Chapter 413

On New Year's Eve, Luke, Bianca, and the twins sat in front of the television while

eating supper.

Luke and Bianca did not eat much at Crawford Manor.

As they ate, Luke and Bianca's phones did not stop vibrating. They were all messages wishing Happy New year, and most of them were copied and pasted.

Bianca's messages were from her good friends, as well as some colleagues and clients.

She replied to every message as a form of courtesy.

Luke, on the other hand, did not bother.

He replied to the messages from several good friends while ignoring those who wanted to flatter him.

It was a simple supper, but the family was happy.

The twins got tired after supper, and they went to bed early.

Luke wanted to carry Bianca to the bedroom. It had been a long day, and Bianca must be tired, not to mention that she was pregnant. However, Bianca insisted that she make a pot pie.

According to her family tradition, the first meal of the new year should be a pot pie. It signified togetherness and good luck.

Luke was not keen on the plan because he did not wish for Bianca to overwork herself. He eventually compromised after Bianca begged him repeatedly.

The two started getting busy again in the kitchen.

The fridge had all the ingredients they needed. Bianca thought of making a meat filling since the twins were carnivores.

Luke offered to do the rough work while Bianca sat on a stool and gave instructions.
