Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1170

"Madam felt uncomfortable after dinner so she went to rest early," the caretaker replied.

"Okay." Luke nodded, walked to the second floor, and gently pushed open the door of the master bedroom. It was dark inside and it seemed that Bianca had gone to bed.

He did not wake her up. He just closed the door and walked to the study.

Bianca, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes. She turned around and looked at the closed door while flashing a chilling smile.

If it were before, she would have made a lot of noise after seeing the news, but she could not afford to do that right now.

What she had to do was to give Luke some time to manage the situation, and at the same time, she had to make herself seem magnanimous.

Bianca used to be like this, so she had to act as such too.

The more she acted like this, the deeper Luke's guilt toward her would become.

Bianca took out her phone. She did not care that it would hurt her eyes to look at her phone when the lights in the room were switched off. She opened the web page and was overjoyed as she read the comments.

Luke took out his phone as well. After thinking about it, he called Luca.

Luca, who was working, heard her phone ring. She put down the pen and answered the call.

Luke was calling.

"Hello." She had never talked to Luke on the phone before, so she could only pretend that she did not know who was calling her.

"It’s Luke." Luke's heart tightened when he heard the soft voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, it's you, Mr. Crawford. Hello, why are you calling so late?" Luca asked.

"Have you seen the news?" Luke asked.

"What news?" Luca paused. She has been working since she delivered the package and had not paid attention to the news.

"Open your browser and have a look. Also, if you don't want to go to work tomorrow, you don't need to," Luke said. He mentioned that because he thought that she would be emotionally affected by it considering that she was involuntarily involved in this drama. Besides, there were a lot of people calling her all sorts of names on the internet.

While listening to him speak, Luca opened the browser and typed in Luke’s name. She immediately saw the news he was referring to.

She quickly scrolled through until she reached the bottom of the page. She saw the comments left by netizens.

Most of the comments were directed at her. They said she was shameless and called her the other woman. They scolded her for meddling in another party’s marriage for the sake of her career and destroying their relationship.

Luca’s gaze gradually turned cold as she said, "Oh, so this is what you were referring to. Mr. Crawford, don't worry. This news won’t affect my work."

Luke listened to her calm tone. It did not seem like she took the news to heart. He opened his mouth and felt like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat. He wanted to say something but he could not bring himself to. He slowly swallowed his words and felt a pang of pain.

He wanted to ask Luca whether she really did not care about this.

In the end, he kept his thoughts to himself and said, "Okay. If you want to take some time off, Dr. Cole can approve your leave at any time."

"Mr. Crawford, we’re both innocent. If you want me to take a leave of absence at this moment, won’t things get more suspicious?" Luca looked at the screen, her expression growing colder and colder.

The netizens were calling her a shameless mistress, but none of them knew that she was Luke’s rightful partner.

These people did not know right from wrong because she was forced to change her face. They did not know the truth, so it was natural for them to be easily misguided by the news.

Luca felt sad but understood her circumstances.
