Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1343

Luca lifted her head, and the two pairs of eyes met, which caused her to shudder involuntarily.

Sue took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet. She smiled and said, "I'm in the mood today. Shall we all have a drink? I know it's weird to pair red wine with fish, but we're all friends here, and we don't really mind that, do we?"

Luca's alcohol capacity was quite high now, and she did not have to drive herself home later, so she had no problems with drinking during dinner. She nodded and said, "Alright."

Luke did not voice his opinion.

Jason said, "Let's not, Sue. Ms. Crawford drove here. If he drank wine, how is he going to drive home later?"

"If he can't drive home, he can spend the night here," Sue said matter-of-factly. "Mr. Crawford, if you don't want to spend the night here, I'll get some freshly-squeezed orange juice for you. That's what the children are drinking too."

Luke glanced at the bottle of red wine in her hands. He knew that Jason had bought some bottles while on a business trip in France a few years ago, and Jason had planned to save them for a special occasion.

"Red wine is fine." Luke made his decision. He did not want to be drinking orange juice together with the children.

Sue nodded and asked the caretaker to bring four wine glasses. "That's more like it. It's a special occasion today, and we ought to drink some wine to celebrate it. If you can't drive, I'll get a cab for you."

Jason massaged his temples when he heard what Sue said.

The caretaker brought four wine glasses to the table. Sue uncorked the wine and poured it into the glasses. "We don't have time to decant the wine, so let's just drink it straight from the bottle. This wine has a great texture, and it's quite good even if you don't decant it."

"Thank you," Luca said with a smile as she took the wine glass from Sue's hand.

"Don't be a stranger, Dr. Craw," Sue said magnanimously. "Right, calling you 'Dr. Craw' sounds too formal. Is it okay if I call you by your name?"

Luca nodded and said, "Of course."

"Luca sounds better anyway," Sue said while pouring the wine into Luke's glass. "Have a taste, Mr. Crawford. Jason bought the wine while he was on a business trip to France, and I heard that you bought a case too. Have you finished it?"

Jason shook his head again. Sue had not touched a drop of alcohol yet, but she spoke as though she were already drunk. 'Doesn't she know who she's speaking to?' He thought.

"Not yet." Luke took the glass and shook it gently.

Sue said, "Fine wine is meant for drinking. You should drink yours soon. It might taste richer the longer you store it, but it won't taste as unique."

Jason stood up and took the bottle from Sue's hands. "Let me do it."

Sue did not try to snatch the bottle back from Jason. She sat down, smiled, and looked at Luca as Luca took a sip of wine. "What do you think of the wine, Luca?" She asked.

"I don't drink wine often, but I like the taste and texture. This should be suitable for women," Luca said after rolling the wine in her mouth for a while.

"That's right, Dr. Craw. This wine is suitable for women." Jason poured a glass of wine for Sue, then poured himself a glass.

Luke turned his gaze toward Luca and said, "I didn't expect that you know quite a bit about wine, Dr. Craw."

"My parents like to drink wine," Luca said and took another sip.

Luke raised his eyebrows. "I thought that Russians like to drink vodka. What about you, Dr. Craw?"

"As long as it's good quality," Luca said with a smile.
