Chapter 980 Her Mind Was Full of Thoughts of Him
Tommy flopped over, though his eyes remained closed as he mumbled," I'm not going anywhere today,Mommy. I only want to sleep."
Bianca was at a loss of what to do. Her son looked too adorable, and she could not bear to wake himup.
Tommy had slept for nine hours since the night before, and he already had slept enough. Biancaopened the closet and took out Tommy's day clothes.
Her phone started ringing. Bianca put her son's clothes away and answered the call.
"Bea." Luke's voice was heard on the other end of the call.
Bianca was surprised; she did not look at the call notification before answering it. "Aren't you flyingyet?" "Not yet," Luke replied. "Is Tommy awake?" "He hasn't," Bianca said helplessly. She could notpersuade him, but the little boy was too young to be punished. It seemed as though only Luke coulddeal with Tommy.
"Turn on the speaker." Luke had guessed that Tommy did not want to wake up, which was why hemade the call.
Bianca did what she was told and put the phone closer to the bed. ” Tommy, your Daddy has somethingto tell you." "Mm," Tommy replied but did not move.
Luke's voice was heard over the phone speaker. "It's time to wake up, Tommy." His tone was stern,unlike the gentle tone that he used earlier.
Bianca did not expect the simple sentence to have any effect, but Tommy suddenly opened his eyesand looked at Bianca. "Where's Daddy?" "He's talking to you on the phone." Bianca wagged the phonein her hand.
Tommy sat up instantly. "Are you up yet?" Luke asked again.
"I'm up," Tommy replied obediently.
Bianca was impressed that Luke's voice was so effective. Perhaps she should record his voice and useit as a morning alarm.
Luke continued speaking, "Tommy, Daddy will be away on a business trip for the next few days. You'llhave to listen to Mommy. Don't be a picky eater, and wake up early. Understood?"
Tommy began to pout. Bianca thought that he was about to cry when he instead said, "Yes, I know, badDaddy!" "I'll bring you to the theme park when I come back. Be a good boy and take care of Mommy,"Luke said. He could not see his son, but he could guess that Tommy was reluctant.
He and Bianca did not have the habit of sleeping in, so he wondered if Tommy learned it from someoneelse.
Tommy was happy when he heard that. He clapped his hands and said," Yay! I'll wait for you to comeback, Daddy."
Bianca heard the flight announcement on the other end of the call. She brought the phone close to herear and said, "Looks like you'll be taking off soon." "Mm." Luke looked outside the window. The planewas beginning to taxi.
It would be a long flight across the country. If Bianca were around, the flight would not be as boring.
"Have a safe flight. Call me when you land," Bianca said softly.
"Mm, alright," Luke replied.
"Bye." Bianca ended the call. Suddenly, she realized that her mind was full of thoughts of him, eventhough he had not been gone for a few hours.
She composed herself after Tommy got out of bed. She picked up the clothes at the side and asked,"Do you want to wear this outfit today, Tommy?" "Alright, Mommy!" Tommy nodded and yawned.
Bianca helped him change, took his hand, and led him into the bathroom.
Tommy picked up his little toothbrush and said, "I can do it myself,
Mommy."
Bianca smiled, nodded, and let Tommy be alone in the bathroom.
After Tommy brushed his teeth, Bianca brought Tommy downstairs and brought out his breakfast.
Rainie and Lanie had finished breakfast. They sat at the dining table, watching Tommy eat ravenously.
He wanted to pick out the carrots from his food when Lanie reminded him, "Daddy said that youshouldn't be a picky eater."
Tommy pouted. The two other pairs of eyes watch him finish all the carrots.
Lanie nodded in satisfaction. He looked like a miniature version of Luke. Bianca could not help butcover her mouth and smile.
"Mommy, are you going to Grandma's house today?" Rainie asked.
"Mm, I'm planning to deliver the cross stitch to them.” Bianca nodded. Jack had been complaining thathe missed the three children, so she wanted to bring all of them along.novelbin
Rainie loved Jack and Queenie but did not like Leia. She did not want to go to the Norman residencebecause she would meet Leia there. "Can I not go, Mommy?" She asked.
Bianca was surprised, though she was curious to find out why. "Why don't you want to go?" "I want togo to ballet class instead," Rainie said. Ms. Shannon said that she could go to class anytime.
When Lanie heard that, he also said, "I'd like to go to my German class today, Mommy."
Bianca looked at the twins. She was happy that they loved to learn, but she had not heard themmention the classes before.
"Lanie, Rainie, why do you want to go to classes suddenly?" Bianca asked sternly.
Lanie and Rainie exchanged glances at each other and said nothing.
"Tell me why you don't want to go to visit Grandma. I'll let you go to your classes if it's reasonable."Bianca could tell that the twins were hiding something from her.
Finally, Lanie stood up and said, "We don't like Aunt Leia, Mommy. Every time we go to Grandma'splace, we'll always meet her."
Bianca instantly understood that Leia was the reason why the twins did not want to go.
Back then, Leia nearly became their stepmother. Bianca could understand if the children did not feelcomfortable around Leia.
"Grandpa and Grandma said that they miss you. Wouldn't you want to meet them?" Bianca said. Leiahad been resting at home because of her mental condition, and there was no avoiding her.
Rainie shook her head. "We want to, but Aunt Leia is scary."
She remembered that time when Leia glared at her when no other adults were around. Her gazelooked like that of the wicked witch in a fairy tale.
Lanie said, "Mommy, if Grandpa and Grandma miss us, they can come and visit us anytime. Aunt Leiascared Rainie last time, and she had nightmares for two days."
Bianca patted Rainie's head. "Really?"
Rainie nodded. She did not tell her mother about that because Leia was her mother's sister, but shetold her elder brother because she was afraid.
"Alright, I'll send you to your classes, then I'll go to Grandma's house. I’ll pick you up in the afternoon,alright?" Bianca was not going to force them to go.
"Thank you, Mommy!" Rainie smiled happily.
Bianca looked at Tommy, who was still eating. "What about Tommy then?" "Tommy isn't afraid of AuntLeia. Aunt Leia doesn't scare him," Lanie said.
Tommy was still young and did not know what fear was. Moreover, Leia hated crying children. If Tommycried because of her, she would have to coax him, and her parents might scold her. That was why shemostly ignored Tommy.
Bianca made a mental note of that. After Tommy finished breakfast, she cleaned up, sent Lanie andRainie to their classes, and brought Tommy to the Norman residence.
