Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1311

Luca was at the conference at Solomon's time of death, so she could not have been his killer. Even so, Luke could not help but have the feeling that was something more to the incident.

Luca could tell that Luke was trying to find out something, but she remained calm because there was no direct link between her and Solomon's death. She shook her head and said, "It's not surprising even if a fellow gang member did him in."

Amur was silent as he listened to Luke's probing questions.

The police had concluded that Solomon died in a gang conflict, so Amur did not have to say anything. In any case, the police would not track him down, and they would not disturb Luca either.

"Mm." Luke nodded. He had been observing Amur from the corner of his eye. Even though Luca had told him that they were not biological siblings, he could not help but think that they were not siblings at all.

When Amur came in, he caught a scent of drugs on his body.

Luke continued asking, "Mr. Amur, why did you come to New York this time?"

"I had some business," Amur said.

Luca glanced at Luke, then at Amur. She could sense that the hostility between the two men was growing, so she tried to distract them. "Mr. Crawford, what are the police going to do with the two students?"

"The law will deal with them," Luke said. He did not show them any sympathy at all.

Luca had expected him to say that. Luke would show no sympathy to anyone other than his family, especially toward those who tried to harm him.

Amur also had a rough idea of what happened. When he heard Luke's words, he said, "They're only university students."

Luke raised his eyebrows. Amur sounded like a parent who tried to harbor their children's faults, though he was a little more than a child himself.

Amur continued, "But I can't forgive them if they try to harm my elder sister. We shouldn't let them get away with it so easily."

Luke nodded. "Of course."

Luca was not sure how to feel about the conversation. It was the first time Luke and Amur agreed on something.

The doorbell rang once more. "That should be the room service," Luca said.

At the same time, Luke stood up. "Mm. I should head back."

When Tommy heard that, he also stood up, though he was feeling a little frustrated about why they had to leave so soon. His father would definitely not allow him to stay, so he did not ask in the first place.

Luca opened the door. Just as expected, the attendant pushed the meal cart in and took away the breakfast cart.

After the attendant left, Luke said at the door, "Finish your food."

"Yes." Luca nodded, though her heart began to beat faster when Luke said that.

Amur did not know what to feel when he saw the change in her expression.

She might not have noticed it, but that single-word reply was filled with affection. It was as though she was a young girl speaking to her crush.

Luca turned around and met Amur's gaze. She smoothed her hair and said, "Have you had your dinner? If not, we can share the food."

"I've had dinner," Amur said. He could not hold it back anymore. "If you want to protect Luke Crawford, it's best that you keep your distance from him."

Luca's expression stiffened. She knew about that fact without him saying it. All of this would not have happened if she had not become Luke Crawford's wife.
