Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2097

Silence filled the bedroom as no one replied. It was as though his words fell on deaf ears.

Luke’s hands trembled, and his heart could not help but beat faster. He had never felt this anxious before…

“Luca, if you don’t say anything, I’m going in,” he said, yet there was still no sound.

Luke put his left hand on the door handle and pushed the door open without hesitation.

The lights in the bedroom were off, so he fumbled around the switch to turn on the lights. Luca was not inside.

Luke walked to the closet and opened the door.

Luca’s clothes were still hanging inside, along with her suitcase. It did not seem like she left.

The lump in his throat slowly disappeared. Although he did not know where Luca went, it seemed that she did not leave.

He took out his phone to call Luca.

Not being home this late meant that she must be busy with something, but it was hard to say what it was she was busy with.

Luke was worried that she was sent on another mission by the Island of Despair.

She had just returned. Even if the Island of Despair were to give her a mission, he did not think that now would be the time. Hence, he did not inform Gale and Rain to be on her tail here.

Listening to the ringing tone while waiting for the call to be answered annoyed Luke.

It rang about ten times but Luca did not answer. Luke frowned, and when the phone stated that the other end was currently unavailable, he dialed Aunt Neile’s number.

Aunt Neile picked up the phone. “Mr. Crawford, it’s late. What’s the matter?”

“Why isn’t Ms. Craw home?” asked Luke.

Aunt Neile replied, “Ms. Craw hasn’t gone home yet? After you left, she said that she had some matters to take care of at the company.”

“The company?” Luke frowned. What company matters could there possibly be that required her to handle?

He instantly thought of the research.

During this period of time, Luca had basically abandoned the research for the sake of M Group’s project. Moreover, when they were in Russia, he even instructed Zoey to tell the people in that department to leave Luca alone.

M Group’s project was more important, after all.

“Yes, that’s what she said. It’s already so late. Is she not back yet?” Aunt Neile wondered aloud.

“Perhaps she’s busy.” Luke hung up. He was still worried, but he did not call Luca. If she was really busy with the research at T Corporation, it was normal practice for the employees to leave their phones in the office while they were in the laboratory.

He asked Tina for Zoey’s phone number.

Tina immediately gave it to him.

Luke dialed the number, and after Zoey picked up, he immediately cut to the chase. “This is Luke. Did Dr. Craw go to work today?”

Zoey was a little taken aback that the boss actually called her. Moreover, he called to look for someone.

She listened carefully and could hear the anxiousness in his voice.

Zoey guessed that Luke was worried about Luca. She quickly said, “Yes, Boss. Dr. Craw is still in a meeting right now.”

She was a little surprised when Rhett told her to inform the others about the meeting.

After asking around, she learned that Luca had just returned from Russia and wanted to have a meeting to deal with the current issues.

“Got it.” Luke hung up the phone and was finally relieved.

She was busy working at the company. She did not sneak away…

Zoey was puzzled after hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone.

That was it?

It seemed that the rumors in the company were true. Zoey shook her head as she thought of Jenni. She had given her heart to the wrong person.
