Tommy shook his head and said insistently, "You should stay here, Ms. Luca. Daddy said that you can stay here for as long as you want. It's okay."
Luke owned many properties, and many people could stay there for as long as they wanted, but she did not want to stay there.
Luca could only try to appease the child for now. "By the way, you must be hungry, right? Let's have dinner."
Tommy's eyes sparkled when Luca mentioned food, and he forgot that he was halfway convincing Luca. He rubbed his stomach and said, "Yes, Ms. Luca, I'm hungry. What's for dinner tonight?"
Luke stood some distance away and watched the exchange between Luca and Tommy. He was a little disappointed that Tommy had forgotten about the important matter.
It seemed that Luca knew exactly what Tommy liked. The boy would forget about everything else once someone mentioned food.
However, Luke did not reprimand the boy. After all, he was still only a child.
Luca was secretly glad that she managed to shift the conversation topic. She was Tommy's birth mother, so it was natural that she knew what Tommy liked.
Even though she was gone for three years, she realized that she still understood the child quite well.
Luca took Tommy's hand, stood up, and led him to the dining table. "I don't know. The maid cooked dinner tonight, but I'm sure that it'll be delicious."
Tommy was slightly disappointed that Luca did not cook dinner tonight, though he understood that it was because she was injured. He smiled, nodded, and said, "I'm sure that Mdm. Gardner's cooking is very delicious too!"
The maid came out of the kitchen with a tray of food. She smiled when she heard Tommy's praises. "Have a taste, Master Tommy."
Usually, only Luke would stay in that apartment, and he would not eat his meals there. It was the first time the maid cooked for Luke and his family.
"If Ms. Luca says that it's delicious, I'm sure that it's delicious!" Tommy said.
"Ms. Luca, Master Tommy is very fond of you," the maid said.
Luca smiled and pulled a chair. "Let's sit down."
Tommy sat on the chair and waited for the food to be served.
Luca sat next to him. Luke went over and sat down on the chair opposite Luca.
The rectangular dining table was not as big as the table in Crawford Manor. They were sitting quite close together.
After the maid served all the dishes, she said, "Sir, Ms. Luca, Master Tommy, please enjoy dinner. I've also made some custard pudding, and it's cooling down in the fridge. It should be ready for eating after you've finished dinner."
"Mm. You may leave," Luke said. He remembered that the maid was taking the rest of the day off.
The maid nodded, went back to her room, picked up her handbag, and left.
It was Tommy's first time eating the maid's cooking, but he seemed to enjoy it very much. Occasionally, he would fill up Luca's plate with more food, as though he was taking care of her.
Luca was glad to see that the boy was so caring. She said, "I can do it myself."
"I'm a big boy, Ms. Luca. I should take care of you when you're injured," Tommy said insistently.
Luca wanted to say something but stopped herself, feeling glad that the boy was so mature. Before she went missing, the adults at the dining table had to help him eat.
He used to be a picky eater who loved snacks more than proper meals.
Tommy had changed so much in those three years. He was behaving like a little adult now.
