Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1466

The door slammed loudly in Luca's face. She wanted to kick down the door in her anger, but she stopped herself from doing so because Luke was just next to her. She turned around and looked at the man leaning against the wall.

"What is it, Mr. Crawford?" Her tone of voice changed from agitated to composed in one second.

"I'm here to see if you lied to me," Luke said. He could sense the sudden change in Luca's attitude.

Luca seemed to be a different person when she stood up for Nina. Bianca was like that too. Whenever she heard that Nina was in danger, she would try to stand up for her no matter how weak she was.

Luca also wanted to protect Nina. However, she exuded an aura of might instead.

In any case, Luca's fearless spirit when she tried to protect her friend reminded him of Bianca.

"I have no need to lie to you," Luca said, wondering if that was the only reason why Luke came to look for her.

With Luke's help, it was no wonder that Percy managed to find Nina so quickly. Luca had left the apartment in a cab the night before, and Luke would be able to identify the car using the surveillance camera.

With the license plate, Luke would be able to track down the driver and the cab company the car belonged to. From there, he would be able to find where Luca had gone.

"Mm, indeed. You don't have to lie to me about something so minor," Luke said knowingly, which caused Luca's heart to skip a beat.

She said, "I have no need to lie to you about other things either. You've approved my sick leave, so how I choose to spend my time is none of your business. Don't you think so?"

"I believe that you're right," Luke said and nodded.

"So there's nothing wrong if I choose to spend my personal time with my friend, right?" Luca said while paying attention to any sounds in the room. She did not hear any loud noises, which meant that the two people in the room were trying their best to control their emotions.

"There's nothing wrong, but you're injured," Luke said disapprovingly.

"I'm not a child, and I can take care of myself. Also, you're not my guardian." Luca thought that Luke was behaving erratically.

Luke must have found out something. However, if he suspected that she had some relation to the Island of Despair, he would not talk to her like that. It was as though he cared for her injury.

"You say that you can take care of yourself, but you've drunk wine," Luke said matter-of-factly.

"How did you know that I ordered wine?" Luca said with a frown. Why would he snoop on her every detail? Did he suspect her so much?

"I happened to see your room service order list," Luke said.

"If that's the case, you would have seen that I ordered grape juice too," Luca reminded him.

Luke understood what she was implying. She drank grape juice instead of wine.

Seeing that the man did not continue to reprimand her, she said, "Mr. Crawford, I am only your employee, and I have my rights and freedoms. I know that you've let me stay in your apartment because you care for me, but I don't need that now. I'll stay by Nina's side."

Luca had said "I'll stay" instead of "I want to stay."

The minor difference meant that Luke could not influence her decision.

Luke was familiar with the nuances of language, so he understood what Luca was trying to say. He nodded and said, "Alright, but Nina will eventually return to Percy's side."

"I don't think so," Luca said confidently. From this incident, she knew that Percy would not be able to provide for Nina for the rest of her life.

The difference between them was too big.

Luca thought that they would be able to overcome those differences and find happiness with each other, but it had been three years without any progress. It only proved that Percy had no intention of being together with Nina forever.

Even if Percy had not grown tired of Nina after three years, no one could tell that Percy would eventually be tired of her.
