Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 413

Chapter 413 Happy Family On New Year's Day

On New Year's Eve, Luke, Bianca, and the twins sat in front of the television while eating supper.

Luke and Bianca did not eat much at Crawford Manor.

As they ate, Luke and Bianca's phones did not stop vibrating. They were all messages wishing Happy New year, and most of them were copied and pasted.

Bianca's messages were from her good friends, as well as some colleagues and clients.

She replied to every message as a form of courtesy.

Luke, on the other hand, did not bother.

He replied to the messages from several good friends while ignoring those who wanted to flatter him.

It was a simple supper, but the family was happy.

The twins got tired after supper, and they went to bed early.

Luke wanted to carry Bianca to the bedroom. It had been a long day, and Bianca must be tired, not to mention that she was pregnant. However, Bianca insisted that she make a pot pie.

According to her family tradition, the first meal of the new year should be a pot pie. It signified togetherness and good luck.

Luke was not keen on the plan because he did not wish for Bianca to overwork herself. He eventually compromised after Bianca begged him repeatedly.

The two started getting busy again in the kitchen.

The fridge had all the ingredients they needed. Bianca thought of making a meat filling since the twins were carnivores.

Luke offered to do the rough work while Bianca sat on a stool and gave instructions.

Following Bianca's instructions, he washed a piece of pork and beef, turned it into mincemeat with a meat grinder, then added spices as well as chopped spring onions and garlic. After adding salt, oil, and other seasonings, the pie filling was done.

After that, Luke was in charge of making the crust.

No matter how he tried, he could not get the crust flat in the pan. Bianca laughed when she saw the lumpy and misshapen piece of dough.

She did not expect that the capable and talented Luke would be helpless in the kitchen.

In the end, she redid the crust, lined the pan, and sealed the top.

It was already one o'clock when everything was done. They retired to the bedroom.

Bianca's body was cold, but Luke's body was like a raging fire. He hugged her in his arms, and she listened to his steady heartbeat. Even now, she thought that it was all a dream.

She had idolized him when she was younger, and she thought that they would never meet again. However, fate was so unpredictable, and her Prince Charming was not by her side. Nothing else seemed important. 1

At five o'clock in the morning, even before the sky was lit, Bianca was woken up by the crackling sounds of firecrackers.

The A City Council had forbidden firecrackers, but some people set them off in secret. It would not feel like New Year's Day if there were no firecrackers.

Bianca wanted to get up, but Luke hugged her tightly, and she could not move.

Luke was usually an early-riser. It was the first time that he wanted to sleep in on New Year's Day because the woman he loved was in his arms.
