Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1146

Luca noticed that her heartbeat was accelerating. Luke, who used to be aloft, rarely looked at others like this.

He did not care about others. Engaging in simple conversations would already be a test of his patience.

He had always been someone others looked up to. He never lowered his gaze for anyone.

Luke frowned. ‘She thinks she would be disturbed by sending Tommy back?’

Luca knew him well.

In the past, he would launch a thorough investigation into her life, but now, he had no such intentions.

"What are you hiding?" Luke put his hands in his pockets, his deep-set eyes staring straight at her.

"I’m sure Mr. Crawford has had me investigated." Luca's expression was calm. Luke did not suspect a thing.

"I didn't ask anyone to investigate you," Luke said.

Luca was a little surprised, but it was not because she was afraid that he would find out anything about her. After all, Abel got a group of people to work meticulously to make sure that there was nothing about her that would raise suspicion.

She was just surprised that he did not investigate her.

Luca was taken back. ‘Maybe he didn’t launch an investigation because he regards me as an ordinary employee?’

Sometimes, she hoped that Luke would discover something during his investigation and dig further. Maybe he could find something...

"Why don't you want to be disturbed?" Luke asked.

Luca put on a smile that did not reach her eyes. "Does this question have to be answered?"

Luke realized that he had asked a stupid question, but whenever he came into contact with her, he would get a strange feeling. He just knew he wanted to continue talking with her.

It did not matter what they were talking about as long as he could listen to her voice.

"No," Luke said.

Hearing his answer, Luca's expression became serious as she said, "I didn't take your son in to get anything in return, so I didn't show my face. Since you’ve found out, just know that I do what I want to do. Helping your son was something that I wanted to do. I have no other intentions."

She had been around Luke for many years and knew him well. If she could not provide a logical explanation, she was afraid it would be even harder to explain in the future.

"Okay." Luke was inexplicably upset when he heard her reply.

‘She just wanted to help? She has no motives?’

"Also, Mr. Crawford, let's reduce the number of such private conversations in the future. I don’t want to be the topic of gossip," Luca said. Luke's actions had indirectly pushed her into the abyss.

Others would start making up stories in their heads.

She just wanted to work in peace and did not want to be looked at by others with ambiguous stares.

Luke was annoyed seeing that she wanted to draw a line between them. He squinted at the woman in front of him and said coldly, "There’s nothing between us to be gossiped about."

When Luca heard that, she took a deep breath.
