Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 996

At noon, Bianca was worried that Luke would be so busy with work that he would forget to eat. She picked up her phone and ordered a takeaway for him before she went downstairs to have lunch with Sue.

Bianca and Sue sat facing each other. Bianca stirred the tea in her cup with a smile and said, "Sue, do you know that Mr. Doyle is coming back today?"

Sue paused and wondered why Bianca was bringing up Jason out of the blue.

"Ms. Rayne, can we not talk about him? It'll ruin my appetite." Although Sue addressed Bianca as Ms. Rayne, her tone was casual and endearing.

Bianca knew that she was lying. "Do you know about it?"

"Yes," Sue replied. Jason had told her the moment he booked his flight.

Seeing her pretending to be unaffected, Bianca took a sip of her tea and said, "Kari and Teri must miss him."

Sue nodded and stayed silent.

Some habits were easy to form but difficult to quit. Jason had spent a lot of time with their daughters before he left for the business trip. He was patient with them and told them stories before they fell asleep every night.

When he was away on the business trip, Kari and Teri were not used to the stories that she read and often said that her skills were not as good as Jason's.

Sue was a little upset when they said that to her. She had read them the stories the same way Jason did, but it seemed like they favored their dad much more. ‘I thought that daughters will be closer to their mothers?’

Their repeated protests made her feel upset. They never disliked the stories she read before he appeared.

"Sue, what's the matter?" Bianca asked when she saw her nodding but not speaking.

"The kids love Jason very much, so much so that they’ve been having complaints about me as their mother." Sue was depressed and thought that she was not a good mother. She was trying her best to be one for them.

It was not easy being a single mother. She was working hard to take care of her two daughters.

Bianca said, "He’s the child's father. Blood is thicker than water. Of course, they love him, but it doesn’t mean that your kids don’t love you." She knew that Kari and Teri were both sensible little girls.

Sue sighed and said, "I don't know how to say it. They make me feel like I’ve failed as a mother."

Bianca made a suggestion. "Actually, it’s not difficult to get along with children. Why don't you ask Mr. Doyle out this weekend and then take Kari and Teri to the carnival?"

The best way to get along with children was to do what they liked. Bianca had done the same thing to get closer to Lanie and Rainie.

However, she had it easier than others. Their family bond was strong.

"I'll bring the kids myself." Sue did not want Jason there so that the kids' attention would not be divided.

"Kids love spending time with their parents. You should ask Mr. Doyle to join you. The more the merrier, right?" Bianca said, "I haven't seen Kari and Teri for a long time. We’ll be going to the carnival this weekend. Do you want to go together?"

"Let's talk about it next time. I have to work overtime this week." Sue was not a fan of Jason and used work as an excuse to turn Bianca down.

Bianca knew that there was nothing more she could say to change Sue’s mind.

Just then, her phone rang and Bianca saw that Luke was calling. She answered the phone. "Hey, Luke."

Luke's deep and sexy voice came from the other end of the call. "My love, did you order lunch for me?"

"Who else do you think it would be?" The big smile on Bianca’s face made Sue, who was sitting across from her, envious.
