Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 88

"Your friend gave me her key." Luke explained how he got the key in his hand.

Bianca glanced at him to signify that she understood, but her eyes were still red and swollen from crying.

Luke suddenly took two steps toward her to check what was going on with her. However, when he saw that she was frightened by him approaching, he took several steps back.

It was clear that she was dodging him instinctively.

Luke did not know why she was avoiding him.

He carefully recalled that she did not reject the hot kiss when he leaned on her body in front of the car before going to bed when they were still in the small town last night. In fact, she was receptive most times and responded enthusiastically.

Since they were in the car with the old man in the morning, he did not talk much with her due to the old man's presence. However, when they were conversing normally, she did not show such an alienated attitude toward him.

It only started in the afternoon when he tried calling her but she did not answer even after multiple calls.

There was no other way, so he went to her house to look for her.

When he arrived at her neighborhood, her friend Nina just came out.

Nina took the initiative and said, "Boss, I know you’re in a relationship with Bea, but... Why is Bea being weird today? Is there something wrong between the two of you?"

Luke did not know what was going on, so he could no longer wait and rushed over as soon as the meeting was over.

To be honest, the meeting was very perfunctory.

It was actually unprecedented within T Corporation.

The person giving the presentation was very serious, but the boss who was supposed to be involved in the set of data was staring into space. He had been frowning, thinking about something that no one knew.

"It's late. What are you doing here?" Bianca had not sorted out her emotions from that day and did not want to say anything to him yet.

Moreover, it was inappropriate to talk about that matter at the time being.

At that moment, Grandfather, who had been playing with the bird on the balcony, got up from the rocking chair. After giving the bird one last glance, he opened the balcony door and walked back to the living room.

When Grandpa saw Luke standing at the door, he was surprised. He asked his granddaughter, "Bea, Jean is here. Why are you making him stand at the doorway?”

Bianca looked at Grandpa.

There were too many things buried in her heart. However, there was an advantage to that, which was at the critical moment, she could understand what was important and what was not. She needed to check whether the matter was worthy of a breakdown.

When her dad with lung cancer was not around, naturally, Grandpa’s health became the focal point. Everything else about Luke and herself could be discussed later.

"Jean, come in and sit down." Grandpa greeted his grandson-in-law.

Luke nodded.

Bianca looked at him walking toward the sofa in the living room and sitting down.

"Bea, pour Jean a glass of water." Grandpa sat on the other side of the sofa and ordered his granddaughter who was standing still.

Bianca had no choice but to go to the kitchen to get water for him.

"Here." She brought the glass of water and walked toward the sofa.

Luke reached out to take the glass of water. However, when he took the glass over, he also grabbed her hand.

Bianca quickly retracted her hand as if she had gotten an electric shock or was bitten by something.
