Tommy''s round eyes blinked as he thought about Luca''s words.
A few secondster, he looked up and asked, “Ms. Luca, can''t we go today?"

"Today?" Luca frowned slightly as she looked at him. They should be able to finish touring the zoo by
evening time if they went after lunch, but the kids would be exhausted. Not to mention, they had a habit
of taking naps in the afternoon.
"Ms. Luca, are you busy this afternoon?" Rainie looked at her and asked.
Luca shook her head and said, "No, I''m free, but if we go in the afternoon, you won''t be able to take a
nap. There are performances at night too. Aren''t you afraid that you''ll be too tired?"
"No, it''s alright. We''re full of energy!" Tommy took a bite of fruit and was very eager to go to the zoo
with Luca.
If only their father could go with them.
Seeing how much the kids wanted to go, Luca could not say no. She nodded in agreement. "Alright,
we''ll go to the zoo in the afternoon."
Tommy was the only yful one out of the three children, whereas the other two were well-behaved.
She could still handle the three kids on her own.
"Ms. Luca, let''s ask Daddy toe with us," Tommy suggested.
Ask Luke?
Luca was taken aback as the thought of asking him never crossed her mind. Seeing how busy he was,
she wondered if asking him toe along would make him fall behind on work.
"Your father probably has a lot of work to do," she said.
"I''ll go ask him," said Tommy as he put down the toothpick and ran to the study before Luca could reply.
After a while, Tommy came back and happily said, "Ms. Luca, Daddy said that he''s free this afternoon
and cane to the zoo with us."
Of course, Luca was happy that she could take the kids out together with Luke.
However, Luca''s brows knitted at the thought of Myra''s face.
"Ms. Luca, are you not happy that Daddy can go?" Rainie noticed her expression and asked cautiously.
Did their mom dislike their dad?
Why did she seem not too happy?
“No, I''m just worried that we''re disturbing him." Luca shook her head.
Tommy smiled and said, "Dad told me this morning that we''re not disturbing him. He''s more than happy
to go."
Luca looked at him. Did he n all of this out with his father this morning?
"Tommy, did you n this with him this morning?" she asked.
Tommy rubbed the back of his head andughed awkwardly. "Daddy agreed this morning. Well, he said
that he''d go as long as you said yes."
Luca shook her head resignedly and took a sip of water. Then, she heard him say, "Dad also said that
we''re too yful, so you won''t be able to take care of the three of us alone. As long as you agree, he''ll
come with us."
Luca put down the ss. "I can handle the three of you."
Even if N returned, she was confident that she would be able to take care of four children. Besides,
Lanie and Rainie had grown up, so carrying Tommy in one hand and N in the other was still doable.
"Dad is just looking for an excuse to spend time with you. That''s what they call da... da..." Tommy could
not recall the word.
As his older sister, Rainie finished his sentence for him, "It''s called dating, idiot."
"Right, dating!" Tommy would usually refute whenever his older siblings called him an idiot, but right
now, he did not mind at all. Instead, he looked at Luca while grinning from ear to ear.
Luca blushed after hearing what the children said, and when she nced at the time, she said, "Alright,
let''s all go together. But you have to help me with something."
After saying that, she winked at the children.
The three kids exchanged nces with each other before Lanie asked, "Ms. Luca, what do we need to
do?"
"It''s simple. Your father is a man of the hour..." Before Luca could finish, she was interrupted by Tommy.
"Ms, Luca, what''s a man of the hour?"
"It means that he''s someone that would attract onlookers by just standing on the side of the road.
There may even be reporters taking pictures of him with cameras," Luca exined patiently.
Tommy nodded after he understood. "It''s not just reporters. I''ve seen some middle-aged women
secretly take pictures of Daddy with their phones before too."
"Yup, so he has to disguise himself. Think about it. When you go to the zoo, would you rather watch the
animals or have other people watch you?" Luca purposely exaggerated her words. Although Luke was
not a celebrity and would not be chased down by people for his signature, such a prominent figure like
him might cause somemotion in public.
Having his picture taken by women would not be a big issue, but Luca was worried that they would
upload those photos online.
If people like Myra saw her together with Luke and his kids, they might use this as leverage.
Tommy was still a kid, so Luca could easily influence him. When he thought that he would not be able
to see the animals and instead be watched by other people, he immediately said, "Ms. Luca, tell us
what we need to do!"
"You need to disguise your father." Luca knew that Luke did not enjoy disguising himself.
He did not like attracting attention, but he was born with such outstanding features that he had to put
on a good disguise.
“Ms. Luca, leave it to me!" Tommy patted his chest and excitedly turned to his older siblings. He said,
“Lanie, Rainie, how are we going to disguise Daddy?"
The child was a quick learner. He had already learned to use the word that Luca just told him.
Rainie rubbed her chin in deep thought.
Lanie was thinking too.
Seeing their faces, Luca could not help but let out augh. “It''s simple. He just needs to wear a mask
and a hat."
The three children nodded their heads one after another before standing up and running to the
bedroom.
Luca followed the children with a smile on her face.
The children did everything together. They took out a new mask from the medicine cab before
slowly walking to the master bedroom to take out a men''s baseball cap from the wardrobe.
The baseball cap was brand new andpletely different from the other clothes in the wardrobe. Luca
did not even know where the children found it, but she was certain that Luke had never worn this cap.
She did not think that Luke would have a cap like this in his wardrobe.
After finding the two props Luca mentioned, the three kids ran to the opposite bedroom and knocked on
the door. After hearing Luke''s voice, they opened the door and walked in, “Daddy!"
The three kids called Luke in unison.
Luke put down the documents and looked at the children. When he noticed that one of them was
holding a cap and another one was holding a mask, he frowned. “What are you..."
“Daddy, Ms. Luca agreed to let us go to the zoo, but you have to disguise yourself!" said Tommy.
