Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3445

“I heard from the boss that he's coming because of Vivian.” Gale paused for a moment before adding, “But never mind, you don't seem interested in her affairs anyway. I'm just letting you know he's on his way.”

Gordan frowned. Ray was coming for Vivian?

What could that ugly woman possibly need?

“What do you mean by that?” asked Gordan.

Gale smirked. “If you and Ray meet, that’s bound to end in a fight. And since you can't win against him, you might want to mentally prepare yourself, or better yet, find somewhere else to stay. It’d be safer that way.”

Gordan's expression darkened. “If you have nothing nice to say, just zip it.”

Gale grinned, clearly pleased with himself like he had just hit a sore spot.

Gordan exhaled sharply. “Of all times, why is he coming to A City now? He’s just making things worse.”

“It can't be helped. Vivian's situation is urgent.” Gale covered his mouth mockingly after he said that. “Oh, right. I forgot you don’t like hearing about her.”

Ray wanted to bring Vivian over to see Luca.

Apparently, after returning to Russia, she had developed some medical issues, but none of the hospitals there could figure out what was wrong. Hence, they were coming to A City to seek out Luca.

He believed in her medical skills and that she could diagnose the problem.

“And what about Russia?” Gordan’s frown deepened. He remembered that the entire operation in Russia was orchestrated by Ray himself.

If he left for A City, would that not leave their setup in Russia vulnerable?

The base of the Island of Despair was in Russia!

More importantly, Ray’s presence in A City would definitely draw attention from the Island of Despair.

Everyone was on edge now. One wrong move could trigger a domino effect, upending all their plans. The Island of Despair would undoubtedly adjust its strategy in response.

No matter who it was, the best move right now is to stay put.

“Don't worry too much. Ray discussed it with the boss before coming. Plus, his arrival has an advantage—it'll throw the people from the Island of Despair off,” explained Gale.

“She’s a walking disaster.” A shadow of gloom flickered in Gordan’s eyes. “That woman has spent her entire life being a burden to others!”

Gale knew exactly what kind of resentment Gordan carried with him, so he let it slide without comment.

Gordan continued, “Seriously, why didn’t the boss discuss such an important matter with me beforehand?”

“He knows you can't stand Vivian, so he spared you the headache,” explained Gale, “Besides, even if you oppose it, you can't stop Ray. Your opposition doesn't really matter. Whether the boss tells you or not, the outcome would be the same.”

“It's the same shitty outcome either way,” Gordan could not help but curse. “So why even tell me now?”

“It’s because Ray will be here tomorrow or the day after. At least you have a little heads-up and enough time to run for it.” Gale put on a sly grin.

Annoyed, Gordan flicked his cigarette away.

Gale did not take it personally. He figured Gordan was just in a bad mood at the thought of running into Vivian.

“Anyway, that’s all I had to say. I’m heading upstairs. My darling is waiting for me to text her back.”

“Ugh, stop being so gross,” Gordan scoffed at Gale.

Gale just laughed heartily and headed upstairs, leaving Gordan alone in the living room.

Sitting there, he replayed Gale’s words in his mind, his brows furrowing even tighter.

Why was Ray bringing Vivian to A City? What was going on?

Had she not just returned to Russia?

Now, they wanted Luca’s help? Luca was still at the base. Could she even leave? Asking her to help…

“Vivian is such a pain in the ass.” As Gordan muttered, a wave of annoyance filled his chest, but there was also another emotion lurking beneath the surface. It was one he could not quite put a name to.

It was not just frustration.

However, he could not figure it out at the moment.
