Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1810

Queenie looked at Jack and nodded after Luca gave her promise. Then, she said, "I shouldn't be keeping you any longer. See you later."

“Sure,” replied Luca.

Queenie hung up the call first.

Jack asked again, “Should we invite Luke too?”

“You’re thinking about figuring out if there’s anything suspicious between them, right?” Queenie knew what he had in mind, and Jack nodded.

“Actually, it was already very suspicious when they slept in the same bedroom last time. But we believed in Luke’s integrity, so we stopped suspecting him.” Queenie grabbed her husband’s hand and added, “I know you believe in Luca. I’d like to believe that she’s not that kind of person either. I’m just trying to get her to talk tonight, so there’s no need to ask Luke to come over too.”

“Alright.” Jack did not say anything knowing that Queenie had her own plans. After all, he wanted to find out whether or not he was wrong about Luca too.

Queenie stood up when Jack agreed with it. She said, “Then I’ll go get ready.”

“Wait, did you just come back from the hospital just now?”Jack asked.

"Yes." Queenie nodded. Leia suddenly felt uncomfortable a few days ago, so she was admitted to the hospital again. "I ran into Mrs. Mallory when I walked out of Leia's ward."

Jack nodded.

Then, Queenie asked again, “What’s wrong?”

Jack did not tell her what he was thinking about to prevent her from getting worried again. Therefore, he said, "Nothing. Go back and get ready."

“Okay.” Queenie knew he had something else to do, so she turned around and left.

After Jack sent Queenie out of the door, he made a call. “Find out what’s going on with the Mallory family these days.”

Jack hung up the phone after he gave his orders and sat on the office chair, pondering.

His men were quite slow in investigating things, but there was no way he could ask Luke for help now.

He could feel there was a huge mystery shadowing the Crawford and Norman families after things had come this far.

Perhaps Luke knew about it, but he chose not to tell him. If that was the case, he must be trying to protect the Norman family or someone else.

Was it Luca he wanted to protect?

Jack shook his head. It seemed like other than handling his work, he would have to find out what Luke was up to.

…

It was six-thirty in the evening. Luca was still working in her office.

She glanced at the time, then at the documents that she had yet to complete. She was not anxious about them as she thought that there would be enough time for her.

Luke walked into her office without knocking on the door or making any sound.

Luca was keenly aware that someone had come in. She looked up and realized it was Luke. She was slightly startled and stood up unconsciously to greet him, “Mr. Crawford.”

Luke looked at the documents on her table and nodded. He said with a cold voice with his hands in his pockets, “Still busy?”

"No, there are just some documents left," replied Luca while wondering why he was here.

"There aren’t many left. Leave them for tomorrow." Luke glanced at the folders. She had the habit of keeping the completed documents on her right-hand side while the unfinished ones were kept on her left. It was just like how Luke did it.

Now, there was only a white-colored folder on her left. The white-colored folder was not an important folder either.

“It’ll only take me half an hour to finish it,” said Luca. When she sat down and planned to continue with her work, she suddenly thought that Luke might have come to see her because of something else.

She lifted her head and looked at Luke’s expressionless face. She had gotten used to his gentleness back then, so she was still not used to seeing him being cold to her. “Mr. Crawford, are you waiting for me to get off work?”

“Off you go.” Luke brought the folder along with him and left the office first.

Luca looked at the man's tall figure from behind and let out a sigh. She knew Queenie would not invite her for dinner without reason.

If it was not about Leia, then it was probably because of Luke’s affair.

If Madam Mallory really had nothing better to do, she would definitely secretly plot against her. However, she hoped that the reason Queenie came looking for her was not that Madam Mallory was talking nonsense about her behind her back.

She had no idea how she was going to explain herself if it was really because of Madam Mallory’s actions.

Could she insist that there was nothing between her and Luke?

However, they were already staying together. Who would believe that? If Jack had sent someone to investigate this matter, he would be able to spot loopholes in her words easily…

Luca stood there and waited for five minutes. She only packed and left after assuming that Luke had left.

She went downstairs, got out of the office, and hailed a taxi to head to Norman Residence.

It was already ten past seven in the evening when she reached Norman Residence.

Luca glanced at the time and secretly rejoiced that she was not too late for dinner. The Norman family usually had dinner around this time.

She rang the doorbell.

The maid came to open the door. She was not surprised to see Luca as Queenie had already told her about it. She greeted her passionately, “Ms. Luca, you’re here. Come on in.”

Luca smiled at her and entered.

She glanced at the garden on her left habitually. The rose bushes were already hibernating because of the weather. Queenie had trimmed them neatly so that they could bloom even more beautifully next year.
