Luca had no idea, so she asked the kids for their opinions, "How would you like it cooked?"

The three kids did not discuss it and simultaneously said, "We'll follow your lead."

As Luca watched Luke and the kids shift the decision-making rights back to her, she also thought of Nina, who was still at the villa. Thus, she suggested, "How about grilled lobster with garlic butter sauce? Nina loves it too."

"Sure." Luke had no objections.

After the family of five returned to the villa, Luke walked into the kitchen with a bag, instructing Aunt Neil to prepare grilled lobster for dinner.

Luca headed upstairs and found Nina reading on the balcony.

"Nina, what are you reading?" asked Luca.

"Huh? You're back?" Nina was surprised. She thought Luca would spend the whole weekend at Crawford Manor. When Nina saw her come back, a few unpleasant scenarios came into her mind. Then, she nervously pulled Luca to sit down. "Come, take a seat."

Luca glanced at the book Nina was reading. It was a psychology book. She sat down and asked, "What's with that look?"

"I'm just looking out for you." Nina gave her the once-over a few times, checking her out from top to bottom. Then, she asked, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"Well, they all came back, so I came back too..." Luca slightly frowned, not knowing the implication behind Nina's question.

"No, what I mean is..." Nina was a little hesitant, but she still went ahead and asked, “Did you get into some trouble back at Crawford Manor? Why else would you be back so soon?"

Luca knew she was worried about her and could not help but let out a laugh.

Nina was concerned that she might have faced disapproval from Old Master Crawford and that was why they came back early.

Hence, Luca explained, "No, I didn't. It was originally planned this way, and the kids have extracurricular activities tomorrow. Plus, Rainie has a ballet performance tomorrow. We needed to come back today."
