Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3175

"Why don't you just sit a bit farther away?" Gordan wanted to switch places with Gale. Everyone else had someone helping them with the barbecue except for him and Louis.

Even Gale had Rain as a great partner to help him out.

However, Louis' situation was different. He was single. Louis’ wife and kids could not come because they had other commitments. That was why he was barbecuing alone.

Gale, holding a glass of wine, looked at him cheerfully. "I won't. If you want to switch places with me, why don’t you fight me for it?"

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?!" Gordan, a bit tipsy, felt unusually frustrated with today's barbecue and had no objections to Gale’s suggestion.

Just as Gale was about to stand up, Luke's steady voice interrupted them, "Sit down."

Gale immediately sat down and said, "It's a barbecue. No fighting today."

Gordan sneered, "You're the one who brought it up."

Gale took a sip of his wine, pointed behind him, and reminded him, "There are kids here. Fighting in front of the kids isn’t a good idea. If you keep this up, they'll start calling you the evil uncle."

Gordan followed his gaze and glanced behind him.

There were indeed many kids around. Luke’s three kids, Jason’s two kids, and Jim's...

His gaze then landed on Vivian, and his brows furrowed.

Gale reminded him, "Stop staring. Your meat is burning."

"Damn it!" Gordan turned around and noticed that the charcoal was too hot, causing the meat to burn. He hurriedly took it off the grill.

Gale added, "The other parts aren’t cooked yet. Barbecue tastes best when it’s well done. You can just cut off the burnt bits later."

Gordan put the meat back on the grill, focusing intently on cooking.

Meanwhile, Luca brought the meat she had finished cooking to the kids. Worried they might accidentally touch the grill while playing around, she set up a small table for them to eat at safely.

After she placed the freshly cooked meat on the table, the kids all thanked her, "Thank you, Ms. Craw.”

"Thank you, Ms. Luca.”

The different terms distinguished her own kids from the others.

"Don't just drink the juice. Eat more.” Luca’s eyes were filled with affection as she looked at the kids. The kids loved the juice she made and had already finished a whole jug. She reminded them to have some meat too so that they would not get hungry later. "Otherwise, you’ll be hungry by tonight."

"Got it, Ms. Luca. Don't worry, I'll make sure Tommy and Rainie have some." Lanie, the most mature among them, heard Luca and nodded.

Luca smiled and returned to her seat.

Next to her was Vivian.

Luca watched Vivian grill the meat absentmindedly with a listless expression on her face. She lacked her usual vibrant energy.

Luca asked in a soft voice, "What's wrong?"

Vivian looked up at Luca and then shook her head. "Nothing."

"You seem down. How about you sit across from me? You can swap places with Nina," Luca suggested.

"It’s okay." Vivian forced a smile. Ever since Gordan arrived, her mood had taken a dip.
