Luca and Rainie were baking cookies in the kitchen, while Aunt Neile was tidying up the living room.

The villa's telephone rang. Aunt Neile answered the call with a puzzled look on her face. After all, people nowadays used smartphones, and there was hardly anyone who would call the villa's landline number. The telephone was basically a decoration in the house. Besides, it was the first time the telephone rang after she started working here.

"Hello, this is theCrawford family." Aunt Neile picked up the receiver.

“Is Luca there?” Luke's voice came from the other end of the line.

Aunt Neile was startled for a moment, and she replied, "Mr. Crawford? You're looking for Ms. Craw, right?"

"Is she in the villa?" Luke asked.

"Yes. Ms. Craw is in the kitchen. She's baking cookies with Ms. Rainie. Do you need me to inform her to pick up your call?" Aunt Neile asked.

"Never mind. If she's at the villa, then it's fine," said Luke. He called Luca after the meeting ended, but no one was answering the call.

Hence, he called Aunt Neile, but she did not answer the call either.

He had no choice but to dial the villa's landline number.

"Okay, Mr. Crawford," Aunt Neile was confused. Luke called to ask about Luca, but he did not ask her to answer the call. That was weird.

Luke added, "Aunt Neile, bring your phone with you when you're doing house chores. I need you to pick up my calls if anything happens."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Crawford." Aunt Neile knew Luke had tried to call her when he told her that, but she had been carrying her phone with her. She did not hear her phone ring, though. She took her phone out of her pocket and realized she had no idea when her phone had been switched to airplane mode.

"My kids must've touched my phone and switched it to airplane mode. That's why I didn't hear the phone ringing. I'm sorry," explained Aunt Neile.

"It's okay. I'll be back in a few days. Take good care of them." Luke hung up the call after that.
