Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3118

Luca nodded in understanding and came downstairs with him.

Nina was not there.

She could not help but ask curiously, "Aunt Neile, is Nina not coming back for dinner tonight?"

Aunt Neile replied as she served the dishes, "Mrs. Mallory just called me. She said that she received an unexpected guest at the company, so she won't be coming back for dinner. She told us not to wait for her."

Luca did not think much about it, but Luke said, "Percy is back."

"Huh? Mr. Mallory is back?" Luca was surprised. "How do you know?"

"I guessed. You'll see later. Nina probably will come back tonight to pack her things and move out," replied Luke.

It was more like a calculated guess rather than information leaked by Percy himself.

However, Percy had made it clear that he wanted to surprise Nina, so he asked Luke not to tell Luca to avoid any accidental slip-ups.

Therefore, Luke knew when Percy would return, but Nina did not.

Luca did not know either because Luke had agreed to keep it a secret as per Percy's request...

"Well, that's good too. It saves Nina from thinking about him in her dreams. She's been eagerly awaiting the return of her loved one." Luca chuckled. Nina was shy, so Luca would not joke like this in her presence.

However, Nina was not here now. Luca was happy at the thought of the couple's reunion, so she could not help but make the joke.

Luke shook his head with a smile on his face.

Tommy asked curiously, "Ms. Luca, what does eagerly awaiting the return of her loved one mean?"

"It's something only adults know. Stop being curious, Tommy," Lanie chimed in as he placed a bowl of soup in front of Tommy. The soup was in an insulated bowl. Even at Lanie’s age, he could handle it without getting burned.

Tommy stuck his tongue out at him and replied, "Something only adults know? I know you know it, but you just won't tell me."

Lanie ignored him and obediently served soup to Luke and Luca while explaining, "If it weren't for Tommy being so noisy, I would've served Daddy and Ms. Luca soup first."

After that, he served a bowl of soup to Rainie before finally putting the last bowl of soup on his spot.

Aunt Neile, who was watching from the side, said, "Young Master Blanche is so thoughtful."

"Yes." Luca nodded. She took a sip of the soup, and her eyes brightened. "Aunt Neile, please save a bowl of this soup for Nina and Mr. Mallory."

"Okay." Aunt Neile nodded. This was the medicinal soup she had prepared according to the recipe given by Luca. It was suitable for everyone, from children to the elderly.

She thought that Luke and Luca must not have eaten well or slept well during their three-day business trip, and they might not have had any nutritious soup there. When she knew they were coming back today, she prepared this medicinal soup.

Luca explained to Luke, "This soup is good for Nina and Mr. Mallory’s health. Speaking of which, Nina has been taking care of her health for some time now. After the wedding is over, they'll be able to have a child."

"In fact, they could start now," remarked Luke. After all, Nina and Luca were of the same age, and Luca was already a mother of three. However, there had been no news from Percy and Nina.

He knew that Percy was never fond of kids. Before he could figure out his own feelings, he never thought about having a child with Nina.

Even if he had thought about it at that time, Nina would definitely not have agreed.

However, things were different now. Percy knew what he wanted and what he liked. He was eager to have a child with Nina.

"Okay." Percy understood what Luca meant by it being good for them and agreed before Nina could respond.

"I'll get it for you." Luca headed to the kitchen. She had asked Aunt Neile to leave early today because she had been tired from helping look after the kids lately.

After dinner was done and everything was tidied up, Luca let Aunt Neile go home.

Luca placed the soup on the table, inviting Nina and Percy to have some.

Nina took a sip and savored the taste. "It's good. I’m surprised there’s no medicinal taste."

"Aunt Neile followed the recipe. As long as you understand the properties of the herbs, the medicinal taste can easily be neutralized. This soup is good for your health. How about I send you the recipe?

"You just need to buy some good quality herbs from the herbal store and drink it once a week," suggested Luca.

Nina suddenly blushed, misunderstanding what Luca meant by the soup being good for their health. "We plan to have a child after the wedding. Didn't you say a few days ago that my body is ready for pregnancy? Why do I still need to improve my health?"

Luca saw Nina’s face reddened and realized she had misunderstood. Luca explained with a smile, "It's not what you think. This soup is good for both children and the elderly. It's just purely beneficial for the body.

"People who are busy with work, those who regularly stay up late, and those who work overtime are the most suitable for drinking this soup."

Nina suddenly realized her mistake. She had misunderstood!

"I see, I..." Nina chuckled awkwardly. She thought there might be something wrong with her body, which was why Luca asked her to improve her health…

It turned out that she was overthinking!

However, it was good as long as her body was fine. "This soup is yummy. Making soup shouldn't be too difficult, right? I just need to put the ingredients according to the recipe's proportions, right? Luca, can you give me the recipe?"
