Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1124

Luke followed him upstairs and knocked on the door.

"I'm sleeping." Tommy's childish voice came from within.

Luke's hand froze. Rainie could see that her father was distressed and told him, "Don't worry about Tommy. He'll forget about it by tomorrow morning."

Luke sighed and patted Rainie's head. His daughter always seemed sensible. "I have some more work to do. Please take care of your younger brother."

"Yes, Daddy." Rainie nodded.

Luke returned to the study. T Corporation had been expanding over the past two years, and his responsibility became greater and greater. He would work in the study every night.

After Luke left, Rainie knocked on the bedroom door. "Tommy, it's me, your sister. Let me in."

"I'm sleeping, Rainie," Tommy said.

Rainie was not sure how to react to that. "Don't you want Daddy to sleep with you tonight?"

"I can sleep by myself tonight, Rainie. I'm very sleepy!" While Tommy said that, he rummaged through his closet and found the biggest backpack.

When Rainie heard what Tommy said, she knocked on the door again.

Once again, Tommy did not open the door.

Rainie sighed and said, "Alright then, I won't disturb you. Sleep tight and see you tomorrow, Tommy."

Tommy brought a stool over, stood on it, and took out some of his clothes from the closet. He decided that he would run away from home so that his father would pay more attention to him!

After packing the clothes, he stashed some of his favorite books and snacks into the backpack. Then, he smashed his piggy bank and took out the money inside.

He lay on the bed after the preparations were done. All he had to do now was wait.

By three o'clock in the morning, everyone in Crawford Manor was sleeping.

Tommy gently pushed the door open and looked down the corridor. A sliver of dim yellow light shone from the door to the study that was ajar.

He tiptoed toward the study and peeked inside. Luke was sleeping on the sofa bed without turning the lights off.

Tommy chuckled to himself, returned to his bedroom, wore his backpack, and left Crawford Manor.

Crawford Manor was in a secluded location. Tommy walked along the road until he was exhausted. He tossed the backpack away and sat down on the ground, panting.

"This is so tiring." Tommy glanced at his backpack next to him. If he had known that it would be so exhausting to run away from home, he would have brought less things along with him. It was only after he left Crawford Manor that he did not know where he should go.

He crouched by the road and mumbled to himself, "Should I go home?"

Instantly, he shook his head and dismissed the idea. "No, I can't go home now. That would be very embarrassing!"

He hugged his backpack, leaned against the wall, and fell asleep.

There were no cabs on the road so late at night. He would leave in the morning instead!

The next morning, Tommy woke up and realized that a group of people were staring at him. He rubbed his eyes, looked at the adults surrounding him, and asked, "What are you all looking at?"
