Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2134

“Of course.” Luca caressed the child’s head. After what happened previously, she did not purposely keep her distance from the children in front of the old master anymore. “By the way, where’s Lanie and Rainie?”

If they wanted to be close to her, then she would let them be.

After all, the days she spent with them were numbered.

“My brother and sister are upstairs doing their homework,” Tommy said with a smile, leaning even closer to her.

Luca simply put her arms around him.

Luke stood aside as he watched Luca and Tommy stick together eagerly, which did not make him jealous but made the corners of his mouth curl up into a smile instead. “I’ll go upstairs and keep the files.”

“Go ahead. I’ll entertain them here.” Old Master Crawford waved his hand without paying any attention to Luke.

He saw Luca’s concern for the children, which differed from other women. There was no pretense, and the affection in her eyes did not look like it was for show. She was not fake at all and was very suitable to be a mother to the children.

He ordered Mr. Griffin, “Here, pour some tea for Luca.”

“Yes, Old Master Crawford.” Mr. Griffin stepped forward and poured the flower tea he brewed into a clean and clear glass cup.

Old Master Crawford explained, “I heard that the flavor of the tea would be much more robust if it’s brewed this way, but this is all young people stuff. I don’t know much about it. Luca, try and see what this flower tea tastes like.”

It would be rude to decline the old master’s kindness, so after putting Tommy on the seat next to her, she bent over to pick up the cup of tea. The tea was hot, so she took a small sip. It tasted clean, and the fragrance of flowers filled her mouth.

At the same time, she tasted something other than flower tea.

After putting down the teacup, Luca looked at Old Master Crawford. “Old Master Crawford, did you add anything else other than flower tea?”

“Your taste buds really can’t be deceived. I did add some medicinal herbs to it. A well-known doctor in A City prescribed it for Louis’ wife. He said that it has beautifying properties. It’s especially good for those who are busy with work and have little time to rest and take care of themselves. Mr. Griffin, bring out the medicine for Luca to see.” Old Master Crawford did not lie about adding medicinal herbs into the drink.

However, he had gotten another doctor to prescribe this medicine. It was not the same medicine that Yuri took.

Besides, Luca was knowledgeable in the medical field. If he wanted to carry out tonight’s plan, it must be done separately.

Susan came downstairs and happened to hear the old master say that. She could not help but go up to the butler and open the bag of medicine. She frowned and said, “Father, how can you give such important medicine to an outsider?”

“Isn’t it just a tonic? How important can it be?” Old Master Crawford even put Yuri’s medicine packet label on it so that Luca would believe him.

“It’s not like you don’t know how precious and costly the herbs inside are. If others know about this, they’ll think that Ms. Luca is your granddaughter-in-law while Yuri is no one!” Susan looked at the situation in front of her discontentedly as Yuri was also part of her family.

The old master was openly treating Luca nicely, but Luca and Luke’s relationship was still unclear.

After going through all that trouble to drive away that crazy woman, Bianca, here came another one who was favored, Luca. Susan looked at the medicinal herbs with a gloomy expression.

She did not know how to distinguish herbs, nor did she know the old master’s plan. Hence, when she saw the label, she simply assumed that it belonged to Yuri.

Old Master Crawford was instantly upset. He thought that Susan’s sarcasm toward Luca was all because of a packet of herbs. She was humiliating the Crawford family.
