Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2098

Luca was explaining to him.

After the meeting ended, she saw the missed call from Luke.

However, she gave up the idea of calling him back after she saw the time. It was late, and Luke must have already slept…

She did not expect to see the villa brightly lit up when she came back. Luke was even working in the living room, waiting for her.

“I know.” Luke saved the file and closed the computer screen.

Luca glanced at the time. It was already 12, yet Luke waited for her until now…

“Mr. Crawford, aren’t you going to sleep?” she asked.

Luke stood up. “Has the drug research been taken care of?”

“No, there’s data that does not match the hypothesis. We’re still trying to find out why,” said Luca. After having a meeting that lasted the whole day, they still had not found where the problem came from.

“No rush. Take your time. Go rest,” said Luke.

Luca nodded and was about to head upstairs when she heard him say, “I’ve picked up the children.”

“They’re back?” She was a little surprised, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she missed the three kids too.

“Yes, they made a lot of noise about wanting to come back. When they found out that you were at the company working overtime, they wanted to sleep in the first-floor living room and wait for you to come back. But I didn’t allow it,” Luke brought up the children, telling her how much they cared about Luca.

Luca suddenly felt guilty. “I’ll keep it down when going upstairs.”

“It’s alright. Let’s go. I’m going upstairs to rest too,” said Luke as he felt relieved after waiting up for Luca.

Although he knew that she was working overtime at the company, he would still be restless if he did not get to see her.

Now that he had seen her, he finally had peace of mind.

“Alright.” Luca nodded and went upstairs with him.

The two of them walked to their respective bedrooms. Luca turned to look at Luke, then walked into her room and gently closed the door behind her.

Luke fixed his eyes on her tightly shut door. They were only one door away…

He had to overcome this obstacle quicker.

…

The following day.

In the Mallory family’s manor.

Percy dragged the reluctant Pierre into the Mallory family’s manor. Mr. Bennet was stunned to see that Pierre’s hands were tied up and was about to ask what was going on when Percy asked, “Is Grandpa awake?”

“Old Master Mallory is awake. He’s having tea in the living room.” Right after Mr. Bennet replied, Percy continued dragging Pierre forward.

“Master Percy, what’s wrong with you? Why did you tie up Second Young Master?” Mr. Bennet chased after him and asked.

“Stay out of it.” Percy dragged the furious Pierre forward.

Pierre felt like he had lost his dignity. When had the untouchable Second Young Master ever been so humiliated in front of these butlers and maids?

“Will you let go of me?”

Percy ignored his words and pulled him directly in front of Old Master Mallory.
