Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2207

It had been a long time since Luke had a lie-in. He blamed Luca's scent that remained on the bed even after she had already gotten out of bed.

Luke happened to fall asleep again when he closed his eyes. It was as though he was cuddling with her in bed. He unknowingly woke up late.

“I could see you were tired and needed more rest…” Luca said in a depressed tone. At the same time, she was confused.

This man was cold to her when he was on his business trip, but he was hugging her now, refusing to let her go. Did he really treat her as a toy who was at his beck and call?

Luca refused to think so, but it was the reality that made her forced her to think about it like this.

“It was tiring,” Luke held her in his arms, resting his jaw on her head. The distance between them was intimate. “I’ve been busy with the acquisition for the past few days. I worked day and night to finish everything, then I came back.”

Luca listened to Luke talking about what he did during his business trip. It sounded easy, but she knew that it was not an easy task.

If T Corporation was the only company that wanted to acquire the company, it would indeed be easy. Luke did not have to travel there for the acquisition.

However, a competitor came out of nowhere and Luke had to travel there himself to acquire the company. It must have been a strong competitor.

Hence, Luke must have been busy for quite some time to complete everything.

“I see.” Luca knew him well. Luke would only carry the weight on his shoulders no matter how hard it was. He would never tell her about it. That was why she did not continue to ask him, but she said, “Mr. Crawford, I’d like to continue with my experiment.”

“Huh? Don’t you have anything to ask me?” Luke felt helpless with her silence and indifference.

He had already taken the initiative to close the gap between them, but Luca was still rejecting him. She seemed unconcerned about his matters.

Although Luke knew she was pretending to do so, it made his heart sink.

"No…" Luca's mind was full of questions, but she denied Luke’s question without hesitation.

Luke let go of her as the expression on his face turned gloomy.

Luca met his gaze, then she had this feeling that something was wrong. Judging from the expression on Luke’s face, something must have happened.

“Mr. Crawford, what’s the matter?” she asked.

“Matysh will be traveling from Russia to here today,” replied Luke. He did not intend to conceal it from her. Luca was capable of protecting herself. If Luke blindly concealed this from her, that would only make Luca let down her guard. Telling her about this would protect her.

Luca frowned. She had a bad feeling that something was going to happen, especially after Marcos asked her some questions previously. Disturbing thoughts squirmed at the back of her mind.

It was Matysh, indeed…

Marcos was reminding her.

Luca hesitated as she dared not to confirm that that was what Marcos meant at that time. Now, Luke had proved that her doubts were true.

"Is he coming after me?" Luca asked. She was not dumb. The way Matysh looked at her was like he was staring at his prey. She could see that Matysh was interested in her.

However, she did not expect Matysh to come after her even after she left Russia.

“Yes,” Luke nodded. “You have to protect yourself. Watch your back when you go out. Don’t let Matysh get you. I’ll send some people to protect you too. Just behave as usual.”

Luca nodded, but it was Matysh she was dealing with…

How would Luke choose between M Group and her if things got out of hand?

Luca felt a sudden stab of anxiety in her gut. She was troubled, and she could not believe that she would get into trouble when she was only accompanying Luke on his business trip.

Previously, it was Xavier, and now, Matysh showed up…
