Nina smacked her tongue. She could not help but mumble, “The two of them are truly prodigal."

"Wine is meant to be drunk. Of course, it's perfect to enjoy a glass of good wine during happy times. Besides, Mr. Crawford and Mr. Mallory are people who can afford the wine," said Luca with a smile. She shot a glance at Otto and nodded at him.

Otto nodded and left.

Nina could not help but exclaim, "That makes sense."

"Are you worried that there'll be a dent in Mr. Mallory's wallet?" Luca could not help but tease her. She picked up the cattail leaf fan and fanned the grill so that the charcoal could burn evenly.

Luca turned on the ventilating fan in the gazebo too. It was to prevent the concentration of carbon monoxide from getting too high.

Luca would not have chosen a charcoal grill if it were not for the kids who wanted to try the traditional way of barbecuing.

Nina blushed. She immediately shook her head and said, "No. Stop talking nonsense."

"You're blushing. Even so, you're Mrs. Mallory now. It's normal for you to be worried about Mr. Mallory's expenses." Luca smiled. She saw the three kids holding hands together and walking toward them when she looked up.

Luca pushed the glass door open and said, "Hurry up. Come in."

"Wow. It's a feast." Tommy was the first to come in. He could not help but cheer happily when he saw the food placed on the table.

After Lanie and Rainie came in, Luca asked, "We can start barbecuing. What would you like to have?"

"I'd like to have barbecued chicken wings," Tommy spoke first.

Luca took two chicken wings and looked at Lanie and Rainie.

"Ms. Luca, I'd like to have steak," said Rainie.

"Okay. What about Lanie?" Luca picked up the steak Rainie wanted to eat. Then, she asked Lanie.

Lanie was the eldest brother. He always let his younger brother and sister choose first. It made Luca cherish him more for being sensible.

"I'll have some ribs. Ms. Luca, can I barbecue them myself?" Lanie asked.

"Of course. Ribs for you. Here you go," replied Luca. She handed Lanie take some ribs. "If you'd like to barbecue the food yourself, just grab anything you'd like to eat."
