Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 109

"I'll be going later. He hasn't gotten off work yet." While Bianca said that, one minute had passed and the microwave oven dinged.

Luke stood behind her about a meter away while he thought about the way Bianca talked about the guy.

The guy represented another man who was about to enter her life.

Bianca did not dare to overthink it because she was afraid that her emotions would get out of control. Therefore, she made herself focused on making the mac and cheese.

It was the method of cooking that she learned online.

After the timer was up, she tore open another pack of seasoning and put it in the bowl.

She stirred it a little and put it back in the microwave for two more minutes.

When the two minutes were up, she took out the bowl, beat in the cheese, and put it into the microwave for another minute again.

Luke, who stood behind her the whole time, suddenly started daydreaming that they were newlyweds and that she was his new wife who was cooking food for her husband. In his daydream, even though his wife was busy, she would go home at noon to make him a meal.

Bianca put all her focus on making the mac and cheese.

It was not the usual way of making instant mac and cheese.

After the one minute was up, she took out the bowl and gently stirred in the cheese.

After the cheese was stirred in, she put it in the microwave for the last time.

It took another minute.

As she waited patiently for one minute, she felt the man behind her standing very close to her. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable.

When she turned off the microwave and took out the bowl, her fingers touched the hot microwavable bowl.

She instinctively furrowed her brows and retracted her fingers.

"Where did you burn yourself?"

As the man said that, a pair of big hands grabbed both of her hands suddenly.

Bianca turned her body and retracted her hands back. "It's okay, it wasn’t very hot."

Luke frowned and had to let go of her.

The nanny panicked when she realized Bianca was not wearing the mittens. She pretended to be busy with something, but it was because she was the one who forgot to give her the mittens. However, Luke managed to get the bowl out with a kitchen cloth.

"Pour it into an insulated bowl," Bianca said while nervously watching his hands that were not afraid of getting burnt.

Luke's fingers were angular, pale, long, and strong. When she saw them, she could not move her eyes away. So much so that she could feel his breath making her heart skip.

"Your mac and cheese is done. If that's all, I'm afraid I'll have to leave first."

After Bianca said that, she left the kitchen and walked to the bedroom.

She took her backpack and said goodbye to the two little kids.

"Aunt Bea, are you leaving?"

Blanche could not believe it. Before he got an answer, he asked again, "Is my dad bullying you? I can get him to stay in the office and not come back."

Bianca smiled helplessly while she comforted the little guy. "He's your daddy while I'm not related to you."

"Then you should just be a member of our family. Can you get married to my daddy so that you can be my mommy? Or maybe you can get Grandma to adopt you as her daughter so that you'll be able to stay in my house," Blanche said naively.

After Bianca heard Blanche's words, her mind twitched.

How could it be possible for Allison to adopt her? She was already her biological mother. She knew it was an impossible feat to get Allison to acknowledge her as her daughter in this lifetime.

As for what the little guy said about getting married to Luke, it was also impossible.

"Rest well. I'll find another time to visit you." After Bianca said with a smile, she turned around and left the manor with a sad face.

When she went downstairs, she opened the main entrance and tried to leave everything behind again.
