Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1268

Luca opened his friend request but hesitated for a long time.

She wanted to accept the request, but her rationality told her that she should not. The fewer interactions with her, the better it was for him and the children.

She struggled internally for a long time before putting her phone back into her handbag. She did not accept his friend request.

She knew Luke's character very well, and she knew that he would not ask her directly to accept the friend request. All she had to do was to wait three days for the request to expire, and she should be off the hook.

Meanwhile, Tommy was sitting next to Luke. "Daddy!" He exclaimed when he saw Luke end the video call.

"Don't disturb her," Luke said and handed the phone back to him.

He knew that Tommy would be bored, so he asked Jason to buy several children's books.

"I'm not disturbing Ms. Luca at all. Can't you see that she's so bored?" Tommy pouted and protested.

Luke stood up as though he did hear what Tommy said.

Seeing that Luke had already ended the video call, Tommy thought it was not appropriate to call her again right now. "Daddy, did you send Ms. Luca a friend request?" He asked.

"This is adult stuff. It's none of your business." Luke sat on the executive chair and continued to read through his emails.

Tommy pouted. He decided to download a game on the phone. "Ms. Luca won't accept your friend request," he said crankily.

"Why?" Luke raised his eyebrows when he heard his son say that.

"Ms. Luca doesn't like you," Tommy said while downloading a puzzle game. "Don't you know? Ms. Luca seems awkward whenever you're around. I think that Ms. Luca is afraid of you. That's not too surprising. After all, there aren't that many people in the world who aren't afraid of you. You shouldn't go the next time I visit Ms. Luca. Don't come and disrupt our intimacy."

"That's not how you use the word 'intimacy.'" Inexplicably, Luke felt irritated by what his son told him.

'Is Luca afraid of me?'

Luke rubbed his chin, wondering if he was that scary.

He did not reply to his son. Instead, he continued to read his emails when he received an email from Gale.

Attached to the email was Luca's dossier. It had been delayed for a long time.

It was the first time that Gale took so long to investigate someone.

Luke opened the document and read all eleven pages. He frowned and began reading from the top again.

The dossier was very detailed. It recorded Luca's experiences since she was a child, and every statement was well-supported by evidence.

Luke wondered why Gale took so long to investigate someone with an unremarkable past. Moreover, Gale told him that he faced difficulties because someone seemed to deliberately withhold Luca's information from him.

Luke had been wondering if that was the case or if Luca's information was made up.

A knock on the door brought Luke back to his senses. He closed the email window and said, "Come in."

Jason came in with a bag of books. "Mr. Crawford, here are some books for Little Mr. Crawford's enjoyment."

Tommy stood up and took the bag from Jason. "Thank you, Uncle Jason."

He loved reading, so he was very happy to take the thick stack of books from Jason's hands.

Luke nodded. "Thank you."
