Tommy's round eyes blinked as he thought about Luca's words.

A few seconds later, he looked up and asked, “Ms. Luca, can't we go today?"

"Today?" Luca frowned slightly as she looked at him. They should be able to finish touring the zoo by evening time if they went after lunch, but the kids would be exhausted. Not to mention, they had a habit of taking naps in the afternoon.

"Ms. Luca, are you busy this afternoon?" Rainie looked at her and asked.

Luca shook her head and said, "No, I'm free, but if we go in the afternoon, you won't be able to take a nap. There are performances at night too. Aren't you afraid that you'll be too tired?"

"No, it's alright. We're full of energy!" Tommy took a bite of fruit and was very eager to go to the zoo with Luca.

If only their father could go with them.

Seeing how much the kids wanted to go, Luca could not say no. She nodded in agreement. "Alright, we'll go to the zoo in the afternoon."

Tommy was the only playful one out of the three children, whereas the other two were well-behaved. She could still handle the three kids on her own.

"Ms. Luca, let's ask Daddy to come with us," Tommy suggested.

Ask Luke?

Luca was taken aback as the thought of asking him never crossed her mind. Seeing how busy he was, she wondered if asking him to come along would make him fall behind on work.

"Your father probably has a lot of work to do," she said.

"I'll go ask him," said Tommy as he put down the toothpick and ran to the study before Luca could reply.

After a while, Tommy came back and happily said, "Ms. Luca, Daddy said that he's free this afternoon and can come to the zoo with us."
