Gale was only in charge of investigating. He was not the one who had the final say on things, so Gale did not say anything more.
Luke closed the documents and placed them in the drawer.
"Have you had breakfast?" he asked.
Gale was surprised yet delighted. 'For the first time, my boss is kind enough to be concerned about me and asked whether I've had breakfast!'
"I've not eaten." He came over early in the morning just to report the information he had found to Luke. Hence, he had not eaten his breakfast.
"Stay for breakfast, then." Luke maneuvered his wheelchair and headed out.
"Alright, Mr. Crawford," Gale promised. He had heard in the past that Luca was very good at cooking. She had entered the kitchen today, so she was definitely preparing breakfast. He did not expect there would come a day for him to try the breakfast prepared by Luca.
Luke suddenly stopped and turned around to look at him.
"Yes, Mr. Crawford?" Gale touched his face. He did not say anything and wondered why would Luke suddenly look at him with a stern look.
"Stop looking at Luca with that weird gaze of yours." After Luke said that, he then maneuvered the wheelchair out of the room.
Gale suddenly came to an understanding. It seemed he was unhappy about him staring at Luca.
It was just because he was inwardly comparing the former Bianca to the current Luca. Besides, even if he did have any ulterior motives for Luca, it was to challenge her to a fight.
He had heard that her agility was very impressive. Original from .
However, whether or not he would win the match, just the fact that a man took on a woman was not something to be proud of. That was why Gale merely thought about it.
The maid placed the breakfast prepared by Luca on the table. Seeing Luke come out, she greeted him with a smile, "Sir, breakfast is ready."
"Alright." Luke looked at the cutleries placed on the dining table. There were four sets. It seemed that Luca had predicted that Gale would join as well.
Luca brought the bread out of the kitchen and placed it on the dining table. She saw Luke and Gale. She said softly, "Breakfast is ready. You guys may tuck in now."
Luke nodded and came to the side of the dining table.
Gale had just been warned. He lowered his head and dared not look at Luca in case his boss became suspicious again. If that happened, he would not live a peaceful life.
Luke looked at Gale, who was standing beside him like an electric pole. He whispered, "Why are you standing there? Sit down."
Gale replied and chose to sit beside him.
Luca and the maid served the remaining breakfast. She prepared a lot because she had anticipated there would be a guest, hence she made sure to be hospitable.
Gale looked at the table full of Western cuisine and silently lamented about how blissful Luke's life was.
His wife was so good at cooking. It was awesome!
Luca looked at the seats. It would seem inappropriate if she were to sit beside Gale, so she chose to sit on the other side of Luke.
"What do you want to eat, Mr. Crawford? I'll get it for you," she said.
"No need. I'll get it myself." Like stretched his hand and took the bread that was nearest to him. Then, he got himself a fried egg.
Luca saw the scene and took a bowl of oats, placing it before him.
Luke disliked eating sweet food. Hence, she had made savory oats.
Gale took a slice of bread and ate silently. He felt sorry looking at them both. Even though they had yet to acknowledge each other, they were still thinking about one another.
It was no wonder that after so many years and despite Luke being pestered by crazy women in the past, Luke never once gave up on Luca.
If Gale had such a lover, he would not give up either—even if he learned that she might be a threat to him after her return.
Gale finished the slice of bread that he took and could not help but say, "This bread is delicious. Which bakery did you buy from?"
The maid explained, "All of these were personally made by Ms. Luca."
"She made everything herself? No wonder, the bread is so delicious and looks amazing. I thought you bought it from a shop outside," said Gale. The bread was nicely-shaped, and the size was consistent. One look and they looked like they were manufactured by a robot.
"You've misunderstood. The slices of bread were bought in the supermarket. Of course, the original flavor of the bread isn't this delicious. Ms. Luca added some seasonings to it and placed it back in the oven to bake it again. That's why the bread tastes so good," the maid explained.
Gale gave a thumbs up. No wonder it was so delicious!
If he had such delicious breakfasts every day, he would still like it even if he was served the same thing.
"You live such a happy life, Mr. Crawford," said Gale.
"Even with so much food here, it still can't shut your mouth?" Luke looked at him coldly.
Gale quickly shut his mouth.
The maid served him a bowl of oats. "Dear guest, please taste the oats. It's delicious too."
Gale took a sip and dared not say a word. He only showed Luca a thumbs up.
He finally understood why Jason had described her food to be heavenly.
If Rain knew that he was having a such delicious breakfast today, she would definitely be jealous.
After having breakfast, Gale did not stay back and left.
The maid cleaned up the dishes. Initially, Luca wanted to send Gale off, but she heard Luke say, "Don't bother. He'll leave and close the door himself."
Luca's footsteps came to a halt, and she stopped at the entrance.
Gale put on a wide smile. "Thanks for the hospitality, Dr. Craw. You don't have to send me off."
"Alright." Luca turned around and entered the house again.
Luke looked at her and asked, "Where's my medication?"
Only then did Luca remember that she had yet to prepare Luke's medication. She quickly said, "I'll go prepare your medicine for you right now."
"Send it to the bedroom." After Luke spoke, he maneuvered his wheelchair and entered the maid's room.
Luca walked into the kitchen and took out the cup that was exclusively Luke's. She was going to pour him a cup of water and adjust the temperature so that it was suitable for drinking.
The maid saw this and asked, "Are these the medications that Mr. Crawford needs to take?"
"Yes. I was busy preparing food and nearly forgot about this,” said Luca as she poured in equal parts cold water and hot boiling water.
If it were in the past, she would have already prepared a cup of hot boiling water while preparing breakfast and placed it aside. After having breakfast, the water would have already cooled down.
That day, she was too busy that she forgot about it.
She held the cup and felt that the temperature was just nice. It was slightly warm and would be just nice to drink it with the medications.
Luca held the cup of water and arrived in the living room. She took out Luke's medications, and after sorting the pills, she brought them and the cup of water into the maid's room.
Luke was already sitting in front of the office table. He was working.
Luca placed the medications and cup of water on the table while reminding him, "It's time to take your medicine, Mr. Crawford."
Luke lifted his head to look at her, then looked at the cup and medications. It was just like in the past. He did not blink his eyes and immediately stuffed the pills into his mouth and gulped a huge mouthful of water.
Luca saw this. Each time, she would think that since the medicine was so bitter, it would be better to just endure the bitterness once than twice.
Luke placed the cup down. Luca immediately took it and walked out.
After placing the cup back into the kitchen, Luca reminded the maid, "I'm going upstairs to work on some stuff. If Mr. Doyle is here later, can you please come upstairs to notify me?"
