Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1713

Luca planned to do some light makeup and tie her hair casually, but Nina expressed her disapproval. She insisted on helping Luca get ready.

Over the years, to maintain her appearance despite her deteriorating mental state, she had acquired a certain level of skill in makeup.

After half an hour or so, Nina gave Luca a simple yet classic look. Luca looked gentle and virtuous. The makeup look was subtle and paired well with the gown.

"Nina, you’re amazing at this." Luca praised Nina as she looked at herself in the mirror.

Nina proudly said, "That's right! This makeup look makes your charming facial features softer and more elegant. It matches your gown well."

Luca nodded in agreement.

Nina took out Luca’s gown and urged her. "Come on, go and change."

Luca took the gown and was pushed out of the bedroom by Nina. Her eyes met Luke’s while he was sitting on the sofa. She retracted her gaze and walked into the bathroom.

Nina stood there and waited for her to change.

Luke asked, "Did you do her makeup?"

"Yeah, what do you think?" Nina was confident in her skills and asked him for his thoughts.

"Not bad," Luke commented.

Nina raised her brows. That was his style—a simple evaluation without any added feedback.

She knew that it would be difficult to get him to provide further feedback, so she did not push for it.

Luca changed into a gown in the bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror. She was in a daze.

The gown has been altered according to her size. The store manager was responsible and took the task very seriously. Every inch of the alteration was done perfectly. She could not find any faults to pick on.

The gown perfectly complemented her beautiful figure.

Luca was confident in her figure. She was not too shy to wear a gown like this. She would definitely be able to attract the attention of others.

However, Luke was sitting outside...

She felt a little nervous when she thought of walking out in this gown. Even though he had seen all of her long ago and they had been intimate, she was still shy.

Nina, who was waiting in the living room, saw that Luca still had yet to leave the bathroom after some time. Hence, she knocked on the door and said, "Luca, what's the matter? Did you eat too much today and can't zip yourself up?"

Luke raised his eyebrows. ‘Ate too much?’

"No, I can put it on." Luca's voice came from the bathroom.

"Great that you fit into it. Come out when you’re done. If you need help, let me know and I'll come in." Nina thought that the gown might be difficult to put on, which was why Luca was dawdling.

"Okay." Luca reluctantly opened the bathroom door.

Nina's eyes lit up. She took Luca's hand and twirled her around. "Beautiful! You look great in this gown, just like a model."

The gown was from the autumn collection. Luca subconsciously grabbed the lace on the sleeve and looked at Luke.

‘Does he think I look good too?’

It was not the first time that Luca had attended such a formal occasion with Luke. However, she was still nervous.

"Not bad." Luke met her gaze and commented. He looked cold on the surface but he was hot and turbulent on the inside. All he wanted was to hold Luca in his arms and cherish her.
