Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2452

“Mr. Doyle didn’t do anything wrong.” Luca knew Luke was joking. Her lips curled up into a smile.

She liked relaxed and happy conversations like this.

“I don’t need anyone as long as you’re here,” said Luke. Luca was more important than anyone else.

Luca's face reddened. She could sense the hidden meaning in Luke's words. Then, she touched her face. She could feel her face burning. She turned to look at the streets, and only then did she realize they had passed by an ancestral hall.

“Mr. Crawford, isn’t that the ancestral hall?” Luca asked. She glanced at the navigation to make sure that the ancestral hall she saw was their destination.

“Yes. I’m looking for the parking lot,” replied Luke.

The main road outside the ancestral hall was a two-way street. They could not park their car here, and there were no parking lots in the ancestral hall either.

There happened to be a parking lot a couple of hundred feet away. Luke parked the car there. After he got out of the car, he opened his car trunk and took his tools out.

Luke brought many tools, and Luca helped him to pick up one of the measuring tools.

“Let me carry it.” Luke was unwilling to tire Luca out even though she used to do such things back then.

"I'm your assistant today. Let me carry it. Besides, it's not heavy at all," replied Luca. She was not a weak person back then, and neither was she now.

She could do what a man could do, and she did not need any help.

Luke picked up the rest of the tools, and the two of them slowly walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.

It was late. Some villagers who stayed nearby had already come out. They gave Luke and Luca peculiar looks when they saw them.

Luke and Luca ignored the way they looked at them.

They came to the ancestral hall. The chief of the village was waiting for them as they had informed him in advance.

The village chief saw them carrying so many things. He quickly asked the young people beside him to help carry the things for Luke and Luca.

He came forward, looked at Luke with a smile on his face, and said, "You must be Luke. Old Master Crawford has already informed me. Thank you for agreeing to design the reconstruction of the ancestral hall for us."

“It's Crawfords’ ancestral hall. It’s my job,” Luke’s voice was cold, but he did not give the village chief an attitude.

After all, the old master offered to take the job. As Old Master Crawford's grandson, he had to complete the job on his behalf.

“I’m glad you agreed to help. At least we can save some budget for the design fees. Thank you, Luke.” The village chief deliberately said so to make sure that it was free of charge.

“No problem.” Luke put down the toolbox and looked around the ancestral hall that was in front of him.

“By the way, this is Brian, and he’s Austin. They’re the students who are studying architecture in our village. I knew you’d be coming to measure the area today, so they came to learn from you and help you out,” the village chief introduced the two young men who stood beside him.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford," Brian was a little too excited. He was a second-year university student and he knew who Luke was.

His professors called Luke a genius architect. However, this genius had to run a multinational corporation. That was why he did not have many architectural works in this industry.

However, every work he designed was a masterpiece.

“Nice to meet you,” Luke replied in a cold voice. He looked at his surroundings. The ancestral hall was in ruins. If it was left here like that, it might end up collapsing.
