Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3115

Luca had long gotten accustomed to Luke's cold attitude toward others. She glanced at the time and suggested, "It's already noon. Why don't we grab lunch before heading back?"

"Sounds good. Let's go to the restaurant we went to yesterday. Since it's not the weekend and the event is over, there shouldn't be as many people. We can get a table without reservations," replied Luke. He remembered that Luca enjoyed the food there.

Luca probably wanted to savor that taste again. However, she would have to wait until their next visit to X City.

"Do we really need to go back there? Let's save the trouble. There's a restaurant upstairs in this hotel. We can have a meal there and then head home." Luca shook her head as she thought it was unnecessary to backtrack.

She knew Luke suggested going to that restaurant because she enjoyed the food there, but for her, it did not matter where they ate. As long as she was with Luke, she felt content.

Luke understood her thoughts and did not insist. It was better to go back early anyway. Although it was summer and the sun did not come down till late, which made it safe to drive even in the late evenings, they had been away for three days. She was probably thinking about their kids at home.

Their kids were surely missing them too.

For the past three days, the kids had not video-called them as they probably thought that they were busy and did not want to disturb them.

Going no contact for three days naturally made Luca anxious.

Hence, the three of them had lunch at the restaurant upstairs and then set off back to A City.

On the way back to A City, Luke received a call from Gale.

"Boss, I just received a call. There are two pieces of news. The first is that Abel will take a plane to A City tomorrow afternoon, but it's unclear what business he has here and whether he'll look for Ms. Craw to cause trouble.

"The second news is that Abel has crippled Gerald. He'll probably need some time to recover. If we act now, we can pin Gerald down...

"Oh, there's another piece of news. It’s about Stan Muller, your butler. Gerald had a talk with the doctor before he went to see Abel. He told the doctor Stan would like to undergo the surgery. The police want to arrest him, but they have to wait until after the surgery," Gale reported the news he received.

"Got it." Luke's eyes darkened.

After they found out Abel's true identity, Gale chose to approach a person smoothly and successfully obtained information from him.

Of course, money was spent.

That person was from the Island of Despair, one of Abel's associates. He was not efficient in completing tasks but always managed to escape danger. Therefore, Abel, in order to satisfy his clients, stopped assigning him tasks.

Instead, he chose to keep him around as a thug.

Being around Abel meant missing out on many money-making opportunities. The man loved gambling, and he owed a lot of money to others.

If he owed money outside the Island of Despair, no one could come after him as long as he was on the Island of Despair.

However, since he owed money to people on the Island of Despair, he urgently needed money to repay those debts. Otherwise, he would face consequences like being chased down or beaten up.

When Gale tempted him with money to help, he agreed immediately.

"What's wrong?" Luca noticed Luke's expression change after taking the call.

Luke answered, "The police have already detained Mr. Muller, but since he's scheduled for surgery, they can't do anything to him now."

"What else?" Luca knew Luke's temperament well. Just one incident involving Stan would not trouble him. There had to be something else that made him furrow his brows.

"There's really nothing that escapes your notice. Well, Gerald got beaten up pretty badly by Abel," added Luke. Warren was also under Luke's command, so he could be trusted.
