"Sit down. Let me get it for you," replied Luca. She did not put the snacks she made this morning at the usual spot where the children took their snacks.
Tommy nodded. He returned to the living room and sat on the sofa.
Rainie lifted her hand, tapped on Tommy's nose with her fingers, and laughed at him, "Tommy, you're a greedy little boy."
“I’m not. Ms. Luca makes good and tasty snacks.” Tommy stuck out his tongue.
“That’s true. Ms. Luca makes the best snacks.” Rainie nodded and agreed with him. She could not blame Tommy for being greedy. Their mother was too good at making their snacks.
Tommy nodded and replied, “Great-grandpa loves them too.”
“Tommy, I don’t like to eat snacks.” Old Master Crawford shook his head and explained.
“But Great-grandpa, I heard you telling Mr. Griffin that you like eating Ms. Luca’s homemade food. That’s why you came here to have a taste of Ms. Luca’s homemade food.” Tommy tilted his head. He had heard what the old master told Mr. Griffin when they were talking.
Besides, he heard it loud and clear.
“That’s not true,” denied Old Master Crawford with a stern expression on his face. He would be embarrassed if the kids knew that he was craving Luca’s homemade food.
“I heard it. Mr. Griffin asked you why you were coming here when Grandma had already left, and you told him that Ms. Luca’s homemade food tasted good. You wanted to have a few meals before going back home. After all, there wouldn’t be so many ignorant people coming to visit you this year.” Tommy shook his head and said everything he heard.
Old Master Crawford cleared his throat awkwardly. Although everyone there was his closest family member, he was the eldest in the family. He felt awkward about getting exposed by a junior.
However, that was indeed what the old master had said. Tommy said everything exactly as it was.
Old Master Crawford was ashamed to let his juniors know that he was craving Luca's homemade food.
"Luca's homemade food does taste good." One sentence from Luke broke the ice.
Lanie was smart. He gave Old Master Crawford an out too and said, “It’s great to be able to have Ms. Luca’s homemade food on the New Year.”
Old Master Crawford was happy to hear that and gave him a thumbs-up gesture.
Luca carried the snacks out of the kitchen. They did not intentionally lower their volume, which was why Luca had heard everything they said.
An indescribable blissful feeling aroused in her chest.
Luca placed the snacks on the coffee table and said, “Try these first. Let me make some juice for everyone.”
Luca knew the kids would be celebrating New Year here, hence she bought some fresh fruits through the new grocery delivery app she downloaded on her phone.
After all, the kids would need to take vitamins and supplements every day.
Luca returned to the kitchen. Rainie rose to her feet and said, “I’m going to help Ms. Luca.”
Tommy looked at the snacks greedily and picked up a cookie. However, he did not eat it first. He handed the cookie to Old Master Crawford instead. Then, he said, "Great-grandpa, you first."
Old Master Crawford took the cookie from Tommy and said happily, “Tommy, you’ve grown up. Good. Very good.”
“Of course. Daddy said I’m another year older after New Year. I have to be good and stop being naughty.” Tommy kept what Luke had told him in mind.
Old Master Crawford agreed with what Tommy said. He felt glad that the kids had grown up well.
Even though their mother was not by their side, the children had grown up healthily. They became more considerate as they grew up. They showed respect to the elders.
They did not become rebellious and undisciplined because they only had a father by their side.
Old Master Crawford felt thankful for that. The best gift Zachary had left for him in this world was his two children, Luke and Louis.
He was in the latter years of his life. Although his son was no longer by his side and his daughters-in-law were a mess, he was fortunate to have two good grandsons.
