"I have things to do tonight, and so does Luca," replied Luke. Aunt Neile must be tired after working for the whole day. Nina happened to be here. She could look after the kids so that Aunt Neile could get off work on time.

Nina narrowed her eyes. She was willing to look after the kids, but she became reluctant once those words came out of Luke's mouth.

If Luca was the one who asked her to help, Nina would be happy to do so. After all, the kids were well- behaved, and it would not be difficult to take care of them.

“What are you doing tonight?” Nina asked.

Luca heard Nina and looked at Luke. Why did she not know that she had something to do tonight?

Luke did not look at Nina. Instead, he looked at Luca and explained, “Marcos invited us and Tina for supper tonight.”

“Oh, Mr. Marcos invited us...” Luca nodded, but she had no idea about it before that.

"Fine," Nina mumbled in dissatisfaction.

Tommy raised his right hand as he would during classes and asked, "Daddy, I'd love to have supper too. Can I go with you?"

“No.” Luke rejected him heartlessly.

“Why?” Tommy was unconvinced. Was having supper something only adults could do?

"We'll be talking about work," Luke told him the reason.

“Children aren’t allowed to join. Besides, Daddy and Ms. Luca will be coming home late. You’re a sleepy head. You’ll get sleepy,” Lanie added. Lanie and Rainie were often brought along by Luke to attend business dinners when they were young. They knew how boring it was. Lanie and Rainie were not like Tommy, who wanted to follow Luke to business dinners.

It was boring!

Tommy had no choice but to put his hand down. He pouted and replied, "I'd like to grow up quickly and become an adult. That way, I can have lots of suppers too."
