Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2972

Tommy’s chubby smile instantly dropped.

He did not want to practice his handwriting!

However, he could not refuse Luca’s request. It was usually Luke’s sternness that would make him compromise, but Luca’s gentleness also made it hard for him to say no.

“Alright, let’s start tomorrow.” Tommy remembered that he still had many books on his bookshelf that Old Master Crawford gifted him back then. It was the same for his siblings.

At that time, the kids were not told to practice, so other than Rainie, Tommy and Lanie had never touched those books.

Now, Tommy suspected that his mom and his great-grandpa schemed this together. Why else would he be gifted those books for practicing handwriting?

After pondering for a moment, he was about to say that he did not have the suitable materials.

“Tommy still has many empty copybooks,” said Lanie.

Tommy’s eyes widened. Of course, his brother would say that!

Luca smiled upon hearing that and said, “Great, we don’t have to buy any, then. Let’s do two pages every day starting tomorrow.”

Tommy was a little annoyed. Why did he do his homework so sloppily just now?

If he had put in a little more effort, he would not have to practice his handwriting.

“Ms. Luca, how long do I have to do this for?” Tommy blinked his round eyes, trying to gain sympathy from Luca with his pitiful eyes to soften her heart.

“There should be at least 50 pages in a book, so let’s do it for a month,” Luca said decidedly. She did it hard-heartedly as she looked at the child acting pitiful.

It was for his own good.

One month!

Tommy pouted. The thought of filling up the entire copybook made him want to cry.

Rainie laughed at the sight of her brother’s face and said, “I’ll practice with you!”

Tommy looked at Rainie and said, “You’re a girl, so you have the patience to practice your handwriting. Plus, you’ve already filled up a few of the books that Great-grandpa gave you.”

“I’ll do it too,” said Lanie. Although his handwriting was already very neat because he had practiced calligraphy before, he decided to practice too after hearing what they said.

That way, Tommy would not think that it was unfair. All he had to do was sacrifice some of his reading time to practice.

It would do him no harm anyway.

After hearing what Lanie said, Tommy started to calm down. Then, he said smilingly, “I feel much better now with Lanie and Rainie doing it with me.”

Rainie could not help but flick his forehead. “Great-grandpa said that it’s important to have good penmanship. You should take it more seriously!”

“I know, and I won’t do it again. I promise that I’ll write properly!” Tommy pouted, feeling wronged.

If not for being worried that he would not be able to finish his homework before dinner, he would not have written sloppily.

Luke heard what Tommy said as he was coming down, so he asked with raised eyebrows, “Is your handwriting getting messy again?”

Tommy immediately retorted, “It’s not that messy…”

Luke raised his eyebrows.

“I was just in a rush, that’s why… I wanted to finish my homework before going to dinner. The teacher gave us a lot of homework today. I had finished a lot at school. Otherwise, I'd still be doing it now,” Tommy muttered.

Tommy wondered if the teacher deliberately assigned that much homework because she knew about his plans today…

“Are you done with your homework?” Luke asked.

“We’re all done, Daddy,” Rainie said with a sweet smile.
