"Great!" When the three kids returned, Aunt Neile served them some fruits, so they were not hungry now.
Suddenly, Luca remembered the cartoons she had downloaded earlier and said, "I'll play the cartoons I downloaded. Didn't you miss some of it the day I came back? I downloaded the episode."
Then, Luca played it on the TV screen.
Tommy cheered, "Ms. Luca, you're awesome!"
"I originally planned to let you watch it on the weekend, but since you've finished your homework so early today, you can catch up now." Luca put her phone down and started to check their homework.
These days were peaceful. She spent her evenings with the kids while waiting for Luke to come back. She found these days quite fulfilling.
However, she also knew that this tranquility could be shattered at any moment by Abel. That was why she cherished these moments even more.
Luca's smile faded slightly at the thought of Abel.
Who knew how long this peace would last...
"Ms. Luca, what's wrong?" Rainie was sitting beside Luca, and she sensed her change in mood.
"It's nothing." Luca shook her head. "Just checking your homework!"
Rainie furrowed her delicate brows and glanced at what Luca was doing. Luca was checking Tommy's homework. She asked, "Is Tommy's homework very bad?"
Tommy heard his name being mentioned and immediately looked nervously at Luca. He said, "No, mine isn't bad at all. I did it very seriously!"
"No, it's quite good." Luca shook her head, signing her name behind Tommy's workbook.
"Okay." Rainie felt that something was off with Luca's mood, so she leaned closer and whispered, "Ms. Luca, don't be upset. We're here for you!"
"I'm not upset." Luca looked at her daughter. Moved by Rainie being so thoughtful and considerate, her smile returned. "Don't worry, I'm fine. Everything's okay."
"Okay." Rainie nodded, then her gaze fell back to the TV.
Lanie suddenly rose to his feet.
"Lanie, where are you going?" asked Rainie.
"To get a book," replied Lanie as he made his way up the stairs.
"Oh." Rainie did not say anything more. She knew her brother was not actually interested in these cartoons. He was just watching them with them.
He was usually uninterested in them, and now rewatching them would be even less interesting to him.
After a while, Lanie came back with a book and also brought a small booklet.
He handed the small booklet to Luca.
"What's this?" Luca looked up and saw the red booklet being handed to her. There were two big words printed on it—Honor Certificate.
"It's Lanie's certificate. Lanie won the championship in the school's math competition," Rainie said.
"I'll win the national math competition next," said Lanie. He felt this award was too small. He did not intend to show it to Luca.
He had not even thought of taking it out.
The moment he received the honor certificate, he stashed it away in a drawer without ever considering taking it out.
However, when he heard Rainie say Luca did not seem very happy a moment ago, as though she had something on her mind, he suddenly recalled that parents always liked seeing their children succeed.
If Luca knew he had won an award, she would definitely be happy!
Hence, Lanie this as an excuse to show Luca the certificate.
She would be happy to see it.
For parents, regardless of the size of the award, it was all about honor. It was something that filled them with pride.
"Really? Lanie, that's amazing!" Luca put down the workbook, took his certificate, opened it, glanced at the ranking, and smiled broadly.
Her son was truly amazing.
