Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1156

However, when Luke heard Tommy's suggestion, he was suddenly interested in trying Luca's cooking.

He looked at Luca and asked her, "Would it trouble you?"

Luca was about to say that it would trouble her very much, but Tommy spoke before she could. "Ms. Luca says that it's okay as long as you agree."

"…" Luca was speechless.

The child was always faster than her.

"Alright, sorry to impose on you then," Luke said.

"…"

She felt as though the two were ganging up on her.

Cooking was not something hard for her, especially after Tommy stayed over in her house. She had regained her confidence in her cooking skills.

However, she hoped that Tommy and Luke would not come into contact with the other people from the Island of Despair.

She was afraid that Amur might give away something if he knew who Luke was, even though Amur might be worried about her.

She did not want to put Nyla in danger just to satisfy her selfish needs.

"Yay!" Tommy clapped his hands and cheered.

"I have something to tell you, Mr. Crawford." There was only one excuse left to keep them out of her house.

"Speak." Luke gazed at her. She did not know what Luke was thinking.

"My stove is broken, and I haven't found someone to fix it yet, so I can't cook," Luca said while kneading her hands. It was not very convincing, but it was a reason nonetheless.

If her stove was broken, he could not force her to cook.

Luke was about to say something when Tommy spoke first. "Huh? What brand is it, Ms. Luca? Why did it break so easily?"

Luca felt a little embarrassed, as though Luke and Tommy had seen through her lies. However, she could only tell more lies to cover up her previous one. "The stove belongs to my landlord. It might have broken because the previous tenant abused it."

Tommy nodded. He could think of many solutions just so that he could eat Luca's cooking. "Don't worry, Ms. Luca, you can come to my home and cook."

"Huh?" Luca did not expect Tommy to think of that. She shook her head and said, "That's not very convenient, isn't it? Don't you have a cook at home?"

"We don't have a cook at my house," Luke said. Crawford Manor had a cook, but his house did not.

Luca was taken aback. 'My house?

'Is it the one I'm thinking of?'

"Yay, this is great! You can come to my house and cook, Ms. Luca." Tommy clapped his hands, happy that his father was helping him.

Luca knew that she had run out of excuses. She would not be able to leave if she did not make dinner for Luke and Tommy. She could only nod and agree.

Luke nodded. "Pack up. We'll be leaving soon."

That line was spoken to both Tommy and Luca.

Tommy went to the couch and put the book in his backpack while Luca tidied up her desk and placed her research notes in the safe.

Every office was equipped with a safe so that no one else could steal the proprietary information. If any outsiders got their hands on the projects, the company would suffer huge losses.

Luca took off her lab coat and put on her jacket, wore her cap, and left with Luke and Tommy.

The three people walked toward the elevator. It was only the second day of operations, so many people had not started on their projects. Moreover, it was already way past office hours, so there was no one else in the Technical Department.
