Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2194

"Okay, it's getting late. I’ll hang up now. Luca, drop by to have a meal with me when you’re free." Old Master Crawford waved at the camera.

"Old Master Crawford, rest well." Luca smiled, hung up the phone, and waited for Aunt Neile to return.

Aunt Neile immediately returned to the house after she sent the Mallory family out the door. She noticed that Luca was sitting calmly on the sofa. She patted her chest and said, "Ms. Craw, I was almost scared to death! I’m glad that they didn't do anything."

"It would’ve been fine even if they tried something. Aunt Neile, if you encounter this situation again, make sure you protect yourself." Luca was touched by how Aunt Neile put herself in front of her when she realized that there was danger.

"That won't work, Ms. Craw. I'm stronger than you and can take hits for you." Aunt Neile smiled. After the false alarm, she relaxed a little and cleaned up the cups on the coffee table.

Luca stood up and said, "Aunt Neile, you can get off work when you're done cleaning. It's too late, so there are probably no buses. I'll get you a ride and ask the driver to wait for you at the gate of the community."

With that, she picked up her phone and got a cab for Aunt Neile.

"Thank you, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile smiled gratefully and reminded her, "By the way, please inform Mr. Crawford. He’s probably worried sick."

"I will," Luca said. She clicked in her chat with Luke, thought about it for a second, and sent him a voice note.

"The matter has been resolved thanks to you and Old Master Crawford. Thank you." She was courteous.

Luke’s expression turned sour when he heard the voice message.

‘This woman… Can she not be so polite? Why is she treating me like an outsider after her face has changed?! I’m still her husband!’

After Aunt Neile left, Luca went upstairs. She did not know whose bedroom the children took Nina to, so she said, "Nina, the matter is resolved. Come out."

Nina walked out of Rainie's bedroom with the three children after they heard her.

"Resolved?" Nina did not expect that the situation would be diffused so quickly...

"Mm, they're all gone," Luca nodded.

Tommy gave her a thumbs-up as he said, "Ms. Luca, you're amazing. You got the bad guys out of our home!"

Lanie reluctantly patted the back of his brother's hand and reminded him, "He's Old Master Mallory. He’s not a bad guy."

Tommy shook his head and responded, "They look fierce. It was like they were gonna beat someone up anytime. Great-grandpa said that we should run far away to avoid getting hurt when we come across gangsters like that. Our favorite TV shows tell us that those who lay their hands on others are bad guys that would be taken away by the police.”

Lanie was speechless. When Old Master Mallory stepped in, they happened to see him before they went upstairs.

Old Master Mallory looked fierce, so they were worried that Luca would suffer against them.

"Okay. Old Master Mallory is like this because he encountered some unhappy things. Let’s leave it at that. Your favorite cartoon is playing. Do you want to go downstairs to finish it?" Luca asked.

"Yes!" The mention of ‘cartoon’ successfully distracted Tommy, who took Lanie and Rainie by the hand and went downstairs.

Nina waited for the children to leave before she stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"They didn't get to lay their hands on me. Even so, I did hope that Pierre would do it. That would give me a reason to beat him up and send him to the hospital so that he can’t come out and harm others." Luca could not hide her disgust toward Pierre.
