Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1721

Luca went to the washroom when the banquet was halfway through.

When she was in the cubicle, she coincidentally heard the two women outside talking about her.

“Who’s the woman who walked into the hall with Luke while holding the two kids’ hands? I remember that his wife doesn’t look like that,” one of the women asked.

“So, is she not really his wife? I thought I remembered it wrongly. Then who’s that woman?”

"Luke's wife is still abroad. There's no news of her returning here. Who knows who that woman is? After all, she looks well-behaved. Perhaps she's that kind of woman."

“What kind of woman?”

“A mistress. Isn’t it normal for a man as outstanding as Luke to keep a mistress?”

“That can’t be. How dare a mistress show up on such an occasion? Even if she dares to, Luke wouldn’t dare to bring her here. Isn’t he afraid of pissing off the old master?”

“I agree, but did you notice how close the kids are to that woman? I heard Susan mention that this woman’s identity is unknown and she refuses to say too much about it. She’s afraid that the old master will scold her if he finds out.”

“That’s not good. Let’s go. The Crawford family is really complicated. I thought Luke was a good man. I didn’t expect him to be someone like this.”

"Are there any men who never cheat on their woman? They just go undetected without getting caught by us. Come on, let's go."

Luca stood in the cubicle and listened to the two women discussing her. She shook her head helplessly. Susan was willing to go that far to ruin the Crawford family's reputation and talk nonsense to others.

She walked out of the cubicle. After she washed her hands, she left the washroom.

When she returned to the ballroom, many people were still looking at her. Luca ignored them and returned to her seat.

When Luca left her seat and went to the washroom just now, the people who were sitting at the same table with her asked Wanda and Queenie about Luca's identity almost immediately. Hence, both of them knew what the others were thinking of Luca.

Wanda held Luca's hand and felt that her palm was icy-cold. She frowned and asked caringly, "Are you alright?"

Luca shook her head, telling her that she was fine. Then, she picked up her spoon and continued to help herself with the food.

After the dinner ended, Luca thought of hailing a ride to go home. However, Zander walked toward her and said in a low voice, “Ms. Craw, Young Master Luke gave me his orders to ask you to stay here first. If you’re feeling tired or bored, you may head to the lounge to take a rest. He’ll send you home after he’s done sending off the guests.”

Luca was speechless. She thought of leaving secretly when Luke was not paying attention to her, but the man acted faster than her…

She had no choice but to nod her head, indicating that she understood.

Wanda heard their conversation, and a gleam flashed across her eyes. However, she did not say anything. She patted Luca's shoulder, smiled, and said, "Luca, I'm going home first. Let's keep in touch. Feel free to come to my house to have dinner when you're free."

“Sure.” Luca waved to her.

Zander left after he passed Luke’s message to her. After a while, he brought along the three kids with him.

Tommy leaned over on Luca’s lap and asked, “Ms. Luca, you haven’t left yet? Why don’t you follow us back?”

Luca shook her head and said, “It’s alright. I’m leaving after these people have left. It’s late. Hurry up and go home.”

Tommy could not bear to let her sit here alone, so he insisted, saying, “Ms. Luca, please follow us back home. Let Uncle Zander drive you home.”

Lanie looked at his younger brother who refused to leave their mother. He shook his head helplessly and said, “Someone will pick Ms. Luca up. Tommy, let’s go.”
