Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1126

Luca's heart melted when she heard that childish voice. When she turned to look at Tommy, she was immediately stunned.

"You…" She could not make a sound, as though a fish bone was stuck in her throat.

The hooligans saw that she was standing there in a daze. They dared not provoke her again, and instead, they quickly got to their feet and left the scene.

Luca did not care about the hooligans. She stared at the little child in front of her.

It had been two years, but she could instantly tell that the little boy in front of her was Tommy, her son…

"What's wrong, Miss?" Tommy was wondering what the lady was thinking. Even though she had defeated the hooligans so violently, he was not afraid of her at all. In fact, when he held her hand, he thought that the feeling was somewhat familiar.

"Nothing." Luca came to her senses and took his hand.

He was much taller and bigger. Even his hand in her palm felt bigger.

Luca felt a little emotional when she thought that she had missed out on Tommy's growing years. She thought of finding out the school her children were in so that she could look at them from a distance.

She did not expect to meet Tommy here.

"Do you know me, Miss?" Tommy asked her when he noticed that tears were welling up in her eyes.

"I don't." Luca shook her head instinctively. Tommy had another mother now. She could not possibly tell him that she was his real mother.

Tommy was still young, and he would not understand.

There were many things that she had to keep to herself.

"Are you sure you don't know me, Miss? I thought you looked familiar. I might have seen you somewhere before." Tommy smiled brilliantly and leaned close to her.

Luca saw that Tommy's face and clothes were dirty. She patted his head and asked him, "Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"

"I don't have parents," Tommy said.

Luca was surprised. Why would he say that?

"Every child has their parents. You must have your parents too," she tried to communicate with Tommy patiently.

"Miss…" Tommy frowned. It looked like the lady was not as easily convinced as those people earlier.

"I like children who are honest. If you tell me the truth, I'll buy you breakfast," Luca said.

Tommy's stomach growled. He sighed and said, "Alright, Miss, I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone else."

Luca nodded. "I promise I won't tell anyone else."

They were very far from Crawford Manor, and there must be a reason why Tommy appeared alone there. She had to find out the reason.

"Daddy doesn't love me anymore, and he scolds me even though it's Mommy's fault. That's why I'm running away from home," Tommy explained the reason briefly.

Luca felt sorry for him. She knew that the boy was hungry, so she did not ask any more questions. She poked his nose and said, "I live nearby. Do you want to eat at a cafe, or shall I make breakfast for you?"

"I want to eat your cooking, Miss!" Tommy's eyes were sparkling. Even though he had been told not to trust strangers, he did not think that the woman in front of him was a stranger. In fact, he thought that she was not a bad person.

Luca shook her head helplessly and brought Tommy back to her apartment.

Tommy looked around at the cramped apartment. It was totally unlike Crawford Manor, but he had the inexplicable urge to stay there.
