But she still had to pretend. "I can buy it for you, but you have to promise me one thing."
Hearing that there was still hope, Lucas immediately asked expectantly, "What?"
"In the future, you have to sleep on your own. Can you do it?"
He thought that as long as he could eat chocolate biscuits, he could agree to any condition.
However, Lucas hesitated when he heard Huston's request.
This was no other than asking him to give up his mother's time at night. The price of chocolate biscuits was too high.
Lucas immediately shrugged. "You don't want me to sleep with Mom because you want to occupy her, right?"
Instead of answering him directly, Huston warned him, "Your mother wanted you to sleep alone. You're almost five years old. You're no longer a baby. If you can't sleep on your own now, how can you protect your mother in the future?"
Lucas was speechless. He knew that he couldn't accept it for a while.
Seeing that playing tough didn't work, he softened his tone. "Look, your mom thought so too. You'll have to sleep on your own sooner or later. Why don't you promise me that you'll have chocolate biscuits to eat now?"
Just thinking about it, the logical adult knew what the flaw was. But after all, Lucas was a four-year-old child, so he was immediately fooled.
Especially for Lucas, who wanted to eat chocolate biscuits at this moment, this was the biggest temptation.
He looked at the biscuits and asked Huston hesitantly, "Will you take Mommy away from me in the future?"
His cautious gaze stabbed into his son's heart again. He immediately shook his head and said, "No, Mommy is yours. She will always be yours. No one can take her away from you."
"Go upstairs and apply it, or tonight..."
Before he could finish his words, she glared at him. "Don't even think about it tonight!"
After that, she turned around and went upstairs, with indescribable anger in her back.
Huston stood where he was and secretly laughed. He helplessly rubbed his forehead with both hands. What was this called? He had reaped what he sowed.
When she returned to the bedroom to apply the medicine, the cold ointment immediately relieved the burning swelling. When she thought of what had happened last night, she couldn't help cursing in her heart, "I really can't listen to a man's words in bed. I can't let him have his way tonight."
After applying the medicine, she went to the sink to wash her hands. Before she could wipe away the water droplets on her hands, she heard the phone ring. She hurried over and picked it up. It was Bert.
She was stunned. She hadn't contacted him for two days.
