Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2990

"It was the kids...?" Luca was surprised, not expecting that it was actually the kids who discovered it first.

"Will they be mad at me?" Luca could not help but ask. She had lied to them, after all.

As an adult and their mother, she had always taught them not to lie, not to deceive, and to be honest and kind.

However, she had deceived the children from the very beginning.

"No, don't think about that. Since finding out your true identity, they've been worried about you, especially Rainie. She’s worried that you might be facing some difficulties. She’s also afraid that you would suddenly leave again," answered Luke.

Suddenly, Luca remembered the night when the rumors first came out, Rainie was very worried. She was afraid that she would not be able to see Luca the next day if she fell asleep...

Her heart softened at the thought of the kids worrying about her, and it subtly ached.

"I think we shouldn't tell them about having another sister for now. Children shouldn't bear too much. When we arrive home, I'll open up to them and admit my identity. But I’ll also ask them to keep it a secret. I don't want them to worry about another person," said Luca.

If Lanie and the others knew that they had a younger sister in the hands of those bad guys, they would certainly worry.

Therefore, Luca wanted to keep it a secret at the moment. After rescuing Nyla, she would confess to them that she was their younger sister.

"Okay." Luke agreed with Luca's plan. As parents, their top mission was to protect the kids, not to have the kids worrying alongside them.

Lanie's maturity would influence his younger siblings. Luke hoped his children could be happier and not resemble him.

The others said Lanie was like a little adult. Old Master Mallory also said that Lanie was exactly like him when he was a child.

Luke’s personality was shaped by the environment.

Lanie did not have to become another Luke Crawford.

It was better not to let the kids know too much about things that would make them worry.

"I'll talk to the kids after we arrive home. Let's keep this from Aunt Neile for now. We'll tell her about this once everything is sorted out,” said Luca.

Aunt Neile had been working in the Crawford family for more than ten years, and she was considered a trustworthy person.

She was probably not sent here by the Island of Despair, but they could not guarantee that she would not talk about these things after knowing them. There was also a chance that she might be threatened by the Island of Despair one day in the future...

Luca did not want to cause too much trouble for herself.

Luke agreed with her. Still, he smiled when he thought back to the kids complaining about him regarding Luca not admitting her true identity and their longing to call her 'Mommy'.

"So, if we keep things as they are, the kids won't be calling you 'Mommy' at home. I don’t think they’ll be happy about it."

"It's better to keep things the way they are. They're still kids, after all," Luca knew what the kids had in their mind. They probably felt stifled when they had to address her as Ms. Luca instead of ‘Mommy'.

If she confessed everything to them, but they were still not allowed to call her ‘Mommy’, they would probably still feel sad about it.

However, this was unavoidable. If the kids started calling her 'Mommy' when they were at home but had to continue to address her as 'Ms. Luca' in front of outsiders, they might slip up in conversations. That could cause trouble.

It was better to let them temporarily keep addressing her the same way.

Luke drove back to the villa. After entering the area, Luca took off her hat and mask. Reporters could hardly get in here. Once the car entered the area, there was no need to worry about being photographed by reporters.

After they arrived home, the three kids gathered around in unison, eagerly looking at Luca without saying a word.

Luca knew for sure that Luke had briefed the kids on what they were going to do today.
