Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1604

Luca pushed the car door open. She was still confused as to why he would bring her here to try the dishes.

Would it not be better if he brought the old master or his children here?

They were a family, after all. They would know what each other's preferences were.

Luke got out of the car and closed the car door. He walked toward her side.

He stood tall beside her. It made her feel like she was protected standing next to him. She would be happy if it were in the past, but now she felt stressed standing beside him.

She probably felt guilty for lying to him...

Luca tried to behave naturally, but she still felt stressed. The man's aura was too strong. She might just tell him everything right now if he questioned her.

Luke shot her a glance and sensed her anxiety.

She was probably wondering why he chose to bring her here, right?

Before this, she was responsible for organizing Old Master Crawford's birthday every year. The old master loved everything she arranged for him, be it the venue or the meal.

Old Master Crawford even told him that no one in the family could do it better than Bianca.

Hence, when Luke found out that Luca's real identity was Bianca, he brought her here without any hesitation.

“The old master has tried your cooking before, and he toldthat it suits his taste. He likes the food you cook, so I brought you here to try out the dishes. He'll probably like what you choose," Luke

explained. Old Master Crawford had held his birthday at Hotel Viking before. However, the hotel's chef was a different person now. He could not cook the dishes that the previous chef made.

With Luca here, she would be able to pick the dishes that Old Master Crawford would like.

"So that's how it is." Luca was relieved after she knew the reason. She could set her mind at ease after he explained it to her.

Both of them walked into the hotel's lobby. The hotel's manager cup to welcthem. "Welcome, Mr. Crawford!"

There was no expression on Luke's face when the manager and the female receptionists greeted him passionately. Luke glanced at Luca before saying, "Are the dishes ready?"

"Don't worry. The kitchen has finished preparing the dishes. We were just waiting for you to try the dishes and make your selection," the manager replied enthusiastically. They could gain a significant amount of profit if the Crawford family decided to hold their celebration at their hotel.

Luke nodded and said to Luca, "Let's go."

Luca nodded as well.

The hotel manager shot a glance at Luca. She did not look like Mrs. Crawford, whom he had seen in the magazine. Who was this?

However, it would be impolite if he asked. He could only smile and lead them to the private room. "Mr. Crawford, Miss, we're here."

Luke and Luca walked into the private room.

The private room was spacious, while the decorations were resplendent and magnificent. There was a big dining table in the middle of the room and a rotating top table on top.

The two of them would not need such a big private room.

They were only here to try the dishes. The hotel would serve them their specialties and let them pick.

Luke sat down, and Luca sat opposite him.

Luke frowned when he noticed the distance between them. He stood up and walked toward her. He pulled out the chair beside her and sat down.

"Mr. Crawford..." Luca looked at him, puzzled. Even though it was considered a normal distance, they seemed to be too close to each other in such a spacious private room.

Luke took a sip of the tea, and he said in a soft voice, "It's more convenient for us to communicate this way."

Luca was at a loss for words. What did he mean by that?

It would be convenient to communicate with each other even if he sat opposite her. After all, the private room was a fixed space regardless of how big it was. It was not a hall, so how could it be difficult for him to communicate with her if he sat opposite her.

Luca thought that in her heart, but she dared not say it out.

The manager who stood beside them asked respectfully, "Mr. Crawford, shall we serve the dishes now?"

"Sure." Luke took another sip of tea and shot a glance at the woman beside him. It seemed like she was unwilling to sit beside him.

That was not how she used to be. Three years had gone by and she seemed like she was afraid of him.

Luke could not help but feel depressed. He had always been kind to her. How did things turn out like this?

Luca took a sip of tea too. The hotel had specifically prepared the tea for them. It was for them to cleanse their palate. They were about to try out a variety of dishes, so they needed a palate cleanser. The manager bowed and said, "Alright. Please give us a minute."

He started to give instructions to the waiters in the kitchen through the walkie-talkie. After a while, a few waiters carried plates of dishes over and stood in a circle. They served the dishes on the rotating table top on the dining table.

Luca looked at the colorful, aromatic, and tasty dishes on the table. She realized she did not know where to begin. She naturally turned to look at Luke.

Luke was looking at her too. The moment their eyes met, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Luca shook her head, telling him that there was nothing wrong. "Mr. Crawford, which one should we start with?"

"Let's start with the appetizer," replied Luke after thinking for a moment. An appetizer certainly had to be the first course of the meal, and Hotel Viking provided a variety of appetizers.

Luca watched the waiter fill the plate with different appetizers before serving it to them.

She picked up the spoon and tried all the appetizers.

Luke tried them out too.

They had to choose the appetizer first. The manager asked politely, "May I know which one you prefer?"

"Sweet potato salad."

"Sweet potato salad."

The two of them said it at the stime.

Luca's heart skipped a beat when she heard that Luke had chosen the dish as her. She liked the dressing of the sweet potato salad, and he liked it too...

Although there was nothing odd about it, she felt guilty and as though they should not be doing this.

She explained to Luke, "The dressing of the sweet potato salad tastes better. And it's almost autumn now. It suits the autumn season."

Luke nodded. "Then sweet potato salad it is."

The manager was happy to hear them give the sanswer. It meant that they did not have to take too long to decide.

"Alright, so the appetizer will be the sweet potato salad?" He jotted it down on his notes as he asked.

They continued to try out the other dishes after picking the appetizer.

Luca only took a bite of each dish because of the variety of dishes. She would take another two bites to taste the dish again if she tasted something good. Luke secretly remembered all these small gestures of hers.

She used to be like that, and he did not expect she would still keep this habit of hers.

She would then tell him about the dishes that she had taken a few bites of.

They were finally done trying out all the dishes that the hotel served after an hour.

Luca handed Luke a piece of paper, saying, "Mr. Crawford, these are the ones I recommend. I find them suitable to serve at a birthday banquet."
