章 733: I'll see you in Spade

[Back in the residence]

"Good night, Law." Lilou smiled at Law after tucking him in. She just finished one story for him, brushing his hair with her fingers gently. 

"Good night, Mother." Law smiled back, holding the end of the quilt over his shoulder. Lilou was wearing a smile on her face, but for someone who had always looked at his mother, Law was able to discern the difference. 

"Is there something wrong, Mother?" he asked without beating around the bush, making her brows raise. "You can tell me if something is bothering you."

Her eyes and smile grew gentle. "Do I worry too much before as well? How can you be so mature at your age?"

"Mother never worries me, but I know when she's upset."

"You..." A shallow breath slipped past Lilou's lips. "I feel ashamed that my ten-year-old son is offering his ears to listen to my dilemma."
