Female Novel
Chapter 2159
Only after Wanda had called attention to herself did the two old masters who were playing chessrealize that Luca was here.
Old Master Crawford was all smiles as he watched Luca sit down. He said, “Luca, what brings youhere? Did you purposely come over to visit me because you knew I was here?"
Old Man Rayne immediately waved his hand and said with a straight face, "I've seen my fair share ofshameless people, yet I've never met anyone as shameless as you. Of course, Luca came here to visitme. Isn't that right, Luca?"
After saying that, he looked at Luca with all smiles as well.
Luca did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw the two old masters behave like mischievouschildren. She put down the tray in her hands on the coffee table and said, "Old Masters, would you careto try my creations?"
The aroma of the cookies on the coffee table smelled amazing. Old Master Crawford could not help butdrool a little. "Luca, of course, I know how good your cooking skills are. That boy, Tommy, thinks aboutthe food you make every day."
Luca froze. The old master's slip-ups might actually reveal some information.
Sure enough, Wanda asked in confusion, "Tommy?"
Old Master Crawford glanced at Luca and realized that he had said too much, but his demeanorremained calm. "Before this, the child threw a tantrum and ran away from home. He happened to bepicked up by Luca and she brought him home."
"I didn't even know this happened." Old Man Rayne sat on the sofa with the help of Wanda.
Luca's eyes lit up. "Old Master Rayne, you can walk now."
"That's right. After your treatment, my joints don't hurt that much anymore. I can walk a few steps withWanda's help. It's all thanks to your medicine, Luca," Old Master Rayne said delightfully. In fact, he hadonly started trying to walk in the past few days. He had gotten much better compared to before.
He knew that he was getting old and it would be difficult for him to return to his old self, so he wassatisfied to even be able to reach this point.
Old Master Crawford sat on the sofa and praised her as well, "Luca is so capable. Let me try thiscookie to see if it's really as delicious as they say it is."
While saying that, he picked up a cookie and tasted it.
The cookies were delicious. They were crispy, and they instantly melted in his mouth. They weresuitable for elderly people with bad teeth. He gave a huge thumbs up. “Yummy. It's the first time I'vehad such delicious cookies." "Really? I want to try them too." Old Master Rayne took a piece, and aftertasting it, he could not resist reaching for a second one. "They really are delicious."
After seeing how much the two old masters liked the snacks, Wanda placed each of their teacups infront of them and admonished, "Dad, no matter how delicious they are, you can't have too much. Youneed to control your blood sugar."
"These cookies are better than store-bought ones. You really are good, Luca." Old Man Raynecomplimented her and thought of Bianca. That girl used to love making such pastries in the kitchen too.
Luca smiled and said, "Old Man Rayne, you can eat to your heart's content. I've replaced the sugar inthe cookies and cupcakes with xylitol, so your blood sugar won't spike after eating it."
She knew that Old Man Rayne still had high blood sugar, so when making them, she specificallyrummaged through the cupboards to find xylitol.
"Brilliant. It seems like I can eat my fill today." Old Man Rayne took a sip of tea, while Old MasterCrawford had already picked up the cupcake on the side. He took a bite.
Luca listened as he praised her, "It's so good."
Wanda watched as the two old master's minds were no longer on chess but completely on tasting thesnacks. She picked up a piece and ate it too.
It was indeed delicious, and it tasted even better than the ones made in bakeries.
Old Man Rayne always had a sweet tooth, and since Luca made these with sugar substitutes, he couldhave as much as he wanted and still feel at ease.novelbin
"Luca, don't just sit there. Come and have some too," said Old Master Crawford after he saw that shehad not moved.
Luca nodded and picked up a cookie. She had specifically modified the recipe to make it easier to eatfor people with bad teeth.
The four of them sipped tea while eating the snacks Luca made. As Luca listened to the two oldmasters bicker, happiness emerged in her heart.
Old Master Crawford used to bicker with her grandpa like this too.
This scene was like in the past as if nothing had changed.
On the other hand.
After Nina left the Rayne family's house, she did not run into Jean and Marie. She guessed that theycame in a taxi and left in one too.
She got into the car and was about to go to Jean's house.
Before she could even start her car, she received a call from Sue.
"Nina, is the problem solved?" Sue said with concern.
"It's solved for the time being, all thanks to Luca..." Nina's voice was filled with powerlessness.
She really did not know what to do with Jean. If not for Anna, she would rather have Jean be in thedetention center to repent and not create trouble for himself and others.
"Luca solved it.." Sue was a little shocked.
Nina briefly relayed the matter to her and said, “It was all thanks to Luca. If not, I would have called thepolice."
What had she gone through to be willing to have the police arrest her own brother?
Sue comforted her and said, "Well, it's finally settled, so cheer up."
"Sue, have you ever felt that Luca is like a certain someone?" said Nina suddenly. After everythingLuca had done, especially when she protected her, Nina would feel as though Luca was someone shewas very familiar with.
However, the two people looked different.
"I've always had that feeling but Bianca and Luca are two very different people," said Sue as Luca alsoreminded her of Bianca.
However, Luca was not Bianca.
"I feel the same way. That feeling is too familiar." Nina sighed and added, "Let's not talk about it now.I'm going to get even with Jean."
"If you're trying to get even with him, be careful. Do you need Percy to accompany you?" Sue wasworried that Jean would hurt Nina after everything that happened. Although Jean did not have muchinvolvement with her, she could still tell that Jean was inhumane.
"There's no need to alarm him over such a small matter. Plus, Jean wouldn't dare to lay a finger on menow," Nina was telling the truth. Although Jean was upset with her now, for the sake of his future, hewould not dare do anything to hurt her.
The fact that Jean was idle was because he had made up his mind to depend on Percy. The personPercy loved was her, so even if Jean did not care about their kinship, he would still care about Percy.
"Still, be careful. Jean has been brainwashed by Marie, and that woman is a total nutjob. Her dirtytactics have made him repeatedly fall into her hands, which means that she can easily trick people andshe holds grudges. You'd better watch out," Sue felt uneasy.
They had all seen what Marie could do.
