Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1704

It looked like Madam Mallory's plan to break them up had failed…

Nina felt a dull pain in her heart at the thought of this. She lay down on her bed and pondered why she felt this. Had she not stopped being in love with Percy?

Why did she feel heartbroken when she saw him kissing another woman?

Nina touched her chest, and tears ran down her face. Her heart ached so painfully that she could barely take it. Perhaps it was the after-effects of taking too much medicine, or maybe she was sick.

The doorbell rang. Nina wiped her tears and sat up on the bed. It was still early. Who was it who came?

She walked to the living room and looked through the peephole. No one was outside the door. It seemed like the person knew she would check the situation outside through the peephole, and that was why they hid on purpose.

Usually, it would be someone unwelcomed by her.

“Who is it?” Nina asked.

There was no sound from outside the door.

“I know you’re out there. I’m going to call the police if you don’t speak,” Nina said in the direction of the door.

“It’s me.” Percy’s voice sounded.

Nina was startled. Why was he here? She could not help but feel uncomfortable at the thought of the news article she read just now. She took a deep breath and leaned behind the door, trying to chase the man away. “You’re not welcomed here. Please leave.”

“Nina, let me in,” said Percy. He knocked on the door, not afraid that he would be disturbing the neighbors in the early morning.

Nina was a considerate person and afraid of troubling others. If the knocking on the door really disturbed the neighbors, it might be helpful to him.

Nina leaned on the door, feeling the strength of his knocks. It seemed like he would not give up until he came in.

She mustered her courage and chased him away. “Stop knocking on the door. If you keep knocking on it, I’ll call the estate manager and I’ll call the police too. Then, you’ll be the one who’s embarrassed!”

Percy did not care about her threats. Instead, he said, “You can call the police, but this is my apartment. The police officers can’t chase me away even if they come.”

“What?” Nina was startled. When she rented the apartment, did the agent not tell her that the owner had been living abroad for quite a long time? That was why the owner was renting it at such a cheap price.

“I’m the owner of this apartment. It was me who asked the agent to rent it to you. The police officers and security guards can’t do anything to me. I even brought the documents along with me. Nina, no one is going to stop me from getting inside.” Percy leaned on the door. Even though he could not see the situation in the house, he could imagine Nina leaning behind the door.

It was a habit of hers. She would lean against the door with her back when she met someone she refused to let into the house. It was as if she could hold the door with that skinny body of hers.

Nina shut her eyes desperately. She had fallen into Percy’s trap again.

Previously, when she first rented the house, she had her suspicions. She had wondered if it could be Percy's arrangements. After all, the location was good and the rental was cheap. However, the agent managed to dispel her suspicions.

She did not expect that she was still unable to outsmart him.

Nina pressed her body against the door. Then, there was the knocking sound from the other side of the door again. "You've changed the passcode. I can't get in. The estate manager will break the door lock when they come. Not only will you be disturbing the others this way, but you'll be embarrassed too. Nina, open the door."

Percy convinced her without doing anything violent. He did not want to scare the woman inside.

She was a coward. However, she could stand up for her friends bravely. She would go the extra yard to help her friends, and she could tolerate everything for her family.

A timid woman like her could always surprise him at crucial times.
