Couple's Lunch Set
After they were seated, the waiter asked, “Mr. Crawford, should we serve the dishes now?"
"Yes." Luke nodded. He had already placed the order when he was booking the private room.
After all, there were a ton of things they needed to buy, so doing this would save some time. He did not want to see Luca being
tired.
Luca did not say anything after knowing that Luke had placed the order for them. She picked up the glass of lemonade and took
a few sips.
She was wearing lipstick during the photoshoot. It would trouble the makeup artist to touch up her lipstick whenever she drank
some water. That was why she did not drink anything. She was thirsty now.
The waiter nodded. When he was about to leave, Luke said, "I'd like to have a glass of grape juice, please."
"Okay, Mr. Crawford. Just a moment," replied the waiter.
After the waiter left, there were only two of them in the private room.
Luca sat right opposite Luke. She felt embarrassed. Then, she picked up the glass of lemonade and took another few sips. She
soon finished it.
When Luca thought of saying something to break the silence, her phone rang.
Luca took her phone out of her bag and glanced at it. It was Tommy who called.
She turned to look at Luke and explained to him, "Tommy is making a video call."
"Answer it," replied Luke.
Luca placed the glass on the center of the table, making it a temporary phone holder. She leaned her phone on the glass, then
pressed the answer button. "Hey Tommy, what's the matter?"
Tommy's dark, big eyes blinked as he said in a childish voice, "Ms. Luca, have you eaten?"
"I'm about to eat now," replied Luca as she shot a glance at Luke.
She did not know what Tommy was going to tell her. Luke was still in front of her.
"Where's Daddy?" Tommy asked.
Luca was about to pick up her phone, but Luke reached out and held her wrist.
"Huh?" Luca looked at Luke in surprise.
Luke rose to his feet and walked toward her back. Then, he pulled the chair beside them and sat down on the chair. He was
slightly behind her. Then, he asked Tommy, who was on the other end of the video, "Yes?"
Luca could feel her ears burning all of a sudden.
She slightly turned her face back and looked at the distance between Luke and her. They were so close that she only had to turn
around to be able to lean on Luke's shoulder.
Tommy looked at the two of them, smiled, and said, "I called to remind Daddy to get me my snacks. I want chocolates and
cookies. Oh yes, please get some strawberry candy too. I'm not eating those. I just want to share them with my classmates when
school reopens."
“Tommy, you can't be too greedy.” Luke raised his brows. This little boy had gone too far.
Tommy chose to make a video call to Luca just to remind Luke to buy these for him in front of Luca.
That way, Luke had no choice but to agree with him. Otherwise, this little boy would tell Luca that his father deliberately sent
them away just to go on a date with Luca.
"And nougats. I'd like to have those too. By the way, Daddy, there must be almonds in the chocolate. If you don't know how to
choose them, leave this task to Ms. Luca. The ones she buy taste good," Tommy continued chattering away.
Luke's face turned a little gloomy.
Rainie, who was nearby, heard Tommy talking to the tablet. She came forward and glanced at the tablet with curiosity.
Their father's face had become gloomy.
Tommy would be lectured if Rainie did not stop him. Thus, Rainie pulled Tommy away and said, "That's enough, Tommy. Daddy
and Ms. Luca will get them for you. Stop it. Besides, many people will be coming for the New Year's celebration. There'll be tons
of snacks.”
"I don't care. Daddy promised me." Tommy turned his face and said to Rainie. Then, he turned to look at Luke and asked,
"Daddy, have you memorized them?"
"Yes," Luke replied in a deep voice. There was a trace of shrewdness in Tommy's eyes. How dared this little boy set him up.
"Great. Daddy, Ms. Luca, we're going to have lunch now. Goodbye." Tommy waved his hand and hung up the call before Luke
and Luca could respond.
"You promised Tommy?" Luca asked. Usually, they would always have snacks at home, but most of them were healthy snacks
like fruits.
As for cookies, they would choose certain brands that were healthy for the kids, but the kids loved eating chocolates. Still, Luke
would not buy too many chocolates for them for the sake of their health. "Yes." Luke put the chair back and returned to his seat
that was opposite her. Their gazes met.
Luca nodded and said, "I know how to make them, and they can be quite healthy too."
"You know how to make them?" Luke asked.
"Apart from strawberry candy, I know how to make the others..." replied Luca. The ingredients for cookies were butter and flour,
while marshmallows and almonds would be needed to make nougats. Making chocolate was easy too. She only had to buy
cocoa beans to make them.
"Let's go get some ingredients later. Can you make those for them?" Luke asked. The ones he bought outside would not be as
good as homemade ones.
Luke refused to let the kids have too many snacks like those. He thought they were unhealthy for them.
That was why Tommy seized the chance to ask him to buy more snacks this time.
However, he was reluctant to buy them for the children. It was not because he was unwilling to spend money but it was for their
own good.
Aunt Neile did not know how to make these snacks due to her age.
“Okay. It's healthier for the kids if I can make them myself too. We don't have to worry about their health either." Luca agreed with
him and promised to make the snacks for the kids.
There would be no additives added to the snacks if she made them herself. She could make anything the kids were craving that
day. It was healthy and good for them.
"Thank you," said Luke. The company would only give the employees their holidays starting on Monday. Holidays were for them
to relax and take a break from work, but it seemed like Luca would be busy taking care of the kids during the holidays.
"They're not difficult to make, but I'm worried that the kids will be unhappy when they realized we only bought the ingredients
back," replied Luca. Even if home-cooked food tasted good, it would not taste as good as the ones sold outside.
It was the same for snacks.
Even though she could make delicious snacks, the snacks sold outside always tasted better than the homemade ones. Hence,
Luca was worried that the kids would feel disappointed.
"They won't. They love everything you make," Luke assured her. The three kids loved everything that Luca made for them.
Food prepared by others did not taste as good as Luca's homemade food.
Hence, the idea of home-cooked food not tasting as good as the foods sold outside was inapplicable to Luca.
Luca nodded. She was good at making food and snacks for the kids.
There was a knock on the door. The next second, the waiter pushed the dining cart in, walked into the room, and served the
dishes on the table.
After serving them, the waiter asked, "May I know who's having the grape juice..."
"It's for her," answered Luke. He noticed that Luca was drinking a lot of water earlier, and he knew she was thirsty. That was why
he ordered a glass of grape juice for her.
"Miss, here's your glass of grape juice," said the waiter. He placed the glass beside Luca and said, "The couple's lunch set has
been served. Please press the bell if you need anything."
