Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1960

Mrs. Laurel listened to Luca. She nodded and agreed with her. "You're always so attentive. I'll do as you told me. What should I do?"

Luca looked down. Even though she had done so many things, she still felt guilty. “Please help me prepare some side dishes.”

“Alright.” Mrs. Laurel agreed happily. She had no idea that there were so many complicated things running through Luca’s mind.

Luca was able to finish preparing the noodles quickly. The bread was spread with butter and put into the toaster.

Then, she started to make coffee.

Luca made a pot of coffee after she ground the coffee beans and filled it in the thermos flask.

“Aunt Laurel, I’ve finished preparing. I’m guessing that they’re still busy. Why don’t we bring these in?” said Luca.

“That’s a good idea.” Mrs. Laurel nodded and put the bowls of noodles on the tray.

“Wait, Mr. Crawford can’t drink coffee. Let me make a glass of juice for him.” Luca remembered that Luke had not been drinking coffee for a long time. He must be craving it.

However, Luke was still not allowed to drink any coffee. He had to watch the others drink it while he could not. Thus, Luca took some fresh oranges out and quickly squeezed some juice.

Mrs. Laurel smiled when she saw Luca squeezing the oranges.

That was why Old Master Crawford was assured that Luca would be able to take care of Luke well. She was thoughtful and attentive. Even if they looked for a professional caretaker, she might not be able to take care of Luke that well.

On the other hand, Luca did a good job.

Luca placed the glass of juice on the tray after she squeezed the oranges. Then, she put the pot of coffee and toasted bread on the tray. She said, "Thank you. And please remind Mr. Crawford that he's not allowed to drink the coffee."

“Okay,” replied Mrs. Laurel as she carried the tray and walked into the maid’s room.

Luca was still spacing out in the kitchen. She refused to go into the room. She did not want to face the three of them.

It would remind her of what she had done if she were to see them handling their work. More than a hundred people had been working tirelessly for days, but their efforts would be for naught.

Luca looked at her hands. Not only were her hands stained with blood, but they were also stained with something else…

It was more than a hundred people’s effort…

She looked at the two bowls of noodles left. One was for Mrs. Laurel, while the other was for her.

Luca did not take the bowl of noodles out. Instead, she ate it in the kitchen.

Mrs. Laurel returned to the kitchen after she delivered the breakfast for them. She asked with confusion when she saw that Luca did not go out to eat. “Ms. Luca, why are you eating in here?”

“It’s the same regardless of where I eat.” Luca smiled. She felt a little bitter in her heart.

It was the same wherever she went, but it was different at the same time…

Mrs. Laurel sensed something was wrong with her and asked caringly, “Ms. Luca, is there something in your mind?”

“It’s nothing. Are they happy with the breakfast?” Luca asked.

Mrs. Laurel smiled when Luca mentioned the breakfast. “The two guests are happy with the breakfast. But Mr. Crawford isn’t very happy with it.”

“It’s probably because of the glass of juice.” Luca was able to figure it out in a second.

“Yes. He wants to have coffee, but he can’t now. So, he can only watch the guests drink it.” Mrs. Laurel held her smile back. Luca really knew Luke so well.

Luca ate two mouthfuls of noodles. The noodles tasted good, but she had no appetite.

“Luke likes to drink coffee. It’s normal,” said Luca. She poured the rest of the noodles into the trash bin.

A gleam flashed across Mrs. Laurel’s eyes. She nodded and went along with Luca, “Yes. Mr. Crawford mentioned that the coffee you make smells good. It’s a pity he can’t have any of it.”

“I’m going upstairs if there’s nothing else.” Luca did not continue her conversation with Mrs. Laurel. Everything she said was related to Luke. The more Luca listened to it, the more guilty she felt.
