Chapter 3186 If You Doubt A Person, Don't Use Them. If You Use Them, Don't Doubt Them
As Luca explained, Amur began to grasp the overall situation. "Got it."
Essentially, it boiled down to Abel not trusting Luca.
There was an old saying in A City, "If you doubt a person, don't use them. If you use them, don't doubt them." However, this saying did not apply to Abel.
He doubted everyone, especially Luca and those around her.
Even Amur and Elr were closely watched by Abel's people, who feared they might do something to harm the interests of the Island of Despair.
At times, Amur could not grasp why Abel would assign Luca such important missions if he truly doubted her.
He could easily assign her other missions or just keep her confined on the Island of Despair; it would be a form of torment for Luke.
The person beside him was not the real Luca while the real Luca was being painfully manipulated. Was that not a better form of revenge?
Amur was puzzled.
Luca let out a sigh as she recalled the events in X City. She reminded, "Pierre's incident caused a big stir, and then you had to carry out another mission after that. The police over there are now very vigilant, so you need to be extra careful."
"Yes, I will," replied Amur, secretly letting out a sigh. He did not let her know how he felt.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
If Luca was really worried about him, she would not have gone so long without seeing him. If he had not asked, she would not have even mentioned that Abel was suspicious of her.
Thinking about this made Amur feel uneasy.
He glanced at the time and added, "I have to go now."
"Alright. Take care," reminded Luca, sensing something was off with Amur. "Amur, don't force yourself on this mission, okay?"
If their mission failed but they were not caught, there would still be a chance to survive. However, if they failed and got caught, there would be no chance at all.
Like Jacob, who failed his mission and got caught, Gerald would have to deal with him.
Still, would someone like Gerald really dare to get rid of two people? Luca doubted he had the skill and courage to effort.
If he did, taking out a living person was not a simple matter. It required both courage and determination.
Gerald lacked these qualities-unless he knew that if Jacob lived, he would have no chance to survive. In that case, he might fight back.
"Okay," replied Amur as he ended the call. He picked up a bag, left the apartment, and drove away.
Luca sat in her study, staring at her phone's screen. It took a long time before she came back to her senses. She shook her head.
"I hope everything goes well for him," murmurmed Luca.
With Abel currently in A City, she could not leave carelessly. If Abel found out, who knew what trouble he might cause?
All Luca wanted now was a bit of peace until Luke's friends and subordinates finished their investigations and took action.
She glanced at the documents on her desk. Her thoughts drifted to Shanks.
What exactly was Shanks researching? Why was he collecting these medicinal herbs? Luca could not figure it out.
Just as she was about to continue reading the documents, there was a knock on the door. Aunt Nelle's voice came from outside, "Ms. Craw, it's already 11:00 a.m."
Luca glanced at the time and realized it was indeed 11:00 a.m.
Time flew when she was engrossed in her studies, especially with the kids upstairs and Luke hashing out plans with Gordan and the others. With no interruptions, it felt like time was on fast forward.
"Okay," replied Luca. She put down her documents, grabbed her phone, and opened the study door.
Aunt Nelle was still standing outside.
Luca closed the study door. She smiled at Aunt Nelle and asked, "Aunt Nelle, have the groceries I ordered arrived?"
Aunt Nelle nodded and accompanied her downstairs. "They arrived about an hour ago. I noticed the ingredients didn't need seasoning, so I washed it and put them in the fridge."
"Great," replied Luca as she reached the living room, where the three kids were sitting on the couch reading. She reminded them, "It's essential to take a break and admire the flowers and plants outside after reading. It's good for your eyes."
"Okay, Ms. Luca," the three children replied in unison.
Tommy added, "We just took a break five minutes ago."
Luca smiled and headed to the kitchen. After washing her hands once, she washed them again.
Aunt Nelle, puzzled by her actions, asked, "Ms. Craw, what's going on? Why are you washing your hands so many times?"

" Oh, I was handling some medicinal herbs earlier, so I need to wash them thoroughly,” explained Luca. "If they were ordinary herbs, one wash would suffice. However, she had been handling toxic herbs, so she washed her hands multiple times for safety. She even used hot water.
The hot water had turned her skin red.
Aunt Nelle frowned as she watched, but Luca acted as though nothing was wrong and continued washing her hands.
Not everyone had the same tolerance as she did, so she was being extra cautious.
As Aunt Nelle watched Luca wash her hands the fifth time and was about to ask if there was a need to do so, Luca finally stopped and began preparing the ingredients.
Aunt Nelle helped by washing onions and parsley while Luca quickly chopped some tomatoes.
With both kids and adults present, she needed to prepare a non-spicy option for the three kids. With guests around, offering a variety would ensure everyone’s preferences were met.
Once all the ingredients were ready, Luca started making the tacos.
Aunt Nelle, who had never seen Luca prepare tacos before, took notes with pen and paper, thinking that she could help prepare them in the future whether at home or here.
Even though she had not tasted the food yet, Aunt Nelle knew that Luca’s homemade meals were never disappointing. She meticulously recorded every step and ingredient, knowing how much her grandson enjoyed tacos. The content is on Read the latest chapter there!
As Aunt Nelle watched Luca cook, she commented, "Ms. Craw, back in our school days, studying was pretty laid-back and we never even considered further education. But now, as I'm jotting down these notes, I'm finding myself taking it more seriously than I ever did in school." The content is on Read the latest chapter there!
Luca could not help but let out a laugh, "Aunt Nelle, you don’t need to take notes. If you want the recipe, I'll give it to you."
"But you'd still need to write it down. It's no trouble for me. I have time now, so I'll watch you cook and take notes. My grandson loves tacos, but neither my daughter-in-law nor I know how to make them.”
"We always order takeout, but you know those are full of additives, and it’s not healthy for kids. Your recipe has none, so if I note it down and learn it, I can make tacos for my grandson."
Aunt Nelle's cooking had improved significantly since she started using Luca's recipes.
Whenever she had a day off or time to cook, her family enjoyed the meals so much more, with her grandchild always asking for second helpings.
