"I'll get changed later," replied Luke. He would always put his principles and habits aside in front of her.

What mattered was that she was happy.

Luca placed the chicken wings in front of him and asked, "Do you know how to cut small crosswise slits?"

"Huh?" Luke seldom entered the kitchen. He did not know how to cook either. It was his first time hearing the words she said.

Luca picked up one of the chicken wings and a knife. Then, she cut small crosswise slits on the front and back of the chicken wing and said, "Something like this. It'll let the marinade cover more of the surface of the meat."

"Easy." Luke took the knife from Luca and began to do his job seriously.

Luca watched Luke cut the slits on the chicken wing. After making sure he had no problem with it, she started cleaning the beef ribs and marinating them.

It was supposed to take around an hour to finish marinating the ingredients, but Luca was able to finish it in half an hour with Luke's help.

Luca let out a sigh of relief after she placed all the marinated ingredients into the fridge.

Luca leaned against the kitchen countertop and watched Luke wash his hands. Then, he took off the apron and hung it back. Then, he washed his hands again. She could not help but smile.

The man who said he did not mind getting dirty a moment ago was unable to stand the dirtiness now.

Luca lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Crawford, go get changed. I'm guessing Mr. Mallory and Nina will be here soon."

"Okay. I'll go get changed first." Luke walked out of the kitchen and headed upstairs to get changed.

After Luca washed her hands, she left the kitchen and came upstairs too.

She needed to get changed as well.

Luca pushed the bedroom door open. Only then did she realize Luke was getting changed.

Luke had taken off his shirt, revealing his muscular chest.
