Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2158

After a while, Luke’s people rushed over.

Then, Luca briefly explained everything to them and let them go back.

Luca heaved a sigh of relief as the matter had finally been resolved. Wanda saw the smile on her face after the problem was dealt with and could not help but lift her hand to dust off the fallen snow on Luca’s shoulders.

“You must’ve rushed over here, right? You don’t even have your gloves on. It must be freezing. Let’s go inside,” she said.

“Okay, Aunt Rayne.” Luca rubbed her palms together and followed Wanda into the neighborhood.

Wanda walked beside Luca, and when she looked sideways at her, she was momentarily distracted by the fact that Luca was the same height as Bianca.

Bianca used to walk beside her like this, but walking with Luca beside her gave her the same feeling.

She was bewildered.

Wanda shook her head slightly. Luca noticed and asked, “What is it, Aunt Rayne?”

“Nothing. It’s a cold winter day, so let’s hurry inside the house. Old Master Crawford is here too. You should know him, right? He’s Luke’s grandfather,” said Wanda as she pressed her fingerprint to open the door.

Old Master Crawford was here?

Luca stopped in her tracks and paused for a moment as she remembered what happened yesterday.

If Old Master Crawford could carry out such a plan, he must be trying to matchmake her and Luke.

He was here as a guest today…

Luca knew that he was close to Grandpa Rayne, and she could only pray that the old master would not say too much when he saw her later, lest he aroused the suspicion of Grandpa and Aunt Wanda.

“What’s the matter?” Wanda closed the door and noticed that something was wrong with Luca’s expression.

Luca forced a smile and said, “I didn’t expect Old Master Crawford to be here as well.”

“Old Master Crawford came this morning and seemed to be in a good mood. He’s been playing chess with my father and even stayed for lunch. Both of them are probably well-rested now and are ready to continue playing chess,” said Wanda.

Ever since Old Man Rayne’s health improved after Luca’s treatment, Old Master Crawford often came over to play chess with him.

With a chessboard, a few cups of tea, and some simple refreshments, Old Master Crawford could spend the entire day here.

As he would say, this place was better than Crawford Manor. At least it was quiet.

After seeing how much he liked staying here, Wanda had the maids prepare a room for him as a nap room as the elderly had the habit of taking naps in the afternoon.

Wanda was also glad that there was someone to play chess with Old Man Rayne as it could relieve his boredom.

Luca nodded in agreement with her words.

Wanda thought that she was nervous to see Old Master Crawford because he was her boss’ grandfather, so she reassured her by saying, “Don’t worry. Old Master Crawford is quite nice to get along with in private. He’s easy-going and not fussy.”

“Good.” That was all Luca could say. She was not worried that Old Master Crawford would be hard to get along with at all. She was worried that he would slip up and expose her.

Besides, Aunt Wanda and her grandpa would definitely side with her old identity.

The two of them walked into the house.

Wanda instructed the maid, “Luca, take off your jacket and let the maid help you dry your clothes.”

“Ah, alright.” Luca took off her jacket.

Wanda took out the tea leaves and picked up the mountain spring water used especially for making tea and said helplessly, “I need to think about what snacks to prepare. Usually, I would’ve had everything prepared, but because Jean and Marie came over and caused so much trouble, I didn’t have the time.”

“I’ll make some sugar-free cookies. Is that okay?” asked Luca.

“You even know how to make cookies?” Wanda was a little surprised.

“Yup, I like eating them too,” said Luca.

“Sure. My father loves cookies, but he still likes his granddaughter’s cookies the most. However, after everything that happened, he hasn’t eaten them in a long time. The cookies I make are not as good as my niece’s, so I’ll hand the task to you, okay?” said Wanda while making tea.

“No problem. Where are the ingredients?” asked Luca.

“They’re in the cupboard and fridge.”

“Alright. I’ll get started, then.” Luca did not dilly-dally and started working on it right after she found the ingredients.

Wanda was a little shocked to see her movements. How did she find all the ingredients so quickly?

She knew where all the ingredients were as if she lived here.

Luca gathered all the ingredients and skillfully made the cookies.

After Wanda finished making the tea, she said, “Luca, I’ll send the tea up first. I’ll come down and help you later.”

“Alright,” said Luca. After taking a look at the kitchen oven, she saw that it was big enough to make some cupcakes after she was done making cookies.

She remembered that Grandpa Rayne was different from others. He loved these snacks the most and said that they were delicate and delicious.

Luca understood that the older generation had been through a lot, so these snacks were new foods to him at the time, which was why he liked them.
