Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1985

Luke nodded. "As such, we can only start from you."

Ray smiled wryly. He was envious of the friendship between Luke and Gordan. He joked, "Sometimes, it doesn’t seem like the two of you are friends. You’re like brothers."

"Is that so?" Luke responded briefly and said nothing else.

Gordan had helped him, so it was natural for him to return the favor.

Luke was not an ungrateful person.

Ray nodded. The issue that was causing his headache might be resolved with Luke's help.

"What's going on with you and Luca?" He changed the subject and asked Luke what had been on his mind.

He thought that Luke and Bianca would be together forever seeing how sweet they were before. Unexpectedly, Bianca was kidnapped.

As time went by, he was surprised that Bianca did not stay by his side.

Eventually, Luca had taken Bianca's place. Ray, who was never a gossipy person, was curious.

"There are some things that I'm not comfortable talking about." Luke did not tell Ray directly about him and Luca, nor did he plan to tell him about Luca's true identity.

He firmly believed that the fewer the people who knew about it, the better.

Ray knew that something was up. "Is there more than meets the eye to this matter?"

Luke nodded and responded, "Somewhat."

"Since you’re uncomfortable sharing, then I won't ask." Ray was understanding. Since Luke did not want to talk about it, he would not press him for it.

"Thanks." Luke thanked him for being considerate

Ray nodded and said, "I'll push you out."

"I can do it myself," Luke said. The villa had an elevator, which made it easy for him to go up and down the floors. He controlled the wheelchair and headed to the elevator with Ray following closely behind.

Since Luke said he did not need help, Ray did not step in. He could not help but sigh in admiration as he watched Luke move forward indifferently.

Some people, even if they were in a wheelchair, were still so powerful that they could not be ignored.

After they stepped into the elevator, Luke raised his eyebrows as he looked at Gordan, who was leaning against the corner of the elevator.

Gordan's tone was depressed. He looked at the two of them with his hands crossed in front of his chest. "Are you done talking?"

Luke looked at his bruised face, half of which was swollen. He no longer looked handsome. “We’re done talking."

"I have something to talk to you about, too." Gordan shot Ray a pissed look, then looked at Luke.

Luke noticed his depressed expression, glanced at the time, and said, "Is half an hour enough?"

After half an hour, he had to go back to the hotel and prepare for the bidding the next day.

"That’s enough. Let's go." Gordan pushed Luke's wheelchair out of the elevator. He rubbed shoulders with Ray on purpose as he passed by and snorted.

It was clear he was trying to provoke him.

In the past, Ray would have beat him up again, but this time, he held back.

Luke had just solved a problem for him. He did not want to pick on Gordan in front of Luke.

Gordan pushed Luke into his bedroom.

"This is your bedroom?" Luke asked. The spacious bed only had one pillow.

Vivian did not dare to open the door. She was going to bring some tea to Luke, but after hearing what Gordan said, she could only leave in despair.

Although she had heard plenty of words filled with disgust and ridicule over the years, she still felt hurt when she heard Gordan's words.

No matter how gentle and sensible she was, she could not get into Gordan's heart.

Perhaps, she should not expect anything, nor should she restrain him anymore...

The two in the bedroom did not know that Vivian had stood outside and overheard their conversation.

Gordan continued talking, "What did you talk to Ray about?"

"I can't tell you," Luke said. Although he trusted Gordan, Gordon regarded Ray as an enemy because of Vivian. Luke was unsure if Gordan would do something to hurt Ray after he knew about Ray's troubles.

Gordan was even more upset. "Are we brothers or are you and him brothers?"

"You’re my brother from another mother," Luke said. "However, what we talked about has nothing to do with you. There’s nothing that you can do to help."

"Ugh..." Gordan took a deep breath. There was nothing that he could do since Luke refused to talk. He was irritated when he thought of how there was a secret between them that he was not aware of. "Then tell me about what’s happening with Luca."

Although Luke had not told him much, he sensed that there was more than met the eye.

"I can't tell you about that as well. When the time comes and I need your help, I'll tell you everything," Luke said. He was unsure if he would gain anything from coming back to Russia.

Luke did not know where he needed Gordan's help.

"You’ll only ask me for help when you need it? Brother, I thought we’re brothers from another mother," Gordan said, dissatisfied.

"I'll let you know if the matter is resolved." Luke glanced at his watch. "It's almost time. I'm going back to the hotel. Don't ask so many questions. Make sure you treat Vivian well."
