“Congratulations, Ms. Nina." Kari and Teri wished Nina after Sue wished her. Sue had taught them to do so before they went out.
"How thoughtful and adorable you two little cutie pies are. I'd really like to bring you back home for a few days." Nina smiled and stroked Kari's head. The child was sitting beside her.
Luca looked at the engagement gift and smiled. "Congratulations, Nina. I wish you all the love and happiness."
"Thank you," replied Nina. Although Luca was not as talkative as Sue was, she knew Luca's wish was sincere and true.
One could not define a person's sincerity by how many words were spoken.
Teri, who was sitting beside Sue, saw the engagement gift Sue was holding and said, "Mommy, I'd like to eat the candy."
"We're having lunch soon. Is it alright if you eat it after lunch?" Sue discussed this with her daughter with a gentle voice.
"No, I want to eat it now. It looks yummy." Teri was greedy. She looked at the candy and acted cutely in front of Sue as she asked for the yummy-looking candy.
Sue was about to speak when Kari said, "Sis, you won't want to eat lunch anymore after eating the candy. Let's eat our lunch first, then we can have the candy."
Teri listened to her sister and rolled her eyes. Then, she nodded and said, "Okay. Mommy, I want candy after lunch."
"Sure. You can have the candy after lunch." Sue stroked Teri's head and looked at Nina and Luca with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry. The kids are greedy."
Nina smiled and replied, "It's nothing. Isn't it normal that kids love to eat candy? I chose the candies for the engagement gift. They're the kids' favorite candies. Luca, I put more candies in yours so that the three children can have them." Original from .
Sue was not surprised when she heard what Nina said. After all, she knew that Luca was staying in Luke's villa too.
Luca looked at the gift she was holding and smiled. It seemed like Sue and Nina had accepted the fact that she was staying together with Luke.
If it were in the past, Luca could tell them that she was only staying in the same house as Luke and that nothing was going on between them without feeling guilty.
However, Luca could not say that anymore after what had happened last night. The more she explained it, the guiltier she felt.
Although they did not take things to the next level, they almost did everything they could have done on the bed.
“Tommy loves eating candies now," said Luca. She placed the gift aside and handed the bags she carried to the two of them. "These are the souvenirs I bought for you."
Nina took the bag from her and said exaggeratedly, "I thought you bought souvenirs for Kari and Teri. I didn't expect to receive gifts!"
"Yeah. I bought them when I went to Russia for work. But I didn't have the time to deliver them to you. And I know you don't need anything, so I bought these for you. I hope you like them," said Luca. Then,
she handed another bag to Sue and said, "There are three gifts in here. Yours, Kari's, and Teri's."
Sue took the bag from Luca and instructed her two daughters, "What should you say when Ms. Luca gives you something?"
Kari and Teri said at the same time, "Thank you, Ms. Luca."
"Don't mention it." Luca picked up her cup and took a sip of the tea.
Nina peeped in the bag and realized it was a set of skincare producers. It was the brand that she had always been using. She had been using this brand for more than ten years, and she started using it when she was a teenager. She had always loved this brand, so she never changed.
"Oh my goodness. Luca, you're amazing. I've always been using this brand of skincare products. And you actually bought me the same brand. It's the perfect gift," Nina could not help but compliment her.
Nina liked gifts that were practical and useful.
What Luca gave her was practical, and it was the brand she had been using.
"Really? I'm glad you like it." Luca took another sip of tea.
"Of course, I like it, but how did you know I've been using this brand?" Nina asked. Although she had known Luca for some time, they had never discussed things as other bosom friends did. They never talked about what kind of skincare products or makeup products they used. They had never talked about luxury goods either.
"I saw the products, so I just bought them. It's a famous skincare brand. Many love this brand. Besides, your skin type suits this brand too. I didn't expect you to like this brand. What a coincidence," Luca smiled and said.
Nina shook her head and replied, "I think you're just sharp. Sue, take a look at your gift. I think Luca's been secretly watching us live our lives from behind."
"That's dramatic." Luca did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard Nina say so. However, there was no way she could tell them she knew what brand of skincare products they used.
Sue was curious after listening to what Nina said. She wanted to know if Luca could pick the perfect gift for her too. Sue picked up one of the boxes in the bag. It was wrapped nicely in a gift wrapper, and she did not know what was inside.
Luca explained when she noticed the puzzled look on Sue's face. "The wrapped boxes are Barbie dolls. The shop assistant took the initiative to help me to wrap them when she knew I was buying them as gifts." "How considerate." Sue did not open the boxes and spoke to her daughters instead, "These are the Barbie dolls Ms. Luca bought for you. You're only allowed to open them when we're home."
Kan's and Teri's eyes brightened up when they heard that the gifts were Barbie dolls, then they looked at Luca and thanked her again, "Thank you, Ms. Luca. We like it."
They were really twins. They even said the same thing.
The last gift belonged to Sue. She had the same reaction when she saw a set of skincare products. “I usually use this skincare brand too. Luca, I'd truly suspect that you sent someone to investigate what skincare products we're using if I didn't know you're so busy with work.”
“Well, I bought these according to your skin type. These two sets of skincare products are ranked the best in the world for your skin types. That's why I bought them for you," Luca replied hurriedly.
"But there are many skincare products that suit our skin type too. Other famous brands also have the same products. You could actually pick the skincare products we usually use based on our skin type.
This is crazy," Nina complimented. She was secretly thinking that Luca must have done her homework.
However, how did she find out what kind of skincare products were Nina and Sue using?
Did Mr. Doyle and Percy tell her?
Still, the two of them were the insensitive type of men. They would not know what skincare products Nina and Sue were using. Hence, they would not notice the brand they used as well.
Even though Nina was not sure if Jason was that kind of person, she knew Percy very well.
If she asked Percy to get her skincare products, he would send the photos to his assistant and ask him to get them for her. He did not understand what the skincare products were used for.
“I guess I happened to be lucky enough," replied Luca. She picked up the menu beside her and said. "Let's order now. Kari and Teri must be hungry."
