Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3412

Luca walked over to another couch and sat down. “I think I’ll stay here. How about letting Luke come down so that we can all catch up? It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”

Gordan’s face fell. “Ms. Craw, are you doing this on purpose?”

Luca pretended not to know anything. “Doing what on purpose?”

Gordan quickly shook his head. “Nothing. Just go upstairs already. Brother Luke’s been waiting for you.”

Luca had intended to tease Gordan a little longer, but after not seeing Luke for the past few days, she found herself missing him deeply. Standing up with a smile, she said, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Oh, by the way, Mr. Gale, could you help me pick up a few things? Someone over there asked me to get them, and I couldn’t refuse.”

“Sure, no problem. What do you need?” Gale agreed immediately.

After handing him the list, Luca turned and headed upstairs.

Gale watched Luca leave from behind, nudging Gordan’s arm. “Let’s go. We should leave and give the boss and Ms. Craw some privacy.”

“Man, my life is rough. Not only am I single, but now, I have to endure their lovey-dovey moments. As if that’s not bad enough, I even have to clear out to give them space,” exclaimed Gordan as he stood up reluctantly.

Gale left with him. When he heard what Gordan said, he mocked, “Didn’t you used to say you dreamed of being single? And come on, the boss and Ms. Craw haven’t seen each other in forever. Can’t you just let them have a little time together?”

Gordan clicked his tongue. “I’m just saying. Don’t take it so seriously.”

“If you’re feeling lonely, finish up your work and find someone already. Stop making excuses about being traumatized by your time with Vivian. You say you’re not looking for anyone, but then you turn around and get jealous of other couples. At this rate, I’m starting to think you’re not over Vivian.” Gale’s sharp tongue struck again.

He called it like he saw it and was not afraid to say it.

“That’s enough!” Gordan’s expression darkened. When he was about to defend himself, Gale cut him off.

“Alright, aright, I get it. You’re not into Vivian. But the more you deny it, the harder it is to believe you.”

Gordan snorted haughtily. “Hmph. Believe it or not, it's up to you.”

“Ugh. Why are you acting so much like a woman? All arrogant and pouty. It’s disgusting.” This time, it was Gale’s turn to shudder. He rubbed his arms as he muttered how utterly gross Gordan was acting.

“Come on, buddy. Don’t you like me like this?” Gordan leaned into the joke, trying to gross Gale out even more.

“Knock it off, Gordan. Act normal, or people might think you’ve been knocked on the head or something!” Gale quipped, laughing as they playfully bickered on their way out of the villa.

Luca arrived on the second floor and pushed open the door to the master bedroom. Luke was seated at the vanity table, focused on work.

Luke looked up when the door was opened. His gaze was soft and warm. “You’re here.”

“Yes.” Luca walked over to him and asked him in a soft voice, “Still busy with work?”

“It's nothing important.” Luke saved his documents, shut down the computer, and pulled her into his arms. He held her tightly, as though he was trying to ease the ache of the past four years. Only after a long moment did he ask, “Was everything alright when you left?”

“It went smoothly enough. I got rid of her by heading toward the ancestral hall,” replied Luca.

Luke nodded, leaned in, and gently kissed her on her cheek.

“You’ve been through a lot during this time.” His kisses rained down on her, gentle and unhurried, each one laced with the unspoken ache in his words.

A warmth spread through Luca’s chest. “It hasn’t been that hard. As long as we can reunite as a family in the end, everything I’ve endured will be worth it.”

“Luca, everything is almost ready. As soon as he makes his move, we’ll act too. The day our family can be together again is not far off,” said Luke as he gently caressed her cheek.
