Louis was stunned. He shook his head as he watched the three kids leave.


    He had not chatted with these kids for some time, and he noticed that they had be mischievous


    again. He did not think he had enough brain cells to talk to them.


    After notifying Louis, the three kids returned to the dining hall. Aunt Neile had already served up


    burgers for them.


    “The burgers are ready. Come and have breakfast," she said to the kids smilingly.


    “Thanks, Aunt Neile," the kids said in unison as they sat on their chairs.


    Luke did not see Louis, so he asked, “Where''s your uncle?"


    “Uncle Louis was still in bed when we went over. We spent a long time waking him up. He just woke up


    and is washing up now. He''lle down soon," Tommy answered before picking up the burger and


    biting into it.


    The bun was soft, and the patty was tender. It was scrumptious. Tommy''s eyes lit up as he said, “It''s


    so, so yummy! Ms. Luca''s patties are the best!"


    Luca smiled at the kid''sments. Seeing Aunt Neile serve the burgers reminded her of Wanda and


    Queenie. An inexplicable difort and sense of helplessness flooded her mind.


    Wanda used to enjoy the burgers she made.


    She said they were the best she had ever tasted, and nothing came close.


    If not for the awkward situation she and Luke had created, she would have sent some to the hospital


    for Wanda.


    However, there was no way she could do so now, so she looked away. Luke noticed it.


    "Aunt Neile, are there any leftovers?" Luke asked.


    Aunt Neile looked puzzled as there was still a lot on the table. Even with Louis here, they probably


    would not be able to finish all of them. “There''s still some in the refrigerator. I can heat them up for


    breakfast tomorrow."


    “Prepare two servings for me in an insted lunch box please," said Luke.


    “If you want to take them with you, should I separate the sauce so that it won''t get soggy?" Aunt Neile


    asked for his opinion.


    “Sure." Luke took a bite of the burger.


    Then, Luca looked at him. “Who are you bringing them for?"

    “I want to bring some to thepany for lunch," Luke lied to her. He knew what she was thinking about


    when he saw her looking at the food gloomily.


    He wanted to bring the food to the hospital for Queenie and Wanda.


    They were still waiting patiently for Luca to admit her true identity. Many days had passed, but there


    was still no news. They were growing a little impatient.


    They were even starting to wonder how terrible the person controlling Luca was for her to keep the


    secret to herself for so long.


    Perhaps Luca''s food would be able to calm their anxiousness.


    "Alright." Luca nodded. Her mind was elsewhere, so she did not give it much thought. She thought that


    he wanted to pack some to thepany for lunch because the burgers tasted good.


    Louis could smell the aroma of the burgers as he walked downstairs. When he entered the dining hall,


    he said exaggeratedly, "The burgers smell amazing. Ms. Luca, my brother is so lucky to have you."


    Luke looked up slightly and shot him a nce.


    Luca was a little taken aback before she looked down and smiled.


    Louis dly sat at the guest''s seat and helped himself to a big burger without waiting for Aunt Neile to


    serve him.


    "Delicious! The bun is so soft, and the meat is vorful. It tastes great." He gave a huge thumbs-up


    after taking a bite. "Brother, can Ie here to eat every day?"


    Luke rolled his eyes at him and said coldly, "How are you still talking with so much food in your mouth?"


    "Uncle Louis, Great-grandpa said to not talk with your mouth full, or else you''ll get indigestion and a


    tummy ache," said Tommy.


    Louis was lectured by the kids again. He thought that if he did not say something back, he would lose


    his dignity as their uncle. "That''s right, so you should eat your breakfast quietly and don''t talk."


    Then, Tommy pointed to his te and said, "I''ve already finished eating, and it''s time to go to school.


    Daddy, Ms. Luca, Uncle Louis, enjoy your meal. I''m going to school now."


    After that, he hopped off his chair.


    Lanie and Rainie stood up too. After saying goodbye to them, they followed Tommy to the living room


    to get their school bags and leave for school.


    Louis chewed on his food and thought to himself, ''Since when were the kids so good with words...''


    "I''m full. I''m going to work now," said Luke.


    Upon hearing that, Aunt Neile walked into the kitchen and took out two insted lunch boxes for Luke.


    "Mr. Crawford, the burgers are ready and have been packed separately."


    "Thanks." Luke nodded before ncing at Luca. "I''m off to work."


    "Alright, drive safe." Luca nodded. After Luke left, she looked at Louis and noticed that he had quite a


    big appetite.


    She was worried that there was not enough food for him, so she said, "Mr. Louis, there''s still quite a lot


    of leftovers. Should I make some more for you?" "No, thank you." Although Louis thought that the


    burgers were delicious, he was embarrassed to eat so much. Plus, the amount left on the table was


    enough for him anyway. "It''s enough, Ms. Luca. Don''t worry about me. This is more than enough."


    Luca smiled. Louis used to like her cooking at Crawford Manor too.


    However, their days at Crawford Manor were not peaceful. Susan always had something to say about


    Luke, which meant that she had something to say about Luca too. She wouldin whenever she


    saw Louis getting along with her.


    Louis was also tired of his mother''s grumbling, so after he started working, they did not talk much.


    However, Luca knew that Louis was a good person, and he was also one of the people in the Crawford


    family who was genuinely good to her.


    "There''s no need to be shy. It''s important that you eat enough. If there''s anything you need, let Aunt


    Neile know. I''m going to work now." Luca nced at the time. Warren was already waiting outside. If


    she did not leave now, she would bete.


    "Sure thing, Ms. Luca. Go on, you don''t need to worry about me." Louis grinned.


    He could not go to the office in his pajamas and without a car, so he still had to wait for Yuri toe


    back.


    Luca nodded and left the house.


    Then, Aunt Neile and Louis were the only ones left.


    After Louis cleaned his te satisfyingly, he leaned back in his chair and sighed. "This breakfast was


    amazing."


    Aunt Neile heard him, and she said smilingly, "Ms. Luca is a good cook. Do you still want more, Mr.


    Louis? There''s still some in the refrigerator."


    "No, thank you. I''m not a pig; I can''t eat that much." Louis shook his head and took out a tissue to wipe


    his mouth before adding, "By the way, Aunt Neile, is there a phone in the living room? I need to give


    Yuri a call."


    "Yes, it''s right next to the sofa," said Aunt Neile.


    "Thank you. I''ll go make a call," said Louis as he stood up. Sleepingte yesterday and being overly


    stuffed had made him feel a little sleepy.


    He would not be going to the office anymore once she came back. Instead, the first thing he would do


    when he got home was catch up on sleep.
