Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2463

Percy knew how determined he was and opted to support him. "I’ll help you with anything you need."

"Let’s go in," Luke said. His head felt clearer after being out in the cold for so long.

Since he had determined his next step, Luke had to double his efforts to get Luca back to his side.

The two brought some cold wind with them as they walked into the living room on the second floor. After Percy closed the door, he could not help but complain, "I’m lacking training."

When he went under special training, he was forced to wear a singlet as he did various drills in the snow. At that time, he did not feel cold at all.

Now, he was unable to bear the cold when he stood outside on the balcony for a while.

Luke gave him a cool look and reminded him, "You’re weak."

"Nonsense, I'm not weak at all. If you don't believe me, ask Nina." Percy corrected him sternly since it was a matter involving his male ego.

"I’m sure Nina will protect your ego, but to be honest, if you feel weak, you can ask Luca to prepare some medicines for you. After you take them, I’m sure that your body will be as good as new," Luke said.

"Let’s go for a run outside. I’ll show you what a real man is." Percy tugged on Luke's sleeve. He had to prove that he was not a weakling.

He felt cold standing there, but he believed that it would not affect him if he was active.

"Let go." Luke shook his arm off.

"What? You don’t dare to? Is there anything that Mr. Luke Crawford doesn't dare to do?" Percy provoked him.

Luke looked at him and thought he was acting childish. It seemed that love would make a person stupid.

Percy was the perfect example.

Seeing that Luke did not respond, Percy took the opportunity to say with certainty, "You’re a coward."

Luke was not bothered. He was about to go down when the phone in his pocket rang.

He took the phone out and found that Jason was calling.

"What's the matter?" Luke answered the call and held the phone to his ear.

"Boss, Happy New Year. Ms. Tanner called me in the middle of the night last night and asked you to call her back. It seems like it’s something urgent..." Jason's tone was full of helplessness.

"She called you?" Luke raised his eyebrows. After he blocked Allison's number, he did not expect her to go straight to Jason.

"Yes, she didn't tell me any details. Boss, do you think she got into trouble again..." Jason could not think of another reason.

After all, Luke had him transfer money to Allison every month.

The money was just transferred to her account at the beginning of the month. It was impossible that Allison ran out of money so soon.

Although Luke was impatient with Allison, he did not pay her a single cent less compared to before. That amount of money was enough to cover a full year's expenses for an ordinary family.

"I see." Luke did not make a stance.

He did not want to make guesses about Allison. No matter whether it was a good or a bad possibility, it would end up being worse than expected.

"Boss, you won't call Ms. Tanner back, will you?" Jason took note of his bland tone. Any other son would not react as such when they hear that something had happened to their mother.

However, he could not bring himself to blame his boss. After all, Allison was a troublemaker. Over the years, she had rubbed off every bit of Luke’s patience and love for her.

Anyone who had a mother as such had bad luck.

"If you're annoyed with her, feel free to block her," Luke said and hung up the call.

"Blocked," Jason said. He picked up the knife and fork and smiled at her. "Thank you, my love."

"How could Luke involve you in his family affairs..." Sue complained. She wanted to sleep in, but Allison called Jason first thing in the morning and disturbed their sleep.

She told Jason not to mute his phone yesterday because she thought Allison would stay quiet and stop making a fuss.

After all, Allison was the kind of person who slept until the sun was shining brightly. She did not expect that she would wake up earlier than anyone else just to call him.

Sue's plan to stay in bed was ruined, so she could not help but feel a little resentful.

"There’s no other way. I have to attend to the things that the boss doesn't want to take care of," Jason said. He was not just Luke’s work assistant.

"We should be able to get some peace for the next few days," Jason added.

"What do you think Allison will do if she can't contact you or Mr. Crawford?" Sue felt that Allison must have something urgent to talk to Luke about.

Otherwise, she would not be looking for Jason during odd hours.

"The boss can't escape if she goes to Crawford Manor." Jason could not stop himself from gloating.

He had dealt with so many matters relating to Allison for Luke. Since Allison could not get to him, she would likely head to Crawford Manor.

In the end, Luke would still be involved.

Kari looked at the expression on Jason's face, and she was puzzled. "Dad, what are you laughing about?"

Jason touched the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and said, "I didn't laugh."

"Who’s the Allison that you're talking about?" Teri asked.
