Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2160

The oven was done preheating right after Luca finished shaping the cookies.

After she placed the cookies in the oven, she looked back at Wanda and saw that the eggs in the bowl were beaten as well.

“Do I add flour next?” asked Wanda. She knew how to bake cakes. Usually, the next step would be to add flour, but she still subconsciously asked Luca.

“Aunt Rayne, let me take it from here.” Luca blinked.

“Could it be that you have a secret recipe?” Wanda was curious and passed the baton to her.

“Not really, but I’m not making a chiffon cake, so the steps are a little different,” said Luca as she added the melted butter into the egg mixture. Then, she added an appropriate amount of sugar substitute and milk. Finally, she added the flour.

Wanda watched her stir the mixture and took out cupcake molds from the cupboard to hold the batter.

After Luca mixed the cake batter evenly, she poured it into the molds.

Then, she readjusted the temperature of the oven and placed the cupcakes into the oven as well.

Wanda was dumbfounded. “Is this going to work?”

She had never seen different types of pastries being baked together. To be able to do this, one would need to be a professional patissier.

“It’ll work. Your kitchen oven is big enough, and the temperature is just right. The cookies and cupcakes will be out of the oven in 20 minutes, so you don’t have to wait too long,” said Luca.

“I knew you were well-versed in the medical field, but I didn’t expect you to know your way around the kitchen as well,” Wanda could not help but praise her. Was she really an all-rounder?

“It’s just a hobby. I’m not that great at it. I just like dabbling in these kinds of stuff when I’m not busy.” Luca washed her hands clean and pulled out a paper towel to wipe away the water on the surface.

Wanda looked at her long and slender hands. She did not seem like the type of person who would do these things at all.

One could not judge a book by its cover, after all.

Wanda poured her a cup of tea. “Good work. Have some tea.”

Luca took the teacup and smiled faintly. “Thank you.”

She took a sip of tea and had no intention of leaving the kitchen as every oven had its temperament. To avoid burning the cookies and cupcakes, she stayed there to watch over them.

Besides, it was the last step. No mistakes could be made.

Wanda understood, so she did not have Luca leave the kitchen. She poured a cup of tea and leaned against the kitchen counter to chat with her. “I heard from Old Master Crawford that you once helped nurse him back to health?”

Luca did not expect Old Master Crawford to tell her about this. She felt apprehensive for a moment as she hoped that the old master had only said so much and kept the rest to himself.

“Yes, Mr. Crawford was worried about Old Master Crawford’s health, so he asked me to go over and check his pulse,” said Luca.

“How brilliant. You know so much at such a young age. Be honest, you must really like medicine, right?” There was some admiration in Wanda’s tone.

“It’s alright. I just hate leaving my fate in the hands of others, especially people I don’t know very well. That’s why I studied medicine,” said Luca.

She did indeed hate that, but that was in fact her current situation.

Everything was in the hands of Abel, and she could not escape.

Wanda furrowed her eyebrows as she sipped her tea. “That’s an unusual reason to pursue medicine.”
