Chapter 376
Judy picked up a glass of wine and said, “I hardly ever drink, but this wine tonight is from Adam’s collection. You
won’t find this wine in the market anymore. It was all acquired through high-priced auctions. Each bottle I drink
means there’s one less, so I can’t just let this valuable wine go to waste.”
Leonard chimed in, “I’ve been with Mr. Hills for ten years. I’ve celebrated
Christmas with him on multiple occasions, but it was always during hectic
work periods. This is the first time we’re gathered around the dining table,
relishing Christmas dinner, watching TV, and indulging in such exquisite
wine.”
“Come on, let’s raise a toast to Mr. Hills and Lumma. We’re truly grateful to
Mr. Hills for providing us with this wonderful venue to gather, and to Lumma for preparing such an extravagant
Christmas dinner for us.” Laura and Steve echoed Leonard’s feelings, faithfully following Adam wherever he went.
Despite Adam’s busy schedule during the Christmas season, their greatest joy
came from being together as a family, making it the most serene holiday they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcould have asked for.
“This feast was prepared by all of us together. How can I take all the credit?” Lumma quickly stood up and clinked
glasses with everyone.
After drinking a glass of wine, Lumma said, “You all go ahead and eat. I need
to video call Maria.”
She dialed the video call, and Maria answered quickly as usual. “Lumma, are
you done with work?”
“Yes, I’m done,” Lumma turned the phone around, deliberately avoiding showing Adam on camera since he never
appeared on camera. “Grandma, look, I’m having Christmas dinner and watching TV with my colleagues.”

Lumma’s camera first focused on Judy, who waved her hand and greeted
Maria, “Hello, Maria! Rest assured. We’ll take good care of Lumma.”
“Thank you! Thank you! With all of you here with Lumma, I don’t have to worry about her being alone during the
holidays,” Maria expressed her gratitude to everyone present, excluding Adam. She then turned to Lumma and
asked, “Lumma, can you also watch the show in Preivlille?”
Lumma nodded in agreement. “Absolutely, it’s a global live broadcast. The purpose is to allow people from all
around the world to watch the show together with their families.”
Maria nodded satisfactorily and couldn’t help but nag, “Lumma, remember to call Lucas too. Being a long-distance
couple, you two can’t skimp on phone
calls.”
“Grandma, I know,” Lumma had been busy with work alongside Adam
recently, and she heard from Maria that Lucas was also busy. So, after moving
into Adam’s house, she only contacted Lucas once.
In the past few days, Lumma hadn’t been in touch with Lucas, and Lucas hadn’t reached out to her either. She
grew concerned that he might be busy, so she patiently waited, anticipating that he would finish his work and send
her a message. However, as Christmas Eve arrived, Lumma still hadn’t received any
communication from Lucas.
Before taking her seat at the table, Lumma sent a message to Lucas. However, up until that moment, she hadn’t
received a reply from him.
People often said that if a man truly cared about you, he would make time to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcall or send a message, no matter how busy he was. If he couldn’t even spare a
moment for a phone call, it likely indicated a lack of genuine concern.
Lumma considered herself not clingy, and it was understandable for both of
them to have busy lives. However, since they had committed to spending their lives together, not being able to see
each other and relying solely on mobile communication had become a necessary part of their relationship.
Lumma sat there, brooding, lost in her thoughts, when she received a WhatsApp notification. She opened the
message and was surprised to find that

it was from Lucas. It was a transfer of 20 thousand dollars, accompanied by a note that read: [Lumma, Merry
Christmas!]
Without saying a word, he boldly transferred 20 thousand dollars.
Lumma couldn’t deny that Lucas’s gesture was indeed generous, but she couldn’t shake off her anger. She quickly
composed a message in response: [You ignore me for days, and now you think you can make up for it by
transferring money? Do you think I’m in need of this meager sum from you?]
Lucas didn’t reply anything and transferred another 20 thousand dollars.
