Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2691

Oswald yawned. He did not feel like sleeping anymore. He got out of bed and planned to get himself a glass of water to make his throat feel better.

When he walked out of the room, he realized the door was left open.

“Who the f*ck didn’t close the door last night?” Oswald could not help but scowl when he saw that. Were they not inviting thieves to break into their house if the door was left open?

It would be fine if the door was not usually closed, but he had just got what Pierre asked him to get from his office. What should he do if they did not close the door and everything was stolen?

Oswald walked toward the door and closed it.

However, he was worried thieves had broken into their house. He immediately opened the door of the room beside him.

The two of them were sleeping soundly on the bed.

Oswald thought it was one of them who did not close the door when they came back last night. He kicked their beds and asked, “Who didn’t close the door last night?”

The two men sleeping on the bed did not respond.

Oswald ran out of patience. He came forward and slapped them in their faces to wake them up. “Wake up!”

The men on the bed slowly woke up when they were slapped in their faces. They saw Oswald standing beside the headboard. One of them asked drowsily, “Brother Oswald, what’s the matter?”

“Who didn’t close the door last night?!” asked Oswald.

One of the men rose to his feet and stroked his aching face. He replied, "Boss, we closed the door last night."

“How’s that possible?! The door was left open!” Oswald pointed at the door outside.

The man recalled what happened last night and said, “You were still drinking at the bar when we came home last night. You were the last one to come home. Could it be that you were drunk and you forgot to close the door?”

“Bullsh*t. I never forgot to close the door,” cursed Oswald. He had always kept the habit of closing the door. No matter how drunk he was, the first thing he did when he arrived home was to close the door.

He had always done that, and he had never failed to close the door.

The man stroked his face and made a guess, “Did thieves break into the house?”

“This house would be a mess if thieves had broken in! Look, does this place look like thieves have been here?” ranted Oswald. The living room looked like how it was yesterday.

Even though it was messy, the living room would be a bigger mess if the thieves broke in. There was no way it would look like what it did yesterday.

“Then it must be Mr. Pierre. He probably went out and forgot to close the door,” the other man piped in.

Pierre had been in his room when they came back last night.

Hence, it was probably Pierre who went out and forgot to close the door.

"Really? The police are still looking for him…" doubted Oswald. Pierre was on the wanted list now, but he was not a wanted criminal. However, the police posted Pierre's photo and announced to the public that anyone would be rewarded if they provided some useful information to track him down.

Hence, the only difference between Pierre and a wanted criminal was that the bounty offered for the capture of the criminal was higher.

The reward offered for capturing Pierre was much lower than the one offered for wanted criminals.

After all, the police only wanted to investigate Pierre.

They would not be arresting him.

Nevertheless, Pierre still refused to show up. He said that he would only show up after waiting for the Mallory family to clean up the mess.

Would Pierre go out at this moment?
