"Sit down. Let me get it for you," replied Luca. She did not put the snacks she made this morning at the usual spot where the children took their snacks.

Tommy nodded. He returned to the living room and sat on the sofa.

Rainie lifted her hand, tapped on Tommy's nose with her fingers, and laughed at him, "Tommy, you're a greedy little boy."

"I'm not. Ms. Luca makes good and tasty snacks.” Tommy stuck out his tongue.

"That's true. Ms. Luca makes the best snacks." Rainie nodded and agreed with him. She could not blame Tommy for being greedy. Their mother was too good at making their snacks.

Tommy nodded and replied, "Great-grandpa loves them too."

"Tommy, I don't like to eat snacks." Old Master Crawford shook his head and explained.

"But Great-grandpa, I heard you telling Mr. Griffin that you like eating Ms. Luca's homemade food. That's why you came here to have a taste of Ms. Luca's homemade food." Tommy tilted his head. He had heard what the old master told Mr. Griffin when they were talking.

Besides, he heard it loud and clear.

"That's not true," denied Old Master Crawford with a stern expression on his face. He would be embarrassed if the kids knew that he was craving Luca's homemade food.

"I heard it. Mr. Griffin asked you why you were coming here when Grandma had already left, and you told him that Ms. Luca's homemade food tasted good. You wanted to have a few meals before going back home. After all, there wouldn't be so many ignorant people coming to visit you this year." Tommy shook his head and said everything he heard.

Old Master Crawford cleared his throat awkwardly. Although everyone there was his closest family member, he was the eldest in the family. He felt awkward about getting exposed by a junior.

However, that was indeed what the old master had said. Tommy said everything exactly as it was.

Old Master Crawford was ashamed to let his juniors know that he was craving Luca's homemade food.

"Luca's homemade food does taste good." One sentence from Luke broke the ice.
