Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 613

Bianca fell asleep on the journey back home, perhaps because too many things had happened today and that her pregnancy was making her sleepy.

Luke drove slowly on the road. After they arrived at Crawford Manor, he picked up Bianca, who was still fast asleep, and carried her into the bedroom.

He met Allison on the second-floor corridor.

She was furious when she saw how her son was carefully carrying Bianca in his arms. "My son, she's so heavy when she's pregnant. Can't you wake her up and get her to walk upstairs herself? Isn't carrying her very tiring?"

Luke was emotionless. He ignored his mother's exhortations and went toward the bedroom.

After placing Bianca on the bed in a comfortable position, he covered her with a blanket, kissed her forehead, and went downstairs.

Allison had nowhere to release her anger.

She could see that her son's face was thinner because of his workload, and so she ladled a hearty bowl of chicken soup for him.

While handing him the bowl, she continued to dress him down. "You're always working, and you don't even take care of yourself. Look at how much weight you've lost. What's so good about that woman anyway? She's not from a wealthy family, she doesn't have any academic qualifications, and her looks are unremarkable. Fine, I can tolerate all that, but she can't even take care of herself. Instead, you have to take care of her. I don't need a daughter-in-law as useless as that."

Luke was about to eat a spoonful of soup, but his mother's words made him lose his appetite.

He placed the bowl heavily on the table and said, "Mother, Bianca usually takes care of me. She's heavily pregnant now, and it's my responsibility as her husband to take care of her. Moreover, the baby in her womb is your grandson. Can't you be a little more sympathetic?"

Allison glared at her son angrily and said abruptly, "I met your Uncle Blatt last night. He just got back to the country not long ago, and his daughter who has been studying overseas is back too. She's an outstanding girl, and I think she's even got a doctorate. She's not only smart, but she has a good character too. Do you remember her? You even made her cry when you were small…"

"How could I forget about her?" Luke answered carelessly.

Allison found a group photo on her phone and pointed to a girl with a sweet smile. "That's her. Her name is Miriam Blatt. She used to be a good-looking girl, and now she's prettier than most celebrities."

Luke glanced at it and looked away. He had seen his fair share of beautiful women, and Miriam was considered average in his eyes. Perhaps one could argue that his heart only belonged to Bianca, and that was why he was not interested in other women.

"She's alright, maybe about the same as Bianca," he replied nonchalantly.

Allison was furious by those words!

"Tell me, Luke, why did I give birth to an ingrate like you? How can Bianca compare to Miriam? If only you'd marry a girl like Miriam, I…"

Luke was not interested in his mother's babbling. He placed the half-eaten bowl of soup on the table and said, "I'm going to look for Grandfather. When I was on the way back, Grandfather asked me to look for him."

Allison narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Your grandfather is in the backyard pruning the bushes. Why is he looking for you?"

Luke did not answer her. He stood up and walked toward the backyard.

Allison looked at her son's back and sighed heavily. Why did she give birth to a son that made her constantly worry?
