Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2299

“Okay, I will.” Luca nodded. She looked closely at Nina’s expression and asked, “Nina, did something happen?”

Nina asked in surprise, “How did you know?”

“It’s written all over your face.” Luca gestured at her by pointing to her own face.

Nina had been frowning since just now, so she must have encountered something unpleasant. When Luca observed her face, she was able to tell.

Moreover, she had been friends with Nina for so many years. How could she not know?

“Yeah, something happened.” Nina forced a smile.

“How about we make a trip to the cafe next door?” Luca invited her as she reckoned that Nina needed a place to vent her feelings right now.

“No, I shouldn’t disturb your work…” Nina shook her head. Even though she did have the urge to get it off her chest, how could she hold up Luca’s work?

“I took a leave, and my throat is aching, so I want some lemon tea,” said Luca as she held Nina’s hand and walked out.

Nina had no choice but to follow her.

Both of them made it to the cafe, and because they went during office hours, it was quite empty.

Luca and Nina sat in the corner of the cafe, and when the waiter came to get their order, Luca ordered a cup of lemon tea while Nina ordered a cup of fruit tea.

Only after the waiter left did Luca ask, “Tell me what happened.”

“I… It’s Jean.” Nina sighed and told Luca everything from Pierre giving Jean money, to the money getting stolen by Marie, and finally about Jean borrowing money from Percy.

Luca’s eyebrows furrowed slightly while listening to her talk.

Once people turned bad, it would be difficult for them to become good again. Even if Jean were to completely change his ways, he would still be the same.

“So, did Mr. Mallory lend him the money?” asked Luca.

“Percy said he couldn’t bear seeing him starve to death on the streets, so he lent him a hundred dollars. It may not be much, but I just feel awful…” said Nina. It was not because of losing the hundred dollars. She just felt helpless.

Jean was already past 30, yet he still had to beg others for money to the extent that he even had to ask others for a hundred dollars.

Was that what a person in his 30s should be doing?

“Your brother is really a loafer. Nina, have you ever thought about finding him a job?” Luca asked as she thought that perhaps it would be better for him to have a job since he had not been doing anything since he was released from prison.

“He has a criminal record, and the people in A City are not very kind to people with criminal records. What’s the use of him having a degree? For higher-paying jobs, once they find out about his past crimes, there’s no way they’d hire him. His arrogant *ss won’t settle for the lower-paying ones either!”

So what if he studied abroad? He failed every interview anyway.

With a criminal record, having studied abroad was not a bonus point. It gave him negative points instead.

After two tries, Jean completely gave up on the idea of finding a job.

Nina had advised him before that he could get a job with lower requirements. He was capable, and his boss would eventually be able to see that too. Hence, he could get promoted then.

However, Jean refused. When he was presented with an interview opportunity, he would reject it.
