Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2756

"It’s okay," replied Luca. Luca and the maid proceeded to serve breakfast on the table. She then took her seat where she waited for her kids to finish their morning routine.

Upstairs, Aunt Neile had delivered breakfast to Luke’s bedroom and awoken the kids. After, she reminded them that they would be going to Crawford manor today before she then made her way downstairs.

“Ms. Craw, the kids are packing their stuff now. They’ll be coming down soon,” reported Aunt Neile. The kids did not say much about their return to Crawford manor, but they made sure to pack their homework, stationery, and textbooks before heading out.

Everything else they needed was already available at Crawford manor.

Luke had made sure to ready the kids’ uniforms and other essentials at Crawford manor in hopes that it would make their move easier. Therefore, the kids did not have to bring many things along with them.

"Okay," nodded Luca. She then picked up the newspaper while waiting for the kids to join her for breakfast.

Today’s headline of the A City newspaper was about Mrs. Margaret Jackman, who was arrested by the police for assault.

Luca quickly read through the article and let out a sigh of relief.

It did not mention Luke’s or her name, and it only stated that Mrs. Jackman had been arrested for injuring someone. The evidence of the assault was conclusive, which led to her arrest. The police did not disclose the details of the offense, and the reporters could not get any further information.

Plastered on the front page was a photo of a police officer arresting Margaret at her house.

Luca realized that this was not something the press would have covered unless someone had tipped them off.

Given the photo taken, it was obvious that that what had happened.

Someone wanted Mrs. Jackman to face a more severe punishment than just a few days of detention. That was why the reporters were told in advance to wait outside her house before the police arrived.

Luca suspected that it was Luke’s arrangement. After all, no one else could have known when the police would have showed up at the Jackman's residence.

The moment Luca finished reading the article, she heard the kids greet her, “Good morning, Ms. Luca.”

"Good morning," smiled Luca the three children. She pulled out the chair next to her, Time for breakfast. I'll send you back to Crawford manor after this."

"Okay,” nodded the kids. There were no objections raised when the kids knew they were heading to Crawford manor.

After all, Luke had mentioned to them yesterday that they might be going back to Crawford manor for a week due to their busy work schedule these days.

The three kids understood, and obliged their father.

The three of them sat on the chair, munching away their breakfast.

Luca could not help but feel a twinge of reluctance in her heart as she looked at their innocent faces.

She could not bear to leave them, though it would only be for a few days at Crawford manor.

Luca had no idea how long she could stay here. She wanted to cherish every moment spent with her children.

Old Master Crawford missed his grandchildren. There was not much she could say about it.

After breakfast, Luca drove the three children and the maid back to Crawford manor.

As the maid and the three kids stepped out of the car, Luca prepared to drive off. Yet before she could make a move, Mr. Griffin knocked on the car window, halting her in her tracks.

"Ms. Craw, the old master would like to speak with you." said Mr. Griffin, offering Luca a warm smile.

Although Mrs. Jackman was in the wrong this time, an apology from the other party would usually suffice for such occurences. However, Luke had blown the issue out of the water and got the police involved in this matter for her sake. As a result, Mrs. Jackman was now being held in custody.

Even though the Crawford family did not take the Jackman family seriously, it did not matter if there was a potential partnership between them. Old Master Crawford was not a person who liked to get into trouble.

This time, the old master must have thought that things had been blown out of proportion unnecessarily.

Old Master Crawford looked at the cautious expression on Luca’s face. He urged the kids again, "Off you go. The desserts made by Mrs. Nancy aren’t going to taste good if they get cold."

Tommy pouted, "Great-grandpa, we just had our breakfast. We’re still full."

Then, Tommy pulled his clothes around him and pressed it against his belly to show the old master his round and plump belly.

"They’re just desserts. They won't take up so much space in your stomach!" smiled Old Master Crawford as he pinched Tommy’s cheek.

Lanie resembled Luke the most among the three of them. The calmer Lanie was, the more he behaved like him.

Tommy was mischievous. Although he looked like Luke when he was a child, there was a vast difference in their characters.

Mr. Griffin understood what was Old Master Crawford’s mind. He took the initiative and spoke, "Kids, let me take you to the kitchen first. Let's see if you like the dessert. Besides, you have to place your bags in your rooms too, right?"

"Okay, Mr. Griffin." The three of them then followed Mr. Griffin into the kitchen.

"Old Master Crawford, how have you been?" Luca knew Mr. Griffin intentionally drove the kids away. Hence, she waited for the kids to leave before taking her turn to slowly speak.

"I’m feeling better after receiving your herbal therapy. I have more energy when I walk. I eat more than I usually do, and my sleep has improved. I also heard that you’ve been nursing Rayne’s health. His condition has improved a lot recently. It’s just that he keeps talking about his daughter these days." said Old Master Crawford, intentionally mentioning the Rayne family.
