Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1722

The car was moving slowly and steadily. Luke did not turn on the radio this time. There was dead silence in the car.

The coat was still on Luca's shoulder. She turned around and looked at the man beside her. She pondered before lifting her hand to take off the coat.

Luke spoke, "Put it on."

"It's warm enough in the car. It's a little hot for me…" Luca explained. Luke turned on the heater once they got into the car as he was worried that she would catch a cold.

“It’ll be cold outside when you get out later,” Luke said, telling her to leave it on her.

Luca had no choice but to leave the coat on her. She looked outside the window and realized they were not going to Nina’s apartment.

"Mr. Crawford, are you going the wrong way?" she asked. He should have made a right turn just now if they were heading to Nina's place. The road they were driving on now would take them back to his apartment.

She thought Luke had accidentally taken the wrong turn.

Luke continued to drive forward without planning to turn back. “Percy wants to win Nina back.”

Luca nodded her head. She knew that, and she knew Percy had never given up. The current situation was just because he could not detangle himself from the Johnston family.

Then, Luke said, “It’s hard for Percy to make a move if you stay with Nina.”

Luca was startled. She had no idea that she was the third wheel.

She knew Percy wanted to win Nina back, but Nina had asked her to accompany her. There was no way she could reject her.

Moreover, judging from Nina’s personality, she did not like to be disturbed. Percy must have freaked her out. Otherwise, she would not have requested her to accompany her.

“Nina needs me to keep her company,” said Luca. Besides, her belongings were still at Nina’s place.

"She only wants to avoid Percy. She doesn't need someone to keep her company." Luke insisted as he parked the car below the apartment.

Luca realized they had already returned to the apartment, so she put on a helpless expression. “She’ll be worried if I don’t go back tonight.”

“Give me your phone.” Luke held out his hand.

Luca had no idea what he wanted to do, so she just handed her phone to him. She did not know if he did it on purpose but her fingers touched his palm. It was warm.

She took her hand back. The warm touch was like an electrical current quickly enveloping her body.

Luke glanced at her. He picked her phone up and tapped on the screen, but the screen was locked.

They had only gently touched each other just now, but Luca acted as though she had touched something she should not have touched. He changed his mind. Instead of asking her for the passcode, he held out his palm to her and grabbed her hand.

Luca was stunned. She thought of withdrawing her hand away unconsciously. “Mr. Crawford!”

"Unlock it." Luke held her finger and pressed it down to unlock her phone.

Luca realized what he was going to do. She bit the bullet and let him hold her hand without struggling to break free.

After the phone was unlocked, Luca withdrew her hand quickly. Remnants of his warm still lingered on the spot where he held her hand. She twiddled with her fingers gently and kept silent.

Luke noticed that something was wrong with her, but he did not expose her. He opened her contacts on her phone and found Nina’s number.

At the same time, he noticed that the name Luca had saved his number with was ‘Mr. Crawford’.

How formal…

Luke was slightly dissatisfied, but he sent a message to Nina: [Luca is drunk. I’ve brought her back to the apartment. You don’t have to wait for her tonight. Someone will come over to your apartment with the spare key and access card tomorrow. They’ll bring Luca’s belongings back.]
