Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1796

"Stop it. Stop teasing me." Nina's words showed the pamperedness of a woman in love. "It's obvious that I don’t hold a place in your heart, so you didn't come to the hospital to pick me up."

"If I had shown up, wouldn’t it ruin your fun time with Mr. Mallory?" Luca listened to the tone of Nina’s voice and knew that something must have happened.

Otherwise, Nina would not be speaking in this tone.

Her words seemed to be covered with honey, which made Luca both relieved and envious.

Nina snorted and said, "I don't care. I was discharged from the hospital today and you didn't come to pick me up, so you must accompany me for dinner."

"Now?" Luca glanced at the time. It was not too late.

"Of course, there's no time like the present. Today's Sunday. I’ve informed Sue and booked the restaurant. The two of you must have a meal with me today." Nina shared her ultimate goal.

In the past few years that she and Percy were on and off, Sue and Bianca were the ones always by her side. Later, Bianca's personality changed and Luca appeared, seemingly replacing Bianca. Luca had been silently accompanying her, so Nina had to treat her to this meal.

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner to celebrate you finally finding a good match, and at the same time, to celebrate you being discharged from the hospital." Luca agreed.

Since there was no one to go back to in the villa tonight, it was not a bad idea to spend some time with Nina.

When she thought of that, she could not help being stunned. ‘When did I become so accustomed to Luke and the kids being by my side?’

It took a lot of time for her to accept that they would no longer be around. However, it had only been two days since they were not in the villa and she was already not used to it. She even felt a little bored.

Amid the feelings of boredom, there was also a feeling of not wanting to go back to the villa alone to face the silence there.

Nina was a little embarrassed and said, "I said I was going to treat you for a meal."

"We can decide it later. Will Mr. Mallory let you out of the house, though?" Luca continued to tease her in an attempt to get rid of the discomfort she felt internally.

"It doesn’t matter. I'm a person, not an object." Nina blushed and looked at herself in the mirror as she said that.

Luca got it right. It took some persuading before Percy let her have dinner with Luca and Sue. He eventually promised not to follow her.

"After all, you’re in your honeymoon period." Luca went to the taxi stand. There were no taxis around to pick up passengers because it was the weekend.

If it were a weekday, there would be more taxis waiting in line for people to get on.

"Honeymoon period? Mm, I’ll talk to you later. I'll send you the address via text. I’ll see you there." Nina blushed hard from Luca’s teasing and hurriedly hung up the call.

When she heard the busy tone, Luca put her phone back in her pocket.

She looked at the gradually fading sunset in the distance and could not help but enviously say, "How great."

She envied that Nina could get her happiness and grieved for her own unclear future.

Luca looked away. After waiting for some time, she still did not see a taxi coming, so she had to use a ride-sharing app to get a taxi. She rushed to the restaurant Nina had booked.

She walked into the restaurant, mentioned Nina's name, and was brought to a private room by the waiter.

Since the restaurant was relatively close to Sue's house, Luca saw the other two already sitting there when the door of the private room was opened.

When she saw Luca walk in, Nina smiled and said, "You're late. You have to drink for making us wait."

"I’m okay with drinking, but won’t you ask me why I'm late?" Luca pulled out a chair with a smile and sat down.

"Why?" Nina went with her and handed over the menu.
