Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2449

Luca heard what Luke said and turned to look at him. Her heart skipped a beat as she asked, “Mr. Crawford, are you going to scope out the location tomorrow?”

"Yes. I'll try my best to come up with a design," said Luke as he spread a layer of BBQ sauce on the grilled meat.

"Do you mind taking me along with you when you're going there? I'm interested in such things," said Luca. Although she had learned many things over the past few years, it seemed like architectural design was still her favorite.

She would like to participate in the process of designing the ancestral hall.

Even though she could not show that she knew architectural design in front of Luke, at least she could show that she was interested in it.

“Sure.” Luke agreed to it. Then, he turned around to look at Percy and Nina, “Mrs. Mallory, do you have any plans tomorrow?”

Luke addressing Nina as ‘Mrs. Mallory’ made Nina’s face turn red again. It took a while for the redness on her cheek to go away.

Although she had already registered her marriage with Percy, it was her first time hearing someone calling her like that.

Not to mention that it was Luke…

“Mr. Crawford, stop teasing me. You can call me by my name,” Nina quickly replied.

“No way. Mrs. Mallory sounds good. That’s what he’ll call you in the future. It’s pleasing to the ears,” Percy continued.

Nina gently nudged Percy’s hand with her elbow and said, “You’d better eat your dinner.”

“Honey, here’s the chicken wing I grilled for you. Have a taste of it. Does it taste good?” Percy said with a hint of flattery in his voice as he handed the chicken wing he grilled to Nina.

Nina took a bite and furrowed her brows.

“How is it?” It was the first time Percy grilled a chicken wing himself. The Mallory family seldom hosted barbecue dinners like this. Besides, Percy did not like eating grilled food. That was why he seldom had the chance to barbecue.

Nina’s features were contorted.

Percy frowned and said, “Does it taste bad? That’s impossible. I watched Lanie and the others grill it like this.”

Lanie could no longer stand it as he reminded Percy, “Mr. Percy, maybe the chicken wing isn’t fully cooked yet.”

“Really?” Percy frowned. The skin of the chicken wing was burnt.

“It’s not fully cooked…” Nina showed Percy the chicken wing. It was still a little red on the bone.

Percy grabbed the chicken wing from her and threw it in the trash bin. Then, he said, "Stop eating it. I'll grill another one for you."

Nina looked at the man who had never done something like this but was fumbling to grill a chicken wing for her. She suddenly thought it was amusing. Then, she stopped him and said, “It’s okay. Let me do it.”

“Then what should I do?” Percy mumbled in her ears. He did not expect his first attempt to grill a chicken wing to fail.

Nina noticed Otto was bringing the decanted wine over. He was walking toward them. She said, "Have a drink and wait for your food."

"Okay." Percy felt helpless. He was not good at cooking. His gaze fell on Luke. Luke was grilling the food seriously. Hence, he poured a glass of wine and handed it to him. "Here. Have a drink."

“Thanks.” Luke took the wine glass from him. He took a sip of the wine and placed it on the table.

“It’s nothing. It’s your wine.” Percy took a sip of the wine. It was indeed good.

No one had lived in the mansion for a long time, but Luke stored so many good wines here. If no one drank them, was he planning to keep them and only drink them when he was old?

Luke raised his brows and reminded Percy, “You’ll be paying for the wine.”

“...” Percy was flabbergasted. Based on what Luke said, he should be thanking him for the wine.

Nina handed Percy the grilled steak and said, “Here’s your food.”
