"Ms. Luca, I like you as much as Tommy and Rainie do. I want your concern and love as well," Lanie said in a serious tone when he noticed Luca's guilty

expression.

Lanie was not always a light sleeper.

Lanie's sleep quality became poorer and poorer after Bianca's impostor moved to Crawford Manor.

Back then, the impostor was trying to play the role of a good mother.

However, there were no blood ties between them. No matter how hard Lanie tried to convince himself, he always felt that something was wrong. That was why he would wake up whenever the impostor tried to enter his bedroom to tuck him in.

He would also often hear loud noises in the middle of the night back then. That was when his sleep routine underwent a drastic change.

Luca blinked her eyes. She was a little surprised. Lanie's personality resembled Luke's. He normally would not say such things.

Luca walked toward Lanie's bed and sat down. "Lanie, why?"

"It's because you're a gentle person. We can feel the warmth of a mother when you care for us," answered Lanie. He told Luca about the vulnerabilities in his heart. "Ms. Luca, we only had Daddy and Great-grandpa in our lives before you showed up. We were envious of other children for having a mother by their side. It was until you came into our life that we didn't have to be envious of other children anymore."

Luca's gaze turned gentle when she listened to what her son said.

It was because she was their mother.

"Alright. I'll pay more attention when I open the door next time so that I won't disturb you. It's safe here. You don't have to worry that something bad will happen. Get some rest." Luca stroked Lanie's head.

Lanie nodded. The usual cool expression on his face turned into a shy smile.

Luca tucked Lanie in when he lay down on the bed. "Goodnight, Lanie.”
