@roger,
Hi roger,
yes, your answer is correct but I cannot understand. Because I thought I shouldn't put any preposition in front of homes.

The preposition is not in front of home, it is in front of your. You would only omit the preposition if you were speaking of your own home. "I decided to bring my laptop home." However, "I decided to bring the laptop to his home."

@Loh Jane,
Although not particularly pertinent to this sentence, it reminds me of the difference between American English and English regarding writing letters.

We use the word to when discussing writing letters Americans leave it out.

American; 'Write me.'
British; 'Write to me.'

Both mean the same thing, basically write a letter to me.
