Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1708

Nina chose an Italian restaurant nearby, added some dishes to her cart, and showed it to Luca.

Luca added another dish.

Nina saw it and said, "How is this enough? I'm treating you to this meal, so please order a few more dishes."

"I’ll leave the decision to you," Luca said.

Nina ordered several dishes before she submitted the order. "I always eat alone. Now that you’re with me, I finally have the opportunity to eat more dishes."

"You ordered so many. I doubt we can finish everything," Luca said. The dishes they ordered were enough for three or four adults.

"What does that matter? I'm overjoyed that we’re sharing a meal," Nina said. Her phone rang and she pressed to answer. "Hello, who is it?"

"Ms. Langdon, I’m calling from your property management. There’s a man at the door who claims to be your brother. We dare not let him go in without your consent. He has been wandering here. Can you kindly deal with it?" the man on the other end of the call said.

"Don't let him in." Nina’s mood turned sour as soon as she heard that Jean was loitering around her residence.

"We didn't let him in but he’s making a fuss at the gate. It’s not a pleasant sight. Are you his sister? Why don't you come out here and deal with him?" the man suggested. He felt a headache coming when he saw how insistent Jean was on staying in the area.

"He doesn't want to leave, right? Give him an ultimatum. If he doesn't leave, have the police take him away." Nina was ruthless. Although the property belonged to Percy, it was the only place that made her feel safe. She was not planning to move just yet.

She would never let Jean in to ruin her peace.

"Isn't he your brother? Would that be a good idea?" the man said.

"If he comes in, I’ll make a complaint. For the rest of the matters, you can decide for yourself." Nina finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Luca stood by her side and touched Nina’s head to comfort her.

"I don't want what’s left of my peace to be ruined by him. Luca, do you think that I'm ruthless?" Nina asked with her gaze lowered.

"No, you did the right thing. It’s not like Jean doesn't have anywhere to live," Luca said. She rubbed her head again and continued, "He's an adult and can take care of himself."

Nina nodded. She felt a little better with Luca’s comfort. Since she was a child, she was told that Jean was the only boy in the family and as his sister, she should give in to her brother.

Anna had never thought that Jean should ever give in to his sister.

Therefore, when she rejected Jean, she inevitably felt a little guilty.

Nina was glad to have Luca's comfort. Her guilt minimized following her gentle words.

"Yeah, I've taken care of him enough. Luca, thank you for reminding me of that." Nina's eyes became filled with tears as she felt the warmth of Luca’s palm.

Half an hour later, the delivery man called and said that the food had arrived. He was at the entrance and needed a pass to bring it in.

Nina was too lazy to go downstairs to pick up the food. Besides, her legs were sore, so she gave him the passcode.

After a while, the doorbell rang.

"It must be the delivery man. I'll open the door." Nina stood up.

Seeing how weak she was, Luca took her hand, stood up, and said, "I'll go open the door. Why don’t you go wash your hands and get ready to eat?"
