Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 243

Leia stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon. She lifted her head and asked conservatively, "Brother Xavier, what I'm most concerned about are his two children. Where did he get them?"

Xavier was surprised.

Brother Xavier?

That title was too saccharine-sweet.

As far as he remembered, the last time Leia called him "Brother Xavier" was when she had recently stepped out of the orphanage and into elite society. She gave everyone appellations such as "Brother" or "Sister."

As her social status climbed, she found herself to be equals with Xavier and stopped calling him "Brother."

Of course, she could be equals with Xavier because she was Jack Norman and Queenie Zeigler's daughter. In fact, as a Norman, she was of a higher status.

Xavier had never considered Leia to be part of his plan in trying to separate Bianca from Luke.

However, Xavier quickly thought of something. "To be frank, I don't know where the two children came from, even though my family occasionally talks about it. I can guess that Luke doesn't have a close relationship with the children's mother."

That was what Leia wanted to hear!

She hoped that Luke did not have any relationship with the children's mother at all!

As far as she knew, Luke had never allowed any woman to get close to him.

If the mother had borne Luke's children, it meant that they had slept in bed…

Leia needed to know who her opponent was before she initiated her plan. That way, she was sure to win.

"Can you tell me how you made that guess?" Leia wanted more concrete evidence. That way, she could be at ease.

Xavier did not want Leia to fail, and therefore he did not make up any excuses. "I really don't know what happened between Luke and the children's mother. After all, no one knows the true identity of the mother, other than Luke," he said truthfully.

Leia nodded seriously.

"You should know that Old Master Crawford wants an heir, even if Luke has no desire to sleep with women. If someone is willing to give birth to Old Master Crawford's great-grandchildren, it shouldn't take much for the family to accept them." What Xavier said was technically the truth.

The only thing he omitted was that the children's mother was Bianca.

Leia seemed dejected when she heard that. "I wonder how did Luke manage to convince the mother of the children to leave them behind."

"Money ought to do the trick." Xavier could see Leia's worries.

That was indeed the truth. Back then, Luke and Bianca's relationship was indeed monetary.

Leia smiled a little when she heard that.

From Xavier's words, she could tell that Luke was distant, aloof, and was not concerned with relationships. He would rather take care of his business than women.

He was a worthy challenge!

She would prevail!

She wanted Luke's world to revolve around her!

Leia stole a glance at Xavier, then recalled the time in the small town when Luke shared a drink with Bianca, Xavier's wife…
