Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3257

“Even if it were still around, I wouldn't want you to wear it after that woman has had it on.” Luke added, “I’ll have a big surprise for you on the day our family has reunited.”

He meant his words.

He had been surveying rings.

“What about all those other pieces of jewelry?” asked Luca, referring to the many pieces Luke had given her.

She had kept them all together, and if the impostor Bianca could get her wedding ring, the others must have been touched by her too.

Just thinking about those things being handled by such a woman, Luca felt the same as Luke. She would not want to wear them again.

Luke said, “They’re all yours. Do whatever you want with them.”

“How about we hold a small auction for them and donate the proceeds to the welfare home?” suggested Luca. The welfare home she had in mind was the one that had taken in Luke before.

“Sure, it’s up to you,” Luke agreed. He had no objections and thought it was a good deed.

Once the issues with the Island of Despair were resolved, he planned to hold a press conference to clear up everything.

He would not let Luca suffer any injustice.

Even though they were together, he wanted everyone to know Luca's true identity was Bianca.

She did not climb to the top by being someone’s mistress.

He did not cheat on his wife either.

After the clarification, they would auction off the items, and all the money would go to the welfare home. This way, Luca would also gain a good reputation.

Luke thought it was a brilliant idea.

After confirming that Marcos and Ethan had left the following day, Luca took the jewelry box and Marcos’ handwritten letter to Sarah’s home. It was an unexpected visit, so she had not given Sarah any notice.

Sarah was a bit surprised to see her.

“Ms. Craw, what brings you here?”

“I came to visit,” replied Luca.

“Please come in.” Sarah welcomed her inside.

The maid brought a glass of water. When they had settled, the maid said, “Ms. Poplar, I’m going to the supermarket. I need to buy groceries for tonight.”

“Sure. By the way, Ms. Craw, why don’t you stay for dinner tonight?” Sarah invited her to stay for the evening meal.

Luca shook her head and declined, “No, I have other things to do later, so I won’t be staying.”

“Alright then.” Sarah did not press further once she heard Luca had other plans.

After the maid left, Luca took out a jewelry box from her briefcase.

“This is…” Sarah looked at her in confusion.

“This is something Marcos asked me to give you. Please take a look,” said Luca, also pulling out the handwritten letter.

Sarah took it and, without opening the jewelry box first, read the letter. Her eyes were filled with tears as she read it.

“Silly child!” Sarah opened the jewelry box and saw the ring. Tears began to stream down her face.

Luca quickly handed her a tissue, saying, “Ms. Poplar, don’t cry. This ring means so much to Mr. Marcos. It's been a significant part of his life for over 20 years.”

Sarah nodded, understanding the ring’s importance to Marcos. It was the only thing he could hold onto when he missed them.

“When Marcos was little, I told him the story of this ring…” Sarah gently touched the ring’s gemstone, her touch tender and loving.

After Luca finished her conversation with her, she left.

Instead of returning to Watson, she went straight home.

As soon as she parked in front of the house, Luca received a call with a string of numbers.

Her heart sank.

It had been a while since Abel had contacted her.

The longer the silence, the more uneasy she felt. When someone who had been quiet suddenly appeared, it usually meant something big was about to happen.

Luca was nervous.

“Ms. Craw, aren’t you going to answer the call?” Warren noticed her hesitation. The phone had been ringing for a while without being answered, so he reminded her.

“Don’t speak. It’s someone from the other side,” replied Luca.

Warren became serious. He took his phone out to record and said, “Please put it on speaker.”

Luca nodded, answered the call, and turned on the speaker.

“Who’s this?”

On the other end of the line, Abel’s cold voice came through. “Why did it take you so long to answer?”

“My phone was on silent. Mr. Abel, do you need something?” Luca did not want to listen to Abel’s lecture and just wanted to know the reason for his call.

“Of course. I have something to discuss with you,” replied Abel.

“Oh? What is it?” Luca glanced at Warren, who was holding his phone, indicating that it was recording.
