Luca was surprised, then she turned to look at Luke.
Couple’s lunch set?
Luca nced at the dishes on the table. They were indeed a couple’s meal set. She noticed that the
foie gras was in a heart shape too.
The same went with the straw of the grape juice.
Luke noticed that Luca was surprised, but he did not make any exnation.
There was nothing much to exin. They were on a date, after all. Of course, it had to be romantic. It
was normal to order a couple’s meal set.
After the waiter left and closed the door, Luke ced the appetizer and main course in front of her. He
said, "Try them and see if you like them."
Luca nodded. Then, she had a taste of the appetizer. It tasted like authentic French cuisine. She
nodded and said, "It tastes good."
“Have some more,” said Luke. He picked up the cutleries and tasted the food as well.
As expected from a restaurant rmended by a food magazine. The food tasted good. Luke tasted
the food while sizing Luca up at the same time.
Luca was having some foie gras. She touched her face with some confusion when Luke stared at her.
She asked, "Mr. Crawford, is there something on my face?"
"No," replied Luke. The corner of his lips curled up a little. He did not expect to act like a little boy when
eating his lunch while looking at the woman he loved.
However, it had been a long time since he went on a date with Luca alone. He almost forgot how it felt.
Luke felt like a teenager in love with a girl when he looked at Luca. Even though Luca''s appearance
had changed, he could still remember the moments he spent with her in their high school years.
A nce at her could make his heart race and spark his soul.
Luca’s face reddened a little with Luke staring at her like this. She already had four children, but she
would still blush when Luke was looking at her like that.
It was as though she was still a young girl facing someone she loved. Even though she was socially
inexperienced back then, she could not help but fall for him.
"Mr. Crawford, the food in front of you is more tempting." Luca cleared her throat, and she could not
stop herself from saying that. Her heart would continue to beat faster if Luke looked at her like this
while she was eating her lunch.
“You taste better than the food." Luke was being honest and admitted how alluring Luca was to him.
Luca widened her eyes. She could not believe what she had heard.
A man who had always been cold and arrogant actually said something like this.
Luca suddenly recalled that many years ago before they had children, they had once sat on the rattan
chairs on the balcony. They whispered to each other and told each other how much they had fallen in
with each other in a soft voice.
Love was in the air, and they eventually...
Luca''s face reddened like a tomato.
"What''s on your mind?" Luke smiled when he looked at her reddened face.
"Nothing." Luca shook her head. There was no way she could tell him what she was thinking about.
Luke did not force her to tell him when Luca refused to tell him. Her reddened face had already
exined everything to him. "Have some more."
"Okay." Luca looked down and forced herself to try her best not to look at Luke. She was afraid that
she would lose control and think of other stuff when she looked at him. It would eventually be revealed
on her face.
Luke was smart. She could not hide anything from him.
The waiter came in again after they finished their lunch. He cleaned up the table and brought two
mousse cakes in. The cakes were heart-shaped too. He smiled, looked at the two of them, and asked,
"Mr. Crawford, Ms. Luca, we help take photos for our customers as a souvenir. You may take the photo
with you or leave it in the restaurant. Would you like to take one?"
Before Luke could say anything, Luca immediately replied, "No, thank you."
Luke did not say a word. He knew why she refused to take the photo, and he did not force her either.
After all, they had just taken so many photos together. If Luca was unwilling to take more photos now,
then he would just let her be.
"The food magazine stated that there''s a daily limited supply for this dessert. You won''t be able to have
this if youete. Try this." Luke handed one of them to her.
"Thank you." Luca picked up the dessert fork and took a small piece of it. She put it in her mouth and
tasted it.
There was a rich aroma, and the sweetness was just perfect. It melted in her mouth. It glided down her
throat before she could chew it.
It was silky-smooth.
Luca smiled and thought of the kids. She said, "If Rainie and Tommy were here, they would love it."
"I''ve already ordered takeouts for them," replied Luke. He ordered six of them, and he was nning to
give one to Aunt Neile too.
Although Luke was on a date with Luca, he was still a thoughtful father.
The ingredients of the restaurant were fresh. He ced his order when he saw the mousse cake.
Luca gave him a gentle smile and said, "The kids will be delighted to see it."
"Yes. They love desserts," replied Luke. Lanie had the least interest in desserts among the three of
them. However, Luca agreed that the dessert tasted good. Therefore, Lanie should like it too.
Lanie was Luca''s son. There were always many simrities between a mother and her son, such as
their taste preferences. Luca and Lanie shared the same preferences.
After lunch, Luke and Luca left the restaurant. They came to the biggest supermarket in the shopping
mall, Walmart. Then, they started buying the things needed for the New Year''s celebration based on
the list given by Aunt Neile.
The most important thing to get in a supermarket was food and other ingredients.
After all, the dishes served during New Year were more sumptuous than usual. Hence, after Luca
bought all the ingredients and things on the list, she bought other ingredients that she thought she
might use.
Of course, she did not forget about the ingredients used to make the kids'' snacks.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
After she bought everything, the two ended up with three big bags.
Luke was carrying two of them while Luca carried one in her hands.
Luke looked at the things they bought for the New Year''s celebration and said, “Why don''t we put these
back in the car first?"
"Sure," Luca nodded. There were many other things they needed to buy. There was no way they could
carry these while they continued shopping.
The shopping mall belonged to T Corporation. However, if Luke revealed his identity, it would cause an
uproar. That was why Luke was wearing the cap and mask, keeping a low profile.
They got into the elevator and headed to the basement parking lot. After Luke put the two bags into his
car trunk, he took the bag in Luca''s hand. He noticed that her hands were pale white from carrying the
heavy bag.
After Luke put the bag into the car trunk, he locked the car. Then, he took Luca''s hand and looked
closely at her fingers.
He frowned and said, "Your fingers..."
"They''ll go back to normal soon," said Luca. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Luke held it tight.
He did not intend to let her hand go.
"I should''ve asked someone to carry it for you," Luke said. He could not bear to see Luca get hurt.
However, the bag was really big. It would be inconvenient for him to walk while carrying three big bags
alone. That was why Luca suggested carrying one of them, and Luke agreed.
He did not expect the lightest bag to leave a mark on her long, slim fingers.
"It''s nothing. I''m not hurt. The mark will be gone soon. Mr. Crawford, don''t make a big deal out of it,"
said Luca. She looked indifferently at the mark on her fingers after carrying something heavy.
It was not a big deal.
Besides, her fingers were not as smooth as before after training for a few years. They were no longer
soft and smooth.
