“Not many. Lanie, you should try." Tommy was worried Lanie would not allow him to eat the cookies, so he moved the plate toward him.

Lanie turned to look at Luca helplessly.

Luca could feel Lanie's gaze on her. She seemed to understand what he meant.

It was like Lanie was telling her, 'Look at your greedy little son...'

Luca cleared her throat and said, "Lanie, take a few of them. Leave the rest for tonight."

Lanie nodded and took three pieces of cookies.

Tommy was looking at them eagerly and asked, "Ms. Luca, can I take some too?"

Luca looked at the cookie crumbs on the corner of Tommy's lips, and the eager look on his face. It softened her heart.

She glanced at the plate, and she briefly knew how many cookies Tommy had eaten. If Tommy continued to eat the cookies, he would not be able to have dinner later, or he might be stuffed.

"Ms. Luca." Tommy tried to act cute again when he saw Luca not saying anything. He wanted to win another chance to eat more cookies.

Luca thought that it should be fine to let Tommy have another one or two. However, she met Lanie's gaze when she was about to say something.

Although Lanie did not say anything, Luca felt that he was reminding herself not to spoil Tommy.

Luca had no choice but to make up her mind and reason with Tommy, "Tommy, you've eaten quite a few cookies. I know you're hungry now, but if you keep on eating, you won't be able to have your dinner. Don't forget I'm the one making your dinner today."

Even though Tommy wanted more, he compromised instantly once he heard Luca telling him that she would be preparing dinner. He said, "Okay, Ms. Luca. I won't eat anymore."

The cookies were yummy, but Luca's home-cooked food tasted better.
