Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 180

She breathed in the man’s refreshing scent. After gasping for air for a while, Bianca finally settled back into reality.

“Did you have a nightmare?” Luke’s cold lips pressed on her forehead. Then, his large hand pushed her messy hair behind her ear. He looked at her fair face and wet eyes. He said softly, “Don’t be scared. I’m not going anywhere.”

Bianca felt glad. She was glad that it was just a nightmare.

The reality she saw after she opened her eyes was not as bad as her nightmare.

One of her hands grabbed the man’s firm waist while another grabbed the shirt in front of the man’s chest. She opened her mouth after she heard the man’s comforting words, but she did not say anything.

The air in the small room plunged into silence.

After a long while, Bianca’s limbs regained feeling. Then, she removed her hands from his waist and chest.

The shirt that Luke was wearing was wrinkled after Bianca let go.

“I’m sorry. I-I’ll iron it for you.” Aside from this, Bianca had no other words.

After she said that, she was about to get up.

Luke pulled her back and pressed her in his arms. He said firmly, “Sleep more. It’s still early.”

The man’s hot breath landed on her cheek and ear. The atmosphere between the two of them became sweet and intimate all of a sudden.

Perhaps the temperature today was higher and Luke was beside her, so the air around Bianca felt all warm and toasty.

It was easier for her to fall asleep.

Ever since she was 18, she rarely slept in.

The temperature of Luke’s body and the air around him felt safe. Bianca admitted that she would sometimes feel reluctant to give him up.

Whatever. She would just treat this as her being semi-conscious. She was allowed to cling to him.

Her trembling eyelashes finally calmed down. Her heavy breathing after she woke up slowly calmed down as well.

This time, Bianca did not have any nightmares after she fell asleep.

…

The bed in the bedroom was not big.

Even though it was a queen-sized bed, it was not enough for two adults, especially a tall adult with long legs. There was no room for the bottom half of his legs.

When Bianca slept here with the five-year-old Rainie, she did not dare to move too much. She was worried that she would fall on the child.

Luke was tired, but he did not sleep.

He had stayed in the office until 5 AM. There was no traffic in the morning, so after he went back to the rented apartment, it was not even 5:30 AM.

He opened the door with the spare key before going over to his son’s room.

The little guy had his leg over the blanket, having kicked it away. He was sleeping soundly and was snoring lightly.

After putting the blanket on his son, he went to Bianca’s room.

Rainie was sleeping in a better position compared to Lanie. She would only change to one or two positions during the night.

When he was about to close the door and leave, he heard movements from the bed. He turned around and saw Bianca frowning. There was a sheen of sweat on her face, and she was stirring lightly on the bed with a pained expression.

Luke did not know what kind of nightmare she was having. He walked over and tried to wake her.

Bianca was sleep-talking. She rambled on and on, but it was unclear what she was saying.
