Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3184

"Thank you so much, Aunt Neile. I'll be in the study for a while. Could you please call me at 11:00 am?" Luca was worried about getting too absorbed in her research and forgetting the time.

They were planning to have tacos for lunch. The preparation required her attention. She needed an extra hour to get everything ready.

"Sure, I got it." Aunt Neile nodded. Then, she heard Luca add, "Oh, by the way, I ordered some groceries online and left the home phone number. Could you please keep an eye on the phone later? They can't deliver to our house, so I'll need you to fetch them."

"No problem, I'll take care of it," replied Aunt Neile as she placed the plates on a tray.

Other than a bit of leftovers left on Luke's plate, there was hardly anything left on the other three plates.

It was evident that Luca's toasts were delicious and exactly to their liking.

After Luca came upstairs, she passed by Luke's bedroom, which he used as an office. The door was closed. Knowing their conversation required privacy, she did not knock but instead opened the doors to the three kids' rooms.

They were already up and busy getting ready in the bathroom.

Luca gave them instructions, telling them that Luke was busy and to come downstairs after they finished getting ready so as to not disturb his work.

The kids obediently listened to her and told her that they understood.

After that, Luca finally entered the study.

She closed the door behind her, ready to delve into her herbal studies.

…

On the other hand, after two days of waiting, Abel finally summoned Amur.

He hurried to the headquarters to meet him.

Abel was sitting on the couch, smoking a cigar and toying with a glass. The liquid inside was as red as blood.

"Boss," Amur greeted Abel respectfully.

Abel lazily flicked the ash from his cigar and asked, "Any unusual activities in A City recently?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary," replied Amur. Even though he still took on missions, he was now a permanent staff at the headquarters.

As one of the permanent staff, his task was to monitor any abnormalities in the city where the headquarters was located.

Meanwhile, Luke remained one of the main targets under observation at their headquarters.

However, Abel never instructed him to observe Luke and others like him directly. It was mainly because of Luca.

Due to her close relationship with Amur, Abel had to be cautious. He never assigned Amur tasks related to Luke, fearing Amur might reveal something to Luca.

Moreover, whenever the headquarters carried out tasks related to Luke, Amur was kept in the dark. This was Abel's directive, and they simply executed it.

"Nothing unusual?" Abel's voice rose slightly, sounding disapproving. "Amur, are you holding back, or do you truly not know?”

"If I haven't found anything, Boss. You can just assume I'm in the dark about it,” replied Amur. He had not hidden anything else apart from Luca’s matters.

Nevertheless, he might not necessarily know everything about Luca.

On the contrary, those tasked with monitoring Luke and Luca might be more aware of Luca's affairs than he was.

"Hmph!" Abel snorted. "I'll give you one more chance to be honest."

"I have nothing to report," insisted Amur.

Abel suddenly burst into laughter, rising from his seat at the same time and patting Amur's shoulder.

Amur looked at him in surprise.

Abel withdrew his hand and stood by the window. It was a residential building with a narrow and dirty street below. Hardly anyone passed through except for a few bold shortcut-takers.

Such houses were perfect for them to use as bases.
