Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2717

He insisted on meeting Luke in person before revealing any information about the Island of Despair.

In addition, Marcos received news about his mother living here. That was why he planned to make a trip to A City. He claimed to the people on his side that he needed to come here to do business, then he would take a charter flight to travel to A City.

"The remnants of the Island of Despair need to be eliminated," Percy said in a sinister tone.

On the other hand, after Luca had dinner with Amur, Amur took the initiative to clean up the table.

Luca took out the dough that had been left to rest and the marinated filling. Then, she walked to the dining room to prepare pot pies and croissants.

Amur sat beside her and watched Luca divide the flour for the croissants and pot pies. He waited to see how she did it.

Luca's fingers were slender. She was skilled when she rolled the dough. It only took a while before a beautifully shaped croissant appeared in her hands.

"You’re good with your hands," said Amur. He also understood that he might not be able to do it himself if he had to do this alone.

However, he did not know why Luca insisted on letting him try.

"You can do it too. Come on, give it a try." Luca had already divided the dough for the croissants and handed one of the balls to Amur.

Then, she picked up another ball of dough and taught him step by step how to make it.

After a while, Luca had made a fine-looking croissant, while Amur's croissant looked lumpy and ugly.

Amur frowned while looking at the croissant in his hand. Then, he glanced at Luca. "It despairs me looking at the difference between yours and mine. I'm not good at this."

"Don't worry. It’s not like we’re selling them. They're edible as long as the crust doesn't break," Luca reassured Amur and encouraged him to make more. "There are still plenty more to make. Help me out, will you?"

"Sure." Amur thought to himself that even if they did not look good, they would still taste good because they were Luca’s homemade food.

The appearance might be unappealing, but she still made them. They would taste good.

Amur continued to shape the croissants while Luca began preparing the pot pies.

"What's the good news you mentioned earlier?" Amur suddenly asked.

Luca smiled. She wiped her hands with a tissue and took out a piece of paper from her briefcase. Then, she handed it to him.

"What's this?" Amur looked at the pile of data, confused.

"Just a moment," Luca took out another piece of paper.

She was not sure if there was any surveillance camera installed here by Abel. Hence, she wrote all her good news on this piece of paper.

She handed it over to Amur to read.

Amur took it from her and saw the message on it. He understood why she used such a method to deliver the message. He looked surprised. "Are you serious?"

"Yes, I’ve spent a long time working on it. It finally worked." Luca nodded. She picked up a wet wipe to clean her hands and continued making pot pies.

"This is the good news you were talking about…" Amur could not believe it. It was as though he was dreaming.

He remembered Luca telling him and his sister that no matter what, she would try her best to help them escape from the Island of Despair when she was about to leave the island for her mission.

However, the brother and sister never mentioned it.

They had all taken the poison, and they knew that they only had a few days to live if they really escaped from the Island of Despair.

Everyone worked hard to complete their tasks to survive. At the same time, they were hoping that nothing would get rid of the Island of Despair.

They would lose their cure without the Island of Despair.

It would be a dead end for them.

Developing the cure was an important foundation for their escape from the Island of Despair, but rescuing Nyla and Eler was another challenge.

Luca did not say anything else. After she finished making the croissants and pot pies, she gave instructions to Amul on what to do next.

As Amul listened to her, he suddenly thought that perhaps living with Luca in A City would be a good idea.

Even though he could not be her lover or the one who was closest to her, it would be enough for him to be able to stay beside her and protect her.

With Amur’s help, it took Luca about half an hour to prepare the croissants and pot pies.

After placing them in the refrigerator, Luca was worried that Amur might forget to eat them. Thus, she picked up a sticky note nearby. Then, she wrote down the date and how much time was needed to bake them.

"I'm not that old. I can remember what you said." Amur laughed helplessly when he saw her writing the note and sticking it on the refrigerator.

"I'm not afraid that you'll forget about this. I'm afraid that you won’t eat well. We have to look ahead now. A better future lies ahead of us." Luca smiled as she looked at the sticky note she had just stuck on the refrigerator. "Remember to eat well and not starve yourself, okay?"

"Okay. Got it." Amur nodded.

Luca cleaned everything up and said, "Also, do remember to inform me in the first instance if he makes a move. I won't interfere, but I have to know what he's up to, okay?"

"Alright." There was no way Amur could refuse her.

"I shall leave first.” Luca put on her coat.

"Okay. I'll take you downstairs," said Amur as he picked up his coat.

Luca shook her head. "It’s okay. The chauffeur is waiting for me downstairs. Apply an ice pack on your face again. It's still swollen."

After that, Luca walked into the bedroom and picked up her phone.

Luca turned on the screen and found that Luke had sent her a message: [When are you coming back?]
