Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1017

Queenie held Rainie's hand and smiled. "Are you sure? I thought that we're eating out because you're tired of my cooking."

Jack coughed lightly and said, "You did mention that you were craving bouillabaisse yesterday."

Bianca was warmed by her parents' interaction. "Didn't Leia come along with you?"

Queenie explained, "Leia is busy making preparations for her wedding, so she couldn't come along."

Bianca nodded in understanding. "Luke reserved a private room for us. Do you want to join us for dinner?" She invited them.

"Is it a business dinner? Then we shouldn't disturb you," Jack said. He gently pinched Tommy's face; he was very fond of his youngest grandchild.

Bianca smiled and shook her head. "I wouldn't have brought the children along if it were a business dinner. It's just a normal family dinner. You should join us."

Tommy was happy to see a bigger crowd around the dining table. "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm also inviting you to join us!"

Jack and Queenie looked at each other and accepted the invitation. "Alright, alright, let's have dinner together."

They sat down around the dining table in the private room. A while later, Luke came in.

Bianca had already informed him by a message that she had met her parents at the hotel and had invited them to join in for dinner. That was why he was not too surprised.

"Dad, Mom," Luke greeted them and sat down next to Bianca.

"Where is Gordan?" Bianca asked. She thought that he would bring Gordan along.

"He went back to his hotel because he has some other business," Luke said. He did not tell her that he did not invite Gordan. After all, the dinner was supposed to be a private family affair.

The children had been traumatized by the incident in Crawford Manow, especially Lanie. He might seem fine on the surface, but he had fallen sick because of the shock.

Johann had told him that the family should spend more time together so that the children would recover faster.

"Who is Gordan?" Jack asked. He had never heard of that name.

"He's Luke's friend, and he's here to help with an investigation," Bianca explained while pouring a drink for Luke.

"Is he here to investigate the break-in at Crawford Manor?" Jack asked. He had asked his friend at the police department about the incident. The investigation was difficult because there were not enough leads.

That was why he could instantly guess that the investigation that Bianca had mentioned was about the break-in.

"Yes, Dad." Bianca nodded and took a sip of tea.

"Did Old Master Crawford say anything about the incident?" Jack was very concerned about the incident. The crime rate in A City was generally low, and the incident had created shockwaves.

After all, the Crawfords were quite prominent in A City. Now that a thief had broken into their mansion without leaving any traces behind, the other citizens were worried about their safety, and sales of high-tech security systems had soared recently.

Luke took a sip of tea from his cup. Before he got off work, he and Gordan had reviewed the security footage again and found a new lead.

"My grandfather has tasked me with the investigation," he replied.

"Let me know if you need any help," Jack said.

"Thank you, Dad," Luke said. He glanced at Bianca and took her hand that was under the table.

Queenie glanced at the couple and said, "We're a family now. You should let us know if you are faced with any difficulty. We wouldn't have known that Luke's brother's daughter was in the hospital if Jack's colleague hadn't informed him."

"I didn't want you to worry," Bianca said. She figured that they were busy with Leia's wedding, and it was best not to disturb them.
