Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1020

Leia endured her fear, and with his sharp gaze locked on her, she nodded.

When a knock suddenly sounded from her door, Leia was shocked. She looked at the door and was not sure if she had locked it just now. "Yes?"

Queenie's voice came from outside. "Leia, why are your lights still on at this hour? Why aren’t you asleep?"

"Mom, I just took a shower and I’m going to bed soon." Leia turned her head and looked at Wayne warily. He was still holding a knife in his hand.

She was afraid that he would lose control and rush out to stab Queenie. She could not afford for that to happen. At least, not yet.

Queenie's voice sounded again from outside. "Okay, sleep tight! Remember to blow dry your hair before you go to bed so you won’t catch a cold."

"I will, Mom. Good night!" Leia could not relax for fear that Wayne would act irrationally.

Queenie headed to the master bedroom after she heard Leia’s reply.

Leia's nerves relaxed slightly when she heard the sound of footsteps going farther and farther away.

She squeezed a smile at Wayne and touched her belly with her hands. "Wayne, I’m not trying to do anything. I'm just worried about you. You’re the father of the child in my belly. I don’t want anything to happen to you."

Wayne looked at her bulging belly. It was his child inside. He carefully looked into Leia’s eyes and did not see fear or reluctance in them.

Leia had already concealed her true emotions.

Wayne's gaze softened as he said, "I'll be fine. Take care of yourself and my baby. Eat more."

After he said that, Wayne walked toward the balcony and jumped down the railing.

Leia breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed on the bed the moment Wayne left her room. After she thought about it, she walked to the balcony and looked down. Wayne's figure had disappeared into the night and could no longer be seen.

The security system of Norman Residence was not triggered.

Leia was speechless at the useless alarm system that cost more than 100,000 dollars. She began plotting on how to stop Wayne.

She picked up the phone and called Hera Sanchez.

It was midnight, and Hera was out singing and dancing. Leia could hear that Hera was having fun and went straight to the point. "I now have an excuse to ask Bianca out, but you have to do something for me."

Hera walked to a quiet corner and raised her brows. "That won’t be a problem, but it’ll cost you."

"I’ll play my part in asking Bianca out for you. If you had the ability, you would have taken care of her a long time ago. Why would you need me to help you?" Leia listened to the other party’s words and said with disdain, "As long as you can get it done, I’ll be sure to pay you handsomely."

"Give me some information before I agree to anything. I can’t blindly do as you say." Hera lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said.

"Do you know Wayne Blatt?" Leia asked.

"Wayne Blatt? The name sounds familiar." Hera frowned.

"The second son of the Blatt family. Do you know who I’m talking about now?" Leia would not be in this state if she was not afraid of the Blatts and the evidence in Wayne's hands.

Of course, Bianca was to blame too.

"Oh, I’ve heard of him. Isn't the Blatt family as good as gone?" Hera was well-informed about the major events in A City. The worst part was that the Blatts did not even know who did it to them.
