Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1695

Luca did not think that the cleaning lady had any intention of buying spoiled ingredients to deceive her.

The cleaning lady nodded while she listened to her. She could not help but secretly exclaim how considerate Luca was.

After all, she would have to buy many ingredients to make hotpot. If she came here to buy the ingredients alone, it would be a problem for her to carry everything back to the apartment although it was not far away from here.

The cleaning lady pushed the trolley and asked, “Ms. Craw, how many people are you inviting over to have hotpot?”

“It’s just me,” said Luca.

“Huh?” The cleaning lady thought she heard it wrongly.

Luca knew why she was surprised, so she explained, "I'm suddenly craving for it, but I don't like the commercial flavor of hotpot sold outside. So, I plan to cook it at home."

"Okay." The cleaning lady nodded. She had no idea what the young people today had in their minds.

Luca walked in front while the cleaning lady pushed the trolley behind her. After a while, she had already picked up a lot of ingredients.

The cleaning lady looked at the ingredients in the trolley and thought that Luca would probably not be able to finish everything if she was really making hotpot for herself. She looked at Luca’s skinny figure. It would take days for her to finish all these ingredients.

After Luca finished choosing the ingredients, she received a call from Nina.

"Luca, where are you?" Nina sounded like she was in a rush. At the same time, Luca noticed that it was noisy on the other end as though Nina was beside the road.

“I’m in a supermarket. What’s the matter?” Luca asked.

“Can I go over to your place?” Nina said. She was avoiding Percy. Sue had just told her that Percy would be heading to Brilliant. Before she found out why, she clocked out and left immediately.

She did not even want to go back to her apartment at the thought that the man might be looking for her.

Nina had no choice but to look for Luca, who was still on leave. After all, she could not stay in the company or return to her apartment.

"Alright. I'm almost done with grocery shopping. You can come over first. I'll be back soon." Luca hung up after she said that. She took a few boxes of sliced beef out of the freezer in the supermarket after learning that Nina would be coming over.

Nina enjoyed eating beef slices when she was having hotpot.

The cleaning lady reminded her when she saw Luca grabbing a few more boxes. “Ms. Craw, the beef slices won’t taste as good if you leave them in the freezer for too long.”

“A friend will be joining me for lunch,” said Luca. Then, she grabbed some other hotpot side dishes.

After checking out at the cashier counter, they both carried a big bag and left the supermarket.

The cleaning lady thought of carrying the two bags herself, but Luca refused to. She thought would be able to share the load with her if both of them carried one each.

Nina reached her apartment not long after they returned to the apartment. She pressed on the doorbell hastily.

Luca went to open the door.

She saw Nina standing at the door with an anxious look on her face. The weather was not even hot out there. Still, there were beads of sweat on her forehead, causing her makeup to smudge a little. She asked, "Nina, what happened to you?"

"Will you believe me if I tell you that I got chased by a ghost?" Nina took a breath. She glanced behind her as if she was afraid someone was following her. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw no one behind her, then she walked into the apartment.

“No,” Luca shook her head and replied honestly.

Nina sighed helplessly. “Luca, you lack a sense of humor. But seriously, the person who’s following me is scarier than a ghost.”
