Tommy heard it and immediately exclaimed, "Ah!" He sounded a little annoyed.

"Rainie, why didn't you tell me last night? I want to sleep with Mo—Ms. Luca too!" He almost blurted out the word 'Mom'. He patted his chest and let out a quiet sigh of relief when he saw that no one was around.

Fortunately, no one heard him. It seemed that what their mother said yesterday made sense. They needed to be cautious.

"You almost said it out again." Rainie heard it clearly. "We need to be more careful."

Tommy stuck out his tongue and replied, "I got it, Rainie. I'm really jealous of you. You're Daddy's only biological child, aren't you?"

"What nonsense!" Rainie laughed, hugging a pillow as she walked back to her room.

"Daddy allowed you to sleep with them, but he never lets me sleep with Ms. Luca," grumbled Tommy, following her like a little duckling.

Even though he was a boy, he had always been a mama's boy since he was little.

However, their father always told him that he could not keep clinging to their mother all the time. He would end up as a mama's boy, and the other kids would tease him. Boys should be brave and sleep on their own. That way, they would grow up to be strong and independent young men.

Therefore, Tommy, even at a young age, had to choose between clinging to his mother and becoming a tough man.

Actually, their father did not give him a choice. If he showed any sign of wanting to cling to his mother, his father would pick him up and send him back to his room.

Their father had always been like this, insisting that the children slept on their own at night instead of sleeping with their mother.

Tommy could not help but feel even more bummed when he saw the smile on Rainie's face.

"Rainie, can you bring me along the next time you sleep with Ms. Luca? We'll each take one side." Tommy negotiated again.

Rainie wanted to tell him that unless their father was away on a business trip, there was no way she would have another chance to sleep with their mother.

However, when she saw the hopeful expression in her brother's eyes, she could not bring herself to crush his hopes. She nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll call you along next time."
