Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1837

Luca thought Jack was acting a little weird.

In the past, Jack had always been polite to her, but today, he was welcoming and kind.

That was how he acted toward her when she was still Bianca.

Luca nodded and sat on the chair.

Jack looked at her delicate facial features. Her looks were significantly different from what she used to look like. ‘In the past few years, she has been controlled by a mysterious organization and was even forced to change her face. She must have suffered a lot…’

He was distressed and could not help but blame himself for not protecting Luca well enough.

Luke cleared his throat. After Jack found out that Luca was his daughter, his mentality must have changed. However, the change should not be too obvious so as to not arouse Luca’s suspicions.

"Father-in-law, I’ve already ordered some dishes to share. They’re home-cooked dishes. I also ordered a bottle of wine,” he said.

"Did you go over the budget?" Jack came to his senses. He was deep in thought looking at Luca just now.

"No, don't worry," Luke said. As a politician, it was normal for Jack to lead by example.

"It's alright, Luca. I asked Luke to help me organize this dinner because I want to thank you." Jack found an excuse to see her.

"Thank me?" Luca was stunned. She had not done anything for the Norman family recently, so why did he want to thank her?

Jack explained, "You've been helping the Norman family all this time, treating your Aunt Queenie and..."

He paused, glanced at Luke, and continued, "You’ve helped us so much, but I haven’t even bought you a meal. Hence, I asked Luke to help arrange this."

Luca suddenly realized that it was because of this...

"Uncle Jack, you’re too kind. You and Mrs. Norman have previously invited me to eat at Norman Residence. That's good enough."

"How could that be? You saved their lives. A simple meal won’t do,” Jack said. He was not exaggerating at all. Luca did save Queenie and Leia.

He and Queenie never thought that the person who saved them was Bianca.

It was a pity that Queenie could not find out about Luca's current identity. If she knew that their daughter was by her side, she would be relieved.

Luca noticed how insistent Jack was, so she nodded and asked, "Where’s Mrs. Norman?"

"She has something to attend to, so she couldn’t come today," Jack said. He did not inform Queenie that he planned to meet with Luca. Queenie had been tired from taking care of Leia. She brought dinner to the hospital for Leia this evening, as she usually did for the last couple of days.

Luca nodded, guessing that Queenie was busy with Leia.

She was a little upset.

After all, Queenie had been overworked.

Luke rang the bell and asked the waiter to start serving. When the dishes arrived, Jack was satisfied. He nodded and talked to Luca warmly.

Luca felt a little uncomfortable.

Jack normally treated outsiders with a lukewarm attitude. He would be gentle and refined while maintaining a certain distance from others.

After they ate, Jack watched Luca for a while before he left.

Luca followed Luke to the counter, and after they left the hotel, she could not help but say, "Today..."

"What?" Luke turned around to look at her.

In the dark night, his body was entirely shrouded by the light from the streetlamps. When he looked at her, the light in his eyes flickered.

She forgot to speak.

The phone rang a few times, and there were two text notifications.

Luke raised his eyebrows. ‘Who would look for Luca at this hour?’

Luca was not bothered by it and drove the car intently.

After she parked the car in the parking lot of the villa, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she still remembered how to drive and got them home safely...

She took out her phone and glanced at the time. Those who were up now were likely partying or drinking. After all, it was already ten o'clock in the evening...

She did not expect Jack and Luke to have so much to talk about.

She opened her call log and found that Enoch Campbell was the one who called her...

She checked her texts and they were from Enoch as well...

He called her at this hour only for one purpose, to ask her out...

Enoch had been taking the initiative to chat with her. Although she had told him many times that she was busy with work, Enoch was still interested. She did not respond with much enthusiasm but he would still insist on chatting with her every day.

Moreover, during this period, he had also asked her out several times.

Luca glanced at Luke walking in front and could not help but be worried. She would never have caused such trouble for herself if she had been careful enough and Queenie did not get suspicious.

She touched her face. After plastic surgery, her facial features were more refined, so she was more liked by men.

Luca was puzzled.

Her phone vibrated again. It was another text.

Luca glanced at it. Enoch had set her a voice note.
