Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2142

Luca knew rumors would fly if she agreed to spend the night here tonight.

Luke was going on a business trip tomorrow. Luca thought of letting him spend the night peacefully to boost his mood and handle his work.

Luke had never shown his emotions on his face even after spending so much time together, and he seemed like a heartless person who never took the affairs of Crawford Manor seriously.

However, Luca knew that Luke was more concerned about the affairs in Crawford Manor than anyone else.

"Oh no, the tonic you just drank contains high alcohol content. You’ve considered to have drunk. Besides, it's snowing out there. There's no way Luke and you can drive back home. As for Zander, he's old, so it's better not to trouble him at this hour. So, both of you should spend the night here and get some rest." Old Master Crawford patted the table and decided for them.

Luca listened to what the old master said. It seemed like she was left with no choice but to stay here.

She could hire a designated driver or hail a taxi to go home if she insisted on doing so.

However, it would make the old master upset.

Although the old master did not mention it, Luca could sense that he was deliberately asking her to spend the night here.

Luke and the kids were certainly not going back if Luca was going to stay here. Luca was confused. Could it be that the old master missed his grandchildren so much that he especially made her stay?

“Alright, Old Master Crawford.” Luca agreed to it.

Old Master Crawford shot Luke a glance when Luca agreed to spend the night at Crawford Manor.

Luke knew what the old master was up to when he met his gaze.

Luke glanced at Luca. She was wiping Tommy’s mouth with the napkin as though she knew nothing about the old master’s plan.

Luke felt helpless, and he knew what the old master was up to.

He wished that he could have gotten to know Luca earlier or used another identity to gain her trust and keep her by his side.

However, something was holding Luca back. How could it be that easy?

Susan was staring at them. The old master had asked the kitchen to prepare some tea and tonic especially for Luca. That was not how he treated his guests. He was already treating Luca like his granddaughter-in-law…

Susan shot a glance at Yuri and sulked at once when she saw that Yuri was busy feeding Thea some fruits.

Louis noticed that Susan was about to say something, and he knew she was in a bad mood, so whatever she was going to say would piss the old master off. Hence, he rose to his feet and said, “Mom, Yuri got the set of jewelry that you asked us to get—the one you’re planning to wear on your birthday. Would you like to try it on?”

Susan’s birthday was half a month later.

Although it was not her birthday yet, Susan took it very seriously. Besides, the old master had given her permission to host a birthday party. That was why she was planning everything herself.

She saw a limited edition jewelry set in the magazine, and she wanted Louis to get it no matter what it took or how much it cost.

Susan pondered for a moment when she heard that Louis had gotten her the jewelry set. Luca was only spending a night here. It was unlikely that she could cause any trouble in Crawford Manor no matter how capable she was.

Hence, Susan stood up and followed Louis to take a look at the jewelry set.

Old Master Crawford shook his head and turned to look at Yuri. He said, “Yuri, did you really buy that jewelry set?”

Mr. Griffin found that the jewelry set Susan fancied was a limited edition. One could not buy it even if one had enough money. There were only three sets in the whole world. Moreover, the jewelry set had been on the display rack for quite some time. They were probably already purchased by someone else.

Many people in this world were more powerful and influential than the Crawford family.
