Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2416

Luca gently shook her head and said, “Mr. Crawford, it’s inappropriate for me to go along with you. They’re your wife’s family.”

Luke stared at her with his deep eyes.

Wife?

Was she not his wife?

She clearly wanted to see her family at this time, but she was unable to visit them due to her identity and the forces behind her…

Luke did not expose her and said, “If you’d like to visit them but you’re worried that they’ll overthink, you can go after us. Lliam is on duty today.”

Luca looked down and pondered for a moment. She still thought it was inappropriate to do so and said, “Mr. Crawford, I heard Nina say that locals here always visit the wife’s family on the second day of New Year. I shouldn’t do this.”

She was actually the most suitable person to visit them, but she had no choice but to tell Luke that it was inappropriate for her to do so in a soft voice.

Luke knew what she was thinking about. He did not force her. He carried the two bags and headed outside. Then, he asked, “Are there fruits in the fridge?”

“Yes. I’ve prepared two fruit baskets.” Luca followed him out of the storage room too. She had everything well-prepared.

Although the Rayne family did not know about her true identity, Jack knew about it. He probably wanted to celebrate the New Year with Luca.

However, Luca had rejected his invitation and he was helpless.

“Okay. Then I’ll take the kids along with me first. We won’t be back for lunch and dinner,” replied Luke. He noticed a hint of sadness flashing across Luca’s eyes.

Even though her parents, grandfather, and aunt were here, she had no choice but to stay in the villa and wait for them to come home during festive seasons like the New Year.

Luke felt sorry for her. He felt helpless.

If Luke could find out where the base of the Island of Despair was, he could confidently question Luca about who was manipulating her.

That was the only way to solve Luca’s problem at its root.

Even though there was no way her appearance could change back to how it was before, she was still the woman he loved.

Luke hoped that she could be truly happy soon.

“Okay. I got it.” Luca nodded. She felt terrible for not being able to bring gifts back to her home on this special day.

After Luca watched Luke and the kids leave, an air of gloom fell over her as she returned to the house.

She had nothing to do. Hence, she made her way up the stairs, headed to the study, and began to work on her experiments.

If she was fortunate enough to succeed, there would be a slim chance of surviving. Otherwise, she could only spend the rest of her life on the Island of Despair….

In the car.

Luke was driving, and the three kids were sitting in the backseat of the car.

Tommy pouted and asked, “Daddy, why isn’t Ms. Luca coming along with us? Does she not like Grandpa and Grandma or Great-grandpa Norman anymore?”

“She loves them,” replied Luke. Luca respected and cared for them more than anyone else.

She knew it was inconvenient for her to disturb them during the New Year. That was why she just sent some gifts to the Norman family.

Although she did not send the gifts to the Rayne family, the gifts Luke was sending over were much heavier than the gifts for the Norman family.

Luca still loved them, and she did not show favoritism toward any of them.

It was just that she could not find a good reason or excuse to send the gifts to them herself.

“Then why‚”

“Ms. Luca is in no position to do that now,” Lanie interrupted Tommy.

Tommy did not understand, but everyone else understood why. Lanie knew what these New Year traditions meant.

Tommy nodded stiffly and asked, “Daddy, when will Ms. Luca acknowledge us and when will we be able to call her Mommy? She’s alone at home during New Year. She must be lonely.”

Luke felt upset listening to what Tommy said.
