"You're right. Since you love Chanaean food, we can hire some Chanaean chefs. It's not a big deal."
It was rare for Carl to agree with Lucas's viewpoint. At that moment, he was delighted that Lucas casually pointed out their intention of visiting Carla.
Upon hearing Lucas' words, Randy fell silent and gazed at Carla with mixed feelings.
"Thank you, Sir Carl, " Carla thanked Carl and said, "Shall we go to the study after breakfast? Well, it is as good as Daemon's."
Carl nodded. "Sure. I heard that Mr. Lierger designed and built it for you."
"Yes. Daemon put in a lot of thoughts to build the study for me."
Back then, Carla spent around half a year recuperating in the Lierger residence. However, Daemon made sure that she was occupied with things. He hired teachers for her and encouraged her to read at night.
Hence, Carla eventually became knowledgeable because of the rigorous training given by Daemon.
"In that case, I must visit the study." Carl put on a smile.
After having breakfast, Randy put down the cutlery and said to Carla, "Mommy, I'm done. I'll go upstairs to keep Venus company."
"Alright. Off you go, " Carla gazed at him and replied gently.
"Please enjoy your meal, Sir Carl. See you, Uncle Lucas."
"See you!"
With that, Randy went upstairs after.
Carl looked at him and said meaningfully, "Your son is indeed a genius. How generous of Zayn to hand over his custody to you!"
Carla frowned upon hearing it and changed the subject of conversation. "Let's talk in the study."
"Sure."
As they were in the study, Mrs. Matrom served some high-quality coffee and dessert.
Freda waited next to the door coldly while Carl took a few sips of the coffee.
Meanwhile, Lucas handed over some gifts to Carla. "Carla, I'm sorry that I didn't have time to give these to you yesterday. I brought these from F Nation—"
"What?" When Carla opened the box, she was surprised to see a delicate cake. After all, Lucas always gifted necklaces and jewelry to her whenever they met.
"I met a chef in F Nation who is good at baking cakes. So, I learned from him to bake this angel food cake. Do you want to try it and tell me if you like it?"
"Did you bake the cake by yourself?" Carla was surprised. Since Lucas was pampered by his family and never cooked, Carla couldn't believe that he had learned to make cakes.
"Yes, I did. Try it." Then, Lucas handed over a piece of the cake to Carla and said, "I've brought three more boxes for your triplets but am worried that they don't like it. So, I think you can try it first and give some comments."
"Hehe…" Carla put on a smile and thought to herself. Lucas is indeed a good friend if we don't have to talk about marriage…
Carla took a bite of the cake and exclaimed, "Wow, it's not bad! Delicious!"
Elation filled Lucas' entire being. "Really? I'm so glad to hear that. You know, I was a bit worried that the cake wasn't to your liking."
Meanwhile, Carla was a little touched because Lucas learned to bake cakes for her. "Believe me, it's delicious. However, you don't have to do it next time. I mean, baking cakes is too time-consuming."
"It's fine. I'm happy that I can bake a cake by myself. Also, I'll learn anything that you like." Lucas felt excited because Carla recognized his effort.
Carl heaved a sigh and chimed in, "Lucas has never entered the kitchen since he was a kid. So, he has put in a lot of effort for you. As his parent, I'm worried about him sometimes. Nonetheless, I'll still support him as long as it's something that he likes."
"Dad—"
Carla said smilingly, "Sir Carl, I'll answer the question you posed to me earlier. Zayn was indeed reluctant to let go of his son. After all, a father certainly hopes that his son can stay by his side. Despite that, Randy is a strong-minded kid and decides to stay by my side."
Carl nodded and replied, "That's good to hear. By the way, I think Mr. Lierger likes him too."
"Yes." With that, Carla went straight to the point. "Are you here today because you want to avoid Daemon and discuss something with me directly?"
