Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1161

Tommy skipped into the living room, and Bianca walked toward him and said gently. "You're back home so late, Tommy. Are you hungry?"

Tommy could sense the reluctance in his mother's voice. He shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry."

Bianca smiled. She was already used to Tommy's coldness toward her. She then turned to Luke and said, "I've saved some chowder for you, Luke. I'll heat it up for you."

"Don't worry about it, Bea. I had a big dinner," Luke said. He had eaten a lot in the meal earlier, but he did not tell Luca or Tommy.

"Ah…" Bianca glanced at Tommy, who was already heading up the stairs. She continued, "Alright then. You must be tired. I'll go and prepare the bathwater for you, then you can take a bath and sleep."

Luke was not really convinced by the concern Bianca showed him. "It's fine, Bea. I still have some work to do. If you're tired, you should go to bed first."

Bianca maintained the smile on her face even though Luke had refused her offer. She had already expected Luke to refuse.

She went up to him and hugged him. "Alright then. You shouldn't sleep so late though. Also, try to come home for dinner. I'd be worried if I don't see you or Tommy."

Luke's profound gaze landed on her face and paused there. "Okay," he said.

"I'll go and throw away the soup in the kitchen. It'll smell if I leave it overnight," Bianca said gently.

"Mm." Luke nodded and went upstairs.

Bianca went into the kitchen and opened the door of the microwave. There were two bowls of chowder inside. One was for Luke, and the other was for Tommy.

She took a bowl out and threw the contents into the trash can. As she watched the gooey droplets trickle from the bowl, her expression gradually turned vicious.

She had given her heart to Luke, but Luke had ignored her!

Bianca remembered that she smelled the scent of perfume on Luke when she hugged him. The perfume belonged to another woman!

She had honed her sense of smell on the Island of Despair. Even though the scent was very faint, she could tell that it was not car perfume but the perfume of a woman.

Moreover, she had never caught that scent on him before.

Bianca's grip on the bowl slowly tightened. The veins bulged on the back of her hand. It was an ugly sight.

Rainie happened to step into the kitchen and witness that scene. She was shocked. "Mommy?"

Bianca came to her senses and quickly hid her vicious expression. She smiled at Rainie and said, "Yes, Rainie?"

"It's nothing." Rainie shook her head. She had wanted to take a glass of water in the kitchen, but she did not expect to see that vicious side of Bianca.

The suspicion in her heart grew. Was the woman in front of her really her mother?

Previously, her mother would not have that expression on her face even if she were really angry. Earlier, she thought that her mother had become an ugly witch that ate little children for breakfast.

Bianca placed the bowl in the sink and said, "It's already so late. Why aren't you in bed yet?"

"I want a glass of water." Rainie came to her senses and poured herself a glass of water. Even though Bianca's expression had returned to normal, she still felt afraid.

When Bianca saw Rainie gulp down the glass of water, she stepped up to her and wanted to pat her head.

Rainie instinctively dodged.

"Rainie?" Bianca pretended to look hurt, though she was wondering if Rainie had seen her expression earlier.

Rainie smiled to try to hide her fears. "I'm going to bed, Mommy. Good night."
