“Come in." Luca smiled. The bed in the master bedroom was big enough. Even if Tommy and Lanie slept here, the bed would be able to fit them.

"Thank you, Ms. Luca." Rainie stuck out her head and looked around. Then, she walked into the bedroom. She turned to look at Luke and asked, "Daddy, can I sleep here? I'm scared..."

Luke looked at Rainie. He knew she had always been timid. She had to sleep with someone else whenever she was in an unfamiliar environment.

The beds in Lanie's and Rainie's bedrooms were for children. Now that the kids had grown up, those beds were naturally a little too small for them.

Hence, Luke had no choice but to admit that his plans were ruined tonight. He said, "Sure. The bed is big enough for everyone."

"Thank you, Daddy!" Rainie gave him a sweet smile.

"Come here. Give me the pillow." Luca took the pillow Rainie was holding in her arms from her. She noticed that it was the pillow Rainie used when she was at home, and she brought it along with her. Luca's heart skipped a beat. Rainie was not like this when she was young. It seemed like the older she grew, the more insecure she was.

Luca placed her pillow in the middle of the bed and said, "It's late. Rainie. Go to sleep."

"Thank you, Ms. Luca." Rainie took off her slippers and climbed onto the bed. She lay down in the middle of the bed.

Luca noticed that Luke's face had turned gloomy. She reckoned that it was because Rainie was sleeping in the middle of the bed and Luke would not be able to cuddle with her.

Luca recalled Luke's overbearing behavior a moment ago. He did not give her any chance to reject him. However, he had no choice but to endure it in front of the kids. Luca could not help but feel a chill going down her spine. At the same time, she was also reflecting if she had taken things too far.

However, Rainie was their child. It was normal for them to do this. Thus, she said, "Go to bed first. I'm going to check on Lanie and Tommy."

Then, Luca walked out of the bedroom and closed the door behind her.

Luke stared at Rainie.

Rainie was staring at him too. She noticed that Luke seemed to be in a bad mood. Therefore, she asked, "Daddy, did I do something wrong?"

"No. Go to sleep." Luke covered her with the blanket.

His daughter was still young, so he could not blame her for this.
