Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1078

Nina was stunned when she saw that Percy had poured all the eggs into the pot. She stirred it with a ladle, covered the pot, and turned around to prepare the toast.

The toast she prepared previously was only enough for her.

Percy crossed his hands in front of his chest. The sight of her preparing breakfast while wearing an apron brought an unprecedented surge of warmth to his heart.

Nina was preparing the salad and picked up her pace when she noticed his scorching gaze. She asked, "Is there any news on Bea?"

Although she woke up late, she knew that Percy had gotten up and left after answering a call. She heard him mention Bianca and Xavier Tanner.

"No." Percy shook his head, and his gaze shifted to the bowl full of washed cherries.

He stretched out his hand, picked two, and plopped them into his mouth. The cherries were big and sweet. They were delicious.

Nina wanted to say something but hesitated.

When Percy noticed her expression, he raised her eyebrows and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Those are for Kari and Teri." Nina was a little puzzled as Percy did not usually enter the kitchen nor eat fruits. He was acting a little abnormally.

To be specific, Percy was acting more and more abnormally.

"Jason Doyle's daughters?" Although Percy was indifferent to these kinds of things, he had heard about the twins due to Jason's tormenting ex-wife who had done a lot of absurd things.

"Yeah, Kari and Teri were clamoring for cherries yesterday." The water in the pot was boiling. Nina took out two large plates and put them aside. She then picked up the ladle, lifted the lid, and scooped the eggs out.

"Are you still taking care of the kids?" Percy asked.

"Kari and Teri don't have to go to school for these two days, and the babysitter is occupied, so Sue had to bring them to work." Nina was not sure why she was explaining so much to Percy, but she still told him everything.

‘Didn’t she say that she isn’t a fan of kids? Why is she still helping Sue take care of them, then?’ Percy thought to himself.

He asked, "I thought you don’t like kids?"

Nina was not sure how to react.

She put the salad aside, chaotically toasted some more bread, and then put them on two separate plates.

Nina knew that Percy had a large appetite, so she deliberately put more slices of toast on his plate before she topped the salad off with her special sauce.

The recipe was shared with her by Anna.

Nina's heart sank when she thought of how Anna was in the hospital waiting for surgery. Anna had decided to undergo a liver transplant, but there was no suitable donor for her. Nina’s were not a match, so the only option was to wait for Sean to get out of prison before they could proceed with the transplant.

Sean had about half a year left to serve in prison, but after considering Anna’s condition, the court reduced his sentence. Sean would be released in half a month.

When that time came, she was not sure whether she would be happy or sorrowful.

The breakfast prepared by Nina wafted with a tempting aroma that excited Percy. As he stared at the plates of breakfast on the kitchen island, all he could think of was when he could eat.

Nina took out a tray and wanted to put the plates on the tray before serving them.

Percy stepped forward and said, "I'll do it."

He picked up the two plates with both hands. Nina was worried that they were too hot to hold. She held the tray and suggested. "Let’s place them here?"

"No worries." Percy walked out holding the plates without a bother in the world.

Nina placed the tray back, picked up some utensils, and headed out.

Percy was already sitting at the dining table. There were two steaming plates of eggs on toast on the table. There were blooming lilies in the vase on the table. The fragrance of the flowers and the aroma of the food stimulated her senses.

Nina sat on the chair and handed him a set of utensils.
