Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3063

After Gale confirmed Abel's itinerary, Luke checked with Jason, and there was indeed such an invitation. Luke decided to bring Luca along.

When Luca heard Luke’s plan, she felt even more uneasy. "Are you going to meet him right now?"

Luca felt that meeting Abel at this moment was not a good opportunity.

Moreover, Luke was bringing her along...

What if Abel noticed? What should they do?

Luca could not imagine it.

Before they had a complete plan, she felt it was not appropriate to meet Abel.

That vigilant and malicious man might harm their kids if he sensed anything.

Luca knew that Luke had the ability to protect their kids.

However, she did not want to take that risk. After all, her children were her life.

Nyla grew up on the Island of Despair. Living in such an environment was bound to make her life challenging. That was why Luca felt a significant sense of indebtedness to Nyla.

"Luca, do you trust me?" Luke knew what Luca was worried about and held her hands.

Her hands were slightly cold due to the uneasiness in her heart.

Luke gave them a reassuring squeeze. Just mentioning Abel's name made Luca feel so uneasy.

He could not imagine how cautiously Luca had been living in fear of that man over the years.

He had not fully understood what Abel was capable of yet.

It was normal for Luca to be afraid.

Back on the Island of Despair, when Luke was planning his escape, he was also extremely cautious and doubly careful. He even had to sacrifice someone…

A hint of gloom appeared in Luke's eyes at the thought of this.

If he had hit them harder back then, the Island of Despair would not be posing a threat to his wife and children now.

"I trust you, but Luke, that man is really dangerous. I'm afraid I can’t handle it well and might expose something. Maybe you should..." Luca wanted to suggest that Luke go alone to reduce the risk of exposure.

Luke interrupted her and said, "Didn't you say he made you deliberately approach me?"

Luca nodded and blinked her eyes, not understanding why he would say that.

"If that's the case, let's put on a good show in front of him. Don't worry, besides you, I'll also have Evan accompany us," continued Luke.

Luca frowned and reminded him, "But it's just a small networking event. Watson's side is sending three people. Isn't that too much attention?"

For companies like Watson with T Corporation as capital support, participating in these smaller networking events were typically a matter of showing respect.

Normally, having someone like Evan attend was already considered giving due credit. It was usually the staff and manager of the marketing department who were sent to participate.

Now, not only Evan but also Luke and herself were going to attend the event...

Luca knew that she was considered a newcomer in the industry.

The drugs she developed were much more effective than others in the current pharmaceutical market. Hence, her medicine was widely purchased and used by many hospitals, making many pharmaceutical companies envious of her.

If the three of them attended the event together, Luca could not help but feel that they would receive excessive attention. It would raise suspicion.

She wondered if Abel would think the same.

Luke's lips curved up slightly. "Don't worry, I've already instructed Jason to handle things."

He had Jason spread the news about his participation in the networking event with a well-crafted reason.

Luke believed that once this news circulated, many influential figures in the industry would surely participate.

He was aware that he possessed the kind of capital that people would want to associate with.

Luca was convinced.

Taking care of the kids for three days would not really be a big trouble to Nina.

"Alright, let's have Nina help look after Lanie and the others. That way, we don’t have to trouble Old Master Crawford to take care of them for us." Luca agreed and added, "I'll go pack my clothes."

"Sure." Luke nodded.

Since it was just a three-day trip, it did not take long for Luca to pack her clothes. When she was about to prepare disposable toiletries, Luke said, "There’s no need to pack toiletries. We'll be staying at the Crawfords' ancestral home."

"We’re staying there?" Luca looked up at him when she heard this.

The Crawfords' ancestral home was managed by Mr. Muller. There was no need for them to prepare anything.

"Yes, I've checked the address. It's not far away from the event location," replied Luke. He was done packing his own luggage and zipped it up.

"What about Mr. Turner?" asked Luca.

"He'll stay in a hotel." Luke had no intention of letting Evan stay with them in the Crawfords' ancestral home.

Even though there were plenty of rooms, it did not mean he would allow another man to stay with them.

Luca zipped up her luggage and said to him, "Alright, I'll inform Nina."

"Sure." Luke nodded.

Luca left the bedroom and found Nina in the garden downstairs, sitting in the pavilion and reading a book.

"Nina." Luca walked over and sat down next to her in the pavilion.

Nina placed her book down and asked, "Have you guys discussed it? Are you sure about the business trip? How many days will you be gone?"

"Yes, I've discussed it with Luke. We're going on a business trip to X City, and it'll take three days in total," answered Luca. She already knew what Nina wanted to ask and answered her queries in one go.
