Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1407

Old Master Crawford nodded, satisfied with how Luke handled the matter.

He knew that Luke was loyal to the real Bianca. Now that Luke found out that the woman was an impostor, he would be looking for the real Bianca once more.

It would be very difficult to succeed in that task, now that three years had passed.

Moreover, no one knew where the base of operations of the Island of Despair was. That added to the difficulty of the task.

"Luke, there are some things that I believe you know without me spelling it out. If you can't Bianca anymore, I hope that you can find your happiness elsewhere. Some things just can't be forced. Do you understand what I mean?" Old Master Crawford said.

Naturally, Luke understood. "I won't give up on finding Bea, Grandfather."

Old Master Crawford sighed. He did not know why his grandson was so loyal and determined.

If only Luke's father were also like that. That would have prevented a lot of family drama.

Even though Allison was already put in prison, the problems she caused still plagued the Crawford family, and that had troubled Old Master Crawford greatly.

The old man wanted to sip some tea to soothe his feelings, but he realized that he left his teacup in the living room.

He rubbed the palms of his hands and said, "It's been three years. Three years is enough to completely change someone's personality, and it's also enough to change someone's appearance. Luke, I'm saying what if, and it's a very big if, Bianca isn't around anymore? Are you going to continue to wait for her while the children need a mother? Lanie and Rainie know that their mother was an impostor, but what about Tommy? Even though he's not very close to the impostor, you can't keep on deceiving him. He's still a child who needs his mother."

Luke was silent as he listened to his grandfather's lecture.

Old Master Crawford had made his intentions very clear. The rest was up to Luke to connect the dots.

He stood up with the help of the walking stick and said, "A mother plays an important role in a child's development. Lanie and Rainie didn't have a mother for the first five years of their lives, and they're used to it by now. Tommy is different. Bianca has pampered him since he was a baby. If Bianca isn't coming back anymore, I hope that you can find a good woman so that Tommy can grow up happily."

He walked toward the door. When he put his hand on the doorknob, he turned around and said, "I don't think you know about this, Luke. The Crawfords might be influential, and people respect us wherever we go, but when Lanie and Rainie were young, they've been bullied by their friends because they don't have a mother."

Luke frowned. "When was that?"

He had no idea that it happened.

"When they were in kindergarten. You were very busy, and the kids didn't tell you, but they were crying and complaining to me. They asked me where their mother was, and I didn't know how to answer." Old Master Crawford sighed deeply and continued, "They're good kids, and they're sensible enough not to trouble you or throw tantrums, but they're kids after all.

"You can't imagine how easily kids can learn and adapt. It's a good thing that Tommy isn't close to the impostor. You can tell him the truth, and I'm sure that he'll understand," Old Master Crawford said. If no one knew when the real Bianca was going to return, there was no need to keep hiding the truth from the child.

To maintain a lie, one would need to tell ten more lies. The impostor Bianca was dead, and the real Bianca was not yet found. If Tommy asked where his mother was, it was not good to keep on lying to him.

Luke thought that his grandfather made sense. He would put that under serious consideration.

"I'll think about it, Grandfather," he said.

Old Master Crawford nodded, then left the room.
