Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1134

The footage from the surveillance cameras showed that Tommy was seen in the area. Jason had brought the bodyguards from Crawford Manor to look for him.

After Luca walked far away, she turned around to look at Jason and the bodyguards busy at work. She turned away and hastened back home.

Back at the apartment, Tommy had already woken up and washed his face. He was sitting in the living room, waiting for Luca to return.

When he saw Luca come in through the door, he exclaimed in surprise, jumped off the couch, and ran toward her. "You're back, Ms. Luca!"

Luca was holding things in both of her hands, and she had to close the door with her foot. Her heart warmed when she saw that the child was so excited to see her, and she led Tommy to the dining table. "You must be hungry. I bought a little bit of everything, so you can eat whatever you like."

She could not tell what Tommy liked to eat, so she took the extra effort to make sure that he received enough nutrition.

"I'll eat anything that you buy for me, Ms. Luca." Tommy looked at her while grinning. He sat on the chair while waiting for Luca to spread out the breakfast items.

"Really? Aren't you a picky eater?" Luca remembered that Tommy used to be very picky with his food. From how Tommy had relished the all-egg dinner the night before, she could tell that his dietary habits had changed drastically over the past three years.

"I'm not a picky eater," Tommy said, though his gaze subconsciously shifted to his left.

He was the pickiest eater in the Crawford household, but he was everything that Luca had prepared for him.

Luca noticed the mannerism, but she did not call him out.

She unpacked all the bags and put the food in front of him. "What do you want to eat?"

Tommy looked at the pastries. Old Master Crawford treated that as junk food and said that they were unhealthy for children. He had not eaten pastries for three years.

He pointed at the pastries. "Can I eat those, Ms. Luca?"

"Of course you can!" Luca handed the pastries to him. She had made sure that those were freshly made and not overnight items. "Here, have some soy milk too."

"Thank you, Ms. Luca!" Tommy took the food and began eating happily.

Luca ate the bread and drank the milk. After breakfast, she said, "I met a group of people on the street earlier. They looked like they're searching for you."

Tommy seemed surprised. He was worried that Luca might hand him to those people, so he said, "I'm sure that they're not looking for me, Ms. Luca."

"But they have your photo in their hands," Luca said deliberately to see if he wanted to go home.

If he did not want to stay there, she would send him back to Luke.

Seeing that he could not deceive Luca, Tommy could only say dejectedly, "I don't want to go home yet, Ms. Luca. Can't I stay here for a little longer?"

"Alright then." Luca could tell that Tommy was unwilling to go home yet. She patted his head and threw the empty bags away.

Tommy had expected that she would refuse. He opened his eyes wide and grinned. "You're so nice, Ms. Luca!"

"If you don't want to go home yet, I won't force you. I'll have to go to work next Monday though. You'll have to go home no matter what," Luca laid down the terms.

Tommy grinned and saluted her, "Yes, Ma'am!"

Luca cleaned the table and combed her hair. "Tommy, will you be okay if I leave you at home alone?"

Tommy clung to her and asked her, "Where are you going, Ms. Luca?"

"There's no more food in the fridge. I'll have to go to the supermarket." Luca took a recyclable shopping bag with her and prepared to buy more food. With a child living in her house, she had to buy food for two people.
