Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1828

Luca looked at her expression. It seemed like she was not telling a lie. She then pushed the door open and said, “Come on in.”

Nina walked into her bedroom and looked at the simplistic design. She nodded her head and turned around to look at Luca. “To be honest, Luca, will I be a nuisance if I stay here for the night?”

“Not at all. Luca opened the closet and took out a brand new pair of pajamas that she had never worn. “On the contrary, I’ll be reassured if you stay here. I’ve never worn this set of pajamas before. I’ll let you wear it for tonight, alright?”

Nina accepted it and said with a smiling face, “Thanks. But I know that you have a lot on your plate. If not for Percy not being reassured, I would never have come here to bother you. You don’t have to accompany me tonight and just do whatever you need to do. You just need to leave half the bed to me.”

“Alright, since you’ve said so, then I shall continue with my work,” said Luca. She sat on the chair in front of the dressing table and opened her laptop.

Nina nodded and said, “I’ll just make myself comfortable.”

“Of course.” Luca turned around and smiled. Her gaze then focused back on the screen as she resumed working.

Nina suddenly thought of Percy when she saw the serious look on Luca. ‘I’m guessing he’s currently frustrated over Madison’s issue.’

All of them seemed to be very busy except for her.

Nina dared not express her feelings to Luca, but she could not help herself. She wanted to know about Madison’s condition and her recovery progress.

The netizens were still cursing her on the internet and things were getting worse.

Nina read the harsh comments the netizens left her and thought to herself. ‘If they learn that I was the first to get together with him, will they still curse me?

‘They probably will. In their opinions, Madison is the victim…’

Nina continued scrolling down. Looking at the criticisms, she could confirm that Percy had not hired anyone to suppress the hate comments. ‘What's he up to right now?'

Luca felt that Nina was being way too quiet. She turned around to look and saw her sitting on the sofa while looking at her phone. "Don't worry. This issue will be over before you even realize it."

Nina lifted her head, and her eyes seemed teary. She would be lying if she said that she was alright. Madison attempted suicide, and she felt bad about it.

"How do you know that?"

"Because Mr. Mallory is very capable. You shouldn’t bother reading those comments. Perhaps by tomorrow, there’ll be a drastic shift in public opinion. Even though Mr. Mallory is very capable, you still got to give him some time to sort it out," Luca said despite having no idea what Percy was up to. Even at this point, no one had stepped forward to clarify things.

However, she believed that Percy would not just give in to the Johnston family’s plans.

Nina could not help but tease, "Are you trying to stand up for him? Say, how much did Percy give you?"

"I'm just trying to comfort you. He didn't give me a penny, but since I comforted you, perhaps you should be the one paying me instead.” Luca teased back with a smile.

"I have no money, but you can always look for me if you need company.” Nina waved her hand.

"That’d be great, but Mr. Mallory wouldn’t approve of that,” Luca muttered softly. Seeing that Nina's mood was much better now, Luca turned around and continued with her work.

Tommy was standing outside of the bedroom, just staring at them.

He heard their conversation and wished to talk to his mother as well.

Luke went upstairs and saw his little son looking just like an abandoned child as he stood outside of Luca's bedroom. It was clear he was feeling aggrieved. He shook his head helplessly and asked with a smile, "Why aren't you returning to your room, Tommy?"
