Lanie pinched Tommy''s face and corrected him, "Daddy was afraid that we would catch a cold."


    "Yeah, don''t me it on Daddy," Rainie chimed in.


    "Hmph, both of you stood at the door and waited with me yesterday. Why are you siding with Daddy


    today?" Tommy said, dissatisfied. He liked his Mommy better. After all, their mommy was much more


    gentle than Daddy.


    Luca smiled and looked at the kids with her gleaming eyes.


    "Okay, my young masters and youngdy, that''s enough. Let''s go have some breakfast." Aunt Neile


    looked at Luca and said, "Ms. Craw, you must be hungry. You didn''t have much of the oats that I


    prepared for you yesterday. Do you want to eat oats or noodles today?"


    "Oats, please." Luca decided. Her mouth tasted bitter because of the medicine.


    "Okay, give me a minute." Aunt Neile walked into the kitchen, brought them breakfast, and ced the


    specially prepared oats in front of Luca.


    "Dr. Park said you need to eat more nutritious food, so I made oats and added some nuts on top so


    that it would be tastier. Ms. Craw, eat it while it''s hot. The nuts taste best when they''re a little crispy."


    "Thank you." Luca enjoyed the aroma of the oats and realized that she was hungry.


    After all, she only had a bowl of oats to eat since the previous day. No matter how much she ate on a


    daily basis, a bowl of oats was far from enough.


    Luca quickly finished the bowl of oats and headed into the kitchen for another.


    When she saw that, Aunt Neile said with a smile, "Eat more. When your appetite increases, your body


    will recover faster."


    "Aunt Neile, the oats you made are so fragrant. I''ll eat them for lunch as well. I don''t feel like eating


    anything else," Luca said. She did not intend to help Aunt Neile cook.


    With her current body, even if Aunt Neile agreed to help her, she would not dare.


    She still had germs in her body and did not want the food she cooked for children to be a medium of


    infection.


    "Okay, no problem. I''ll make you anything that you want to eat!" Aunt Neile said. She liked Luca from


    the bottom of her heart.


    When she was a maid at Crawford Manor, every mistress had been arrogant to her. If she was a little


    careless, she risked being fired at any time.


    However, Luca had a good personality, high education, good looks, and a great attitude. Luca was


    always very sympathetic to Aunt Neile. As such, she liked Luca very much.


    "I just want oats. Please check what Lanie and the others want to eat and cook them whatever they


    want," Luca said. She thought of Luke and asked, "Will Mr. Crawford be home for lunch today?"


    "Mr. Crawford seems to be very busy. He said he won''t be back for dinner, but he left a message." Aunt


    Neile replied with a smile.


    "What did he say?" Luca was a little curious.


    "Sir told me to keep an eye on you and make sure that you''re eating enough." Aunt Neile cheerfully


    ced some nuts on her porridge oats bowl and said, "You''re the person that Mr. Crawford worries


    about most."


    "Nah. I''m going to have my oats now." Luca blushed, walked out of the kitchen, and sat on a chair.


    Tommy was two seats away from her but could see the flush on Luca''s face.


    He remembered that Luca''s face was the same when she was feeling ufortable the day prior. He


    suddenly became worried and asked, "Ms. Luca, your face is so red. Do you have a fever again?"


    "Huh?" Luca touched her face only to realize that it was a little warm.


    However, the warmth that she was feeling was different from the warmth she felt when she had a fever.


    She was blushing because of what Aunt Neile said...


    When she had a fever, the skin all over her body was hot. As such, she was sure that she did not have


    a fever. She shook her head and said, "I''m okay. It''s not a fever. The temperature in the kitchen is a


    little high, so it''s a little hot. I''ll be fine in a while."


    After that, she remembered what Luke told Aunt Neile. She hurriedly lowered her head and ate the


    oats.


    "Is Ms. Luca really all right?" Tommy looked at his brother worriedly.


    "She''s blushing. She doesn''t have a fever." Lanie was a smart little kid. He could tell at a nce that


    Luca was just blushing and it had nothing to do with her being sick.


    Tommy trusted Lanie. At the same time, he said impatiently, "Brother, why do you know everything?!"


    "I''ve told you to read more books. Reading books can increase your knowledge." Lanie nced at his


    brother. Although he was younger than them, he and Rainie liked to read books when they were his


    age.


    In stark contrast, Tommy''s favorite pastime was ying puzzle games and watching cartoons.


    He waspletely different from the twins.


    He would have thought that Tommy was adopted if their Mommy was not watched by a lot of people


    and Tommy looked more and more like their daddy the older he got.


    "I do read. I''ll readter," Tommy said immediately.


    "You''d better read the whole book. I''ll reward you if you finish it," Lanie looked at his brother, pursed his


    lips, and said coolly.


    All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    "Okay, Brother. Remember what you said. You''re a bad guy if I don''t get my reward after I finish a


    book!" Tommy''s eyes lit up when he heard the word ''reward''.


    Luca listened to their conversation but did not get involved.


    It was also a kind of happiness to listen to them talk without saying a word.


    After breakfast, Tommy did what he said and took Lanie by the hand before they went upstairs.


    New Year''s was approaching, and the weather has not been the best. Hence, all the extracurricr


    activities they signed up for had been suspended.


    As such, the kids did not have to go to school.


    Tommy was the happiest about not having to go to school. He thought he could enjoy some time off,


    but Tommy did not dare to make a fuss yesterday because Luca was sick. He took the initiative to read


    when he was triggered by Lanie.


    The three children were reading upstairs, and Luca was left alone.


    She sat in the living room watching the news reports.


    When it was time for entertainment news, she saw that news that Leia was sick had broken out.


    Luca could not help but frown.


    ''The Normans had always kept a low profile. How did the reporters know that Leia is sick?''


    Luca watched the news. Although Leia used to be a star, the TV channels did not seem to be very


    interested in her being sick. News about her was mentioned in a hurry before they quickly moved on to


    talk about thetest developments in a pop star and his new girlfriend.


    Luca smiled.


    Aunt Neile walked to her with a fruit bowl and put it in front of Luca. "Ms. Craw, eat some fruits. They''re


    rich with vitamins."


    "Okay, thank you, Aunt Neile." Luca thanked her. She thought of the three children who were reading


    books upstairs and said, "Aunt Neile, please bring some fruits and other snacks to Lanie and the others


    so that they would have something to snack on as they read."


    "It''s all ready. I''ll send it to themter," Aunt Neile replied. She praised Luca in her heart for being so


    kind to the children.


    If she had not caught a cold, she would have been upstairs reading with the children.
