Luca nodded in understanding and came downstairs with him.Nina was not there.She could not help but ask curiously, "Aunt Neile, is Nina not coming back for dinner tonight?"
Aunt Neile replied as she served the dishes, "Mrs. Mallory just called me. She said that she received an unexpected guest at thecompany, so she won't be coming back for dinner. She told us not to wait for her."
Luca did not think much about it, but Luke said, "Percy is back."
“Huh? Mr. Mallory is back?" Luca was surprised. "How do you know?"
"| guessed. You'll see later. Nina probably will come back tonight to pack her things and move out," replied Luke.It was more like a calculated guess rather than information leaked by Percy himself.
However, Percy had made it clear that he wanted to surprise Nina, so he asked Luke not to tell Luca to avoid any accidental slip-ups.novelbin
Therefore, Luke knew when Percy would return, but Nina did not.Luca did not know either because Luke had agreed to keep it a secret as per Percy's request...
"Well, that's good too. It saves Nina from thinking about him in her dreams. She's been eagerly awaiting the return of her lovedone." Luca chuckled. Nina was shy, so Luca would not joke like this in her presence.
However, Nina was not here now. Luca was happy at the thought of the couple's reunion, so she could not help but make thejoke.
Luke shook his head with a smile on his face.Tommy asked curiously, "Ms. Luca, what does eagerly awaiting the return of her loved one mean?"
"It's something only adults know. Stop being curious, Tommy," Lanie chimed in as he placed a bowl of soup in front of Tommy.The soup was in an insulated bowl. Even at Lanie’s age, he could handle it without getting burned.
Tommy stuck his tongue out at him and replied, "Something only adults know? | know you know it, but you just won't tell me."
Lanie ignored him and obediently served soup to Luke and Luca while explaining, "If it weren't for Tommy being so noisy, |would've served Daddy and Ms. Luca soup first."
After that, he served a bowl of soup to Rainie before finally putting the last bowl of soup on his spot.Aunt Neile, who was watching from the side, said, "Young Master Blanche is so thoughiful."
"Yes." Luca nodded. She took a sip of the soup, and her eyes brightened. "Aunt Neile, please save a bowl of this soup for Ninaand Mr. Mallory."
"Okay." Aunt Neile nodded. This was the medicinal soup she had prepared according to the recipe given by Luca. It was suitablefor everyone, from children to the elderly.
She thought that Luke and Luca must not have eaten well or slept well during their three-day business trip, and they might nothave had any nutritious soup there. When she knew they were coming back today, she prepared this medicinal soup.
Luca explained to Luke, "This soup is good for Nina and Mr. Mallory's health. Speaking of which, Nina has been taking care ofher health for some time now. After the wedding is over, they'll be able to have a child."
"In fact, they could start now," remarked Luke. After all, Nina and Luca were of the same age, and Luca was already a mother ofthree. However, there had been no news from Percy and Nina.
He knew that Percy was never fond of kids. Before he could figure out his own feelings, he never thought about having a childwith Nina.
Even if he had thought about it at that time, Nina would definitely not have agreed.However, things were different now. Percy knew what he wanted and what he liked. He was eager to have a child with Nina.
Luca shook her head. "But from what I've heard from Nina, she wants to wait until after the wedding, which is good too.Weddings are exhausting, and it's not the easiest for newly pregnant women. She shouldn't tire herself out in her first trimester."
"Hmm." Luke was not concerned about when Nina would bear a child. After all, it was something Percy should worry about, nothim.
They were done with the dinner. The kids had not finished their homework yet, so Luca sat on the couch and watched them.They could only watch cartoons after finishing their homework.
The kids must have missed her, and that was why they had not done their homework yet. She told them that they did not need topractice calligraphy today and that they would not need to make up for the missed practice tomorrow. They only needed to finishtheir homework to watch cartoons.
The three kids cheered. They were initially distracted by the thought of cartoons but were now focused on their homework.Only when their homework was completed could they watch cartoons!
After the three kids finished their homework, Luca turned on the TV for them to watch cartoons while she checked their work.While the cartoons were playing, Nina came back.
She was not alone. Percy was by her side.
Luca looked at the two of them, who had their fingers intertwined. Nina's face was adorned with a sweet smile. She was clearlysatisfied with their recent date.
Understanding the situation, Luca stopped herself from teasing Nina and asked her, "Are you moving back now?"
"Yes, he's back, and | don't want to disturb you guys anymore," replied Nina.
Luke was Percy's friend and their relationship was closer than typical brothers. Nina was also familiar with Luca. Even so, shestill felt uneasy about staying in someone else's house for such a long time.
Luca smiled and said, "Actually, you haven't been a bother. But since Mr. Mallory is back, | shouldn't keep you all to myselfanymore.
“By the way, Aunt Neile made soup today. It's good for your health. I've saved some for you. How about having it before youleave?"
"Okay." Percy understood what Luca meant by it being good for them and agreed before Nina could respond.
"I'll get it for you." Luca headed to the kitchen. She had asked Aunt Neile to leave early today because she had been tired fromhelping look after the kids lately.
After dinner was done and everything was tidied up, Luca let Aunt Neile go home.Luca placed the soup on the table, inviting Nina and Percy to have some.Nina took a sip and savored the taste. "It's good. I’m surprised there’s no medicinal taste."
“Aunt Neile followed the recipe. As long as you understand the properties of the herbs, the medicinal taste can easily beneutralized. This soup is good for your health. How about | send you the recipe?
"You just need to buy some good quality herbs from the herbal store and drink it once a week," suggested Luca.
