Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 20

Luke did not even look at her. He just reminded her, “The food’s growing cold.”

With that, he turned around and went to her narrow little balcony, less than two meters squared, as though he knew the place like the back of his hand.

Bianca stayed frozen on the spot.

Luke acted like he owned the place, pulling out his box of cigarettes as he walked. After that, he tapped a cigarette out of the box and put it in his mouth, lighting it.

His every action was so smooth and cool.

This was her house, but the two children sat at the table with their spoons, looking at their empty bowls and waiting to be fed as though she owed them food. Still, they were obedient and very adorable.

The only problem was the adult over there. He was completely disregarding her as the owner of this house.

Anyone else would at least be polite enough to explain how they got inside.

…

Bianca first served the children food, but she did not eat anything herself. Instead, she hid in the kitchen.

She had done basically everything Blanche and Rainie’s mother should be doing, and she was not getting paid for this either.

This was not sustainable.

Bianca thought that the kitchen would be her little safe haven, but she was wrong.

The unique smell of tobacco assaulted her nostrils.

When she looked up, she was surprised to meet a deep and complicated gaze.

All of a sudden, Bianca was frazzled. It felt like even the air around her had gone still because his body was in the way.

He had her trapped in a corner with her body…

This suffocating feeling left Bianca extremely anxious.

She just wanted to leave.

When she took a step forward, though, she was blocked even more vehemently!

Bianca raised her head abruptly and looked at him, warning him not to push things too far!

At the same time, Luke’s gaze fell on her soft-looking lips.

His look made her turn her head away in an instant.

“Miss Bea, why aren’t there any onions in the food you make…?” Rainie’s voice reached her eyes, accompanied by the sound of her spoon clinking against the bowl.

Bianca’s face heated up, and she replied, “...I don’t eat onions.”

While she spoke, Bianca tried to leave.

It was much safer to interact with the kids than stay in the kitchen.

However, she had barely taken a step forward when the man pressed his hand on her shoulder, pinning her down.

“Are you crazy—?” Bianca could not help but exclaim out loud. Her heart racing, she raised her head and met the gaze of the man looking down at her from above.

There was something in Luke’s cool gaze, an inexplicable, indescribable suppression of her masculine desires. He looked at her but did not say a thing.

“What are you doing?!” Bianca struggled in terror.

The deepest depths of Luke’s eyes were like an abyss. When she looked into his eyes, Bianca felt like she was slowly getting sucked into them. It was a petrifying feeling.

At the same time, she just could not break free.

She was this close to crying out of frustration.

“Please be aware of yourself, Mr. Crawford!” There were kids here, so Bianca did not dare to make it too explicit, lest she pollute the flowers of the future.
