Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 220

Luke looked at Bianca and tried to discern her feelings.

When Luke was a child, he did not have his father and mother by his side. However, he knew that his mother was the one who sent him to an orphanage.

In those few years living in the orphanage, his mother had visited him a few times. Back then, he had several questions.

'Who is my father?

'Why does my father never come to see me?

'Does my father want me?'

Luke knew how it felt to be abandoned, and that was why he wanted to shower all his love and care on Bianca.

However, he knew that he could never match the love and care given by one's parents.

Bianca had never met her mother.

Like Rainie sitting next to her and Lanie sitting opposite her, they had always eagerly hoped that their mother would appear in their lives and love them.

Unfortunately, Bianca's mother never appeared, even until the day she became a mother herself…

Lanie was sitting next to his father and eating his meal like a gentleman. At that moment, he lifted his head to look solemnly at Miss Bea sitting opposite him.

That was when he found out that Miss Bea did not have a mother either, just like him and Rainie.

Shakira pressed her lips and said nothing. She was processing Bianca's answer.

Her heart had been in her throat after asking that question. She hoped that her questions had not been a waste of everyone's time. Unfortunately, she realized that she had been too sensitive and that she had perhaps gone overboard in an attempt to help her best friend find her child!

However, Bianca said that she had never met her mother…

When Shakira heard that, she could not tell if she was excited or relieved.

"Why haven't you met your mother?"

Shakira followed up with another question and stared unblinkingly at Bianca.

Bianca was feeding Rainie another spoonful of food. Her hand froze when she heard that question, and she wondered why Aunt Neile was asking her about personal matters.

"I've never known you to be a gossip, Aunt Neile," Luke interjected appropriately and stopped Shakira's interrogation.

No one would appreciate a stranger dredging their painful pasts, including Bianca, who was grateful for Luke's interjection.

However, Shakira did not seem as though she was giving up. She looked at Luke with a concerned expression and said, "You should know that I'm not on speaking terms with your mother anymore. Now that I've met an enemy of my enemy, you can see why I'm so fond of her."

The "enemy" was, of course, Allison Tanner.

The "enemy of an enemy" naturally referred to Bianca, whom Allison disliked.

Bianca fed Rainie some lightly sautéed but incredibly flavorful broccoli and said, "Here, take another bite."

Rainie lifted her head and looked at Bianca while she chewed on the broccoli. Her eyes were brimming with concern toward her Miss Bea.

She wanted to comfort Bianca, but too many people were around…

On the other hand, Bianca thought that Shakira knew Allison very well. Not only did Allison dislike her, but one could also say that she hated her.

"Enemy" was an appropriate description.

"Don't be a stranger, Bianca. You should come here more often. I'll cook for you whatever you want to eat. Also, if Allison Tanner bullies you, you can let me know, and I'll stand up for you."
