Chapter 1159 Habits
Luca was surprised. She had not put too much thought into how she arranged her items, and she had done what she always did.
Three years ago, Luke would occasionally step into the kitchen to watch her cook. He had even asked her about how she arranged the items, and she had patiently explained it to him...
"Also?" Luca was flustered for a second, but she soon composed herself. She turned her head to look at him. "Have you seen someone else arrange her items like this?" "My wife," Luke said. "She used to arrange her items like this."
Luca nodded. That was how she had arranged her items since she was young. Even though she had not stepped into the kitchen for three years, she could remember how to do it when faced with a variety of items.
"I learned this method from the Internet. This way, I can efficiently find the things I want, and that'll help me cook faster. Not only that, but I also arrange my apparatus like this when I'm in the lab. I won't have to waste time looking for the things I want."
Luke nodded. He stared at the kitchen counter, thinking of something.
It was normal for two people to share some similarities. Perhaps Tommy was fond of Luca because she shared some similarities with the Bianca from before.
How about him then?
Luke was confused. He had never approached another woman so readily and hoped to know her better.
That was not how he usually acted.
Seeing that Luke was still standing there, she said, "Can you leave the kitchen for a while, Mr. Crawford? I'm not used to someone watching me cook."
She was afraid that Luke might catch on to some of her other quirks.
She did not expect that Luke knew her so well, that he could think of the previous Bianca just by watching her arrange the items on the kitchen counter.
Luke might not have thought that Luca and the previous Bianca were the same person, but she could not bear to see the confusion in his eyes.
What had she done to make the man so concerned about her?
Luke nodded and left the kitchen.
Luca breathed a sigh of relief, though she felt very dejected. Earlier, she hoped that Luke would suspect her for the slightest bit.
He did not, and everything was just as usual.
Luca took out the rest of the items from the bags in a daze and prepared to cook.
Luke sat on a chair in the dining hall and listened to what was going on in the kitchen.
The door was open, and he could hear everything clearly.
His gaze became even more profound as he heard her turn on the tap.
Everyone had their method of arranging items, and it was impossible that the two people could behave so similarly.
Luca's explanation earlier was quite far-fetched.
"What are you doing, Daddy?" Tommy thought that the cartoon on the television was boring, so he ran over to the dining hall.
"Nothing," Luke said. He did not want to tell his son what he was thinking.
Luke's phone rang. It was from Bianca.
Luke answered it.
"Luke, the butler said that you and Tommy aren't not having dinner at home tonight. Do you have a business dinner to attend?" Bianca's voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
Luke looked at Tommy, who was sprawled over the table. "I'm working overtime today." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"With Tommy?" Bianca felt a little suspicious. When Sean, the driver, came home and said that Luke had taken Tommy from school, she did not think too much about it. It was only when she got to know that Luke was not coming home for dinner that she began to wonder what was happening.
"Tommy wasn't feeling well earlier. I picked him up from school, and he's now in the company with me," Luke explained.
"If that's the case, should I send some food over?" Bianca felt a little more at ease after hearing his explanation.
Whenever there was a change in Luke's schedule, she would immediately think that it had something to do with Ivana.
"There's no need. We're getting food delivered." Luke looked at Tommy. He was grinning cheekily, as though telling him that he should not have lied.
However, he had to tell the lie. If he told Bianca his current location truthfully, she would definitely overthink and go crazy.
Bianca was too lazy to go to T Corporation anyway; it was quite far from Crawford Manor. She would not have said that if not that she had to pretend that she cared.
She was quite happy when Luke said that she need not go. "Alright then, come back soon." "Mm,” Luke replied and ended the call.
Tommy was grinning. "You shouldn't lie, Daddy." "I wouldn't need to tell a lie if not for your cravings," Luke said with a straight face.
"You only agreed to my suggestion because you also want to try Ms. Luca's cooking, don’t you?" Tommy said. He was smart enough to tell what his father was thinking.
"Don't tell anyone else what we did today," Luke said.
"I know!" Tommy also knew what was going on. He placed a finger in front of his lips and blinked. "This is a secret between me, Daddy, and Ms. Luca!"
Meanwhile, Luca was very busy in the kitchen.
Tommy was only a child, so he would not realize that her cooking tasted exactly like the previous Bianca's cooking.
However, Luke was not the same.
She realized that Luke had remembered Bianca’s mannerisms, so she had to change the way she cooked so that they did not taste the same as before.
Luca was doing all she could so that Luke did not suspect that she was the real Bianca.
She finished cooking one and a half hours later. After tasting the dishes and finding that they were different from before, she served the food on the dining table.
"That smells really good, Ms. Luca!" Tommy cheered.
Luca could not help but smile. "Let's eat. Go and wash your hands." "Yay!" Tommy held Luke's hand. "Wash your hands, Daddy!"
Luke nodded slightly. He shot a glance at the food on the table and realized that he was looking forward to eating it.
Her method of arranging things was the same as Bianca's. Would her cooking taste the same too?
Luke brought Tommy to the sink while Luca placed individual portions of food on different plates. She handed a child-sized plate to Tommy, then another plate to Luke.
"Thank you, Ms. Luca!" Tommy smiled brilliantly and began to shovel spaghetti into his mouth.
"Let's eat." Luca sat opposite him and glanced at Luke. "Won't you give it a try? If the food doesn't suit your tastes, I can fix it in the kitchen."
