Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3281

Rainie said, “Daddy definitely won't scold you. He'll probably praise you instead!”

Lanie shook his head and replied, “I don’t want Dad to know. It’s fine if you guys know.”

Tommy chimed in, “Lanie just wants to act all cool in front of Daddy. No, wait, he actually wants to be as cool as Daddy! But being that cool isn’t a good thing. Now, none of the girls are brave enough to give him love letters.”

Rainie nodded in agreement with her younger brother, “Yeah! They think he’s too cool, so they don’t give him the letters. Instead, they give them to me and ask me to pass on the letters to him! Lanie, it’s really stressing me out!”

Luca could not help but laugh when she heard this. “Really?”

“Yeah, they stuff all the letters meant for him into my hands!”

Lanie added, “Not all of them are for me. Half of them are for you. Don’t worry, this won’t last long.”

“That’s right. Once you skip grade, no one will know I’m your sister anymore, and they won’t give me any more love letters. You won’t have to deal with them either because those older girls don’t like boys like you!”

Rainie was excited at the thought that after this summer, she would not be in the same grade as Lanie anymore. There was not even a hint of disappointment in her voice.

Luca laughed even more as she listened to the kids’ conversation.

She had been worried that Rainie might not adjust to school without Lanie by her side, but it seemed like she was happy about it.

It made sense. Having a genius brother had to put some pressure on her.

All she wanted was to enjoy school and learn what she needed, without any extra stress.

“People as outstanding as me are always popular, no matter where we go,” Lanie suddenly announced.

Luca could not help but laugh again. It seemed her eldest son had a side she was not aware of.

This little bit of vanity was definitely something he got from his father.

As Luca smiled, she noticed a waiter passing by and grabbed some juice for the kids.

“Drink up and stay hydrated. Do you want any more desserts?” asked Luca.

“No thanks, Ms. Luca. I’m stuffed!” Tommy replied with a chuckle, patting his round belly.

“Okay, have some water,” replied Luca as she handed Tommy a glass of water from the waiter.

Tommy took a small sip, and his eyes lit up when he spotted Luke approaching. “Daddy’s here!”

Luca looked in the direction he was pointing. Luke had made his way through the crowd. He sat down next to them.

Since there were no reporters around and they were surrounded by upper-class people who would not say anything, Luke did not hold back. He picked up the juice in front of Luca, took a sip, and frowned. “It’s too sweet.”

“It’s grape juice. It’s supposed to be sweet,” replied Luca. She handed Luke the glass of water Lanie had been drinking. “Here, have this. It’s spring water."

“Thanks.” Luke drank the entire glass.

Lanie noticed and asked, “Daddy, were you really thirsty?”

Luke nodded. “Yeah, I was.”

Earlier, he was surrounded by a crowd, with each person holding a glass of wine. They were all trying to make conversation with him.

He was holding a glass of wine too, but he did not really drink much. Day drinking did not seem appropriate, and all that talking had made him thirsty. He did not believe alcohol could actually quench thirst.

“Let me go grab you another glass of water,” suggested Lanie as he walked over to the water station.

Rainie scooted up next to Luke and smiled brightly. “Daddy, I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?” Luke looked at his daughter, his curiosity piqued.
