Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1706

[You’re not feeling well? What’s wrong?] Sue asked caringly.

[It’s nothing. I just want to take a rest for a day or two. You don’t have to worry about it. If there’s any important work that needs my attention, I’ll head to the office to handle it.] Nina replied. She had always asked for leave too when she was together with Percy.

However, she had never delayed her work at the company because of her absence.

Sue replied: [Alright. Take good care of yourself. You can come over to my place if you’re struggling with anything. I can take care of you.]

[Don’t worry. I’ve asked Luca to come here to keep me company.] Nina replied. She had always been sick and weak in Sue’s impression.

Still, she used to be healthy and was nothing like this now. Now, she had to take pills to make her sleep. She would often catch a cold if she was unlucky.

The reason why she ended up like this today was that she met the two brothers of the Mallory family.

Nina pondered and picked up the concealer to try and cover the hickeys on her neck.

She thought of Percy, then Pierre came into her mind again. She wondered if she had done anything to offend the Mallory family in her past life, which was causing her to suffer so much in this life.

Luca packed a few clothes and hailed a ride to Nina’s apartment.

Nina had informed the guards at the entrance in advance, so everything went smoothly when Luca came in. When she reached the door, she knocked on the door and said, “Nina, I'm here.”

Nina heard her voice. She quickly checked herself in the mirror a few times to make sure the hickeys that were left on her neck were concealed. Then, she went to open the door.

“Luca, come in!” Nina invited her to come in. She thought that Percy would not do anything to her if Luca was here.

Although she was not disgusted by him, Percy had taken advantage of her, after all. She refused to let this happen again.

It was uncertain and confusing…

Luca walked into the apartment and was surprised to see how messy it was. She was unable to recall that Nina was such a messy woman. “Why is it so messy?”

“I’ve been busy and forgot to clean up. Let me clean up now.” Nina looked at the mess. She was so busy concealing the hickeys that she forgot to clean the place up.

Nina felt embarrassed for showing Luca the messy side of her.

Luca shook her head and said, “Let me do it.”

“No, no. You’re the guest. I’ll do it. Please wait for a while. I can clean up real fast.” Nina endured her sore body and got ready to clean up.

Luca grabbed her hand and said, “Are you sure you have the stamina to clean up?”

Nina blinked her eyes with a surprised expression on her face. “What do you mean?”

Luca pointed at her neck. “Here. You didn’t blend it well. I saw it.”

Nina touched her neck unconsciously. How did that happen? She was pretty sure she had concealed them carefully. How could Luca find out with just a glance? “It’s a mosquito bite. Don’t get me wrong!”

"Alright. Let me clean up for you." Luca smiled and shook her head. She cleared the empty packets of snacks on the coffee table away and threw the bottles into the trash bin.

As Nina watched Luca clean up for her, her legs could no longer support her. She sat on the couch.

She felt very uncomfortable…

After Luca finished cleaning up the trash, she carried the trash bag and put it in the dumpster in the corridor. Then, she picked up the vacuum cleaner and began to clean the floor.

Nina said hurriedly when she saw her, “Luca, you’re the guest. How can you do these for me?”

"It's been days since you cleaned the floor. I'm a little particular about cleanliness. If you'd like me to make myself comfortable here, then just let me do it. Otherwise, I'm leaving." Luca could see how tired Nina was from her eyes, but she did not question what actually happened.
