Luca smiled. Everyone said that Lanie resembled Luke the most.

Whether it was in appearance, personality, or intelligence, he asked this question in such a warm moment. She could not easily deceive him.

However, of course, she could not answer directly either. It was to avoid causing the children worry.

"Don't worry, whatever organization it is, Daddy and I can handle it. No need to worry. This situation is just temporary. We'll get it sorted out real quick. I hate that it's causing you trouble, and you're not able to call me 'Mommy' for the time being. But no matter what you call me, I'm still your mother, okay?" said Luca as she patted Tommy's head.

Lanie nodded. He was smart enough to understand that Luca did not want them to worry. That was why she did not go into details. Thus, he did not press on with further questions.

They were still young, and they could not share the burden of adults, so they could only listen to them.

Lanie believed that his parents would definitely resolve everything.

No bad guy could separate their family.

Tommy lifted his head and looked at Luca. A trace of innocence flashed across his eyes. "Mommy, can we call you 'Mommy' when we're alone?"

"We have to wait until everything is resolved. You're still young. It would be hard to explain if you slip up when others are around," explained Luca.

"Oh, I won't..."

Before Tommy could finish, Lanie, as the elder brother, said to his younger brother, "We have to listen to Ms. Luca. If you make a mistake when others are around, it'll be hard to explain. That'll be too troublesome.

"It's not just us in the house. There's Aunt Neile too. So, you'll have to listen to Ms. Luca."

"Oh, can't we tell Aunt Neile?" asked Tommy. He thought Aunt Neile knew about it too.

"Silly little brother, even though Aunt Neile is not a bad person, we can't trust anyone too much. That's why we can't let Aunt Neile know about this. If one more person finds out, it could bring some trouble for Mommy and Daddy," said Rainie.
