Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3380

Luke stood still, waiting as Hera had instructed.

Hera, on the other hand, walked toward the door with a look of eager anticipation on her face.

Gerald stepped forward. “Are you crazy? She told you to wait, and you’re just standing there? Hurry up and go upstairs.”

"Isn't she trying to cause trouble? Do you think I can just walk away from that?" Luke suddenly asked.

Gerald was rendered speechless. What Luke said made sense, so he patted his shoulder. “I heard everything Hera said to you in the garden. Pal, I respect you for being a man, but this time, you’re on your own.”

Luke remained expressionless. His gaze was fixed on Hera, who was now smiling brightly as she linked arms with Abel. Even so, his face betrayed no emotion.

Hera noticed that Luke, just as she had instructed, was standing there without moving. Her irritation flared up.

If he was too stubborn to bow his head and beg for mercy, then she would not hold back!

“Darling, I’ve been so upset today without you around." Hera suddenly began to cry.

A hint of impatience flashed across Abel’s eyes. A crying woman could sometimes be charming. However, when a man was already tired, she should know to stop.

Clearly, Hera did not understand how weary he was.

Listening to her sobs, Abel found himself growing fonder of Kassy, the woman who would never cry over trivial matters. Kassy was the one who held a place in his heart, the one woman who would stand beside him without acting like this.

Even though Abel was irritated, he played along with Hera. “What happened? Who’s been bothering you?”

“Him!” Hera pointed at Luke. “While you were gone, he tried to take advantage of me!”

Before Luke could respond, Gerald took a couple of steps away, quickly distancing himself from the situation. At the same time, he was secretly marveling at how good Hera was at lying with a straight face.

Who would try to take advantage of her...

What a bold lie.

Abel narrowed his eyes and looked toward Luke.

“You?”

“I didn’t.” Luke remained calm, showing no signs of panic.

Hera wiped her tears. “You’re lying. You tried to take advantage of me!”

“What exactly did I do to take advantage of you?” asked Luke.

“In the...” Hera paused for a moment, then continued, “In the bedroom! This morning at around eight o'clock, you went into my room and tried to take advantage of me.”

She was not sure when Abel left, so she made sure to make the time later.

“Really?” Luke pointed at the living room’s surveillance cameras. “There are cameras here, Ms. Sanchez. You might want to think twice before making baseless accusations.”

Abel turned his gaze toward Hera.

Her face turned pale when she heard Luke’s words. “I woke up before 6:00 am and have been on the first floor ever since. The cameras can show my movements. This is the first time I’ve gone upstairs. How could I have gone to the third floor to harass you?”

As Gerald listened to him, he could not help but silently give a thumbs up.

That was impressive.

Even in front of someone as intimidating as the boss, Luke managed to quickly defend himself and clear his name.

“I... I must have remembered it wrong!” Hera looked at Abel with a pitiful expression. “Darling, I was just so scared I got confused. It was him in the garden, around 10:00 am.”

Luke turned to look at Abel.

If Abel sided with Hera, there was nothing he could do.

The garden had too many blind spots in its surveillance.

When Hera confessed her feelings to him there, she had been standing in one of those blind spots.
