Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 977

Bianca wiped away the tears on her face and shook her head. "It's nothing, Aunt Wanda."

Wanda remained suspicious. Why would Bianca suddenly cry if nothing was happening? She handed her a napkin. "Don't use your hands. They might be dirty. Also, what's going on?"

Luke took the napkin and wiped Bianca's tears. "It's my fault, Aunt Wanda. I made her cry."

Bianca shook her head to indicate that it was not the case.

Wanda felt quite worried as she looked at the married couple who did not say anything.

"It's nothing major, Aunt Wanda, and it's also not Luke's fault. Don't worry," Bianca sniffed and said.

She had not cried for a long time, and she could not hold her tears back.

For a while, she thought that their marriage was facing a crisis. Her weak heart could not take it.

Wanda felt a little more at ease after hearing the reassurance from Bianca. "I'll get an ice pack for you. I wouldn't want the two elders to think that something happened between the two of you."

"Thank you, Aunt Wanda." Bianca smiled. After Wanda left, she held Luke's hand again and promised him, "I didn't think through it before acting earlier. I won't do that again."

Luke lifted his hand and gently caressed her cheek.

Wanda came back and handed an ice pack to Luke. "Help her massage her eyes, Luke. They're red like a rabbit's eyes. Come back in when she's feeling better. The sun is setting soon. The lightbulb blew out, and I haven't found someone to fix it yet."

"Mm." Luke took the ice pack and used it to gently massage Bianca's eyes.

Bianca reflexively wanted to move away when she felt the sudden coldness on her face, but Luke's warm fingers held her head. Those were two extreme sensations.

Luke massaged her for a while before letting her go.

Bianca's puffy eyes were feeling better. "Don't cry anymore," he said.

"I couldn't help myself." Bianca felt a little embarrassed. She had not been so emotional for a while, and she could not hold back her tears when she found that Luke cared for her.

Luke held the ice pack in one hand and Bianca's hand in the other. "Let's go in."

"Alright." Bianca smiled sweetly and leaned onto him.

Once inside, Old Master Crawford beckoned at Luke and said, "Come here, Luke, and play a game for me."

Old Master Rayne could not help but take a dig at him, "Tsk, Old Master Crawford, I haven't met you in a while, and your chess skills are worse than before. Are you asking for Luke's help?"

"I taught Luke how to play chess," Old Master Crawford said matter-of-factly, "So what's wrong if I ask him to avenge me?"

Luke held Bianca's hand and walked over there. He glanced at the chessboard and noticed that Old Master Crawford's pieces were surrounded. Indeed, he was caught in a tight spot.

Old Master Crawford pointed at the seat next to him and said, "Come and help me in this game, Luke."

He had already lost two games in a row, and he did not want to lose again.

Luke did not refuse. He sat on the chair and said to Old Master Rayne, "I'll play with you, Grandpa."

Old Master Rayne nodded. "Alright, I'll defeat the two of you then!"

Bianca refilled their cups with tea and went to the kitchen to help her aunt.
