Nicole felt bad to receive a handful of diamonds for nothing.
When she got back into the car, she sat in the backseat with Eric while Luca and the driver sat in the front.
Eric closed his eyes, but he was exuding a cold vibe. H e did not say a word.
Nicole suddenly remembered that Eric had asked her t o try out the dishes, yet she did not give any feedback.
She coughed slightly and said, "Actually, the chef of this restaurant is pretty good. The ingredients are definitely high quality. What do you think?"
Eric frowned slightly. His expression eased a little.
"Yeah, I'm glad you like it."
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she could not just eat a free meal for nothing and make him so angry in the process. Nicole looked at Luca through the rearview mirror.
"Luca, what do you think?"
Luca said, "It's just average. Looks nice but doesn't fill the stomach."
Nicole was speechless.
Eric glared at Luca coldly and felt stuffy in his chest.
"Get Toto to make some dinner for you then.”
'Toto?!' Luca pursed his lips. "That's not necessary."
Luca would rather starve to death than get annoyed by Toto’s incessant chattering.
Back at Imperial Gardens, the doctors who came to do a checkup on Eric had been waiting for a long time.
Toto happily chatted with them. The atmosphere was lively as several of them gathered around to play some games on their phones. They did not notice the sound of the car engine in the driveway.
Luca opened the door while Nicole pushed Eric inside.
The four people in the living room kept away their phones and stood up in an instant.
"Mr. Ferguson!"
Toto greeted him cheerfully.
"Ms. Stanton, Mr. Ferguson, you’re finally back! I was worried that the dinner will affect your beauty sleep, s o I made some floral tea that'll help with digestion."
He went forward to take Nicole's shoes while recommending his homemade tea.
Seeing Eric's glum face and cold gaze, the three male doctors felt inexplicably nervous and stiff.
