Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2268

Noontime.

Jason carried a lunchbox to Luke’s office. The door was left ajar. He knocked on the door and said, “Boss, Aunt Neile came to deliver lunch for you and Dr. Craw.”

“Bring it in,” said Luke. He was waiting for Marcos’ reply.

Ten minutes ago, Marcos told him that he would call Matysh to find out what he was doing.

Therefore, Luke was waiting for the result.

Jason gently placed the lunchbox at the corner of the desk and said, “Boss, I’m going downstairs for lunch if there’s nothing else you’d like me to do.”

“Go ahead.” Luke’s gaze had never left the phone screen.

After Jason left his office, Luke’s phone vibrated.

Luke unlocked his phone screen. It was a message from Marcos: [He’s not planning to go back to Russia yet. He’ll be staying for another half a month at least.]

Luke’s eyes darkened. Matysh had not given up yet!

Luke sneered. Since Matysh was not planning to go back home, then he would make sure Matysh could not go back.

[Thanks. I’ll inform you once there’s any other news.] He could feel Marcos’ resentment, but some things could not be rushed.

It worked the same for vengeance.

Luke grabbed the lunchbox and headed downstairs to the laboratory.

He ran into Zoey when he walked out of the elevator.

“Good afternoon, Boss,” Zoey quickly put her phone aside and greeted him.

“Is Dr. Craw in her office?” Luke asked.

“Yes. Dr. Craw just came out of the lab. She was carrying a pile of documents and heading to her office,” Zoey elaborated.

Luke headed toward Luca’s office with the lunchbox in his hands.

He knocked on the door, and Luca’s voice came from inside, “Who’s there?”

“It’s me.” Luke was holding the door handle, and he did not immediately push the door open.

A few seconds later, Luca opened the door. “Mr. Crawford?”

“Aunt Neile brought us lunch.” Luke walked into her office carrying the lunchbox.

Luca looked outside her office. No one was passing by her office door. She quickly closed the door.

“Did you ask Aunt Neile to deliver it here?” Luca could not help but ask. Aunt Neile had been delivering their lunch to the office for three days consecutively.

Although the distance between the villa and the office was not too far away, it was cold outside and there could be heavy snow anytime. It was inconvenient for Aunt Neile to come back and forth.

Luke opened the lunchbox and denied it. “The old master thinks that it’s unhealthy to have takeouts. That’s why he asked Aunt Neile to bring our lunch here.”

Luca slightly frowned.

It was Old Master Crawford who asked Aunt Neile to deliver lunch?

Luke used to have takeouts back then, and Old Master Crawford did not say anything about it.

“Stop thinking about it. It’s difficult to figure out what’s in the old master’s mind.” Luke knew what Luca was thinking about.

Even though they had been separated for three years, he was still able to guess what Luca was thinking from her gestures and expressions.

Luca came back to her senses and sat down on the sofa.

Luke placed a sandwich on the plate in front of her and said, “Have some. Aunt Neile even made us soup.”

Luca unconsciously replied, “What soup did she prepare?”

“I don’t know.” Luke opened the thermos bottle and showed it to her. “What soup is this?”

"Minestrone soup with beef." Luca recognized it when she looked at the ingredients added to the soup.

There were carrots, leeks, and cannellini beans added to the soup. It was rich in fiber and collagen, which was good for the skin.

“Okay. It’s suitable for you.” Luke picked up the thermos bottle and poured some soup into a bowl.
