Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3337

The next morning, Luca went downstairs but did not see Allison.

She figured Allison might still be adjusting to the time difference, which was normal.

After all, Allison loved to sleep in, and Luca recalled her habits from their time at Crawford Manor.

Old Master Crawford usually turned a blind eye to Allison’s late mornings. As long as there were no major issues at home, he would not worry about how late Allison got up. Everyone usually had breakfast at their own pace.

“Good morning, Ms. Craw!” Aunt Neile greeted her cheerfully as she came down.

“Good morning, Aunt Neile.” Luca rubbed her eyes. “How’s your back today?”

“Thanks to your massage yesterday, I feel much better,” Aunt Neile answered with a smile. Previously, if she had injured herself, she would often be unable to sleep at night due to the pain.

She expected last night to be the same, even with Luca's help. To her surprise, however, she fell asleep almost as soon as she lay down.

She slept very soundly.

“My grandson slept with me last night, and when he woke up, he told me that I slept so well and I fell asleep so early. I thought about it, and I guess I really did fall asleep early. I didn’t feel any pain. I was just a bit tired, and I was able to have a good sleep. Ms. Craw, does your massage improve sleep quality?”

“Yes. When I was massaging you yesterday, I focused on some acupoints that promote sleep because I was worried about your discomfort,” explained Luca.

As people aged, their sleep quality would often decline, especially when they were in pain. That was why Luca paid extra attention to those points while massaging Aunt Neile.

“Oh my gosh, naturopathy treatment is so amazing! Ms. Craw, where did you press? I’d like to learn too!” said Aunt Neile, admiring her while preparing breakfast.

Luca shook her head with a smile. “Ordinary people can’t really press those points.”

The points she referred to were specific to a different style of acupuncture and were not the same as those taught in conventional naturopathy.

The acupoints were located quite deep, and without proper training, it would be difficult for someone to locate them accurately.

“Is that so? Hehe, then I won’t learn it,” Aunt Neile replied without feeling put off.

She understood Luca's abilities and character, and she did not think Luca was being evasive. She understood that the technique had a certain level of difficulty and was hard to master. That was why Luca did not teach her.

Otherwise, why would Luca be a professor while she was just a maid? There was always going to be a difference.

Aunt Neile was quite open-minded about it.

“Aunt Neile, you need to save some breakfast for Madam Allison. She’s adjusting to the time difference and will tend to wake up late,” Luca reminded her.

Aunt Neile nodded and replied with a smile on her face, “I’ll set some aside, but honestly, I don’t think it’s necessary. Even without the time difference, knowing how much Madam Allison likes to lounge around, she probably wouldn’t be up until noon.”

Having worked for the Crawford family for so many years, she knew Allison’s habits all too well.

Luca exclaimed, “You know her well.”

Aunt Neile chuckled. “After all these years, I’ve kept track of what everyone in the Crawford family likes and dislikes. But don’t worry, I’ve prepared breakfast for Madam Allison, so if she wakes up hungry, she’ll have something to eat.”

“Great.” Luca saw that Aunt Neile had already prepared breakfast for her and Luke, so she brought it to the table.

Just then, Luke came downstairs.

Luca said, “Time for breakfast.”

“Okay,” Luke’s eyes were gentle.

They sat down together to eat.

Without the kids around making a fuss, Luca felt a bit out of place. She glanced at the kids' usual seats, lost in thought.

Luke noticed and asked, “Missing the kids?”

“Yes, they usually make a lot of noise at the table. Now that they’re at Crawford Manor, it feels a lot quieter here.”
