Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1725

“I was waiting for you.” Pierre was smoking a cigarette and sitting in the car with one of his legs on the ground. He looked lazy.

The smile on Jean’s smile disappeared. Pierre was waiting for him.

Jean would take different paths every day. However, Pierre had easily found him and stopped him at the junction. It clearly showed that he was capable enough to find his whereabouts.

Otherwise, he would not have blocked him at this junction.

“Mr. Mallory, what’s the matter?” Jean moved his motorcycle beside. He dared not to run away.

Even though it was an alley and he could just turn around and escape on his motorcycle, Pierre would be able to block him again if he had already done it once.

There was no way for him to escape, so he had no choice but to face Pierre.

Pierre gave Jean a malicious look. Jean was trembling with fear. “Are you shaking? Am I that scary?”

“No. I just feel a little cold.” Jean refused to admit that he was scared of him.

"Cold?" Pierre sneered and invited him, saying, "Mind getting in the car and having a talk with me? My car has a heater."

Jean shook his head immediately. He did not have the guts to get into Pierre’s car. “No, no. My shirt is dirty. I’m afraid that I’ll ruin your car. Mr. Mallory, what can I do for you?”

When he asked the question again, Pierre did not beat about the bush and asked, “Did you forget what I asked you to do?”

Jean shook his head immediately. He was shaking in front of him like a mouse surrounded by a cat. He was too afraid to move.

“I didn’t. How dare I forget your orders?”

“It’s been quite some time. Why hasn’t Nina come to me? Didn’t you promise me that you can do it?” Pierre leaned his body forward slightly. He hated double-dealers the most. Jean promised him but he did not fulfill his promise. That was why he purposely waited for him here.

Even though Jean's whereabouts were inconsistent, he could still figure out where he was and block his way.

Jean shivered and said, "Mr. Mallory, to be honest, I was discharged from the hospital not long ago. I need some time to carry out what you've asked me to do."

“It’s been two days. Are you still telling me that you’ve just gotten out of the hospital? Do you think I have no idea that you went looking for Nina on the day you were discharged? As a brother, why couldn’t you convince her? Is it because you think I’m not paying you enough? That’s why you didn’t try your best, huh? Or are you refusing to work for me after taking my money?”

Jean was shaking all over. "No, no. How dare I not carry out the task you set for me?" Jean shook his head to deny it. "Mr. Mallory, I didn't manage to get a hold of my sister, but don't worry. I'll talk to her today, and I'll try to convince her."

“Really?” Pierre looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, I swear!" Jean lifted his hand and swore. Then, Percy came into his mind. He was stuck in between, but Pierre, who was in front of him, looked scarier than Percy. At the thought of this, he had no choice but to say, "Mr. Mallory, I have something to tell you."

“Say it.” Pierre was impatient. The patience he spent on Nina was almost running out.

"I decided to tell you only because I can see that you like my sister very much. I'm telling the truth, and I'm not lying to you!" Jean was worried that Pierre might think that he was lying to him intentionally, so he emphasized his sincerity again.

“Say it!” Pierre shouted impatiently in a higher pitch.

Jean talked about Percy's matter as he shuddered, "I did go looking for Nina on the day I got discharged. But your brother, Percy, was there too. I couldn’t do anything. Besides, he's very protective of Nina and he asked me not to disturb her anymore. Your brother is interested in my sister too. I'm put in a difficult position."

Percy?

A vicious gleam flashed across Pierre's eyes. They were brothers, but Percy was always better than him—be it career or women.
