Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 222

That was the first time Bianca was called "Mommy."

For the typical person, that word was as normal as it could get. In fact, those were usually the first words of a newborn baby.

However, to Bianca, those words were an unfamiliar luxury.

It was unfamiliar to her because ever since she knew how to speak, she had no one to call "Mommy." In her twenty-four years of her life, she did not have the opportunity to call anyone that name.

She was pregnant at eighteen years old but was separated from her children at nineteen.

In the period she was studying overseas, she encountered many young mothers. Some of them were single, and some of them were clinging on to their equally young husbands' arms. However, they had their young children next to them, calling them "Mommy" in a different language.

Whenever Bianca saw that as she wandered on the streets, she would think of her children.

She wondered if they have the chance to call someone their "Mommy" like the other children. Perhaps they would share a different fate than her.

No matter the season or occasion, she would be walking forlornly on those foreign roads by herself.

She would wonder where her children were and what they were doing, and if they would miss their Mommy, just as she had missed her mother when she was a child.

When her father fell sick, and she had to bow to the harsh realities of life, she eventually forgot that sentiment.

If that was how life would treat her, she did not have the luxury to fantasize about the love from a mother or any familial relations.

After all, she had failed as a mother.

Bianca was flustered when Rainie called her "Mommy." She pressed her lips together and held the little girl tightly in her arms.

The interior of the car fell silent. No one made a sound.

Through the rearview mirror, Luke looked at her daughter clinging onto Bianca.

Now that Rainie had called Bianca "Mommy," he felt as though he could be a proper father too.

Perhaps he was sharing Bianca's pride as a parent.

Tears welled up in Bianca's eyes. Her eyes turned red.

"What's wrong, Miss Bea? Are you unhappy that I called you Mommy?" Rainie looked at Bianca with her crystal-clear eyes and blinked innocently. The more Bianca looked at Rainie, the more she thought that the little girl looked like her.

"No, I love it a lot." Bianca looked blankly at the little girl in her arms. She felt like Rainie had once been part of her.

Rainie did not know why Miss Bea was crying.

When her plump little hand touched Bianca's face, Bianca's phone started ringing.

"Return to your seat, Rainie." Luke did not smile much. When he said those words, it sounded like a stern command.

Rainie obediently did what she was told.

"Aunt Wanda," Bianca answered the call from her aunt.

"Are you in the small town? I'll be transferring you a sum of money later in the afternoon," Wanda said.

"I'm in A City," Bianca said truthfully. "You're transferring so much money to me, Aunt Wanda, I…"

"What's wrong with your voice? You sound weird," Wanda interjected.

"No, perhaps I caught a cold…"
