Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1238

Tommy's eyes sparkled when he saw the cupcakes.

Luca noticed the change in Tommy's expression and shook her head. "Not now, Tommy. Eat them when you get home."

"Can't I just eat one, Ms. Luca?" Tommy lifted one finger and looked at Luca eagerly. "I'm hungry."

Luca's heart melted when she saw Tommy's puppy eyes, though she knew that he had eaten a lot earlier, and she did not think that his stomach could take it. She steeled herself and shook her head. "You've just eaten. How can you be hungry? Be a good boy and listen to me."

Rainie also helped Luca convince her younger brother. "You'll get a tummy ache if you continue eating, Tommy. Ms. Luca said that we can bring the cupcakes home, so you can eat them when we get home."

Tommy rubbed his round stomach. He was indeed full, but he wanted to eat some more. Even so, he listened to Luca and Rainie. He nodded his head and tried to control himself.

Luca could not bear to see Tommy like that. She sat down next to him and picked two cherries from the fruit plate. "Why not have some fruit for now?"

"Mm! Feed me, Ms. Luca!" Tommy immediately cheered up. He opened his mouth and waited to be fed.

Luca smiled, plucked the stems from the cherries, and stuffed the cherries into his mouth.

Rainie suddenly felt envious when she saw their interaction. They looked like mother and son, and she wanted to be pampered like that too.

Ever since their mother went missing, she had never been pampered by anyone.

As she stared at them, the eagerness in her eyes grew.

Luca inadvertently noticed that from the corner of her eye. She smiled and tapped the seat next to her. "Rainie, do you want to sit here?"

Rainie was surprised, though she did not hesitate to sit down next to Luca.

Luca smiled and handed her two round and sweet cherries. "Do you want cherries too?"

"Thank you," Rainie said courteously, took the cherries, slowly plucked their stems, and put them in her mouth.

Luca became emotional when she saw how quiet and gentle Rainie was. Lanie was more reserved than Rainie, but they were active children, especially Rainie, who was cute, obedient, and empathic.

Now, the twins were a lot quieter and more reserved.

Luca wondered if it was because the twins lacked motherly care or if their environment caused them to be like that.

She remembered the reason why she and Luke moved out of Crawford Manow. She did not wish for their children to grow up in that toxic and chaotic environment.

After she was abducted, Luke and the three children moved back to Crawford Manor so that the children had someone to take care of them. Even though Allison was already in prison, Susan was still living in Crawford Manor, and Luca knew what kind of person she was.

Luca did not expect the impostor Bianca to take care of the children either.

When Luca thought of that, she patted Rainie's head lovingly.

Rainie enjoyed the sensation of Luca's soft hand caressing her hair. Somehow, she felt the urge to be closer to her.

"Your hand is so soft, Ms. Luca," Rainie lifted her head and looked at Luca with sparkling eyes. She thought that it was not enough, so she added, "You smell very nice too, Ms. Luca."

Luca smiled. She noticed that Lanie was looking at them. However, the seats on both sides were taken.

Luca picked Tommy up and placed him on her lap.

"Ms. Luca?" Tommy looked at Luca, slightly confused, though he was quite happy that he got to sit on her lap.

"Why don't you come and sit over here, Lanie?" Luca said to the boy. Lanie might not seem too eager, but as his birth mother, Luca knew what he was thinking.

Even though Lanie was much more mature than children of his age, he was still a child and wished to be treated equally.
