Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2204

As Luke listened to Luca’s soft breathing, there was tenderness in his eyes while he looked at her.

Luke had gotten used to the darkness in the room, and he was able to see the woman who was sleeping soundly on the bed while covered in the blanket.

‘You little devil,’ Luke could not help but secretly blame Luca for a moment.

Luca did not pick up his calls, nor did she return his calls. She only explained it to him once by sending him a message. She was behaving so indifferently, and she was not concerned about his situation either.

If it were not for the Mallory family who came to the villa, Luke would not have had the chance to listen to Luca's voice while he was out on the business trip.

Heartless little woman…

Luke was like a scorned woman, complaining to Luca about how she was being cold to him. However, there was nothing he could do. Luca was the only one who could make him experience such helpless feelings.

It felt awful.

Luke tiptoed to the bedside and quietly climbed onto the bed.

The moment Luca felt a weight on her bed. She noticed that something was wrong. However, it took her some time to regain her consciousness as she had taken the sleeping pills earlier. She opened her eyes wide when someone put his arms around her, and she exclaimed, “Who are you?!”

There was nothing Luke could do about Luca’s vigilant behavior. He held her in his arms and said, “Don’t be afraid. It’s me.”

The familiar voice calmed Luca’s nerves right away, and she slowly lay down on the bed with her back facing Luke. Then, she said, “Mr. Crawford, how did you…”

Luke felt a little guilty when he heard Luca’s sleepy voice. He could not bear to blame her anymore and replied, “I’m back. Let’s sleep. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

Although Luca was deeply asleep, she came back to her senses the moment she woke up with a start. She was about to say something and struggle out of Luke’s embrace, but her heart melted when she heard the weariness in Luke’s voice. She dispelled the thought of struggling.

Luca was confused and lady down on the bed. She listened to his breathing that came from behind.

Why did Luke come back in the middle of the night? Furthermore, Tina had told her that Luke was facing some problems with the acquisition as there was another buyer interested in acquiring the company. Luke was fighting over the Hilton’s company with his competitor.

It sounded difficult, and Luke was supposed to come back later.

However, Luke was back here so soon. Luca had so many questions to ask Luke, but she endured it as she noticed that Luke was tired. Therefore, she did not ask him about it.

She could wait until tomorrow…

“Stop thinking about it. Get some sleep. I’ll explain to you tomorrow,” said Luke as he rested hands on her waist.

“Okay,” Luca mumbled. She was wearing silk pajamas, and the temperature coming from Luke’s hands was burning hot…

Luca listened to him and closed her eyes. Once she shut her eyes, her senses heightened. She could smell Luke’s scent in the air.

The scent lingered between her nostrils. It was as though the air around her was filled with Luke's scent. It was heart-warming, and she felt secure…

It felt real too.

Luca slowly fell into a deep slumber.

The following day.

Luca opened her eyes when she woke up. Luke’s chest came into sight first.

She was startled for a moment.

Before Luca fell asleep last night, she had gently touched Luke and noticed that he had clothes on him when he was on her bed. Why was he half-naked now?

If someone saw them on the bed, no one would believe what Luca said even if she explained that they had just cuddled in bed all night.

Luca let out a sigh of relief. She got out of bed immediately before Luke changed his mind. She walked into the bathroom, freshened up herself, and got changed.

After that, she picked up her phone, briefcase, and her coat. Then, she left the bedroom.

No one was at the bedroom door. Luca let out a sigh of relief. She was truly worried that she would run into Nina.

Luca shot a glance behind her after she closed the bedroom door. She was worried that Luke might run into Nina when he woke up. It would be difficult to explain to her then.

However, the man was still in bed, reluctant to get up. Luke seemed to be tired, and Luca could not bear to ask him to get out of the comfortable, warm bed. She decided to let him rest a little longer.

There was nothing she could do if the two of them ran into each other. What was meant to happen would happen.

Luca headed downstairs and placed her coat and briefcase on the sofa. Aunt Neile was already preparing breakfast when she walked into the kitchen.

“Aunt Neile, what kind of breakfast are you preparing today?” Luca asked.

“I’m preparing Western food today,” replied Aunt Neile with a smile on her face, “Ms. Craw, are you craving anything?”

“No, but you’ll have to prepare another portion today,” replied Luca.

Aunt Neile was confused and she asked, “Why? Do we have a guest coming?”

“Mr. Crawford is back from his business trip. He came back in the middle of the night,” explained Luca. She washed her hands, glanced at the ingredients, and knew what Aunt Neile was preparing for breakfast. Then, she helped Aunt Neile out in the kitchen.

Aunt Neile exclaimed in surprise, "Traveling back in the middle of the night? Did Mr. Crawford take the night flight back here? Why was he in such a hurry? He must be exhausted. Let me prepare some tonic for him later."

Luca smiled as she listened to Aunt Neile chattering away, then she suggested, “Prepare some American ginseng soup for Mr. Crawford. It’ll be good for him.”
