Only after Wanda had called attention to herself did the two old masters who were playing chess realize that Luca was here.
Old Master Crawford was all smiles as he watched Luca sit down. He said, “Luca, what brings you here? Did you purposely come over to visit me because you knew I was here?”
Old Man Rayne immediately waved his hand and said with a straight face, “I’ve seen my fair share of shameless people, yet I’ve never met anyone as shameless as you. Of course, Luca came here to visit me. Isn’t that right, Luca?”
After saying that, he looked at Luca with all smiles as well.
Luca did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw the two old masters behave like mischievous children. She put down the tray in her hands on the coffee table and said, “Old Masters, would you care to try my creations?”
The aroma of the cookies on the coffee table smelled amazing. Old Master Crawford could not help but drool a little. “Luca, of course, I know how good your cooking skills are. That boy, Tommy, thinks about the food you make every day.”
Luca froze. The old master’s slip-ups might actually reveal some information.
Sure enough, Wanda asked in confusion, “Tommy?”
Old Master Crawford glanced at Luca and realized that he had said too much, but his demeanor remained calm. “Before this, the child threw a tantrum and ran away from home. He happened to be picked up by Luca and she brought him home.”
“I didn’t even know this happened.” Old Man Rayne sat on the sofa with the help of Wanda.
Luca’s eyes lit up. “Old Master Rayne, you can walk now.”
“That’s right. After your treatment, my joints don’t hurt that much anymore. I can walk a few steps with Wanda’s help. It’s all thanks to your medicine, Luca,” Old Master Rayne said delightfully. In fact, he had only started trying to walk in the past few days. He had gotten much better compared to before.
He knew that he was getting old and it would be difficult for him to return to his old self, so he was satisfied to even be able to reach this point.
Old Master Crawford sat on the sofa and praised her as well, “Luca is so capable. Let me try this cookie to see if it’s really as delicious as they say it is.”
While saying that, he picked up a cookie and tasted it.
The cookies were delicious. They were crispy, and they instantly melted in his mouth. They were suitable for elderly people with bad teeth. He gave a huge thumbs up. “Yummy. It’s the first time I’ve had such delicious cookies.”
“Really? I want to try them too.” Old Master Rayne took a piece, and after tasting it, he could not resist reaching for a second one. “They really are delicious.”
After seeing how much the two old masters liked the snacks, Wanda placed each of their teacups in front of them and admonished, “Dad, no matter how delicious they are, you can’t have too much. You need to control your blood sugar.”
“These cookies are better than store-bought ones. You really are good, Luca.” Old Man Rayne complimented her and thought of Bianca. That girl used to love making such pastries in the kitchen too.
Luca smiled and said, “Old Man Rayne, you can eat to your heart’s content. I’ve replaced the sugar in the cookies and cupcakes with xylitol, so your blood sugar won’t spike after eating it.”
She knew that Old Man Rayne still had high blood sugar, so when making them, she specifically rummaged through the cupboards to find xylitol.
“Brilliant. It seems like I can eat my fill today.” Old Man Rayne took a sip of tea, while Old Master Crawford had already picked up the cupcake on the side. He took a bite.
Luca listened as he praised her, “It’s so good.”
Wanda watched as the two old master’s minds were no longer on chess but completely on tasting the snacks. She picked up a piece and ate it too.
It was indeed delicious, and it tasted even better than the ones made in bakeries.
Old Man Rayne always had a sweet tooth, and since Luca made these with sugar substitutes, he could have as much as he wanted and still feel at ease.
