Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3318

The blender roared to life as it whirred away.

In no time, Vivian had turned all the fruits into juice, and Luca mixed it with cream before putting it in the fridge to chill.

“Why don't we sit in the living room for a bit?” invited Luca.

Vivian shook her head. “Something came up, and I need to get back to finish some assignments. I should head out now. Sorry for bothering you today.”

Luca gently linked arms with her. “Let me walk you out.”

“It’s okay. It's too hot outside, and I already called a ride online. You should stay here and spend time with the kids,” replied Vivian. She had spent the day with Lanie and Rainie, and they had talked a lot about Luca.

She could not help but marvel at how much the kids really adored Luca.

She did not want to trouble Luca and preferred to let her spend more time with the kids.

“Okay, just be careful on your way back, and call me when you get to the campus,” said Luca as she walked Vivian to the door.

“Will do. Bye!” Vivian waved as she left.

Luca waved back and headed into the living room.

Tommy toddled over on his little legs, then wrapped his arms around Luca and asked, “Ms. Luca, is the ice cream ready yet?”

“Already craving it?” Luca smiled, ruffling his short hair.

“Yes, I really want some!” Tommy blinked his big round eyes, which sparkled like grapes, sending a clear message of how eager he was.

Luca chuckled. “It's ready, but you can't eat it yet.”

“Huh? Why not?” Tommy was confused.

“It’s because ice cream has to freeze first, silly Tommy!” Rainie chimed in, having overheard their conversation. She explained it to him.

Tommy suddenly understood. “Oh, I get it now!”

“I'm really craving it,” added Tommy.

“How about some juice instead? Freshly made.” Luca realized the child had not had any water since he came back from his competition. She gently touched his damp hair.

“Yes, please!” Tommy's eyes lit up. Even though the juice Luca made did not have any of the additives one would find in store-bought ones, he loved it.

It tasted like a mom's special touch!

Luca turned to Lanie and Rainie. “Do you guys want some juice too? It’s been chilling for a bit.”

She never let the kids drink anything too cold, knowing it could upset their stomachs. The juice was just the right temperature. It was cool but not too cold, making it comfortable to drink.

“Yes!” Lanie and Rainie both replied.

Luca let go of Tommy and went into the kitchen to pour three glasses of juice for the kids.

They each picked their favorite and sat on the couch, sipping while reading their books.

Aunt Neile came downstairs after finishing her cleaning and asked, “Ms. Craw, I heard that Mr. Crawford’s mother is coming back to the country, and she’ll be staying here, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.” Luca nodded. “But I’m not sure exactly when she’s arriving. I imagine it won’t be long till we learn the date.”

“When she comes, will she stay in the guest room, or will she take over Mr. Crawford’s current bedroom?” asked Aunt Neile. She had not asked Luke about it, assuming Luca had the authority to decide.

Luca was about to suggest that Luke’s study, which was technically a second bedroom, could be used for Allison’s bedroom.
