Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1294

Tommy stared blankly at her with tears in his eyes as if he would bawl his eyes out if she said she did not like him.

Luca was mad at herself. She thought she had hurt his feelings with the tone of her voice.

“Ms. Luca, I won’t bother you. Please don’t dislike me.” Tommy rubbed his eyes as he tried to contain his tears. Just the sight of him would melt anyone’s heart.

“No, I don’t dislike you. Stop overthinking.” Luca grabbed his hand and said, “I just went to the supermarket. Guess what I bought?”

Tommy still had tears in his eyes as he looked up at her. At least he was somewhat distracted now. “What?”

“Your favorite snack,” replied Luca as she opened the drawer. She was going to be here for two weeks and would meet Tommy anytime, so she prepared them.

She picked up a bag of chips that kids liked and handed it to him. “Here you go. Treat this as an apology from me. Don’t be sad, okay?”

“You didn't do anything wrong.” Tommy was very happy when he saw the bag of snacks that he liked. His eyes were sparkling with delight, and the tears that were welled up in them before were all gone.

He knew Luca pampered him when he saw the drawer full of snacks.

From that moment onward, he had no reason to be sad anymore.

Luca watched as he tore open the bag of snacks. She brought him over to the sofa and said to him, “Tommy can I tell you something?”

“Is it about going to your friend’s house?” asked Tommy as he bit into a piece. He knew what was on her mind even if she did not say it.

Luca nodded.

Tommy asked again, “Ms. Luca, can I follow you?”

“This is a very important matter, I can’t bring you with me. Besides, it might be a little dangerous,” replied Luca as she caressed his face.

“Dangerous?” Tommy tilted his head as he thought about what she just said. After a while, he asked her, “Are you going to do something good? Like that time you saved me?”

“I guess so… I can’t bring you along with me. If I put you in any danger, I’ll feel very guilty,” said Luca. She had no intention of fooling him. After all, he was a smart kid. If she tried to fool him, he might realize it.

Even though she was confident in protecting him, she did not want him to experience too many things like this.

After all, her darling had to grow up in a warm and safe environment.

Tommy suddenly understood what she meant. He replied, “I understand, Ms. Luca. I’ll wait for you here.”

“I'm worried about leaving you alone here, so I'll send you back.” Leaving a kid in the room alone was not the safest option.

“But Daddy should be out by now…” Tommy took another bite of the snack as he tilted his head. He was sent here because his father would be going out for a discussion, after all.

“Then…” She suddenly thought of another person, so she said to him, “I'll send you over to Rhett's place and I'll come to pick you up when I'm done, okay?”

She did not want to ask Dr. Albus and the others. These people were a bunch of gossips, so she could not be bothered. Rhett was the only one she could trust.

“Alright, Ms. Luca.” Tommy nodded.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief when he agreed with her. She then said to him, “Let's go over there right now. I’ll leave after I drop you off. By the way, don't tell anyone else what I'm about to do.”

“Not even Daddy?” Tommy asked.

Luca thought about it for a moment and then nodded. She extended her hand for a pinky promise. “It's better not to tell him. I don't want too many people to know. This is our secret, okay?”
