go upstairs," replied the kids. They played with a lot of educational toys and needed to tidy up.
Aunt Nelle came out of the kitchen and said to Luca, "Ms. Craw, I'm heading off now."
“Okay, Aunt Neile. Thanks for your hard work tonight. Did you take the food | prepared for you?" Luca had specifically grilled some meat for Aunt Neile, knowing she would be working later than usual.
Aunt Neile pointed at her canvas bag, where the food was stored. She smiled and replied, "I did. Thank you. My family will enjoy a tasty snack tonight."
“Alright, take care on your way home." Luca nodded and helped the kids clean up the toys. Once everything was tidied, the kids went upstairs to rest, and Luca followed suit.
After her shower, Luke came in from the bedroom across.
"Did you finish the paperwork?" asked Luca.
"Yes, it's all done," replied Luke. He had also washed up and changed into pajamas. He leaned against the bed, pulled Luca into his arms, and said," You worked hard tonight."
“It wasn't too hard, and it was worth it since everyone had a great time." Luca rested her head on his shoulder. Getting everything ready was pretty exhausting.
Still, she was happy that everyone was satisfied with the food and the company.
That brought her a lot of comfort. Nina and the others had helped to clean up, which saved her a lot of effort. "Yeah."
"Were you discussing Maytsh and the Island of Despair while you guys were drinking?” asked Luca.
"You heard US?" Luke was a bit surprised. They did not raise or lower their voices deliberately, and considering the distance between the pavilion and the barbecue area, the people in the pavilion should not have been able to hearthem.
"| could hear bits and pieces." Luca pointed at her ears. "Almost everyone from the Island of Despair has had Shanks’ dry needling treatment, so our hearing is better than most. Don't worry. None of them heard anything, only | did."
Luke raised his eyebrows. The women had pulled Rain into their conversation, so she had not heard anything from the men's side.
However, Luca heard them.
How good was her hearing?
"But is it really okay? The Abaza family offered two million dollars to rescue him..." Luca sounded worried. Luke looked at her. Did she really only hear bits and pieces?
She even caught the two million dollars part clearly. If it were not for the distance and the fact that Gordan had mentioned the amount while facing away from her, he might have suspected she could read lips.
“Even if they offered 20 million dollars to hire someone better, it wouldn't matter. Those people wouldn't dare make a big move in A City," said Luke confidently.
Or rather, it was not confidence in himself but confidence in the country. Did the Abaza family think that their country was like Russia, where money could accomplish anything?
Therefore, this time, Luke would rely on the power of the nation and his capabilities to convey the message that money could not buy free passes in A City. This was a country that upheld the rule of law-not one where money could rule the roost!
Luca nodded. She knew she had to trust Luke.
"It's getting late. Should we go to bed?" suggested Luke.
Luca shook her head and glanced at her phone. "I'm worried about Vivian. I’d like to wait for her message before going to bed.” Everyone else had someone to go home with. However, Vivian was alone since no one else was heading in her direction.
At first, Jim and Percy offered to give Vivian a ride, but Vivian, being t
kind of erson who wSdndt used to inedny. dicing others, did not even think twice before politely turning down their offers. The content is on ! Read the latest chapter there!
Hence, Luca called a cab for her. Nevertheless, she still felt uneasy, and she told Vivian to send a message to her when she got home.
Luke understood her concern. He wanted to say there was n need to worry becayse eckdattve in the simlé area. However, after thinking it over, he decided not to mention it. The content is on ! Read the latest chapter there!
He had known for a while that Gordan had moved into the single apartment building he had arranged for Vivian. It was Gordan’s freedom to live wherever he wanted. It did not matter much since he would not harm Vivian. However, Luca and Vivian were unaware of this.
Considering that Gordan had left earlier, they definitely would not arrive home at the same time.
Luke decided to wait with Luca for Vivian's message.
Ray had entrusted him with her care, making Vivian's safety his responsibility.
While A City was generally safe, Ray had numerous enemies in Russia.
There was a chance those enemies might hold grudges and intentionally come to A City to harm Vivian. "Alright." Luke picked up the book on his bedside table and started reading.
Luca also kept herself busy, researching the properties of some herbs online a elle forviVian's message Que glanced at her tablet screen but said nothing. Since Gale had delivered the herbs, he knew she would study them. The content is on ! Read the latest chapter there!
Luke did not dwell on it. He simply hoped Luca would not push herself too hard and would take time to rest when necessary.
