Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 56

“I did not…” Bianca’s first reaction was to deny it.

“You dare lie to my face? If you didn’t, who was the person lurking behind the walls whenever she had a free period looking out at the playground of the high school next door foolishly?” Claudia talked about the past without restraint.

Bianca still remembered her high school experience.

She had always stared foolishly at beautiful sceneries and people for long periods. When she was in middle school, the person she had stared at the most was upperclassman Crawford from the high school next door.

Claudia assumed that Bianca was perhaps embarrassed now, so she continued, “He was finer than a frog’s hair! And cute as a bug! Who wouldn’t have a crush on him? Is there anything to be embarrassed about?”

Bianca coughed, and her face started to burn up.

Subconsciously, upperclassman Crawford’s face in her mind had morphed into Luke Crawford’s.

It was said that Luke also had a brother named Louis, and the two brothers had similarities in terms of appearance. Bianca had never seen Louis in person, though.

If Louis was perhaps the upperclassman Crawford but Luke was the one continually lingering in her mind, it would be the most significant misunderstanding...

Bianca stubbornly retorted, “What are you saying, what crush? I was only 14 years old…”

“So what if you’re 14, be a little more open-minded. Didn’t you know that there were people that got into relationships early in our school? These things were everywhere, okay? A Year 1 Senior even had an abortion. My mother’s a teacher, so I hear a lot of these things at home…” Claudia said affirmatively. “It was your first real crush, and you were just too shy to notice it.”

Bianca was utterly speechless.

“The address of the party had changed, so I’ll send the address to you later. Got to go now. I still have to notify the others!” Claudia finished her sentences and hung up.

Bianca put her phone down, and her whole body felt dispirited.

She had been wondering whether upperclassman Crawford would show up, and now Claudia had clearly informed her that he would be present…

Every girl at that age would have at least one crush, and even if Bianca refused to admit it out loud, she knew what it was very well.

She shook her head and did not want to be immersed in her thoughts any longer.

Even if she happened to bump into upperclassman Crawford, they would probably meet eyes and nod at each other for a second. It was a huge school ground, and there were so many girls who admired him in the past. She was just the unnoticeable one who hid behind the junior high wall and the most inconspicuous.

After gathering her thoughts, Bianca resumed her work.

…

Inside an ordinary Chinese restaurant outside the City Center Fourth Ring road.

Allison Tanner was starting to lose count of how many cups of tea she had drunk. Almost half of the pot was empty before Kevin Rayne finally showed up.

Kevin opened the private room door and entered it.

The waiter went in as well and placed the menu inside. “What would the two of you be having today?”

Allison was about to say that they were not ordering before Kevin picked up the menu and ordered three dishes, a soup, two bowls of rice, and a bottle of chilled Coke.

The waiter responded, “Please wait a moment,” before heading out of the room.

Allison grew irritated by looking at the filthy dining environment. She restrained her voice before pointing at the watch and asked him, “Can’t you see what time it is? You can’t afford to waste my time, Kevin Rayne!”
