Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1847

After she did everything, she went back to her bedroom to rest. However, she heard the noises of a car driving in and the engine turning off.

Luke had come back…

Luca made her way down the steps. When she stepped on the curtail step, she happened to see Luke walking into the house. He looked cold as he closed the door.

Luke frowned when he saw her and asked, “It’s late. Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”

“I was going to sleep, but I heard the sound of your car…” Luca looked at Luke's face. He still looked energetic, but she had no idea if he had his dinner already.

She asked, “Mr. Crawford, I saved some broccoli chicken casserole for you. Do you want some?”

Luke did not have his dinner, but it was well past dinner time. He was not feeling hungry either. However, when Luke heard Luca asking him that, he asked her, “You made it?”

“Yes. It only takes five minutes to reheat, then you can have it,” said Luca, remembering that Luke had a weak stomach.

“Alright. I’ll have it,” replied Luke.

Luca heard him and trotted to the kitchen, taking the broccoli chicken casserole out.

Even though she had tried to keep it warm, the food still turned cold as it had been a few hours…

Luca placed the food in the oven and set the timer. She thought that Luke was probably starving, but she did not prepare any soup today. Hence, she got him a glass of warm milk.

Luca held the glass of milk, headed to the dining room, and put it on the dining table. "Mr. Crawford, I didn't make any soup today. You can have some warm milk first."

Luke sat on the chair and took the glass of milk that Luca had prepared for him. He took one sip after another, enjoying the taste of the milk.

It was only a glass of ordinary milk, yet Luke was drinking it as though he was drinking wine or coffee. Luca’s face reddened as she watched him.

She had always been secretly obsessed with Luke’s elegance.

When Luca heard the oven’s timer ringing, she strolled to the kitchen immediately to get the heated food out of the oven. “Mr. Crawford, is it enough? I can make a grilled cheese sandwich if it’s not enough for you to eat.”

“It’s enough,” answered Luke. He knew Luca was worried that he had been starving the whole night and this might not be enough for him to fill his stomach. That was why she asked him. However, he was no longer as hungry now even after going without food for so long.

Still, when he smelled the fragrance of the food, Luke felt hungry at once…

As Luca watched Luke quickly finish the food on the dining table, she let out a sigh. Luke had indeed starved the whole night.

She felt embarrassed just watching him, so she said, “Mr. Crawford, just leave the plate here after you finish the food. The maid will clean it up tomorrow morning. I’m going upstairs first.”

“Sure.” Luke nodded. The food Luca prepared could really whet his appetite. He was not hungry at first, but he just wanted to devour everything on the plate now.

Luca returned to her bedroom and closed the door. She recalled the scene of Luke eating his dinner. Although he was still graceful, it could be considered as him gobbling up the food…

It must have been really hard for Luke…

For the sake of his children and the Crawford family…

Luca sat on the bed and pondered for a while. She turned off the lights when she heard the sound of someone climbing up the stairs. Then, she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.

She seldom relied on sleeping pills to sleep ever since she moved in here.

Even though Luke and her three kids were not beside her, she unknowingly felt at ease. She could sleep well even without taking the pills.

Luke stood outside Luca’s bedroom door for quite some time. Then, he went to the kids’ rooms to check on them. He only returned to his bedroom after that.

He had been guiding the employees in the design department to amend the parts that did not meet the document’s requirements the whole night. He would probably sleep in the office if it was not because he was worried about Luca and the kids. There were so many other things to do at the moment.
