Two hours later, the room quieted down.
Luca closed her eyes and leaned against Luke's chest.
Allison drugged him so hard that she had to sacrifice herself in the end.
The scent of their breaths intertwined and made Luca's heart flutter uncontrollably as she had become his woman once again.
"Luca..." Luke wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly like he wanted to become one with her body.
"Mhm," she answered dreamily.
Luke hugged her close without saying a word.
This hug was more real than a thousand-word-long profession of love.
The next day.
Gale sent the three children back to the mansion.
Luca was preparing breakfast, and when she saw that Gale had brought the children back. She walked out in her apron to
welcome them. "Mr. Gale, have you had breakfast yet?"
Gale shook his head with a smile and looked at Luke. "Boss, I did what you ordered me to do."
"Okay." Luke closed the newspaper. He was a man of few words as usual, but he was in a good mood today.
Gale also sensed it, so he looked at Luca. It seemed like the boss got what he wanted last night. He finally got to hold his woman
to sleep.
Luca's face turned red from Gale's gaze, but she invited him in, "Mr. Gale, I was just about to make breakfast. Why don't you
stay and have some?"
"Sure, I want to try Dr. Craw's cooking too." Gale immediately agreed without checking Luke's expression.
He had long heard that Luca's cooking skills were superb.
Plus, he had helped Luke a great deal yesterday. He even snatched him away from another woman's hands and brought him
home safely.
Not to mention, he also helped preserve Luke's chastity.
Hence, having a meal at their place should not be a problem.
Luke did not voice his opinion, so Luca turned around and walked back to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Upon seeing that, Lanie welcomed him. “Uncle Gale, have a seat."
“Okay." Gale happily sat down on the chair.
Tommy went beside Luke and said with concern, “Daddy, do you feel better now?"
Luke reached out with his big palm and pat his head, “I'm okay now."
“Ms. Luca is the best. Uncle Gale was right. Daddy will be fine as long as Ms. Luca is around," Tommy recalled what Gale said
yesterday and repeated it out loud.
“Tommy..." Although he was not wrong, Tommy had betrayed him.
Luke gave Gale a death stare.
Tommy said with an innocent look, “Uncle Gale, isn't that what you said? You were praising Ms. Luca. You even said that she's
as good as a firefighter!"
Gale facepalmed himself in regret.
He should not have said such things when the kids were worried about Luke, and he should not have stayed for breakfast.
Tommy was a traitor to his own teammate.
“You said such things to the children?" Luke frowned as the kids were still young, so they would not be able to understand the
meaning behind those words. However, adults would be able to understand.
He was being a bad influence on the kids!
What if curiosity got the better of them and they looked it up on the internet?
“Boss, I was just giving an example.." Gale tried to explain with a guilty look on his face.
“Although your vocabulary is limited, you shouldn't say such things." Luke held Tommy on the sofa and thought to himself to not
let the kids come in contact with someone as unreliable as Gale that often from now on.
“Boss, Tommy's questions rendered me speechless. That's why I said that."
Tommy listened to Luke lecturing Gale and said confusedly, “Daddy, what's wrong? Firefighters are awesome. Uncle Gale was
just saying how great Ms. Luca's skills are!"
“Yeah." Luke gave Gale a warning look.
Gale shut his mouth after that.
He could not say anything, nor should he say anything.
Luca was not aware of what went down in the living room. After preparing breakfast and serving it on the table, she made her
way to the living room and said to them, “Breakfast is ready."
When it came to food, Tommy would always be the first to hop off the sofa. He clapped his hands together and said, “Finally, I
can have breakfast. What are we having today, Ms. Luca?"
“You'll know it when you see it." Luca was all smiles. Her body was sore and tired, but making breakfast for her loved ones was
something to be happy about.
She looked at Gale and said, “Mr. Gale, breakfast is ready."
Gale jumped up as he was too embarrassed to stay for breakfast after Luke gave him a death stare when Tommy exposed him,
so he said, “Sorry, Dr. Craw. I'd better go, Rain is looking for me."
“Mr. Gale, breakfast won't take long. Plus, I prepared your portion too. It'll be a waste if you don't eat it." Luca found it odd that
Gale wanted to leave in a hurry, so she thought that it must have something to do with Luke.
With that in mind, she glanced at Luke.
Luke stood up and looked at Gale. “Breakfast won't hold you up for long."
Gale only felt chills down his spine, and it occurred to him that Luke would not do anything to him with Luca around. Hence, he
said with a smile, “Alright, I'll try Dr. Craw's cooking, then."
The few of them entered the dining room.
On the dining table were six steaming hot bowls of macaroni. There was not much macaroni in each of the bowls because there
were also meatballs, bread, and egg.
Luca walked into the kitchen and brought out the milk.
“Since both of you aren't going to work, I didn't prepare any coffee. Is that okay?" she asked.
“It's fine," said Luke. He loved any food or drink that Luca made.
“The macaroni smells great, Dr. Craw. what macaroni is this?" Gale asked while seated on the chair.
“Just plain macaroni. I added some butter in it to make it taste better," Luca explained.
“I see. I'll be helping myself, then." Gale picked up the utensils and took a bite. Then, his eyes lit up when he tasted the food.
It was absolutely scrumptious!
“It's delicious!"
Tommy picked up a piece of bread and ate it together with the macaroni. After hearing Gale's words, he said, “Uncle Gale,
everything Ms. Luca makes is delicious. The bread and meatballs are delicious too."
“Dr. Craw, your cooking is amazing. I should bring Rain over here sometime to learn from you," said Gale as Luca's cooking was
like heaven whereas Rain's cooking was even more horrifying than hell.
“Boss, why don't you force Rain to learn how to cook from Luca? Her cooking will be the death of me."
“Those hands of hers aren't meant for cooking in the first place." Luke reached out to grab a piece of bread and handed it to
Luca.
“You've got a point..." Gale nodded as Rain was indeed not suited for the role of a housewife, but she just so happened to have
fallen in love with cooking recently. “Then, tell her not to enter the kitchen!"
