Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2413

Luca watched the two of them play chess for a while. She glanced at the time, and when it was almost time to prepare lunch, she stood up and said, “Old Master Crawford, Mr. Crawford, please excuse me. I’m going to prepare lunch now.”

“Do you need help?” Luke asked. Aunt Neile usually helped Luca out when she was busy preparing meals in the kitchen. Now, she had to prepare lunch for six of them. Luke was worried that she would not be able to handle it herself.

Luca shook her head, pursed her lips, and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay. I can handle this. You can play chess with Old Master Crawford."

After that, Luca walked to the kitchen.

Before she walked into the kitchen, she heard Old Master Crawford making fun of Luke, “Hah, I didn’t know you’d step into the kitchen.”

Luca smiled without turning around. She headed straight to the kitchen.

Luke did not look like someone who would enter the kitchen, but there were times when he would help her in the kitchen. Her heart pounded faster when she recalled him standing beside her and helping out in the kitchen.

No one had ever said that the kitchen was only meant for women. Luca was happy that Luke could understand that and was willing to help her.

In the living room.

Luke arranged the pawns on the chess and slowly replied, “I sometimes help her out in the kitchen.”

“That’s great. I didn’t expect you to be the sort who helped out. That’s something I just found out today,” exclaimed Old Master Crawford. Luke had always thought that men should stay away from the kitchen.

Besides, it was indeed unsuitable if Luke smelled like food and oil.

“I’ll let you have the opening move this time,” said Luke.

Old Master Crawford could not be bothered about it and said, “How is this considered making concessions? Making a concession means letting me undo my move in front of Luca.”

“I won’t be able to impress Luca if I had let you do that,” said Luke calmly. He immediately made his move after he watched Old Master Crawford make his first move.

“So, you care about Luca, but it seems like she doesn’t think of this as her home yet,” Old Master Crawford deliberately drawled and looked in the direction of the kitchen.

Luke did not show an unhappy expression on his face and continued to play chess.

Old Master Crawford got restless when Luke did not say anything about it. He immediately asked, “What are you thinking? Why are you taking your time?”

“She’ll make herself at home sooner or later.” Although Luke’s voice was cold, he sounded affirmative.

“How can you be so sure about that? Hurry up. This woman is about to be taken by some other men,” said Old Master Crawford with sincerity. It was not to trigger Luke, but it was to remind him.

Luke said in a firm voice, “What’s mine will be mine. No one can take her away.”

Old Master Crawford could not help but mock him when he saw how confident Luke was, "Oh, look at how confident you are. Take things slowly as you wish and you’ll regret it in the future."

Luke looked up and saw the mocking expression on Old Master Crawford’s face. He reminded him in a calm voice, “Grandpa, you’re going to lose if you don’t take this game seriously.”

Old Master Crawford lowered his head and looked at the chessboard. Only then did he realize that Luke had taken a few of his pawns.

He could not help but complain, “You little brat. You always make me look bad!”

“You taught me well,” replied Luke. Then, he shot a glance in the direction of the kitchen.

The woman he loved was preparing lunch for him.

Luke kept Old Master Crawford company for the rest of the day since Mr. Griffin was not here to accompany him.

Old Master Crawford enjoyed living a life like this.

It was not as noisy as it was in Crawford Manor. The atmosphere was relaxing and he was happy with it.
