Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1764

Luca wrapped Lanie in her arms. She understood what the kids were thinking.

"Do you see me as one of those women as well?" she asked cautiously, worried that she would be hurt to hear from Lanie that the kids did not like her.

Lanie raised his head and looked at her with a firm gaze. "No, all of us like you, Ms. Luca. I don't know why but we’ve always thought that you’re affectionate and love us as our Mommy did. If it’s possible, we hope to be able to live with you for the days to come. Ms. Luca, although our daddy seems cold, he treats his lover gently and wholeheartedly. Rainie and I can guarantee it."

Luca noticed how Lanie was promoting Luke. She smiled and gently pinched his hand. "You like me but you're still young. You can't tell what kind of liking it is."

"We feel that whenever we see you, it’s like seeing our mommy. Ms. Luca, Daddy likes you very much and we like you very much too. Think about it. Don't reject Daddy just like that," Lanie said sincerely.

Luca felt disconcerted after hearing what Lanie said.

They liked her and she liked them.

How could a mother not love her children?

Nevertheless, they were in close proximity but were unable to acknowledge each other...

Luca sighed and replied, "You don't understand—"

"I know, I’m young and don’t know anything. However, trust that what I said is true. Rainie, Tommy, and I have thought about whether we would be unhappy if you were to become our mother. In the end, we found that we were able to accept it. Ms. Luca, even if you and Daddy can't be together, we all hope that we can see you every day. Please don’t move out..." Lanie rarely acted pampered with her.

Luca could not turn him down when she saw how Lanie acted. She said, "Give me some time to think about it, okay?"

"Okay, Ms. Luca. Even if you don't like Daddy, we’re so cute. There's no way you don't like us. If you don't stay with us, we'll be miserable. I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of news on TV and in newspapers about how babysitters abuse children, right? You wouldn't have the heart to put us in that situation, will you?" Seeing that she did not agree right away, Lanie knew that he had to keep a hold on Luca.

Luca was speechless, it was true that she would never put them in situations as such.

Lanie continued talking, "If we stay in Crawford Manor, it’ll be fine since Great-grandpa is there, so the maids won’t dare to do anything to us. However, if Daddy comes home late from working overtime, we only have the maids there to take care of us. Daddy says that he won't have the maids from Crawford Manor take care of us anymore because Grandma is back and needs people to take care of her. As such, he plans to hire a maid from outside, which means that a stranger might enter our home. The possibility of us being abused is higher."

Luca knew that Lanie was trying to force her hand and thought that no one would dare to abuse such a smart kid.

If they were abused, they definitely would not let it go. They would tell Luke.

Luca could not bear looking at how miserable Lanie appeared. She knew that he was doing it to keep her around. She sighed and said, "Okay, let me think about it."

In the past, the one who was the least affectionate to her was Lanie.

Therefore, Luca never knew whether Lanie liked her. However, after she heard his speech, she knew that Lanie's attachment to her was no less than that of the other two children.

It was just that he was the eldest among the grandchildren of Old Master Crawford, so he had to appear mature and not show many emotions.

The reality was that they were all just children.

"Okay, Ms. Luca. You must think about it clearly. Don't be difficult as the other adults. Tell us how you truly feel. There’s no point in being difficult, don't you think?" Lanie said with a serious expression.

Luca did not expect that she would be schooled by his son.
