Chapter 2200 Could Not Stand Him Being Cold To Her

Marcos looked at the yard in front of him. He had no idea if this was the farmhouse restaurant that

her mother had told him about before.

“I'm looking forward to it after all those things you've told me,” said Marcos.

“Let's go in. I've reserved a private room. It won't be too noisy,” replied Tina. She pushed the door

open and invited them

Marcos said gentlemanly, “Ladies first.”

Luca did not delay any longer and stepped into the restaurant first. Andy was holding the door,

signaling Tina to enter the restaurant first.

Tina knew they were gentlemen, so she did not say a word and followed behind Luca. After the two

ladies entered the restaurant, Marcos stepped into the restaurant.

Tina was close with the owner of the restaurant here. That was why she was able to reserve a private

room at the last minute. The female owner came up and led the way when she saw Tina. She

brought the four of them to the private room.

The private room was nicely decorated. There were barely any green plants growing in A City as it

was still the winter season. Hence, the green plants in the room were fake, but that did not affect

the unique design of the interior.

There was an indoor water fountain in the room, surrounded by stalks of bamboo. It made them

feel like they were in an idyllic and beautiful paradise.

The female owner asked Tina after she served them tea, “You brought foreign friends this time, Ms.

Tina. I don't know how to speak other languages, so I might need your help translating what they

say.”

“No problem,” replied Tina.

“Does everyone eat spicy food?” The female owner asked while holding a menu, but she did not

hand the menu to them.

Tina had dined with Luca several times before, and she knew Luca could handle spicy food. Hence,

she did not ask Luca and just asked Marcos, “Mr. Marcos, Mr. Andy, are you able to handle spicy

food?”

“Yes,” Andy nodded, and he added, “Boss can take spicy food too.”

“Everyone can take spicy food, and the budget is exactly how much I told you the last time,” replied

Tina after getting their answers.

The female owner gave them a warm smile and replied, “Okay. Let me prepare your dishes now.

One moment, please.”

Although Marcos could not understand what she said, he could briefly understand what the female

owner was talking about from her hand gestures. He asked Tina with curiosity, “Arent we going to

order?”

Tina smiled, shook her head, and explained, "The ingredients for restaurants like these usually come

from the owner's farm. The owner of this restaurant owns a farm too, but it's located in the suburbs.

Fresh ingredients are delivered here every morning, but there are different ingredients throughout

the year and it depends on the seasons too. Besides, the ingredients delivered might not be the

same every day. That's why the farmhouse restaurant doesn't have a fixed menu. The owner will

prepare random dishes for the customers based on the ingredients they get every day. They only

have to figure out if we can take spicy food and our budget. Then, the owner will prepare the dishes

for us."

Luca added, “Authentic local foods are usually done like this. The dishes served will taste good as

they use fresh and organic ingredients. They won't look for suppliers who can supply a lot of

ingredients for them like the restaurants in the city. That's why it's normal to run their business this

way.”

“I see. I've learned something new today,” said Marcos. He nodded, thinking that it was quite

interesting to him. Then, he turned to look at Luca and asked, “Ms. Craw, are there any updates

from Mr. Crawford lately?”

“Mr. Crawford is busy with the acquisition project. We haven't received any news that he’s coming

back soon.” Luca thought Marcos was asking when Luke would be back. After all, there were certain

things he had to discuss with Luke.

Luca and Tina were only here to entertain him. They could not decide anything on behalf of the

company.

“Well, I guess he'll be back soon,” Marcos said thoughtfully. Matysh would be traveling to A City

soon if Luke was not coming back yet. Something might happen to Luca by the time Luke arrived.

Andy, who was sitting beside him, heard the conversation between them. He was secretly hoping

that Luke would not return so soon.

"Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Mr. Crawford wouldn't mention his work progress to us.” Luca

smiled.

Tina went along and asked, “Mr. Marcos, do you intend to meet our boss?”

“No. I'm just asking. But I have a favor to ask him when he’s back here,” said Marcos.

The sun had gone down after the four of them finished their dinner. Marcos was different from

other guests. He did not enjoy the nightlife, and that was why he rejected Tina's offer when she

made arrangements for him on the first day.

Hence, Tina canceled all the arrangements for his nighttime entertainment.

Lliam was responsible for sending Marcos and Andy back to the hotel, while Luca and Tina hailed a

ride back home.

"Dr. Craw, we're supposed to go back to work as usual tomorrow, right?” Tina asked.

"Yes. Let's go back to the office tomorrow. Oh, although Mr. Marcos told us that he'll explain it to

Mr. Crawford, it'll be better if you inform him too,” replied Luca. She was not planning to contact

Luke.

After the intimacy they shared that night, she felt that she could not stand Luke being cold to her if

she contacted him now.

Everything was fine when he departed. He even told her where he was, but it ended up becoming

nothing.

Luca shook her head. She felt layers of unsettling emotions in her at the thought of this, and she

refused to think about it anymore.

Although Tina wondered why Luca did not take the initiative to contact Luke, she agreed to it since

Luca mentioned it to her. Then, she replied, “Okay. I'll inform Mr. Crawford later. The taxi is here. Dr.

Craw, hop in.”

“It's okay. Aren't you feeling cold?” Luca noticed that Tina was shivering when she came out of the

farmhouse restaurant. It was obvious that Tina was feeling cold.

“I'll be fine.” Tina shook her head, thinking of letting Luca take the taxi.

Luca stopped the car, opened the door, and said to Tina, “Come on. Get in.”

“But...” Before Tina could say anything, Luca noticed that there was another empty taxi coming in

their direction from behind. She said, “There's another taxi coming. Hurry up.”

Tina turned around and glanced at it. There was indeed an empty taxi. She bent down and got into

the car without saying a word.

Luca stopped the taxi behind, slipped into the car, and left.

The kids already had their dinner after Luca arrived home. They were sitting on the sofa watching

TV.

Luca took off her coat, walked toward them, and sat down.

The kids’ attention had always been on the TV, and they exclaimed with surprise when they saw

Luca, “Ms. Luca, you're back!"

The three of them said in unison, and Tommy's voice sounded the happiest.

"Yes. Have you finished your homework?" Luca was concerned about their homework. After all, it

would be hard for the kids to explain to their teachers if she did not check their homework and

leave Luke's signature on it.

"Yes. We've finished our homework!” The kids replied as they took their books out of their school

bags.

"Okay. Leave it on the coffee table. I'm going to check Lanie’s homework first. You can continue to

watch your cartoon show. After that, take a shower and get ready for bed,” said Luca.

"Okay." Lanie handed his book to Luca, while Rainie and Tommy left their books on the coffee table.

The kids were smart. They seldom made mistakes when they were answering the questions. Luca

picked up Rainie’s book as soon as she finished checking Lanie's homework. Lanie and Rainie's

homework was the same, so Luca was able to go through it quickly.

Lanie and Rainie answered all the questions correctly, and Luca signed the signature on the last

page.
