Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2201

After Luca and Tina accompanied Marcos to another place, Luca asked, “Mr. Marcos, may I ask you a question?”

“Yes. Go ahead and ask,” replied Marcos.

“You’ve been asking Andy to leave you alone every time you arrive at a certain place. Are you looking for something?” Luca asked.

Marcos was not planning to tell Luca about his family affairs. After all, if the elders in his family found out that his mother might be alive, his mother would probably be in danger.

"I'm looking for my memories. It's a pity that these places have changed so much. They’re so much different from how they used to be," Marcos deliberately spoke in a regretful tone.

Tina nodded while holding a cup of warm coffee in her hands. “Mr. Marcos, the places we’ve been to for the past two days are different from how they used to be. And I heard the older generation say that many places were reconstructed 20 years ago. In fact, they’ve been reconstructed many times so far. The old buildings were demolished, just like the park you’re at now. Many foreign friends would come here to promote their country’s culture and traditions and look for companions who came here to study before the reconstruction. They seldom come here after that. Nothing is like it used to be.”

“How times have changed. I guess that’s what it means.” Marcos could not help but secretly let out a sigh, realizing that there was a slim chance of finding his mother.

Things were different from how he had remembered them. No matter how much Marcos' mother had missed his father, looking at these reconstructed buildings would not remind her of his father.

Andy said in a low voice, “Boss…”

Marcos looked at the snow falling from above. The eagerness of finding his mother grew stronger as he replied, “It’s okay.”

Both of them spoke in Russian, and Luca could understand them. She got even more curious. What was Marcos looking for in these places?

After all, these places had nothing to do with the project. It was the government's jurisdiction to develop these lands, and they would not let companies abroad participate in the development.

Marcos should know about that.

Luca became even more curious about what Marcos was truly looking for. However, Marcos did not tell her, and it would be inappropriate for her to ask him more about it. Luca and Tina had no choice but to accompany Marcos to the places he would like to go.

Andy shook his head. There was helplessness in his blue eyes.

Marcos turned around and said to Luca, “The scenery is breathtaking. I’m honored to have two pretty ladies bringing me here for sightseeing today. Thank you for your company.”

“I’m sorry the places didn’t meet your expectations,” replied Luca.

“It’s not your fault. The city changes. It’s difficult to find the traces of the past. It’s getting late. Let me treat you to dinner.” Marcos invited.

Tina immediately replied, “Mr. Marcos, I’ve made arrangements for your dinner. Thank you, but you don’t have to buy us dinner.”

Marcos turned to look at Tina and said, “Ms. Tina, every meal you’ve arranged for us was perfect. They’re something I’ve never tried before. May I know what you’ve arranged for us this time?”

"It's a restaurant serving local dishes. Although it's not a big restaurant, they serve good food. Mr. Marcos, would you like to try it? I can arrange some other cuisines for you if you don't like it," said Tina. She made the arrangements according to Marcos' request.

Marcos wanted to try the dishes he had never tried in Russia before. Hence, Tina was trying her best to choose the memorable restaurants that locals loved going to.

However, delectable food was not all found in big and famous restaurants. That was why Tina asked for Marcos’ opinion first.

“I must try the ones you’ve arranged for me. But this time, I’d like the two of you to dine with me too. Let me treat you. Please take it as a token of appreciation for being my tour guide for the past two days,” Marcos said in a gentlemanly manner.
