Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2220

Tommy’s eyes were wide as he tilted his head sideways and stared at her for a long while before mumbling, “It’s cold outside, Ms. Luca. You should dress more warmly before you head to work.”

“Alright.” Luca felt warm and fuzzy inside when she saw how her son was concerned about her. The corners of her lips curled into a bright smile as she ruffled his hair.

The fear she had felt before this was slowly fading away now that she had been ruminating over this for about an hour. She was no longer in the state she was when she returned.

Now, the most important thing to do was find out if her stalker was one of Pierre or Matysh’s men.

Luke did not say anything as he observed their interactions. Lanie and Rainie had pulled him aside when he returned and told him how Luca had been acting oddly when she returned.

The children and Nina were still present, which made it unsuitable for him to get a better idea of what was happening. Thus, he was in no rush to do so.

Aunt Neile brought the food over to the table.

The three adults and children finished their meal.

After that was the time for the children to watch TV.

Naturally, the responsibility of checking each child’s homework fell on Luke now that he had returned. Luca chose to go upstairs after watching Luke sit in the living room and check each child’s homework.

“The fruit platter is ready, Luca. Do you want some?” Nina asked as she helped Aunt Neile bring out a plate of fruit.

“It’s alright. You guys can enjoy it,” Luca said as she walked upstairs. She wanted to experiment.

A thoughtful look appeared in Nina’s eyes as she watched Luca walk off. She turned to look at Luke and saw that he was just about to walk upstairs after finishing checking each child’s homework.

In a low voice, she said to him, “Luca wasn’t in the best state when she returned.”

“I know,” Luke said calmly as he glanced upstairs.

Nina frowned. From the tone of his voice, those who were not in the know would have thought that he and Luca were strangers.

However, last night, she had watched as he entered Luca’s room immediately after returning home.

“Is it Pierre Mallory?” Nina asked.

“No.” Luke knew what she was worried about. He usually refused to answer such questions and only did so this time because Nina was Percy’s fiancee.

“Then…” Nina frowned. Who else would frighten Luca so much other than Pierre?

She immediately corrected herself. No, Luca was not frightened… She was just distracted.

Who was it?

Who else had a grudge against Luca?

“Don’t get involved in this,” Luke said. To him, Nina was a powerless woman who still needed Percy’s protection because she could not even face the Mallory family herself.

If she got into Luca’s mess now, she would not even be able to protect herself.

Nina had had similar experiences in the past, which meant that she should not get involved no matter what.

“What do you mean by that?!” Nina protested, her jaw clenching when she noticed how Luke seemed to think she was in the way.

“You’ll be helping Luca by not getting involved,” Luke said as he continued walking upstairs. It was something that even a child could understand, but Nina could not.

If Nina got involved, there was no doubt Matysh would use the fact that Nina was Luca’s Achilles heel to force her into submission.

Such incidents had happened in the past, and Luke did not want to go to the trouble of having to save Nina.

The way he spoke helped Nina immediately understand what was going on. Hurrying forth, she caught up to him and said, “I’m just worried about Luca. Friends should be concerned about one another. I don’t blame you for failing to understand me, but you shouldn’t stop me.”

Luke paused and frowned as he looked at her.

Had Percy protected her so well that she had begun thinking she could protect others?
