Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2992

Since Lanie was going to participate in the math competition, Tommy should too.

Tommy nodded and said, “Yes, Ms. Luca. I want to compete too, but the teacher said I’d have to wait until next week because my competition date is different from Lanie’s.”

“Okay.” Luca nodded.

They did not have to worry much as parents because the kids were smart.

“Lanie and Tommy are so smart.” Rainie could not help but sigh as she was not as skilled in mathematics as her brothers. Although her grades were not bad, the math competition was too advanced for her.

Her teachers were aware of that, so they did not ask her to participate in math competitions. Instead, she joined other types of competitions, including dance.

Tommy shook his head and genuinely praised Rainie, “You’re the smart one, Rainie. You’ve joined so many competitions. Lanie and I don’t have nearly as many awards as you.”

“You always know what to say. I still have some snacks from yesterday that I haven’t finished yet. I’ll give them to you later.” Rainie was pleased to hear what he said, so she wanted to reward him with food.

There was nothing Tommy liked more than delicious food, so he nodded repeatedly with beaming black pupils.

Rainie was then reminded of how he had overstuffed himself yesterday, so she warned him, “Don’t have them all at once and overstuff yourself.”

“Don’t worry, Rainie. I’ll never overeat again!” Tommy raised one hand as if he were swearing, but he secretly thought to himself, ‘Mom’s cooking is an exception.’

Tommy’s gestures and words made the whole family laugh.

After dinner, Luke went upstairs to deal with work, while Luca sat in the first-floor living room with the kids as they watched cartoons. In the meantime, she checked their homework.

Luca did not have time to pack up her documents because Johann called her right after she got off work, so she left empty-handed. Luca wanted to bring her documents back, but they were still on her desk and in a complete mess.

When she was done checking the kids' homework, she did not want to disturb Luke. Since the kids already knew her identity, she signed Luke’s name on their homework on his behalf.

After giving the books back to the kids, she opened up their handwriting copybooks.

Luca could tell what the children were feeling from their handwriting. It seemed like all three of them were not very focused when writing. It looked like it was written impatiently because they were worried about her.

Luca knew how they felt, so she did not comment on it. Instead, she praised them, “Your handwriting is so neat.”

Tommy smiled and took the copybook from Luca as he said, “Ms. Luca, I realized that practicing my handwriting is not that hard. I’ll keep on practicing in the future!”

Luca knew that the child only said so because he liked hearing praise from her.

How could playful children like them be gladly willing to practice their handwriting?

However, it was important to encourage children, so Luca nodded. “Great, keep it up, Tommy. From now on, everyone is going to compliment your handwriting!”

Tommy nodded in agreement.

Just then, the cartoon was starting, so the kids diverted their attention to the television.

Then, the doorbell rang, and before Luca could even stand up, she heard Rainie uttering, “Could it be Uncle Louis?”

“Did Uncle Louis get kicked out by Grandma again?” Tommy added.

Luca smiled wryly at how much the kids loved their Uncle Louis. Then, she stood up and said, “That’s enough. If it really is Uncle Louis, you'd better watch your words.”
