Since it was a Saturday the following day, Luca lingered in bed for a while longer before getting up.
She figured that Aunt Neile must have already bought all the ingredients needed for today, so now she needed to go downstairs to help.
Some ingredients needed to be marinated for a few hours to taste good when grilled.
When Luca arrived downstairs, the kids were all sitting on the couch reading.
When they saw Luca coming down, they all greeted her, "Ms. Luca, you’re up."
"Yes, I am. Where's your daddy?" asked Luca. When she walked out of the bedroom, she glanced at the opposite bedroom door, which was open. However, Luke was not inside.
She slept quite deeply all night. Therefore, she had no idea when he got up.
"Daddy left early. He said he had to go back to the office to deal with something. Ms. Luca, please go and have your breakfast. Aunt Neile put a lot of things on the table. Maybe you should bring them over here to eat," said Rainie, reminding her not to go hungry.
"Okay, I'll have breakfast first." Luca nodded and walked into the dining room. Indeed, there were many bags on the table.
"The ingredients…" As Luca muttered to herself, she looked at the table full of ingredients. She could understand why Aunt Neile did this.
She remembered what she told Aunt Neile yesterday. Since a lot of people were invited to the barbecue this time, Aunt Neile was asked to prepare more ingredients. If she found any ingredients suitable for barbecue, she could buy them.
Anyway, if they could not finish them, they could put the ingredients in the fridge and have them the next day. They would not be wasted.
It was just that Luca did not expect Aunt Neile to prepare so many ingredients.
However, when she thought about the people coming tonight, she felt it was right to prepare more ingredients. It was better than to let someone go hungry, right?
"Good morning, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile came out of the kitchen. She saw Luca and greeted her with a smile on her face.
"Good morning, Aunt Neile. If I had known you were going to buy so many ingredients, I would've gone with you so I could help carry some." Luca felt a bit embarrassed when she thought about Aunt Neile carrying so many ingredients back home alone.
There were too many bags. Did she use a small cart to haul all this?
Aunt Neile chuckled and replied, "It's okay, Mr. Crawford asked Mr. Warren to take me to the market today. He helped me. It was quite easy."
"Oh? I see." Luca was surprised. She did not expect Luke to have arranged everything.
"Yeah, but now I have to prepare these ingredients bit by bit, so I'll need to occupy the dining table for a while. Ms. Craw, would you like to have breakfast in the living room later?" asked Aunt Neile.
Since she bought so many ingredients, she had to wash and prepare them one by one. Only then could Luca season and finally skewer them.
"Sure. No problem." Luca nodded. "I'll come to help after I finish breakfast."
"No rush. I’ve heated up your breakfast in the microwave. Let me clean these first," said Aunt Neile, indicating there were still many ingredients to be cleaned.
For some reason, there were a lot of people at the market today, and the stalls she usually patronized were unusually busy, so the stall owners did not have time to do a simple rinse for her.
Aunt Neile was left with no choice. She could only buy them and clean them herself.
Cleaning was not a difficult task, but with so many ingredients, it became quite a chore.
Luca took out the breakfast Aunt Neile had heated up for her from the microwave and brought it to the living room to eat.
Rainie watched Luca have her breakfast and asked, "Ms. Craw, are a lot of people coming over tonight?"
"Yeah, they're all people you know. It's a small gathering." Luca nodded.
"Oh, so they're all the ones we know," replied Rainie.
"Uncle Jim’s son will be coming, along with Uncle Louis’ daughter. You’ll have company to play with." Luca thought the kids would enjoy having playmates their age.
When Rainie heard that Jim's child was also coming, her brows furrowed together.
Noticing her daughter's unease, Luca asked, "What's wrong?"
