Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3326

Luke was startled for a moment, feeling as though history was repeating itself.

Luca covered her mouth, laughing so hard she could barely catch her breath. Everything felt too coincidental. Suddenly, Luca recalled that there was this saying, a son could be a father’s nemesis.

Tommy had interrupted them twice today.

Luke’s expression turned dark as he turned around to look at his son. “Why aren’t you in bed? What are you doing out here?”

“Daddy, I just finished washing up. I really want a glass of water.” Tommy then added, “The food at Crawford Manor was a bit salty this time, and I’m really thirsty.”

“I’ll get you some water,” said Luca as she headed downstairs.

Luke approached Tommy, looking down at him from above.

Realizing he had spoiled his parents’ moment, Tommy gave a sheepish smile. “Daddy, I didn’t mean to.”

“From now on, make sure to get yourself a glass of water before bed and keep it in the bedroom. No more running out for water all the time,” Luke said to his son with a serious expression.

“Daddy, I really am thirsty,” Tommy replied with a charming smile. “Oh, I promise I’ll go to bed right after I drink this. I won’t disturb you and Ms. Luca anymore.”

After that, he playfully stuck out his tongue.

“Let this be the last time. Make sure you have the water ready before bed,” added Luke, remembering this was already the second time.

He suspected that his son had been eavesdropping at the door and came out intentionally when he heard something. However, that was just Luke's suspicion. He had no concrete evidence.

Luca brought a glass of water upstairs and saw the father and son standing at the top of the stairs. Luke was looking down at Tommy, while Tommy was looking up at Luke.

It was like a negotiation, and she did not even need to guess what Luke had told Tommy.

She smiled and squatted down in front of Tommy. “Here, drink some water.”

“Thank you, Ms. Luca!” Tommy took the glass and gulped it down.

Luca exchanged a glance with Luke. It was clear the boy was really thirsty.

After finishing most of the water, Tommy said, “Daddy, Ms. Luca, I’m going to bed now. Goodnight!”

“Goodnight,” Luca replied with a gentle smile.

Luke watched as Tommy carried the glass into his bedroom and calmly said, “Looks like the kid was really thirsty.”

“Do you think he’d lie?” Luca asked with a smile on her face.

Luke thought about how Tommy had lied the last time.

However, since he had promised not to tell her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and walked into the bedroom. “Luca, just getting one moment of romance has become such a difficult task."

Luca’s face instantly flushed red, and she gently punched his shoulder. However, she did not hit him too hard.

Soon, the lovers were lost in each other's embrace.

…

In the Maldives, Nina and Percy had just finished dinner and were strolling along the beach.

The sea breeze blew gently. She narrowed her eyes, feeling a pleasant sense of relaxation wash over her. Her heart felt calm and at peace. This was her second visit to the Maldives, but her mindset was completely different from the first time.

“It’s so nice here,” Nina wrapped her arm around Percy’s and exclaimed in a soft voice.

“Yeah, if you like it, we can come here every year for vacation,” replied Percy. He had no real concept of vacation. He could easily work year-round, every single day.

However, if Nina liked this place, he would make time to accompany her.

For him, it did not matter where they went. What mattered the most was having Nina by his side.

“That would get boring! Once you have some free time, let’s try to explore other places too. We can leave our mark everywhere we go.” Nina rested her head gently on his shoulder.

“Okay, whatever you say.” Percy leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead. “From now on, we’ll vacation every year, and each time, we’ll go somewhere new. You choose the destination, and I’ll take you there.”

“Yes.” Percy nodded.

He was not fond of talking to strangers, but the people they encountered this time seemed friendly, so he felt comfortable chatting a bit.

“Congratulations!” said the tourist. Then, he lifted his camera. “I’m a photographer, and I came to the Maldives to work on my creative project. Here’s my business card.”

As he handed his card to Percy and Nina, he added, “The theme of my project is love. I think you two have a great vibe, and you two look so in love. Would you let me take a few photos of you?

“We can do it right here on this beach? It won’t take up too much of your time, I promise,” the photographer reassured them, worried they might decline.

Nina turned to look at Percy. He was looking back at her. “Would you like to?”

“I do,” Nina said. They loved each other, so why not let the photographer capture this moment?

Percy replied, “Sure.”

“Great! Just be yourselves and do some little things together. I’ll just capture the moments as they happen.” The photographer emphasized the importance of authenticity, so there would be no complex lighting setups like in a studio.

The natural beauty around them was the most stunning sight.

Percy turned slightly and cradled Nina's face in his hands.

“Hmm?” She suddenly realized what he was about to do and felt her cheeks flush.

Nina wanted to tell him that there was someone taking photos of them. Percy did not wait for her to speak, though. He leaned down and kissed her deeply.

“Wow, that’s beautiful!” exclaimed the photographer, snapping shots from various angles.

He had seen many couples, but this newlywed pair was undeniably in love.

The photographer kept clicking the shutter.

Once the kiss ended, Nina breathed heavily, her gaze fixed on Percy. While a flicker of annoyance danced in her eyes, it was overshadowed by a deeper, more profound love.
