Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 855

Bianca returned to her house unhappily with the pieces of the broken inkwell in her hand.

The caretaker noticed her from afar and said excitedly, "You're back, Madam. Sir was mentioning you earlier. What do you want for dinner?"

Bianca glanced at her watch and noticed that it was half-past six. She was quite surprised.

"Luke usually comes home late. Why is he home so early today?" Her voice was more shrill than usual.

The caretaker smiled. "I didn't ask him, but he seems to be in a good mood…"

Bianca nodded and stepped into the living room.

Luke was sitting on the couch reading a financial newspaper. He smiled happily when he saw his wife come into the house. "You're back."

"Mm." Bianca took off her jacket and tossed it on the couch.

Luke could see the worry in Bianca's face.

Luke put the newspaper away, hugged her from behind, and gently kissed her. "What's wrong? Why do you look so down? Did someone bully you?"

Bianca opened the box in her hands and revealed the broken inkwell inside. "No one bullied me. I was at Grandpa's house earlier, and I broke his antique inkwell…" she said dejectedly.

Luke picked up one of the pieces and rubbed it between his fingers.

He felt the sharp edges of the broken piece and suddenly smiled. "I thought it was something serious. Don't worry, I know a master conservator. No matter how broken an antique might be, it'll be as good as new in his hands. I'll bring the inkwell to him."

Bianca looked at Luke with surprise. Her eyes were sparkling, but there was a hint of doubt. "The inkwell is already broken like this. There should still be cracks even if your friend manages to restore it, isn't it? It won't be as perfect as it once was."

Luke smiled and gently pinched her earlobe. "I trust in his abilities, and he'll definitely be able to give you a perfect inkwell. Why, don't you trust your husband?"

Bianca felt slightly relieved when she saw how confident he looked. "Of course I trust you. I hope that the inkwell can be restored. I felt so guilty when I saw how sad he was when he looked at the broken pieces…"

Noticing that something was amiss, Luke frowned. "What actually happened? You're not usually so clumsy. You rarely break anything at home, so how did you break Grandpa's inkwell?"

Luke could tell that the inkwell was very expensive.

Old Mr. Norman was an antique lover, and he would usually keep his antiques safe. What coincidence must it be for his wife to "accidentally" break it!

Bianca half-closed her eyes and told him what happened at her grandfather's house.

Luke chuckled after listening to the entire story. "I thought Leia would've already learned her lesson. Don't worry, her days of running rampant are over. I'll make sure that she won't cause any more trouble."

Bianca wanted to ask if he was going to do something to her, but she did not ask the question anyway.

After dinner, the couple sat on the balcony to enjoy the night scenery.
