Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2938

Luca’s gaze slightly lowered, and suddenly she remembered the words Susan said to her while she was drunk at the time Luke brought her back to Crawford Manor.

She thought they were heartfelt, but in reality, they were quite awkward.

Now, here she was in yet another awkward situation. Even though Susan had changed her tone, Luca could not help but recall the past and found it as awkward as before.

Susan noticed that Luca did not say anything. She thought her words had struck a chord. Therefore, she changed her approach, putting on the expression of a wise elder. She said with sincerity, "You're beautiful, talented, and young. What kind of man can't you find?"

Luca blinked her eyes. Was she actually complimenting her?

If Susan was truly complimenting her, it was as likely as seeing pigs fly.

Luca lifted her head and put on a pitiful expression on her face. She did not understand why Luke had not come down yet. Since she let Susan in, it was up to her to resolve this issue now. "Madam Crawford, you're absolutely right. I know I'm exceptional, but I've realized that with someone as outstanding as me, I must find a man better than me. That's why I decided to be with Luke."

Susan was rendered speechless for a moment. What nonsense was she talking about?

After praising her a couple of times for being outstanding, did she actually consider herself an outstanding person? Did she have no shame?

Suppressing her urge to mock, Susan continued persuading, "There are plenty of good men in the world. I heard you're from Russia. Aren't there many successful businessmen in Russia?

"You can easily leave Luke and become someone's legitimate wife instead of a mistress. Besides, Luke truly loves Bianca. Perhaps his lapse in judgment is due to his loneliness while Bianca is away. When Bianca returns, you… Sigh."

Luca sat up straight while listening to her, pretending to hesitate for a moment. However, her tone carried a sense of determination.

"But the more I'm with Luke, the more I sink into it. Madam Crawford, I truly love him. I can stand behind him for a lifetime, even if I'm not acknowledged or known. It doesn’t matter as long as I'm by his side, because I love him." Luca intentionally said these to provoke Susan.

However, what she said was the truth as well.

She loved Luke Crawford.

She would love him for the rest of her life.

No matter what she went through, nothing could change her feelings.

As Susan watched Luca confess her love for Luke passionately, she could not help but feel annoyed.

She had come here to create a rift between Luca and Luke today.

The way things were headed, it was like she was doing them a favor!

Susan stopped putting on a show and became blunt. "You shameless mistress. Love? Do you even understand love? Are you worthy of it? You're only after Luke’s money, aren't you? I won't allow you to be together with Luke!"

"Mother, what right do you have to disapprove of me being with Luca?" Luke's voice echoed from upstairs.

He had not even arrived yet, but his voice had already reached them.

Luca turned around to glance at the staircase corner where Luke was.

It turned out he had been eavesdropping on her conversation with Susan behind the stairs!

Luca recalled the affectionate words she had just spoken and could not help but blush. She had never said something like that back when she was just Bianca.

Surprisingly, the honest words she had told Susan to provoke her had all been overheard.

Luca felt embarrassed...

Susan saw Luke make his way down the stairs and raised an eyebrow.
