Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2820

Previously, it was understandable for her to do so when Bianca was around.

Leia had always liked Luke. Bianca’s appearance and identity took away some of Queenie's and Jack’s familial affection. It was normal for Leia to target her at every turn.

However, it seemed that Leia had given up on liking Luke after that.

Her current identity was Luca. The Norman family did not know about it. Logically speaking, there should be no vested interest between her and Leia.

Yet, Leia was still targeting her...

Luca really did not know why Leia held such a grudge against her. Could it be...?

She turned to look at Luke. Her gaze was focused and somewhat peculiar. Was Leia still in love with Luke?

Luke raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I’m going to apply some skincare products," said Luca as she lowered her eyes and glanced at the hand held tightly by Luke.

Luke smiled and released her hand.

Luca sat in front of the dressing table, carefully taking care of her skin in the mirror. Her skin had improved a lot since she left the Island of Despair.

Although Shanks used to provide her with some skincare products he developed, the training on the Island of Despair was relentless. Sometimes, she would hold Nyla in her arms and fall asleep when she was exhausted.

How could she even care to take good care of her skin?

Now, even though the current skincare products were more expensive, they could not compare to what Shanks had developed. However, applying them every day still yielded better results.

As Luca looked at her reflection in the mirror, she remembered the message she received from Tommy before entering the bathroom. She turned to Luke and said, "I’d like to visit Crawford Manor the day after tomorrow."

"You miss them, right?" Luke assumed that she wanted to see the children as soon as she mentioned it.

Luca nodded. She did miss the three children, but there were also other things on her mind. "Tommy said that their school is organizing a spring outing the day after tomorrow. The school will provide food and drinks, but they also encourage the children to bring homemade snacks from home. I'd like to make some for him."

"Will it be too tiring for you to make them yourself? Why don’t you ask Aunt Neile to do it, and you can just deliver them?" In Luke’s heart, Luca was more important than the kids.

Luca shook her head. "I'm not tired. If the kids want to eat them, I'll make them. The snacks Aunt Neile makes are slightly different from mine. Even if I give them Aunt Neile’s homemade snacks and tell them that I made them, they can still tell the difference."

Children had a sharp sense of taste. Even if she blindfolded them and let them taste the snacks she made and those made by others, they could instantly tell them apart.

Even though she was not their mother now, the food she made with a mother's touch was a manifestation of her love for them. It was normal for children to be able to taste it.

When Tommy told her that he wanted to have the snacks she made, she readily agreed.

Luke shook his head when he saw how devoted she was to the kids. Fortunately, they were their children. Otherwise, he might have felt jealous.

He felt sorry to make Luca tired.

Luke placed the laptop on the nightstand, got out of bed, and stood behind her. He picked up a comb and gently ran it through her recently let-down hair. "You don't have to tire yourself out. Whether it's the children or Aunt Wanda, someone will take care of them."

Luca held his left hand that was resting on her shoulder.

Luke took care of their children and also took care of her aunt. There were some things that did not need to be mentioned, but she knew that he had always been sharing her burdens.

Luca also wanted to share some of his burdens, to make him less weary. However, what could she do for him?

Luca had no idea. She did not know how much time she had left to be by Luke's side.
