They were more surprised to hear the history behind the wine compared to the year it was made. This wine had now become priceless in their eyes.


..................................


If this bottle of wine was auctioned off, who knew what the price would be.


Dwi had tried an old wine that had a history of over 100 years before, but it was nothing compared to the wine she was drinking now.


"good. It's just a story anyway." Luis smiled after seeing the grim expressions on their faces. "Since we've tasted the wine, how about we eat it now? I cooked this."


"All right then."


Both Dwi and Melia nodded and did not discuss wine anymore because they felt that it was too valuable to give away for free. They wouldn't even dare to accept it even if Luis gave it to them.


The meaning and history behind this wine was too heavy, and the price was countless. They would owe Luis a huge debt if they took this wine for themselves.


After that, the four of them began to bribe their food. However, Luis still poured the wine into the glass every time it was empty, making them unable to resist drinking it.


They spent over an hour to finish the meal, and the wine was slowly depleted.


"Geez, you're a great cook, Luis." Melia smiled and continued, "I've eaten a variety of dishes, but your cooking is completely different. Even a 5-star restaurant chef can learn from you. Your future wife will be very lucky to marry you."


"Even I'm impressed, and I'd like to hire you as my personal chef now." Dwi also smiled before continuing, "So, Luis, do you already have a boyfriend?"


"Um ... not yet, I don't have it." Luis was stunned to hear this question.


"I've got a daughter, she's not far from you. How about I introduce him to you?" After saying that, Dwi giggled.


Melia immediately frowned hearing what she said. Luis knows Lia first, he doesn't want Dwi to go before him. "Celia can get angry when she hears that, Dwi."


Everyone had fun while eating together, both Dwi and Melia were satisfied. Dwi even thought of making Luis his future son-in-law.


However, Melia objected after hearing her intentions, even Lia also refused to Luis, which made Dwi undo her intentions. This made him look at Lia and Luis with seductive gazes.


"In that case, since we're all full, I'll go home now. I need my pretty sleep."


After driving Dwi away, Luis then said goodbye to Melia and Lia.


Lia raised her eyebrows. "It's late now, just stay here. There are plenty of rooms, choose one and stay overnight. After all, it's very dangerous at night."


"What kind of danger can there be? The streets of Malatam are still crowded even in the middle of the night, so don't worry." Luis waved his hand and rejected his offer.


Malatam has been transformed into a sleepless city for the past decade. Although not comparable to a city that never really sleeps, as Luis says, there are still a number of people who roam the streets even in the middle of the night, busy with their own affairs.


"Well, at least let Lia drive you home, not far from here anyway." Melia furrowed her brows as she conveyed her suggestion.


Melia was speechless when Luis refused to stay the night, and as she said, it was not too late.


"It's okay. Lia had a cramp today, so it's best to let her rest." Luis shook his head and refused. Even though Lia's cramps had subsided, it didn't mean he had recovered, and Luis would be a troubled person if his cramps recurred.


He knows his daughter well. Lia will lie more in bed because of cramps during menstruation.


Melia even takes Lia to visit some famous doctors to overcome this but it does not work, which is why she does not think that Lia is menstruating.


"Yes. Good thing Luis was massaging me, it's not too painful right now."


Lia knew the cramps she experienced could be very painful and long-lasting. Even the doctors were unable to get rid of the cramp, but Luis easily reduced the pain of his cramp by simply massaging. Therefore one can conclude that he has great skills.


"You have medical skills, Luis?" Melia was surprised to hear that.


Although he didn't know Luis very well, at least he knew a little about him. But he never knew that Luis was adept at medicine.


Something like medical skills is the same as culinary science, which can only be honed through years of practice and experience.


"No, I just know a little." Luis rubbed his head timidly. His medical skills are limited to little things like menstrual cramps. He doesn't know anything about a serious illness. "Oh, you're too humble."


Melia raised her eyebrows and continued, "Alright, let me get straight to the point. Can Lia's cramps be cured?"


Melia had seen her daughter in so much pain that she was rolling around on the bed because of this cramp, and now, the chance to heal was in front of her. Therefore, Melia wanted her daughter to try anything she could know, even if the odds were small.


Even Melia herself thinks that these cramps have no cure. However, as a mother, as long as there was still hope she would not give up for the sake of her daughter.


"It's possible, if you massage him consistently," Luis replied unconvincedly.


Marketplace did state that massage can help with menstrual cramps, but she did not know how long it would take to cure them.


"That's great! Then I'll count on your help, Luis." Melia's eyes were filled with excitement.


Seeing that, Luis nodded and replied, "Don't worry. Lia is my friend, so I will do my best to help her."


"Yes, you're right!" Lia smiled and looked at Luis. "I'll punish you if I don't!"


"Basic you ...." Melia could only sigh and clasped Lia's hand.


Lia was a beautiful woman, many of whom tried to chase her first. Some of them even had good family backgrounds, but Lia rejected them all.


She has a bad temper, so Melia is worried that Lia cannot find a lover in the future because rarely can anyone endure her anger.


After rejecting Lia and Melia's offer to stay, Luis exits the Tirtajeluk Park. Taxis are rarely seen here because there are only rows of large houses around the area. Luis could not find a taxi as he walked, just a private rental car around the area.


He sighed and continued walking towards an alley not far from him. As he remembered, he was able to get a taxi after passing through that alley and getting to Jalan Keris.


It might be because the day is getting late, but there is no one around the alley. Only the yellow light from the shining street lights illuminated the area.


"Stop right there!" Suddenly, someone appeared before Luis.
