Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 167

Bianca awkwardly led the way.

Not every shop sold good burritos. To be on the safe side, Bianca asked Luke to drive them to her old rented place.

After returning to the country, Bianca had stayed there. She was very familiar with the shops nearby and knew which shops had delicious food.

The black Range Rover parked domineeringly on the side of the road, causing the surrounding residents to look at the people in the car.

They saw the father with the straight back and the fair-skinned, lovely pair of twin babies who looked adorable from all angles.

It was lunch hour, so the burrito shop was full.

The owner yelled, "Number 23’s burrito is done!”

A high school student in school uniform came to the cashier, handed the owner a round card that wrote ‘No. 23’, and took his burrito away.

The lady owner saw the family of four entering the door and her eyes lit up.

It was not because she had more customers, but because the four of them were too attractive and looked like celebrities.

‘Perhaps they’re celebrities!’

"Please, have a seat. There are seats inside!" The lady owner welcomed them warmly. She asked people from different tables to share a table so that there would be a free table. “For tables number and one and number two, please share a table as we need more space due to it being lunch hour!”

The high school students in their school uniforms held their own burritos and hurriedly sat down at another table to join another couple so that the four-person table was freed up.

The lady owner wiped the table vacated by the high school students and seated the family of four. "What would you like to order?”

Bianca glanced at Luke and remembered his reply about them having whatever she wanted. She nervously and decisively decided, "Four burritos. Two original flavors and two non-spicy ones.”

"We can eat spicy food..." Little Lanie and Rainie said together.

Bianca was not sure whether to believe them and looked at the children's dad again.

Before Luke sat down, he said, “Lanie can take spicy food, but Rainie can't. The doctor explained that she should avoid it."

Bianca changed the order with the lady owner.

The lady owner took the order down and gave it to her husband.

When she put the tableware on their table, the lady owner asked Bianca quietly, "Are you guys celebrities?”

"No," Bianca shook her head and explained, "I used to rent a house in this neighborhood and have eaten at your store many times."

The lady owner wiped the table again as if she did not hear what she said. She smiled while wiping, “And I thought that you guys were celebrities trying to experience the life of normal people. What’s the name of that… Reality show called… Real People? If my shop is fortunate enough to get on the show, we’d go viral!”

Bianca knew it was all because of Luke. "We’re really not celebrities..."

Strictly speaking, Luke was not a Hollywood celebrity. He was more mysterious than that.

Fortunately, most of the people in the shop were ordinary people. Some of them were migrant workers at nearby construction sites. They were very old and most likely did not go on social media nor paid attention to financial news. Therefore, they would not know who Luke Crawford was and they did not have to be bothered by anyone.

"Your burritos are done!" The lady owner brought it over for them.

Lanie and Rainie took the cutleries and started to eat excitedly. It was obvious that they liked it very much.

Bianca suddenly felt very satisfied and happy. Was it because the two little kids inherited her ordinary genes that they could adapt to any food so quickly as well as enjoy them?

...

One o’clock in the afternoon.

Luke drove and they left the street.

His phone rang.

Luke answered. "What's the matter, Grandpa?"

“Luke, my sister came to A City with a medical team. You know how sick her husband got, right? He’s barely holding on and is confused most of the time. My sister thinks that it’d be nice if Lanie and Rainie came to the hospital to visit him and tell him that they’re his grandchildren so that at least he can leave this world a little happier,” Old Master Crawford said.
