Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1615

"I don't want to be around him." Nina shook her head as she looked at the slightly drunk man. Although he had never pestered her during this period, a drunk man could do anything. She was unwilling to keep him company.

Luke frowned. “His driver is not here yet. It’s not appropriate for him to drive after drinking so much. And he’s helping to look for Luca too. You know that. If Pierre is the one who did this, then Percy will be the quickest one to find out about it. Otherwise, we won’t be able to get any news on Luca later. What if it’s really Pierre who’s behind this? He has the whole night to transfer Luca somewhere else.”

What Luke said was reasonable.

Nina hesitated for a moment. She was not worried about what Percy would do to her after he got drunk. She was more worried about Luca.

She was partly responsible for it if Luca was really kidnapped by Pierre. After all, if it had not been for her, Luca would not have gone against Pierre.

“Fine…” Nina sounded helpless.

Percy, who was narrowing his eyes, looked like he was drunk. However, he was just a little tipsy. He was not completely drunk. At least, he could understand what they were talking about.

He said to himself, ‘Luke Crawford is a true brother.’

He knew Percy was still in love with Nina. Hence, he made this arrangement.

“Then I’ll leave him to you. Ask the manager to put it on my bill when you’re about to leave.” Luke left the private room after that.

Nina stood still for a while. There was an awkward silence in the air. Then, she turned to look at Percy. "Are you done drinking?"

“Aren’t you tired standing here?” Percy answered her with another question. It was rare to see him curling the corners of his lips into a smile.

There was a wave of burning anger in Nina's heart, but she did not know why she could not release it. She had no idea how and where that anger came from.

It was tiring to stand for so long. However, she was able to think more when she was tired.

“When are you going back?” she asked.

Percy smiled and pointed at the remaining half a bottle of wine on the table. "I'll go back when I finish this."

Nina was stunned. She clenched her fists. He still wanted to drink…

“Drinking too much will keep you from getting down to business!”

"Business? Do you mean finding Luca? I have nothing to do with this. And I'm just offering my help as a friend. Nina, how long have you known Luca? Yet you're so concerned about her? You've known me for so long. Why don't you care about me?" Percy made fun of her. It seemed like he was jealous of Luca, but he was not that childish to really be jealous of her.

“Enough.” Nina rolled her eyes and turned around. “Finish your drink quickly. I’ll drive you home.”

Percy replied to her with a hum, sounding a little lazy. "Why don't you finish it for me? Then I can go back."

“I don’t drink.” Nina clenched her fists. She turned around without noticing the gleam that flashed across the man’s eyes.

He was not drunk at all. When Nina standing with her back to him, he was too lazy to pretend that he was drunk.

“I remember you used to love having a few glasses of wine. Why did you change?” Percy suddenly panicked. It had only been a few months, yet her habits had already changed.

Would everything change if he kept her waiting for a little longer?

No way! He had to hurry up and settle the matter.

Nina felt a lump in her throat when she heard him ask this. She still had her back against him. "Percy, don’t you know that I didn’t like to drink back then and I drank only because I had to?”

Percy frowned. She had to drink?

"Previously, I was in pain when I was with you. I suffered every day. Even though I took pills, they still couldn’t relieve my pain. Hence, I had to numb myself with alcohol. That’s why you think I loved to drink. Well, I'm free now. Why should I drink again? Just because it tastes good? I've been drinking for years, and I feel obligated to tell you that I don't think alcohol tastes any good. It's just that sometimes, alcohol is a good thing. At least, it made me forget my identity, my situation, and my pain back then." Nina took a deep breath and spilled everything out.

She did not have the chance to say these things until after they separated. Today, he had given her a chance to pour it out.
