Luca thought that if she helped Tommy to check his homework, then Luke could sign on the last page of the workbook after he came back.

That could relieve his burden just a little.

Tommy took candy out of his pocket as he watched Luca help him check his homework. He said, "Ms. Luca, this is for you."

Luca looked at the chocolate candy and stroked Tommy's head. “No, thank you. You can keep it for yourself. But don't forget you can only eat this after dinner.”

“Lizzie gave this to me. She told me that yummy candies should be given to our favorite people. So, I'm giving this candy to you, Ms. Luca." Tommy insisted on stuffing the candy into Luca's hands.

Even though Tommy loved eating chocolate candy, he insisted on giving it to Luca.

Luca smiled and asked after listening to Tommy, "Who's Lizzie?"

"She's my classmate. Her nickname is Lizzie," answered Tommy.

"I see. It seems like you're popular among your friends at school." Luca looked at the chocolate candy in her hands. Her child resembled Luke, so it was normal for him to already be popular among the girls at such a young age.

"But I don't like them. They keep following me, and I can't play with the others," said Tommy. He urged Luca, saying, "Ms, Luca, come on. Eat the candy and see if my love tastes sweet."

The kid had poured his affection for Luca into the candy, and Luca thought she would be wasting Tommy's effort if she did not eat it. Luca opened the wrapper and put the candy in her mouth. "It's sweet."

"Really? Love tastes like candy." Tommy was delighted. He smiled so happily that his eyes turned into adorable crescents.

"Yes, that's why Lizzie gave you the candy. Then Lizzie must be..." Luca teased him.

She was not afraid of exposing her kids to love matters. They were still young, after all.

Besides, it was not good for the kids if parents avoided talking about these things with them.

"Ms. Luca, what are you talking about?" Tommy interrupted Luca. "There's always snot hanging from Lizze's nose. It's ugly. I like pretty, gentle girls like Ms. Luca. And girls who are good at cooking."
