Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3048

”That’ll be great!” Nina’s eyes lit up when she heard about the grilled lobster.

“I know that’s your favorite,” Luca said smilingly.

“We haven’t known each other that long, but you already know me so well. It's like we're sisters.” Nina put her arm around Luca’s shoulder and smiled.

“I can assure you that you're not sisters,” said Luke with a gloomy face while he walked upstairs.

His voice startled Nina. She turned to look at him while he stared back at the both of them with resentful eyes.

“Mr. Crawford, you almost scared me to death, speaking out of nowhere like that.” Nina looked upset.

“It’s because you were too engrossed in your conversation.” After speaking to Nina, Luke turned to Luca and asked, “Aunt Neile asked if you want anything else other than lobster tonight.”

“What do you want for dinner?” Luca asked Nina. Lobster alone was not enough, so they had to think of other dishes to have too.

Luke got jealous when he saw her ask Nina instead of him. She had asked him in the car just now. Why did she not ask him now?

Nina noticed Luke’s expression and said, “Anything goes. I’m fine with whatever, but I want you to cook for me.”

“I’ll go downstairs and prepare, then,” said Luca while standing up.

“There’s no need to rush. It’s still early. I’ll help you out later so that I can learn your secrets.” Nina tugged at her arm and looked at Luke.

As she expected, the man looked even more upset.

Nina was having fun teasing him. If she were a guy, Luke would have thrown her out by now since she was occupying Luca.

“Oh, you’re right. How silly of me.” Luca smiled at Nina before turning to Luke and asking, “What do you want for dinner?”

Luke was even more jealous now. Why was he always second place when Nina was around?

He would let it go before Luca admitted her identity because he feared that Nina would find out.

Since she had not admitted who she was, Nina was still the priority.

Luke kept his jealousy to himself, thinking that one day it would get better.

Then, he said, “If you’re cooking, I’ll eat anything you make.”

Nina gasped, causing the two of them to look at her.

“What is it?” Luca asked.

Nina chuckled. “I didn’t think that Mr. Crawford would say such things. Amazing.”

Luke could sense Nina’s mockery. How childish. Then, Luke said to Luca, “I have a meeting to attend.”

“Okay.” Luca nodded before standing up. “Nina, let’s go downstairs.”

“What’s wrong? Why do we need to go downstairs?” Nina was confused.

“Mr. Crawford said he has to work. I think he’s going to be joining an international conference call, so it’s best that we don’t disturb him,” said Luca as being upstairs would disturb Luke.

“You’re so considerate of him.” Nina smiled and shook her head. She stood up, not forgetting to take her book with her.

Nina was studying all of this so that she could get closer to her. She wanted to communicate with her without Karen always getting irritated so easily.

“She needs help from a psychiatrist, not you. Maybe you should tell Mr. Mallory about this.” Luca gave her some advice.

Some people just liked getting themselves into dead ends. After Allison’s face was ruined, Luke found her a psychiatrist, but she refused. In the end, it got worse.

Luca did not know whether it was the psychiatrist’s problem or Allison’s rejection of therapy.

In the end, Luke took her to a different plastic surgery clinic. After the procedure, she was in a much better state.

“He knows what’s going on too, but his mother is just stubborn. We don’t have any other choice.” Nina sighed. “I’ll go make some tea. What tea do you want?”

“No, I’ll go. Do you have any preference?” Luca shook her head and stood up.

“I’m fine with anything,” said Nina.

“Read your book. I’ll go get a book too. I’ll bring some snacks over after I brew the tea,” said Luca. Good thing the weather was nice. The light breeze made it the perfect day to have some tea and read a book outside.

“Get me anything,” said Nina.

Luca walked into the kitchen and made a pot of jasmine tea. Then, she took out some snacks and asked Aunt Neile to send them over to the front yard. Meanwhile, she went upstairs to get a pharmacology book.

After walking out of the study, she passed by Luke’s room and saw that he was focusing on the computer screen. He was speaking fluently in a foreign language.

She tried to tread lightly so as to not disrupt his work.

When she got to the front yard, she sat on the other stool and started reading with Nina.
