Chapter 2839
Kastov nodded along with to words and said, "Though I'm busy, I can prioritize helping with it if it's Mr.Matysh's matter."
Ethan's anger surged.
Even if Kastov was capable of such things, he dared not to use anyone who worked for Marcos, asMatysh had warned him to be cautious of Marcos and his men.
When Ethan sensed the sudden change in Marcos' tone, he pointed at his bottle and said, "If OldMaster Abaza finds out you're partying and drinking in A City, how will you explain it to him when yougo back?"
"Am I not just having a drink?" Kastov could not stand Ethan using his Russian connections to assertdominance. He took the drink from Marcos' hand and said, "Mr. Matysh also indulges in quite a bit ofalcohol, doesn't he?"
Ethan's face grew darker and darker.
"Isn't there an old saying that goes—what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander? Does that notwork in Russian too? Besides, if Mr. Matysh doesn't want Mr. Marcos involved in this matter, thenhaving a drink shouldn't hinder Mr. Matysh's affairs, right?" Kastov was usually a quiet person, butwhen it came to discussing his work or anything related to the Island of Despair, he became moretalkative.
Today, he could not help but lash out at Ethan, finding his demeanor unpleasant and his wordsoffensive.
Ethan let out a cold snort, threatening Marcos, "I'll tell the old master everything you've been doing inCity A."
"Hah." Kastov sneered, finding his words utterly meaningless. Ethan was acting like a little schoolboy,tattling on others. What was the point of doing this?
Marcos paid no attention to it. Ethan had been reporting his situation to the old master for the past fewdays. Adding one more thing about him drinking and having fun during Matysh's imprisonment wouldnot be a problem.
Marcos said to Kastov, "Let's go inside and have a drink."
The two of them walked into the suite and closed the door in front of Ethan.
There was a loud bang. Ethan frowned. Marcos was not easy to manipulate. If the Russian familyfound out about this, he would face the consequences when he returned!
Kastov picked up the wine opener and uncorked the bottle.
"Why are you suddenly craving a drink?" asked Kastov.
"Something good happened,” answered Marcos as he took out two tall glasses from the cabinet andplaced them on the table.
Kastov poured the red wine into the glasses. "Something good? You found your birth mother?"
There was a hint of doubt in his words. After all, Marcos had not made any progress for the past fewdays. How could he have suddenly found her all of a sudden?
"Yes. Even though the situation isn't ideal, I finally found her. She's in the hospital now. I'll go and meether once her condition is better." Marcos did not hide anything. Kastov was his trusted partner,someone he could absolutely rely on.
There were no conflicts of interest between them, making them the best of partners.
"Congratulations." Kastov raised his glass and clinked it with Marcos'. He genuinely felt happy forMarcos. It was great. At least he had found his mother.
"Well, it's thanks to Mr. Crawford," Marcos took a sip of his drink. Luke and Luca's kindness wassomething he would remember for a lifetime.
He also knew that if it were not for Luca, he would be an orphan by now.
He would be truly orphaned with no father or mother...
It was Saturday the following day.
The kids were coming back to the villa. Luca woke up early and was busy preparing food in the kitchenwith Aunt Neile.
Aunt Neile was preparing breakfast while Luca was preparing some soup to take to the hospital andsnacks for the children.
The children already had cookies just the night before, and Luca was worried they might get a sorethroat from eating too many cookies. Hence, she decided to make milk cube candies as their snack.
Milk cube candies were made from almond nuts mixed with butter, marshmallows, and powdered milk.After heating the mixture, they were formed into little milk candies.
These sweet little treats were both healthy and delicious. Luca believed the children would surely lovethem.novelbin
She had already done the preparations and was now shaping the candy into small pieces.
Aunt Neile looked at the white, delicate milk cube candies. She could not help but praise, "Ms. Craw,you're really good at this. These milk cube candies look so exquisite. The kids will definitely love them."
Luca smiled faintly. This was her first time making these for the children.
Not only did children enjoy these milk cube candies, but adults liked them too. She placed the finelyshaped milk cubes into separate packaging and then picked up the sealer to seal the packages. Then,she said, "Aunt Neile, remember to take some home for your grandson when you get off work tonight."
"It's okay, Ms. Craw. I'll leave these for the kids to enjoy." Aunt Neile had been taking care of Lanie,Rainie, and Tommy for so many years. She knew their taste preferences well.
Sweet and sticky things were not to Lanie's liking, but Luca did not add a lot of sugar to it. Therefore,she believed all three of them would enjoy them.
If she took some away, the kids would not have enough to eat.
Aunt Neile thought it was not acceptable.
"I made extra. Although they're made in a healthy way, it's not good for the children to eat too many ofthem. I'll pack some for you later. Remember to take them with you when you go home," replied Luca.She made enough for the three children and Aunt Neile's grandchild as well.
Luca still remembered Aunt Neile's grandson. He was a well-behaved child with a good temperament.He never caused trouble or made a lot of noise. He was quite likable.
Aunt Neile smiled shyly at her words. "Thank you, Ms. Craw."
"You don't have to thank me, Aunt Neile. These things aren't that valuable at all," said Luca. Theingredients for these milk cube candies were indeed not expensive.
She felt that anyone could make these snacks. They were not valuable at all.
The raw materials for these things were relatively cheap, and they could bring joy to children. Hence,she was willing to make more to make her adorable children happy.
"But this is your heartfelt gesture." Aunt Neile finished preparing breakfast. She washed her hands, puton kitchen gloves, and helped Luca to pack the milk cube candies into separate bags.
Luca focused on sealing and organizing the small bags.
After a while, Luca finished packing all the milk cube candies.
She took a brown paper bag and grabbed a handful of milk cube candies. Then, she thought there wasnot enough, so she grabbed another handful and filled the bag to the brim before handing it to AuntNeile. "Aunt Neile, these are for your grandson."
"Ms. Craw, it's too much. The child doesn't need so much." Aunt Neile was pleasantly surprised. Shewas delighted by anything that could please her grandson.
However, Luca had given her too much, and she felt a little uneasy. Although the Crawford family wasalways generous to their subordinates, Luca was not a member of the Crawford family.
However, Aunt Neile did not want to dwell too much on the matters of her master's family.
"It's not much. Look, there are still so many left on the tray." Luca pointed at the tray. The ones on thetray were enough for the children to eat.
"Ms. Craw, on behalf of my grandson, I'd like to thank you." Aunt Neile had no choice but to accept it,thinking that her precious grandson would be overjoyed when she went home tonight.
Kids loved to eat snacks. The milk cube candies sold outside were quite expensive. Her son anddaughter-in-law usually would not buy them for her grandson.
Now, she could bring this bag of milk cube candies home. When the child saw it, he would definitelydance with excitement.
