Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2224

After Luca finished calculating the data and equation, she realized that Luke did not affect her when he was by her side.

Instead, his presence made her even more focused on what she was doing.

The silhouette that kept on appearing in her mind and affecting her progress never showed up again with Luke by her side.

Luca closed her notebook.

Luke noticed that and asked, “Done?”

“Yeah. I’ve concluded the experimental data for this stage.” Luca placed the notebook on the bedside table. After that, she began to feel overwhelmed again.

Luke closed his book, placed it on the bedside table, and said, “Get some rest.”

“Mr. Crawford…” Luca was afraid that Luke was dropping her a hint. She quickly said, “It’s the time of the month…”

“Just sleep.” Luke’s eyes darkened. He was not planning on verifying whether she was telling the truth or not.

He only wanted to cuddle with her in bed.

He could do nothing, but he had to cuddle with her. That way, he could have a good night’s sleep.

Luca slightly frowned. Luke’s reaction was too calm, and it was unlike anything she had expected.

She attempted to find some emotions in his eyes, even if it was disappointment. However, there was none.

Was Luke not interested in her body?

There should be a look of disappointment in his eyes when something like this happened, right?

However, Luke was as cold as he had always been. She could hardly see any other emotions in his eyes.

Luca was confused, and she lay down on the bed.

Luke turned off the lights and lay on the bed after covering the blanket on Luca.

Luca slept in a fetal position on her side as her stomach was feeling uncomfortable. Luke’s hand reached out for her when she had just found a comfortable sleeping position.

His hands fell right on her lower abdomen. He did not move his hands to feel her body.

A wave of warmth rose from her lower abdomen and flowed into her heart.

Previously, when she had her period, Luke used to help her to warm her stomach like this too.

Although he seemed cold and heartless, his hands were warm. It felt warmer and more comfortable to have him warm her up than place a heating pack on her shirt no matter what season it was.

Luke’s behavior and gestures had never changed after so many years.

It warmed Luca’s heart, but her heart was aching at the same time.

She thought Luke would only do something so sweet to Bianca.

“Are you feeling more comfortable now?” Luke asked. He knew it was the period pain that made Luca feel uncomfortable when he saw her lying that way.

His kids had even told him that Luca went outside without putting warm clothes on.

Her period pain would hurt even more.

Not only was Luke warming her lower abdomen with his hands, but he was also gently massaging it.

“Yes.” Luca closed her eyes, feeling the tenderness of his hand.

She could feel his breath on the back of her head when he spoke, and it was hot.

“Get some rest. I’ll ask Aunt Neile to prepare some brown sugar tea for you tomorrow,” said Luke.

His subordinate took the lighter and helped him to light his cigarette.

Bill took a puff of a cigarette and slowly explained, "Mr. Matysh, don't blame me for being late. You're not in a hurry. I was handling some other matters just now. You know, gangs like us always get into a lot of trouble."

Matysh smoked his cigar with a scowl on his face.

“I paid you, and I’m your God. Give me back my money if you can’t handle this well.” Matysh pointed at him with his cigar.

Was he asking for a refund?

Bill shook his head. It was impossible to refund his money. He said, "I believe my driver has already told you that this is a long game, and we need to come up with a plan before we make our moves. Our organization is nothing like those gangs who only know how to cause trouble out there. We do business, and we're handling your request at the moment. Of course, we'll do it for you, but we've mentioned to you that it won't be easy as the person involved is someone with high social status. That's why we need to come up with a good plan. I told you this myself. Didn't you agree with me on the other end of the line that day?"

Matysh’s face darkened. The gang he looked for was certainly not an ordinary gang.

He still needed a translator to communicate with those troublemakers. However, the man in front of him was a mobster of an organized crime. He could speak English, and they were able to communicate with each other.

However, the price to hire such a crime organization was usually higher than usual crime organizations.

Therefore, Matysh was unhappy with their attitude and efficiency.

“I was still in Russia when I agreed with you. I’m in A City now, and you’re telling me you need to come up with a plan? Did you come here to make me a fool?” Matysh took a deep puff of the cigar and blew a smoke ring in the air.

Not only was their efficiency slow, but they also came to disturb him.

Matysh thought he would be having a pleasant evening when he found a woman who looked like Luca on the internet and paid her to come over to sleep with him. He had no choice but to ask the woman to wait in the corridor when Bill brought his subordinates along with him here.

Matysh recalled what his subordinate told him and what he did today when he saw Bill. Grievance rose in him like a tide, and it made him lose the desire to spend the night with that woman.

"I've told you that your request was challenging. You agreed that you'd wait, and you didn't give us a deadline. We need to make sure that our plan is perfect. No mistakes are allowed. That's why we need a lot of time to follow the target and look into it. Mr. Matysh, if you can't understand our job, we can refund some of the money to you. But we're taking the deposit. It's non-refundable. What do you think?" said Bill while taking out his checkbook.
