Although Jack agreed, this whole situation still made him distressed, and even the hair on his temples was turning white.

Of course, Luca felt bad for him.

"Alright, alright. I'll be back for dinner more often." Jack agreed twice with smiling eyes.

Queenie noticed that Jack was happier seeing Luca than seeing his own grandchildren, which confused her.

Luca may be kind to the Norman family, but that did not justify Jack's behavior...

Queenie did not comment on it. Instead, she said, "Dear, you promised Luca, so you have to come back for dinner more often."

Listening to his wife's orders, Jack reassured her. "After Luca has done so much for us, I definitely won't let her down."

Queenie smiled. Jack usually did not come home for dinner because of work, so it was nice that he promised to come back for dinner more often now.

She was glad.

Then, she stood up, carried the two bags of herbs, and said, "These herbs have to be kept away from moisture, so I'll put them away first."

After saying that, she walked inside with the bags.

Only then did Jack glance at Luke and Luca before asking, "How much did the herbs cost? I'll transfer the money to you later."

Luca knew why he said that, so she immediately shook her head and said. "No need. They don't cost that much. Plus, Mr. Crawford has already transferred the money to me, so you can just accept the gift."

Jack glanced at Luke.

Luke nodded and said, "Yes, Dad. I've already paid for them, so you can just think of it as a gesture of filial piety from your son-in-law."

"You're good with words. I know they're all from Luca," said Jack. Although Leia made them question their education methods as parents, he was satisfied with how Luca turned out.
