Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1290

Luca nodded and then asked, “Mr. Crawford, what do you want to have for breakfast?”

“Anything will do. Bring Tommy along with you too. Buy something he actually likes to eat,” replied Luke.

Luca nodded in response and brought Tommy out of the ward.

After Luke walked into the bathroom to wash up, his phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw that it was Bianca calling.

After he knew that the Bianca in A City was a fake, he decided to remove everything that he had customized for her—including ringtones and wallpapers.

He had no reason to do all that for a fake woman.

Luke answered the call and spoke coldly, “It’s late. You’re still not asleep?”

His words were showing concern for her, yet they were spoken in a cold tone. That surprised her, but she still replied, “I’m about to sleep, but I miss you, so I decided to give you a call. Luke, I hope I’m not disturbing you?”

“Not at all.” Luke’s tone remained ice-cold. He left the bathroom, sat on the sofa, and waited for her reply.

“That’s good, then. You didn’t even call me when you arrived in America, so I guessed you might be really busy. That’s why I didn’t want to bother you. By the way, when are you coming back? I really miss you,” Bianca replied with such affection despite being given the cold shoulder.

She was used to his coldness, but he might be a little more affectionate if she acted coy with him.

A sinister look flashed across Luke’s eyes as he listened to her words. This woman must be hooked on the act that she had been putting on, right?

Luke replied, “I’ll come back when I’m done with my work here.”

Bianca shuddered. She thought he might show a little more love for her if she acted coy, but it did not seem to be working. Instead, he acted even more indifferently. She continued, “I see, alright then. By the way, is Tommy there? I miss him too.”

“He’s having breakfast with Jason in the restaurant downstairs.” Luke did not tell her anything about him being hospitalized, nor did he tell her about Tommy accompanying Luca.

“Oh.” Bianca had thought out an entire script before she called him, thinking that she might be able to give their relationship a boost. Now, Luke’s coldness stopped her in her tracks.

“It’s my body’s fault. Wouldn’t it be great if I had gone to America with you? But don’t worry about me. I’m fine now. I feel better these past couple of days. The doctor said I can be discharged once my condition stabilizes.”

“Mm.” Luke’s voice was still as cold as ever.

Bianca took a deep, cold breath as her heart chilled. “Alright, I’ll leave you alone now. Come back home once you’re done with your work, okay? I miss you,” Bianca said.

“Mm,” Luke replied emotionlessly and then hung up the phone.

Bianca felt that something was wrong. Luke’s attitude toward her was even colder than before.

Why…

Bianca thought about it for a moment. She did not remember doing anything to make him act like this. It was probably because of work that he was so moody. That was the only explanation she had in her head.

After all, he always acted like that, being the workaholic he was. When he was focused on work, he would neither eat nor sleep until he got everything done.

As a result, he did not interact with his children all that much.

Bianca was relieved after she thought of that.
