Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1601

“Yes.” Luke put his hands in his pocket, maintaining a certain distance from Luca.

He looked at her beautiful face. He could not imagine what she had gone through for the past three years. Why did she change her looks and return here?

She did not acknowledge him when she came back. She still loved her children, but she was willing to treat the kids like how a stranger would.

Why did she become like this…

Luke wanted to question her so badly, but it was not the time yet. He could only keep her close and figure out who was the mastermind behind her.

Even though three years had passed and things were no longer how they used to be, he still believed that the woman in front of him had never changed. She must have a reason for becoming like this.

“But my research has reached a critical stage now. I can’t leave…” Luca declined. She had to accomplish the mission, but she could never deceive Luke.

Although she had been lying to him all this while, she could not bear to do this to him as it was related to the whole corporation.

It was especially so when she found out how beneficial the project would be for T Corporation to achieve its yearly target during the meeting just now.

“I can get you another two assistants if you need help. You’d only have to assign them their tasks. As for the research, you may leave it to the others to complete. It won’t delay the launch of the new drug,” replied Luke.

The more she tried to run away from him, the more he would try to stop her from escaping.

Luca was startled. Did he just say he was going to hire an assistant to take over her job?

He left her with no choice.

Luke added, "The project has started. I'll need someone who knows how to speak Russian to follow me around to do some diplomatic interpretation or translation jobs. Do you have any problems with this arrangement?"

"..." Luca remained silent. Everything he said was reasonable and made sense. Even though Luke could find a temporary translator or interpreter out there, the problem was that the person he hired could not be exposed to the confidential information…

Come to think of it, she was indeed the most suitable candidate. After all, she had translated the document, so she might as well just finish the job. It was a matter of course.

“Is there anything wrong?” Luke asked.

“No.” Luca shook her head. She had no choice but to accept his arrangements.

“And someone will be heading to your apartment to clean it up. Did you change the passcode to the door lock?” Luke asked again.

“No.” Luca remained stiff but her brain was quickly churning. Why was he sending someone to tidy up the apartment?

Luke spoke again before she managed to ask the question, "Alright, that should do it. Change the passcode after they finish cleaning up. Tell me the passcode after that."

“Why?” Luca finally asked.

"It's an important project. I might stay in the apartment temporarily,” Luke explained. He was looking for an excuse to approach Luca. "Don't worry. I'll stay in the maid's room. You can still sleep in the master bedroom."

Luca was shocked. He was going to stay in the maid's room?

“Mr. Crawford, I can make room for you and move back to my apartment. My apartment has been tidied up.” She politely declined.

Although the culprit behind the security guard’s murder was still at large, they had lifted the ban on the site. She had sent someone to clean the apartment so that she could move back in.

It was just that she did not move back as it was more convenient for her to stay in Luke’s apartment.
