Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1577

Setting Jean Up With Luca?

Nina was not insane. She would never lead her friend into danger, and she wanted to immediately reject them. However, when she thought how Anna was going for surgery the next day, she might mess everything up if she rejected them right away.

She thought about it for a moment and said, "You have surgery tomorrow. We'll talk about it after this."

Jean narrowed his eyes and pondered when he heard her say so. It was much better than her rejecting him from the get-go. He had his ways to see Luca even if Nina rejected him after the surgery.

He had seen Luca with Nina a few times. She seemed to hang out around Nina a lot.

Hence, he only had to keep Nina by his side, then he would certainly get to see Luca. She would probably agree to whatever he asked her to do.

“No, you have to promise me now, not after the surgery. Look at your brother. He’s old enough. When will I get to see my grandchildren if you refuse to help your brother?!” Anna did not have as many considerations as Jean. She forced Nina to promise her.

“Mom, Luca is busy right now. How can I just give him her contact details? What about this? I’ll talk to Luca after your surgery ends tomorrow. I can’t just give someone else her contact details without getting her permission, right?” Nina felt irritated. She was the youngest in the family, but she was the one who had to bear most of the responsibility.

Anna thought what she said was reasonable too. She took a bite of the apple and sneered. "Alright. I'll leave this to you to handle tomorrow. Ask Luca to come over and take care of your brother tomorrow."

Nina rolled her eyes right away. How could Anna say something like that?

“I’ve already found a caretaker for him. Luca has work to do. Don’t trouble her,” replied Nina. She had talked to Luca while she was sending her home. She knew Luca was going to be busy after this.

“Yes, Mom. Don’t trouble your future daughter-in-law with such petty things. I’m fine having just a caretaker.” Jean had his ego too. He was not going to let Luca see him lying on the ward bed like that if he was going to pursue her.

The patient on the ward bed beside them could not help but roll their eyes and sneer mockingly when they heard their conversation.

How hilarious this pair of mother and son were. How did an outsider just suddenly become her daughter-in-law and his girlfriend?

Nina was mentally exhausted after it was over. She walked out of the ward and went to the restaurant, thinking of getting herself a cup of coffee. However, she ran into the daughter of the Johnston family in the restaurant.

She was startled for a moment as she looked at the glamorous woman in front of her. She felt uncomfortable when she saw her. She reminded her of Percy Mallory.

Nina turned around and left.

The daughter of the Johnston family recognized her after what had happened previously. Although Nina had nothing to do with Percy now, it would be better for the both of them not to see each other.

It was because they had recognized her as the mistress.

Nina thought she was strong enough to deal with this. However, she was still overwhelmed by the rumors.

…

The following day.

Luca put on something more formal than usual as she was going to meet foreign guests today. She contacted Jason, and after knowing that the guests would be arriving around noontime, she knew she still had time to do her job.

Everyone in the department was slacking off a little after traveling for a few days. Luca held a meeting and rearranged their tasks.
