Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3017

"Yes, but do you really need that money?" Luca laughed and shook her head. Nina was still the same as before. Her way of talking and her thoughts were just like they used to be.

She had a wild imagination, which was incredibly adorable.

No wonder Percy liked her. He was drawn to Nina's unique qualities, which he himself did not possess.

Luca suddenly thought of Luke. Even though he had feelings for her since high school, what specific trait of hers did he like?

It suddenly crossed her mind—innocence…

Bianca, before the events of the past few years, was very innocent—especially during her school days...

Meanwhile, Luke was abandoned when he was born. Life's grind must have stripped away his innocence, and even the people around him would not be untouched by simplicity.

"Well, I don't need that money. The point is, those young fans won't spend that much money." Nina helplessly shook her head. How did she end up thinking about such things?!

She was not short of money either.

Back when she had such fanciful thoughts, before she got messed up by Pierre, she and Bianca could talk about anything.

However, after those incidents and Bianca's changes, she also changed rapidly. She no longer liked to talk about such imaginative things anymore.

Now that she realized she was saying these things to Luca, she was a bit surprised.

Rainie handed her homework to Luca. When she heard what Nina said, she chimed in, "Ms. Nina, kids nowadays have a lot of pocket money. They even secretly use their parents' money. It happens at my school too."

"What? That’s happening in your school too?" Nina widened her eyes. She often heard about students secretly using their parents' money to spend on games, but she did not expect such things to happen at Rainie’s school.

She thought that students from schools like the one Rainie attended could not be from ordinary families.

Hence, they should have a lot of pocket money. How much money could they spend on chasing celebrities or playing games to the extent that they even sneakily used their parents' money?

"Yes! One girl is obsessed with a celebrity. She spends a lot of money on votes and spamming gifts. When she runs out of pocket money, she'd use her parents' money.

"And there's also a boy who spends a lot of money on games. When his money isn't enough, he does the same thing.

"Their parents blamed the teachers for not educating them properly, so it escalated to the school. The school later warned other students not to follow their example," explained Rainie.

This incident happened not long ago. That was why her impression of it was still vivid.

"Oh my goodness, what a mindset..." Nina disagreed while shaking her head. She did not think the blame lay with the teachers. They merely taught the children to cherish food and money.

If there were issues, it must be the parents' fault.

Luca was also surprised. It was one thing for children to spend money, but secretly using their parents' money was another matter. There was a big difference between the two.

She glanced at the kids. Although they did not often ask her or Luke for money, was their pocket money enough?

Luca was worried that the kids might not have enough pocket money but did not tell her. She added, "Yes, always make sure to spend money in the right places. If it's the right cause and the child runs short on cash, parents will find a way to figure it out."

After that, Luca was reminded of her own childhood.

Even though her father's wallet was tightly controlled by her stepmother, Old Man Rayne and Wanda never treated her unfairly.

Knowing what she needed for her studies, Old Man Rayne would save and scrimp just to give her some money to spend.

"Mr. Crawford, this is the document my boss asked me to bring to you." The man handed a file to Luke.

The file was brought personally because the internet was heavily monitored by the Island of Despair. Ray was worried that if they sent it via email, it might be intercepted, alerting the other side. Thus, he chose the most traditional way of delivering documents.

Moreover, it was the safest. Sending someone he trusted to bring it over would avoid suspicion from the Island of Despair while safely delivering the document to Luke.

"Thank you. What's your boss been busy with lately?" Luke asked nonchalantly, making conversation.

However, the man replied seriously, "Our boss has been busy collaborating with other forces in Russia, preparing to assist you in getting rid of the Island of Despair again."

Luke nodded.

Rain and Gale exchanged glances with each other. There was excitement in their eyes.

They used to hate the Island of Despair. If it were not for the Island of Despair, they would not have had to live such anxious and blood-stained lives.

Ordinary people did not like to kill, and before they were sent to the Island of Despair, they were just ordinary people.

However, the Island of Despair left them with blood on their hands, turning them into bloodthirsty killers.

If it were not for Luke, they would never have been able to escape that kind of life.

The Island of Despair might be gone, but their hatred for it and their mischievous spirits were still alive and kicking.

Especially for Rain, she could never forget how her parents were killed by people from the Island of Despair. That scene, countless nights after the Island of Despair was wiped out, still haunted her dreams.
