Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1640

Luke looked at the message Percy sent him. He had a profound look in his eyes.

He had expected it. Pierre was unlike other people. He was difficult to deal with.

After all, he was Old Master Mallory’s grandson, and he was similar to the old master.

Luke sunk into his executive chair and pondered what his next move would be. This time, he had finally fallen out with Pierre. He would turn against him openly if he got away with it this time.

He was not afraid that Pierre would retaliate. It was just that he was afraid Pierre would go after Luca.

During the incident this time, Luke lost his self-control and showed too much concern for Luca.

Once a person showed their weakness, the enemy would seize it and never give them a chance to breathe again.

The study’s door was pushed open. Thud, thud, thud. Tommy ran in with his short legs and walked to Luke's side. He lifted his head and looked at him. "Daddy."

“Yes?” Luke’s thoughts were interrupted. He put down his phone, looked at his son, and gave him a faint smile.

No matter how difficult things were for him, he would always show his children the tender side of him.

He had to protect his children well regardless of how chaotic the outside world was. This was what Bianca had told him back then.

Tommy wanted to crawl up onto Luke’s lap, but it dawned on him that he had already grown up and was not a kid anymore. He had become heavier. Hence, he changed his mind and asked right away, "Daddy, Great-grandpa asked how Mom… Ms. Luca is now?"

Luke’s expression turned serious when he noticed that his son made a mistake. He reminded his son, saying, “She’s still in the hospital now. The doctor says there’s no big problem with her other than the injuries on her face. Don’t worry. And be careful when you’re talking next time. You mustn't let anyone know about this.”

Tommy nodded. He was missing Luca so much, which was why he accidentally said it out loud. Then, he spoke again, “I know, Daddy. Can you bring me to see her tomorrow?”

“No.” Luke rejected him immediately without hesitation.

Tommy was unhappy to hear that. “Why can’t I?”

“Because she needs a good rest. She can't be disturbed.” Luke used this trick to deal with the child.

“Daddy, I won’t disturb Ms. Luca. Please bring me along with you. I’ll be good, and I’ll stand still. I won’t move or say anything.” Tommy put on a bitter expression on his face. He was trying to convince his dad to bring him along.

Luke still shook his head firmly, disagreeing with what Tommy said.

Tommy knew there was nothing else he could do here. Hence, he muttered, "She's injured, and we're worried about her too. Daddy, you don't understand how anxious we are. Never mind, I'll ask Great-grandpa to bring me there if you won’t bring me. Great-grandpa likes me, and he likes Ms. Luca too. He'll definitely say yes."

He ran out of the room after he said that. He would really plead with anyone just to see Luca.

Luke shook his head helplessly while he watched his child from behind.

Luca's phone rang when it was ten o'clock at night. She glanced at it. It was a video call request from Tommy. She hesitated for a few seconds and tapped on the reject button.

“Why? Did someone call you?” Nina noticed and asked.

Luca was typing on the keyboard on her phone. [Tommy requested a video call.]

“Why didn’t you pick up the call?” Nina asked again. She knew Luca was close to Tommy, and it was because of that that she was even more worried that Bianca would lose her status when she came back.

After all, Luke and the children were getting closer to Luca. Bianca, who was suffering from memory loss, would then be kicked out of the family.

[I look awful now. I’m afraid I’ll scare the kid.] Luca explained. Her face was shockingly swollen, and she was reluctant to meet the children like this.

“What’s wrong with that? They’re sensible, and they’d love to get close to you. You’re not going to scare them away just because of your current appearance,” Nina replied.

Luca shook her head and insisted.

Nina thought it would be better if she chose to keep quiet. She thought about how different Luca's feelings for the children were.

Moreover, the children seemed like be fond of Luca more than Bianca, who was overseas…
