Tommy's chubby smile instantly dropped.

He did not want to practice his handwriting!

However, he could not refuse Luca's request. It was usually Luke's sternness that would make him compromise, but Luca's gentleness also made it hard for him to say no.

"Alright, let's start tomorrow." Tommy remembered that he still had many books on his bookshelf that Old Master Crawford gifted him back then. It was the same for his siblings.

At that time, the kids were not told to practice, so other than Rainie, Tommy and Lanie had never touched those books.

Now, Tommy suspected that his mom and his great-grandpa schemed this together. Why else would he be gifted those books for practicing handwriting?

After pondering for a moment, he was about to say that he did not have the suitable materials.

"Tommy still has many empty copybooks," said Lanie.

Tommy's eyes widened. Of course, his brother would say that!

Luca smiled upon hearing that and said, "Great, we don't have to buy any, then. Let's do two pages every day starting tomorrow."

Tommy was a little annoyed. Why did he do his homework so sloppily just now?

If he had put in a little more effort, he would not have to practice his handwriting.

"Ms. Luca, how long do I have to do this for?" Tommy blinked his round eyes, trying to gain sympathy from Luca with his pitiful eyes to soften her heart.

"There should be at least 50 pages in a book, so let's do it for a month," Luca said decidedly. She did it hard-heartedly as she looked at the child acting pitiful.

It was for his own good.

One month!

Tommy pouted. The thought of filling up the entire copybook made him want to cry.

Rainie laughed at the sight of her brother's face and said, "I'll practice with you!"
