Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3171

"Why is there so much food? Are you preparing for a grand party?" Nina could not help but ask. She then immediately denied it.

A grand party could not possibly be in the form of a barbecue.

"Luca, how many people did you invite? Should I go home and change into something else?" asked Nina. She wore a shirt and jeans today, thinking it was just a private gathering where comfort mattered most.

However, she did not expect Luca to prepare so much food. She wondered if many people were going to attend later.

Previously, Nina would not have cared about these things. It was fine as long as she was comfortable.

Yet, things were different now. She and Percy had already registered their marriage, and this matter had spread in their social circle. That was why she could not just act according to her own whim.

She had to consider Percy's reputation.

Every move she made and every word she said now represented Percy.

"No need. This is fine. Look, I'm dressed casually too. It's just some friends gathering together. It's not a big party. Almost everyone here is someone you know." Luca shook her head.

"Oh, that's alright, then. I take back what I said earlier. I'll just try to eat as much as I can. There's so much. I can't possibly finish it all." Nina returned to the couch and sat down.

Aunt Neile brought over a teacup and said, "Mrs. Mallory, you must promise to eat more. The ingredients were all marinated by Ms. Craw. They taste really good."

"I'll do my best." Nina awkwardly smiled. She looked at Lanie and then pursed her lips.

This child…

She thought he would be as reserved as Luke, but she did not expect him to have a bit of a mischievous side. He was intentionally trying to make fun of her, huh?

Lanie shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said to Luca, "Ms. Luca, I'm going upstairs to read for a while."

"Sure, go ahead." Luca nodded. Their conversation was not particularly interesting to the children, so she did not stop Lanie from going upstairs.

Tommy and Rainie also said, "Ms. Luca, we're going upstairs too. If you need any help, just let us know."

"You two hurry upstairs and play around. There are so many adults here. There's nothing you need to help with." Nina chuckled. She pondered for a moment and sent a message to Percy, telling him to buy some more fruits when he came later.

She felt like she had not bought enough.

Percy replied to her message shortly after: [How much should I buy?]

[Get a crate and buy whatever you find nice.] When Nina remembered that Percy did not usually shop for these things, she reminded him: [Make sure they're in season. Don't get ripped off by the supermarket staff.]

[Got it. Don't worry, your husband isn't that easily fooled.]

Nina smiled sweetly and put her phone away.

Luca poured her a cup of flower tea and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Mallory come with you?"

"He said he has some work matters to handle, so I came by cab first, thinking I'd come to help. But it turns out I'm not needed at all," replied Nina.

Luca pursed her lips and smiled. Indeed, there was nothing for her to do.

She had already taken care of everything.

"If you really want to help, you can help with starting the fire later, okay?" Luca teased her.

To ensure good taste, Luca did not choose to use an electric grill. Instead, she would be using a charcoal grill, so they needed to light the charcoal later.
