Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3353

At the same time, a wave of frustration rose in Luca's heart.

She thought about how Sophian might be eavesdropping on them during their rest time, standing by the door anytime, anywhere. The thought made her feel uneasy, as though she were being watched by Abel. No matter how she thought about it, something just did not sit right.

Luca asked in a soft voice, “Do you think it’s possible that Sophian is working for Abel?”

Luke paused for a moment. He had no reason to doubt Sophian’s background as Old Master Crawford had investigated her, and everything checked out. However, people like Abel could easily fabricate a perfect cover story if they wanted to.

Luke opened the bedroom door. By now, Sophian was no longer standing outside. He closed the door again and locked it. “I’m not sure, but if we have doubts, we need to be cautious.”

Luca frowned, her expression showing clear concern. “If she were just an ordinary person, that’d be fine. But if she’s with Abel, that’d be terrifying.”

If Abel had someone planted around Allison, there was a high probability that he had others placed around them as well.

These people appeared to be ordinary, and unless they were exposed, she and Luke could live their entire lives without anyone suspecting anything.

A chill ran down Luca’s spine at the thought of it, and she hurriedly grabbed Luke’s phone.

“What’s wrong?” asked Luke, noticing her anxiety.

“I’m really scared. Please check if there are any surveillance or listening devices on the second floor.” Luca handed him the phone.

Luke was about to reassure her that Sophian was not capable of such things, but he decided to follow her wishes and opened the detection app.

Luca turned off her own phone, afraid it might interfere with the scan.

Luke expanded the detection range to cover the entire second floor but found no signs of surveillance equipment.

Luca let out a sigh of relief. “Good, there’s nothing.”

She was afraid that Sophian might have installed cameras or listening devices around the house.

“Don’t worry. I’ll check every night from now on.” Luke knew her concerns.

Luca nodded and went to rest with him.

…

Downstairs, Sophian lay on the bed, tossing and turning. She was unable to sleep.

She thought of the tenderness Luke showed Luca, then contrasted it with his cold attitude toward her. It made her stomach churn with frustration.

“Why?” Sophian muttered to herself. “What makes her better than me? Why is he ignoring me like this?”

No one answered her in the darkness.

…

The following day, Sophian woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. She turned it off and tried to roll over and sleep a little longer.

Sophian did not know how much time passed, but she suddenly opened her eyes and remembered that she was now a maid at the Crawford family’s house. She had to get up early to make breakfast for Luke!

“Oh no!” Sophian sat up and glanced at the time. She immediately got dressed and washed up. As she was leaving the maid’s room, she ran into Luke and Luca coming downstairs.

The two of them were walking side-by-side, chatting and laughing. The moment they saw her, their conversation abruptly stopped.

Sophian wanted nothing more than to pull them apart.

However, she dared not to do that. Instead, she put on an expression as though she had been greatly wronged and said in a soft voice, “Mr. Crawford, you’re up. Please wait a moment, I’ll make breakfast for you.”

Luke’s expression was serious. “It’s this late and breakfast still isn’t ready?”

“I just started working yesterday. I’m not used to it yet, but I’ll make it now.” Sophian thought with excitement as she hurried into the kitchen to prepare. The thought of Luke having the breakfast she made made her heart flutter.

Luca looked at Luke, who simply took her hand and led her away.

Sophian was so focused on preparing breakfast that she did not even notice them leaving. When she brought the meal to the dining room, there was no one there. She froze for a moment.

Then, she walked to the living room, but there was still no one.
