Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1215

"I can't remember." Luca shook her head. She should not have been so careless.

In that atmosphere, she was not in the mood to pay attention to the details.

It did not matter if she did not remember. After all, they could check the surveillance cameras if they wanted to get to the bottom of it. However, Abel was much more meticulous than that.

Even if they managed to identify the waiter, they would not be able to trace it back to Abel.

Luke's expression sank. He did not expect such an incident to happen in a six-star hotel.

Luca could sense the iciness in his eyes. "Forget it. You won't be able to find out anything."

"How would you know?" Luke raised his eyebrows. Luca seemed to have an answer for everything, but those answers seemed so perfunctory. He could not believe her.

Luca did not have a reply for that. The antidote had alleviated the physical effects of the drug, but her thoughts were still in a muddle. If she were not careful, she might accidentally divulge something.

She wanted to knock her head in case water went into her brain when she was soaking in the bathtub earlier.

"I was… just guessing…" Luca knew that Luke was not so easily convinced, but she could not think of a better explanation.

Luke narrowed his gaze. Did she think that he could be deceived so easily?

He stood up from the couch, walked up to her, and towered over her.

Luca's breathing became shallow because of the intense pressure that Luke was emanating. His penetrating gaze seemed to see through everything, including her anxiety.

"Why do you want to hide the truth?" Luke leaned slightly forward. He could see that she was trying her best to keep her cool, but that had caused his heart to skip a beat.

Luca shook her head and sighed. "That's because I don't want to court trouble."

She seemed to be trying to keep attention away from her. That happened when she took in Tommy when he ran away from him. Then, she helped Queenie anonymously.

She was the victim, but Luke could tell that she did not wish to pursue the matter.

What was the woman trying to hide from him? Luke was deathly curious. She was but a stranger, but she had somehow attracted her.

Luke's instinct told him that he had to get to the bottom of the matter.

The two people continued to look at each other.

He did not say anything, and Luca was not going to break the silence either. Remembering that when she was Bianca and had first returned to A City, she dared not look at Luke eye to eye.

He had slowly warmed up to her with his expressions of love. It was when she had nowhere to run to that she began to look into his eyes. The gaze between them was as sweet as honey and flowing like water.

Now, they were looking at each other like they were two duelists. She could not expose her weaknesses to him, and there was no affection in her gaze.

Luca wanted so much to hug him and break down into tears as she told him what had happened over the past three years, but her conscience told her that she could not do so.

Nyla would suffer if Luca decided to compromise.

Abel had kept Nyla hostage on the Island of Despair. He had not done anything to her yet, but if Luca decided to disobey him one day, her daughter would be the victim.
