Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2178

“Not many. Lanie, you should try.” Tommy was worried Lanie would not allow him to eat the cookies, so he moved the plate toward him.

Lanie turned to look at Luca helplessly.

Luca could feel Lanie’s gaze on her. She seemed to understand what he meant.

It was like Lanie was telling her, ‘Look at your greedy little son…’

Luca cleared her throat and said, “Lanie, take a few of them. Leave the rest for tonight.”

Lanie nodded and took three pieces of cookies.

Tommy was looking at them eagerly and asked, “Ms. Luca, can I take some too?”

Luca looked at the cookie crumbs on the corner of Tommy’s lips, and the eager look on his face. It softened her heart.

She glanced at the plate, and she briefly knew how many cookies Tommy had eaten. If Tommy continued to eat the cookies, he would not be able to have dinner later, or he might be stuffed.

“Ms. Luca…” Tommy tried to act cute again when he saw Luca not saying anything. He wanted to win another chance to eat more cookies.

Luca thought that it should be fine to let Tommy have another one or two. However, she met Lanie’s gaze when she was about to say something.

Although Lanie did not say anything, Luca felt that he was reminding herself not to spoil Tommy.

Luca had no choice but to make up her mind and reason with Tommy, “Tommy, you’ve eaten quite a few cookies. I know you’re hungry now, but if you keep on eating, you won’t be able to have your dinner. Don’t forget I’m the one making your dinner today.”

Even though Tommy wanted more, he compromised instantly once he heard Luca telling him that she would be preparing dinner. He said, “Okay, Ms. Luca. I won’t eat anymore.”

The cookies were yummy, but Luca’s home-cooked food tasted better.

Luca placed the cookies on a higher table so that the kids would not be able to reach the cookies if they returned to the kitchen. Then, she said, "Okay. I'm going to prepare dinner now. Kids, head to the living room and wait for dinner."

Tommy nodded and left together with Lanie.

Aunt Neile watched everything that happened and could not help but exclaim, “Ms. Craw, you sure know how to handle the kids.”

“Huh?” Luca turned around and looked at Aunt Neile.

"I used to work at Crawford Manor. Only Mr. Crawford could handle Young Master Tommy when he was greedy. The others aren’t able to persuade him. He’d simply refuse to give in. Even if Old Master Crawford was there, he would think of a way or act cute to get what he wanted to eat," said Aunt Neile with a smile on her face. "You're the only person who can convince Tommy to stop eating other than Mr. Crawford."

Luca shook her head helplessly. She knew Tommy was greedy, but she did not expect Tommy to behave like this in front of the old master.

Old Master Crawford was the most dignified person in the Crawford family. She was helpless when she imagined Tommy pestering him and asking for snacks. There was nothing the old master could do even if that was the case.

After all, it was hard to reject Tommy when he acted cutely.

“Is that so?” Luca smiled, put on the apron, and began to make dinner.

Luca had learned from last night's experience, so she cooked fewer dishes today. It was to prevent the kids from eating too much and it affecting their health.

Luca accompanied the kids to watch their favorite cartoon with them after dinner. Then, she asked them to take a shower and get ready to go to bed. Luca only returned to her bedroom after she completed everything.

Luca had left her phone charging in the bedroom after she took a nap this afternoon. Then, she headed downstairs to bake some cookies with Rainie. She forgot she left her phone upstairs.

Luca’s heart skipped a beat when she saw there were five missed calls. She tapped on the notification immediately and realized that all of them were from Luke.

She glanced at the time. It was when she woke up from her nap and went downstairs to bake the cookies with Rainie.
