Chapter 380
Laura livened up the atmosphere, saying, “Don’t just focus on eating these
dishes. We still have plenty of ingredients for grilling. Let’s start grilling and enjoying them.”

Lucas: [I think he’s probably chatting with his wife.]

can only spend Christmas with us. He must be missing his wife who is far
