Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3432

“Oh? What made you so happy? Spill the tea.” Hera’s curiosity grew. Whatever it was that had Abel smiling like this had to be something big.

The last time she was with him, he had closed a billion-dollar deal over the phone, but his expression had remained indifferent. It was like it was just another ordinary day at the office.

However, he was currently grinning from ear to ear. Could it be something even bigger than that?

Abel set down his unlit cigar. His fingers lightly traced along Hera’s cheek before resting on her eyes.

“Your eyes… They’re beautiful,” murmured Abel.

It was not the first time he had complimented her eyes.

Hera had gone for the perfect foxy-type eyes, and every man she met would gush over how stunning they were.

However, Abel was different. Other men would say her eyes were beautiful and then follow it up with praise for her face, her figure… The whole package.

Yet Abel? He never mentioned anything else but just her eyes. It was as if her face and other parts of her body were not as beautiful as her eyes.

Hera was confident in her looks. Nonetheless, Abel had never once complimented her face or her figure.

Now that she thought about it, something about that felt off. It was strange in a way she could not quite put into words. Instinctively, she glanced at Luca.

Luca was standing quietly with her eyes lowered.

“What are you looking at?” Abel’s sharp eyes caught the subtle movement.

Hera came back to her senses and smiled. “Nothing. It’s just that you’ve always complimented my eyes but never anything else. Are they really that beautiful? Feels like you’re not even being serious anymore.”

“They’re really beautiful. They remind me of someone I used to know.” Abel’s voice dropped into a low murmur.

Hera blinked her eyes. The blue of her contact lenses shimmered like the ocean.

Abel stared into them, completely captivated.

When Hera heard him say that, she could not help but feel an uncomfortable pang in her chest. She knew that even though the friend he was referring to had to be a woman, she had no reason to feel jealous.

Even so, a strange, tight feeling pressed against her chest. Unconsciously, Hera placed a hand over her heart.

“What’s wrong?” Abel immediately noticed her movement.

Hera explained, “Maybe it’s the heat. I’ve been feeling a little off all day. Oh, right. I went out earlier. Maybe I’m just overheating from that.”

“You had no reason to go out. What were you doing?” Abel felt a little nervous when he heard she was not feeling well.

“I just wanted to buy something,” Hera replied casually, “And I happened to see Luca going out too, so I followed her for a bit. But then…” Hera trailed off, deliberately leaving her words hanging.

Abel’s sharp eyes immediately locked onto Luca. “Where did you go?”

“I went shopping,” Luca answered calmly.

“What did you buy?” Abel pressed.

“Women’s essentials. I also picked up a few things for Gerald. If you don’t believe me, I still have the receipt. Gerald can vouch for me too,” replied Luca. Gale had been meticulous. He made sure to keep the grocery receipt that had a precise timestamp.
