The mellowness of the butter spread in her mouth. Luca took another bite and watched Luke out of the corners of her eyes.

She knew that Luke did not like sweets.

However, there were only desserts and fruits in the mini bar.

Luca said softly when she noticed that Luke was just staring at the desserts, "Mr. Crawford, if you don't like sweets, you can try the chocolate cake."

Luke pointed to the little chocolate cake and said, "This one?"

"Yeah." Luca nodded. The cake was mainly made of dark chocolate and cocoa powder, so it would not be as sweet as other cakes.

Luke took a bite, and the aroma of rich chocolate and cocoa attacked his taste buds. It was not too sweet, so he could still accept it.

He slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

Luca noticed the arc of his smile and could not help but ask curiously, "Mr. Crawford, what are you smiling at?"

"Rainie's favorite as a child was chocolate," Luke said.

Luca nodded. She knew that.

Her little girl loved sweet things, especially chocolate. However, after three years, Rainie did not seem to be a big fan of chocolate anymore. It was probably because the little girl had grown up and started to pay attention to her figure.

After all, she danced ballet, and it had strict weight requirements.

"Eventually, she stopped having it." Luke savored the chocolate cake in front of him and mentioned those things she missed.

Luca had a rough idea of why, but she still wanted to hear about the kids. Hence, she played along and asked, "Why?"

"Tommy cried day and night after my wife was kidnapped. Sometimes, he needed chocolate to calm down. Rainie said that as his older sister, she should take care of her younger brother. Hence, she gave all the chocolates in her pocket to Tommy. Since then, she stopped eating chocolate," Luke said. It was because of this that Rainie became more sensible and gave all the good things to her brother.

It was just to make Tommy feel less uncomfortable for a while.

Luca was calm on the outside, but her heart felt as though it was being cut by a knife when she heard what he said.
