Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2438

"Dad, where will we be staying?" Tommy asked curiously. He was sitting in the backseat, listening to the conversation between the two adults.

It was his first visit to X City.

"Old Master Crawford built a small villa on the grounds of his ancestral home in X City. It’s looked after all year round. We’ll be staying there," Luke said. He had no plans to stay in a hotel.

X City was a unique city. He was the chief designer of the Crawford Ancestral Home that was built before by Old Master Crawford. The architecture of the Crawford Ancestral Home integrated the landscape of X City. It was distinctive.

If it wasn’t because Old Master Crawford did not allow it to be open to the public, that building would have become a must-see location for tourists.

According to the butler who managed the Crawford Ancestral Home, there were still groups of tourists who would check out the outer wall every day although it was not open to the public.

Crawford Ancestral Home was popular. A businessman once contacted Old Master Crawford to purchase the Crawford Ancestral Home, but he did not agree. He said it was reserved for the Crawfords’ younger generation.

Lanie and Rainie had not been there either, so Luke planned to stay at Crawford Ancestral Home to let them experience the beautiful landscape of X City.

"Fantastic!" Rainie raised her hands and clapped. She had long heard about the beauty and popularity of the Crawford Ancestral Home, but their Daddy never took them there.

It took more than three hours by car to get from A City to X City. They took a full four hours to reach their destination because of the snow.

It was dark when they arrived.

The butler of Crawford Ancestral Home had long been waiting for their arrival at the door. When he saw the car stop, he stepped forward and warmly welcomed them, "Master Crawford, young masters, and young lady, welcome to X City. I’m Otto Muller, the butler for the Crawford Ancestral Home."

"Hello, Mr. Muller," the kids greeted him obediently.

Luca looked at Otto. He was a kind-looking middle-aged man who looked like an X City folk.

Otto was looking at her too.

Luke had never brought Bianca here, but Otto knew that Luke was married. He greeted Luca, "Hello, Mrs. Crawford."

"Hello, I’m not..." Luca was embarrassed. She was probably the first person pretending to be herself. She was about to explain herself when Luke interrupted her, "Mr. Muller, is dinner ready?"

"Master Crawford, dinner is ready. Do you want to park the car outside?" Mr. Muller asked.

"Lliam and I will drive the cars in. Please take the kids inside," Luke looked at Luca.

Luca nodded, took Tommy’s and Rainie's hands, then looked at Lanie and said, "Let's go."

The children nodded and followed Luca into the Crawford Ancestral Home.

Luca took the children through the front yard of Crawford Ancestral Home and praised the design of the place. The courtyard alone highlighted the city's landscape features.

The place was even more beautiful after the blossoms of the spring snow.

"Ms. Luca, this place is so beautiful! Did you know that Daddy designed the place? Great-grandpa told us that he gave Daddy this land when he just graduated and asked him to design a villa. After Daddy looked at it, he mentioned that the land was not suitable for building a villa but was perfect for the Crawfords’ ancestral home. Great-grandpa asked him to do as he pleased and this is what we ended up with," Rainie said softly. She heard about the history of the Crawford Ancestral Home from Old Master Crawford.

"Your Daddy is awe-inspiring." Luca nodded in agreement.

Based on what Rainie said, Luke had just graduated at that time, and his design skills would likely be indistinct. Nevertheless, it was impressive that he was able to design such a beautiful place.

Otto said with a smile, "The Crawford Ancestral Home is a must-visit for many social media influencers. Many of them wanted to come in and visit, but I didn't let them in. It’s overbearing sometimes, so I set up a display wall on the outer wall with some photos of the interior decoration. As soon as the display was out, many local designers came here and mentioned that they wanted to observe and learn. Some even said that they wanted to pay to come in and visit. Oh, I accidentally said too much. Now, everyone, please follow me to the dining room."

Otto took them to the dining room.

After dinner, he allocated them their rooms.

The master bedroom belonged to Luke and Luca. The children chose their favorite bedroom among what remained to sleep in. Lliam did not want to disturb them, so he chose a first-floor guest room to sleep in.

After the bedrooms were allocated, the children returned to their respective bedrooms to wash up and rest.

They were also tired after more than four hours in the car.

Luca helped the child put away the toiletries and clothing before she returned to their bedroom. Luke had already unpacked his suitcase. He sat by the desk, working on his laptop.

"They're all unpacked?" Luke asked while looking at her.

"Mm, they’re probably taking a shower now." Luca walked to her suitcase and wanted to unpack.

After she put her stuff away, she picked up her toiletries, walked into the bathroom, and found that Luke had put his toiletries inside. However, she did not see any body wash or shampoo.

After she put her stuff inside, she walked out and asked, "Mr. Crawford, didn't you bring any body wash and shampoo?"

"I'll just use yours," Luke replied but did not look at her.

"Okay." Luca had no objection as if she foresaw that Luke would not bring them. She had a travel-sized bottle but she brought a large bottle.
