Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1875

"Ms. Luca, I like you as much as Tommy and Rainie do. I want your concern and love as well," Lanie said in a serious tone when he noticed Luca's guilty expression.

Lanie was not always a light sleeper.

Lanie’s sleep quality became poorer and poorer after Bianca’s impostor moved to Crawford Manor.

Back then, the impostor was trying to play the role of a good mother.

However, there were no blood ties between them. No matter how hard Lanie tried to convince himself, he always felt that something was wrong. That was why he would wake up whenever the impostor tried to enter his bedroom to tuck him in.

He would also often hear loud noises in the middle of the night back then. That was when his sleep routine underwent a drastic change.

Luca blinked her eyes. She was a little surprised. Lanie’s personality resembled Luke’s. He normally would not say such things.

Luca walked toward Lanie’s bed and sat down. “Lanie, why?”

“It’s because you’re a gentle person. We can feel the warmth of a mother when you care for us,” answered Lanie. He told Luca about the vulnerabilities in his heart. “Ms. Luca, we only had Daddy and Great-grandpa in our lives before you showed up. We were envious of other children for having a mother by their side. It was until you came into our life that we didn't have to be envious of other children anymore.”

Luca’s gaze turned gentle when she listened to what her son said.

It was because she was their mother.

“Alright. I’ll pay more attention when I open the door next time so that I won’t disturb you. It’s safe here. You don’t have to worry that something bad will happen. Get some rest.” Luca stroked Lanie’s head.

Lanie nodded. The usual cool expression on his face turned into a shy smile.

Luca tucked Lanie in when he lay down on the bed. “Goodnight, Lanie.”

“Goodnight, Ms. Luca.” Lanie closed his eyes.

Luca picked up the book that Lanie had put on his bedside table and glanced at it. It was a science book.

Lanie was not interested in storybooks and fairy tales. The books on his bookshelf were all books related to science.

Luca put the book back on the shelf. She noticed that all the books on the shelf were on the same topics. She muttered to herself, ‘Will Lanie be reading books about finance and economics when he grows up?'

Luca turned around and glanced at Lanie, who was on his bed. She tip-toed out of his room and closed the door.

It was quiet at night. Luca could not hear anything.

Luca let out a sigh when she returned to the bedroom. She looked at the briefcase on the dressing table. She sat down on the chair, picked up her phone, and asked about Nina's situation.

[Nina, how are you holding up?] Luca sent a message to Nina.

Nina replied after a while: [I’m still dealing with it. Are you alright?]

[I’m alright. Just tell me if you need anything.] Luca put down her phone after she replied to Nina’s message and continued with her work.

…

On the other hand.

Nina was dealing with Jean’s matter at the hospital. She was overwhelmed as it was quite a serious matter.

Jean had gone drinking at a bar. Then, he got into a fight with someone because of a woman. He made a mess at the bar and injured that person badly. However, he refused to stop fighting. In the end, Jean smashed the man’s head with a bottle and seriously injured him.
