Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2103

Madam Mallory was not as nervous as Pierre upon hearing the news. "There’ll always be someone willing to step up if you offer enough money."

"I don't have that much cash on hand now," Pierre confessed. He had already lost a lot of money to his business partners because of the closure of many industries. On top of that, he bought a bidding document from Abel and placed an order to assassinate Luke.

He did not have much money on his hands now.

If there was no one to help him, he would have to use the company's cash. However, at this stage, he did not need to do so.

Pierre knew that Madam Mallory would not let him stoop so low.

"Don't worry. Go look for someone and tell me how much you need." Madam Mallory said exactly what Pierre thought she would.

Madam Mallory's response was within Pierre's expectations.

"I'll find a scapegoat." Pierre nodded. Although the latest development was beyond what he expected, it was not impossible to solve with Madam Mallory's help.

On the other hand.

Luke got a call from Old Master Crawford and learned of the Mallory family’s so-called workaround, which he had expected.

After all, Pierre would not learn his lesson just from this incident.

"I see. Thank you for making the trip anyway." Luke thanked him. Although Old Master Crawford was his grandfather, he was no longer involved in the company's affairs, so he should thank him for his effort.

"No trouble. It's just that Pierre's face is annoying. Luke, stay away from him." Old Master Crawford knew that Luke was not close to Pierre to begin with, but he could not help himself from reminding him.

"I know," Luke said. Old Master Crawford ended the call.

He looked up at the view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Luca was playing with the children outside. They looked happy engaged in snowball fights.

Early this morning, the kids woke up and stood in unison at the door of Luca's bedroom to wait for her to get up.

When he saw that, Luke also stood at her bedroom entrance and waited for her.

Luca came out after washing up and was very surprised to see them.

School was closed because there was a blizzard. After breakfast, the children pestered Luca to play in the snow with them outside.

Luca saw how excited the children were, so she put on some layers and played with them in the courtyard.

Luca opted to skip work for the kids.

Luke stood in the house and watched as the kids laughed their hearts out. The company of a mother was important to them.

He wanted to seize the opportunity so that Luca could stay with the children at ease.

Aunt Neile went over to him and asked, "Sir, you and Dr. Craw will both have lunch at home today, right?"

"Mm," Luke said. He did not plan to go to the office as well.

"Okay, I'll make the necessary preparations." Aunt Neile nodded and returned to the kitchen.

Luca played with the children outdoors for half an hour before she returned indoors with the satisfied children.

Although it was icy and snowy outside, the children had satisfied smiles on their faces.

Luca looked at Tommy, who had snot hanging from his nose. She shook her head with a helpless smile, took out a tissue, and wiped it for him.

"Ms. Luca you’re so gentle." Tommy enjoyed her doting on him.

Luca touched his head and looked at Lanie and Rainie. "Aren't you cold? Don't take off your jackets yet."

"I’m not cold," Rainie said with a smile.
