Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3064

"Three days. Well, that's not too bad, not too long," replied Nina, already calculating in her mind that when they were on a business trip, she would have to go back to her own place.

After all, the master's family was not around, and it would not be appropriate for her to stay here.

"Yes, there's one more thing I'd like to ask of you," added Luca.

"What is it?" Nina looked at her with curiosity, unsure of how she could help Luca.

"I was wondering if you could take care of the kids for these three days," Luca stated her request. Worried that Nina would reject her, she added, "The kids are well-behaved, and they have a certain routine, so you won't need to do much. Just having an adult around in the evenings for safety would be great."

Luca agreed to Luke's request not only to avoid troubling Old Master Crawford but also because it gave Nina a reason to stay here.

After all, Percy would not be back in A City for several more days. If she went back now, Karen might come looking for her.

"Sure, no problem." Nina did not want to go back, especially considering that it might be awkward for her to be here without Luca and Luke.

"Now, that's great. Thank you, Nina," Luca expressed her gratitude.

"I should be the one thanking you. I know what you're doing. Asking me to take care of the kids is just giving me a reason to continue staying here. If I'm not here, I might be bothered by Percy's mother at any time," Nina understood the situation. If she had to express gratitude, it should be her thanking both of them.

"Oh, don't mention it. You've really helped us a lot," replied Luca, "Old Master Crawford wants to live peacefully lately. If the kids went back to stay for three days, it would disturb the old master. So, it's better for them to stay here. But Aunt Neile also has her own family to take care of. Your willingness to help is a big favor to us."

"Let's not talk about that. I have a question to ask," Nina shook her head. She did not want the gratitude exchange to go on indefinitely and had another question to address.

"What is it?" asked Luca.

"I'm just curious. Why would Mr. Crawford attend a not-so-important industry networking event and even bring you along?" asked Nina.

If Luca were Luke's secretary, it would make sense for her to accompany him to such events.

However, Luca was not his secretary at the moment, and it was not a particularly important industry networking event.

So, why would both of them go together?

Even though Nina was aware of the special relationship between Luke and Luke.

Nina knew Luke was not the kind of man who would bring a woman along just for his personal needs during a business trip.

Hence, she could not understand.

"Mr. Crawford heard that there will be an influential figure participating in this industry networking event. That’s why he decided to join," Luca fabricated a lie.

Nina exclaimed, "Oh, I see. A big shot, huh..."

"You know, in the pharmaceutical industry, Watson is just a newly emerging company, not that well-known. So, when a big shot in the industry decided to attend this networking event, Mr. Crawford thought it would be a good idea to bring me and the company's general manager along," explained Luca.

Nina furrowed her brows. Something still felt off.

Even though Watson was a new player in the industry, it had the support of the T Corporation, which was a considerable advantage compared to many others.

Even if the industry big shots are attending, they could ask Watson’s general manager and a few research professors to participate. Was there a need for Luke to personally attend the event himself?

Was all this just for that big shot?

Was Luke going to cozy up to this industry big shot?

Nina refused to believe it.

Others may try to curry favor with Luke, but this was a bit too much!

However, since Luca said so, Nina, though still skeptical, did not press further. She simply nodded and said, "Oh, I see. That makes sense, no wonder you're going together."
