Aunt Neile dared not to disturb them as they were discussing matters inside the tea room. She could not make the decision, and that was why she came to ask Luca.

Luca glanced at the time, then she glanced at the tea room with the door closed. She said, “Just prepare his portion. There's nothing wrong with preparing more."

Although Percy was Luke's friend, it did not matter if they prepared lunch for him or not.

However, this was basic courtesy. By preparing more, it might lead to more food wastage, but it would be impolite and drive the guests away if they did not prepare anything for him.

"I think so too, but Mr. Mallory's preferences..." Aunt Neile was afraid that the dishes she prepared would not suit Pierre's taste.

Luca said, "Prepare some home-cooked dishes. I remember that Mr. Mallory loves home-cooked dishes."

"How do you know that?" Aunt Neile asked with curiosity. It was Percy's first time staying here until lunchtime if she remembered it clearly.

Luca was dumbfounded for a moment. She could not tell her that she had known Percy for a long time.

She smiled and said, "Who wouldn't like having home-cooked meals? Besides, he's Mr. Crawford's friend. So, there's no need to make a big deal out of it. Come on, let me help you."

"Thank you." Aunt Neile returned to the kitchen with a smile on her face. The meals that Luca prepared tasted good. Even if they were simple home-cooked food, it was so good that one would not be able to stop themselves from having more.

The two of them were busy cooking in the kitchen while Luke and Percy drank tea in the tea room.

They began to discuss work after talking about the trouble that Pierre had caused, then they talked about what had been happening in the business industry in A City lately.

"Have you heard about it? The municipal government is preparing to develop the deserted land in the western suburbs," said Percy.

"Is it confirmed?" Luke asked. "The land in the western suburbs was supposed to be an amusement park, but it's been deserted for so long. Rumors about its development started when Lanie and Rainie were born."
