Chapter 239 Proof That We Are Family

Everyone who had participated in the meeting was thoroughly exhausted, though Luke looked as though he was an emotionless robot. He strode energetically toward his office.

"Daddy... mmm..."

Rainie was the first to wake up when she heard her father's steady footsteps. She mumbled and rubbed her eyes.

Luke nodded at the little girl and tried to smile at her, though his smile was more like a reluctant stretch of the corners of his mouth.

Previously, his interactions as a father toward his children were more like formulaic obligations rather than gestures of intimacy.

That was the first time that he showed some kindness to his children.

Rainie was shocked when she looked at her dad. She thought that he looked better when he was crying.

She planned to tell Miss Bea that Daddy was acting weirdly today, as though he was a cunning wolf who wanted to lure an innocent little rabbit into his den and snap its throat...

Whoosh! Rainie hid behind the couch.

Perhaps Daddy was not himself today.

Luke did not know what his daughter was thinking. He thought that the smile was kind, gentle, and fatherly.

He sat in his comfortable office chair and deliberated how he should communicate with his children. At that time, the secretary came into the office with a cup of freshly brewed Americano. She nodded to him and left the office.

Luke took a sip of the coffee. Then, he looked at the confused children and finally took out three things from a drawer.
