Chapter 378 So Caring and Indulgent


    Everything served at lunch was home-cooked, but it had a full spread of meats, an assortment of


    vegetables, and Old Master Rayne''s favorite sake.


    Luke had found out about Old Master Rayne''s favorite sake brand from Bianca. He took a long detour


    on the way and bought it.


    After serving the rib stew on the table, Bianca sat down next to Luke.


    She scooped some stew into her grandfather''s te and said, "Grandpa, I''ve learned how to cook from


    recipe books. Try them. I hope that you''ll like it."


    Most of the dishes were Old Master Rayne''s favorites, while the others were Luke''s favorite dishes.


    Old Master Rayne patted Luke''s shoulders and heaped praise on his granddaughter. "My


    granddaughter is pretty good, right? Look at all the dishes served on the table. Not only do they look


    good, but they taste good too. I''m already drooling from the smell alone. You''re so lucky to marry my


    Bianca. She’s been a good girl since young, but she is too soft. She won''tin even if someone


    wronged her. You''d better not bully my granddaughter, Luke!"


    Old Master Rayne had met Luke several times and knew that he was the boss of a multinational


    company. Luke might be rich, but he was not arrogant. Instead, he was polite and courteous toward


    Old Master Rayne, which gave the old man a good impression of him.


    Old Master Rayne was nheless worried.


    His granddaughter was a good girl, but the outstanding man came from a wealthy family.


    Meanwhile, his family was not rich or influential, and he feared that he was a burden. He was also


    worried that his granddaughter might be looked down upon.


    Luke''s well-built body sat elegantly on the dining chair. While discreetly fondling Bianca''s petite hand,


    he spoke jokingly to Old Master Rayne, ‘ Don''t worry, Grandpa. Bianca''s position in the family is higher


    than mine.


    She''s always the one bullying me. Would I dare to bully her? I don''t think I''ve pampered her enough!"


    "Good boy! Here, let''s drink..."


    Old Master Rayne was in good spirits today. After several drinks, his face was glowing red, and he


    seemed tipsy.


    Bianca hurriedly snatched her grandfather''s cup when she saw that. "You ought to drink less, Grandpa.


    It''s not good for your health."


    Old Master Rayne nced at Bianca unhappily. "I''m in a good mood today. I know my body better than


    anyone else, and I won''t copse after just a few drinks. I''d like to have a few more drinks with my


    grandson-inw."


    Wanda, who had been cing food on the twins'' tes, frowned when she heard that. "You might be in


    a good mood today, Father, but you shouldn''t drink too much. When we went to the hospital for your


    checkup a few days ago, the doctor said that you should quit drinking. If your body can''t take it and you


    have to be hospitalized, Bianca would have toe and take care of you."


    Old Master Rayne mmed the cup heavily on the table when he heard what his daughter said.


    His expression sank, and he said angrily, "Fine, I won''t drink anymore! My grandson-inw is here to


    visit me, and I thought I''d drink a few more cups with him. What''s wrong with that?"


    Bianca sighed helplessly. What was she going to do with her grandfather who loved alcohol?


    The twins looked at their great-grandfather with their big and round eyes. Their mouths were open, and


    they had forgotten to chew.


    The way how their maternal great-grandfather threw a tantrum was exactly the same as Old Master


    Crawford!


    Old Master Crawford suffered from high blood pressure and could not eat oily or spicy food, but he


    loved to eat meat. When Luke tried to restrict his diet, he would throw a tantrum just like that, and the


    twins would find it too funny!

    Luke had his own way of dealing with bad-tempered old men. After all, he could handle Old Master


    Crawford who had a bad temper. Old Master Rayne looked more like an overaged child.


    He ced his cup on the table elegantly, smiled, and said gently, "I''ve drunk a little with my client


    before I got here. The sake is too strong, and I don''t think I can manage another drink. How about we


    drink another day? Right, my old man has several bottles of fine red wine in his cer at home. Not only


    does it taste amazing, but it''s also good for your health. You can even drink a bottle of that without any


    ill effects. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry toe today, and I forgot to bring it for you. I''ll bring a bottle


    of wine next time, and we''ll drink it together. How about that?"


    Old Master Rayne felt a lot better when his grandson-inw alleviated the situation.


    When he heard that there would be wine, his clouded eyes sparkled. ’ Alright, we''ll drink to our fill the


    next time then!"


    The family continued the meal happily.


    Luke had to chat with Old Master Rayne and at the same time answer Wanda''s incisive questions.


    However, he could handle them just fine.


    Luke was not used to being so chatty with strangers, but Old Master Rayne was different. The old man


    was gentle and caring. He would have never experienced such homeliness back in Crawford Manor,


    and that made him want to be part of this family.


    He helped Bianca take a lot of food and piled her te high.


    "You''re too skinny, Bianca. You ought to eat more..." His eyes brimmed with indulgence.


    His movements were so natural, as though he had done that for a million times.


    Old Master Rayne and Wanda saw all that.


    Old Master Rayne had lived for a long time. He could tell that Luke was genuinely kind to his


    granddaughter.


    Wanda was worried that the rich man might only be temporarily infatuated with her niece. However,


    from Luke''s performance at the dining table, she could see that his love for her was genuine, i


    However, Wanda was not very at ease yet. She felt that a man''s love toward a woman was fleeting. For


    example, when her husband was madly in love with her, the way he pampered her would cause every


    woman in Japan to envy her. Once that love was gone, he would not turn to look at her no matter how


    she cried and begged...


    All she hoped was that her kind and gentle niece would not suffer as she did.


    After lunch, Bianca and Wanda cleaned up while Luke yed chess with Old Master Rayne.


    At night, Bianca, Luke, and the two children stayed for dinner and the night.


    Luke might be two generations apart from Old Master Rayne, but he knew how to appease the old


    man. Even Wanda, who had some biased opinions against him, was eventually convinced that he was


    the right man for Bianca.


    The next morning, Luke had to rush back to his office, while Bianca had to take care of Nina at the


    hospital.


    Old Master Rayne was reluctant to see them leave.


    However, he knew that they had their personal lives and could not be always apanying him. He


    saw them off at the door.


    Before he left, Old Master Rayne handed him a red envelope. "Take this. It''s a family tradition for a


    grandfather to give his grandson-inw some money. This is my blessing for the two of you. You''ll have


    to ept it..."


    Luke was shocked.


    In his many years in the business world, his social circle consisted of people from the upper echelons


    of society.


    Those people were either greedy, ttering, or deceptive, but they had a singr goal, which was to


    get money from him. He had given a lot of money to those people.


    It was the first time someone gave him money...
