Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2498

"This is a long-term investment. I’m certain no one will object. Besides, it's about time for your research to go public," Luke whispered in her ear. He was a little emotional.

Luca's research was well-received after several clinical trials.

The company's marketing department conducted a survey and found that if they priced it right, most medical institutions expressed interest in purchasing the drug in bulk for their patients.

As such, they did not have to worry that it would not sell.

Luca hummed softly. Her mind went blank as Luke approached her. "Mr. Crawford, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Mm, this decision is right for the company's future." Luke pressed his lips on her neck.

Luca followed his movements and fell onto the bed. She went soft as she felt his tender and fiery kisses.

As they rolled in the hay, no one noticed that Luca's phone lit up and then dimmed again.

The night was dark, and the fiery heat that went on in their room was in stark juxtaposition with the cold weather outside.

The next day.

Luca woke up feeling unwell, only to find that Luke was already up.

After she washed up, she picked up her phone to see an unread text.

The long number made her vigilant. The length of the number was like garbled characters. She glanced at the messy bed and lost the mood to clean up.

Luca turned her gaze back to her phone screen.

The text message was likely from someone on the Island of Despair.

Luca bit her lip and clicked on the text with her trembling fingers. It was the familiar garbled code. After she quickly translated it, she understood the text that Abel sent. [Did you have a good New Year?]

Although it was a question, she saw through his ridicule and malicious intent...

Luca took a deep breath, her body still shaking uncontrollably. She glanced at the time and found that Abel had sent her the text last night.

She was in bed with Luke at that time...

Fortunately, Abel did not call her when she did not reply. Otherwise, she would not know how to act calm and natural if she had to answer the call in front of Luke.

Luca replied with a string of codes. She asked him what was the matter. She deleted the text after she saw that it was sent successfully.

She looked at the mirror and found that her ruddy complexion from a second ago was no longer. She had turned pale and looked worried.

Luca sighed. Abel was a nightmare that would never go away. She could never be calm whenever she received texts or calls from him.

She gathered herself and walked out of the bedroom.

She went downstairs, and Luke was the only one in the living room because Vivian and the children had not started school yet.

"Mr. Crawford, good morning." After Luca went closer to greet him, she sat down on the chair with her eyes looking down.

"Good morning." Luke noticed that the smile on her face contained some sense of dread. He could not help but frown and wondered if he went too far and too hard on her the previous night.

"Did you have a good rest last night?" He had to ask.

Luca looked like she got enough rest but had a forced smile on her face. Luke was a little concerned when he saw it and wanted to know what was going on.

"All good." Luca shook her head. She always slept well and did not need sleeping pills when he was by her side.

"What happened?" Luke continued to ask.

"It's alright, I'm just used to being on holiday. I think it’ll just take some time to adapt to going back to work. " Luca smiled although she knew that it was her expression that betrayed her.
