Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 241-Daddy Is Bringing Mommy Home

Leia felt a lot better after she replied to her mother's message. She opened the trailer door and called out gently, "Come over here for a bit, Marie."

Her tone of voice sounded like a noble beckoning for their servant or an owner calling for their pet.

Marie was not happy when she heard that, though she faked a smile and jogged over obediently. "Do you need me for anything?" 'Of course I need you for something!' Leia thought as she looked at Marie with disdain.

'Can't you be a little smarter as an assistant?' "Why don't you ever address me whenever I talk to you?” Leia said warmly.

The surroundings might be dark, but Leia's impeccable features had seemed to brighten the night a little.

Members of the production crew passed by while carrying props.

"It's like this. You're six years younger than me, and I'm not sure how I should address you," Marie said awkwardly.

"Ms. Leia" sounded too formal.

She did not feel close enough to Leia to call her by only her name. After all, she was only a lowly assistant.

Marie could never forget the humiliation she suffered when Leia stepped on her fingers.

Leia smiled genially when she heard Marie's words. "You can just call me Leia."

Some of the crew members overheard what Leia said.

"You're too kind, Leia!" "I shouldn't have taken my degree in photography! It's much better to be Leia's assistant!"

As they gossiped, they praised Leia's generosity and friendliness.

Leia smiled, then went back into her trailer to change.

While Marie applied some makeup remover to a cotton pad, she thought to herself, 'Those people in the production crew call her 'Leia' because they're her seniors. If I call her 'Leia,' she might not actually like it.'

With that thought, Marie decided that she should find a more influential benefactor and get away from Leia as soon as possible.

She would scale greater heights and be a hundred times more glamorous than Leia Norman!

On the drive back to the city center.

The RV drove into the downtown area. Leia was not in the mood to look at the bustle of the city outside but instead kept on calling Xavier's number.

Eventually, at about seven o'clock, Xavier answered the call.

Leia sat up straight and furrowed her brows. "Why didn't you answer the call sooner?"

Xavier had only gotten out of the police station and regained the use of his phone. "Why are you looking for me?"

Leia answered, "I have something to ask you. You're the only one I trust who can give me advice. If you don't have anything else, let's meet up."

Xavier continued to walk out of the police station while he lit a cigarette. ’ Alright, you decide on a place.’

Having dinner with a famous celebrity should be a secretive affair. Even so, their last encounter was caught on camera and went in the news anyway.

However, if not for that, Xavier would not have the opportunity to show everyone in the country that he had a legal marriage certificate with Bianca Rayne!

Xavier took a drag of his cigarette and puffed out a cloud of light blue smoke. His lips curled upward into a smug grin when he thought of that.

Xavier was about to get into his car when Mrs. Gideon rushed up to him from behind and stepped into his way.

"You can't frame my daughter, Xavier Tanner!" Her voice was hoarse from screaming.

A lawyer followed behind Mrs. Gideon.

The forty-year-old woman pounced on Xavier and grabbed his collar, though she was quickly shoved away.

"Have you lost your mind? Do you want to accompany your daughter in jail? ’ Xavier looked at Mrs. Gideon, who had fallen onto the ground, with a savage gaze.

The lawyer quickly went over and helped Mrs. Gideon to her feet.

"You're a wicked person, Xavier Tanner!" Mrs. Gideon was laughing out of anger. "You said that my daughter was the one who orchestrated her colleague's grandfather's abduction? Can you say that you're not involved? I think that you're the mastermind!"

Xavier remained calm. "Mrs. Gideon, I'm good friends with Yvonne, and you are acquaintances with my parents. If I’ve done anything wrong, I will admit to it instead of framing it on a nineteen-year-old girl. I can say that I'm not involved in the abduction at all."

Mrs. Gideon laughed as though she had heard a very funny joke. "You said that you're not involved? One day, the truth will prevail!"

Xavier frowned and continued to speak, "Yvonne knows that I love Bianca, my current wife, and that was why she gave me the suggestion to abduct Bianca's grandfather and force her into a marriage. I thought that Yvonne is too young to understand that a relationship born out of compulsion will not last long. If I can win my wife's heart by normal means, why would I need to do that immoral deed? I’ve also advised Yvonne not to do anything rash, but she didn't seem to pay any heed."

The lawyer remained silent.

However, Mrs. Gideon began to waver. On one hand, she thought that even her daughter might be rash, she would not be so stupid to singlehandedly abduct the grandfather of her rival in love.

On the other hand, Xavier seemed too composed, as though he really did nothing wrong.

"Let's go, Mrs. Gideon," the lawyer urged.

Mrs. Gideon left with the lawyer in a daze. She was still confused.

Xavier knew that if the police had arrested Yvonne and were beginning to investigate the case, "someone" must have been pulling the strings.

Fortunately, all the evidence pointed to Yvonne!

However, Xavier was angry at the fact that Luke was helping his wife.

Luke and the children were at the hospital to bring Mommy home. Jason opened the car door.

Lanie and Rainie were very well-behaved.

"Careful, Rainie…" Rainie quickly bent down and grabbed Rainie's leg to help her hop into the car. 2

Lanie was a lot more nimble. He took a step into the car and hopped inside like a gallant price. 1

Luke stood behind Bianca. His hand, adorned by an expensive luxury wristwatch, held Bianca's waist and helped her get into the car.

Jason closed the car door after all four of them had gone inside.

Even though Bianca had such a winding history with the boss, Jason felt that she was a lucky person for having someone to support her in her toughest times.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 242-Who’s the Real King of the Family?

The black Bentley slowly drove out of the hospital.

Bianca looked at the two cute children, and her mood brightened instantly.

Luke did not look at the children like Bianca did. Instead, he was looking at Bianca's face.

Bianca was oblivious to that.

The two children clung to their mother and chatted with her ceaselessly.

'Am I not as important as the children?' Luke thought.

Suddenly, he was jealous!

Rainie pouted and said to Bianca coyly, "When I was three years old, Grand Auntie came over for Christmas and brought her two granddaughters along. They're the same age as me, but they have pretty braids. They told me that their mommy braided their hair for them. Why don't you have a mommy? I was so angry that I cried."

Bianca looked at Rainie's aggrieved expression and hugged her tightly. She kissed Rainie's forehead and said, "I'll do your braids for you every day." "Mm, thank you, Mommy!" Rainie snuggled comfortably in her mother's arms.

However, the little girl suddenly felt a chill coursing down her spine. She thought that someone scary was looking at her.

After Rainie was done complaining, it was Lanie's turn. "When GreatGrandpa brought me to the park to play with the other boys, their mommies will be there handing them their water bottles whenever they're

thirsty. I'm the only one standing there wiping my sweat with my shirt sleeve, and I got scolded back at home."

He wanted to say "I got scolded by Daddy," but Luke was currently glaring at him.

Even though Lanie did not specifically say who scolded him, it was clear who did it.

It could not be their great-grandfather, who doted upon the two children.

It could not be the caretakers either, knowing that the patriarch of the family spoiled them.

That left Luke, who failed as a father.

Bianca did not look at Luke grudgingly, though her impression of him fell by a bit.

The father, who had been ignored all this while, abruptly grunted.

He glanced at the two children with a gloomy face and said, "Don't you think you talk too much?"

The children looked at their father and were about to apologize when Bianca said, ‘Can't your attitude be better when treating your children?"

Bianca had meant to say that for a long time, and she finally said it today.

Luke, who had been reprimanded, seemed slighted, but he did not say anything.

He shut his mouth.

The two five-year-old children seemed to have noticed that slight change…

In the household, their father was like the king. Everyone had to listen to him.

Now, the queen seemed to be taking over the throne…

Meanwhile, Leia met with Xavier.

Marie stayed in the RV waiting for Leia. After the previous incident, she dared not go too close to Xavier.

Leia did not bring her two other assistants with her, only Marie.

That meant that she trusted Marie to her personal life and that Marie would not divulge Leia's whereabouts.

Marie did not think so. She thought that Leia only brought her along and not the two other assistants so that Leia could bully her.

After all, Leia had to maintain a mature and dependable guise in front of the public.

In the restaurant.

Xavier was cutting his steak when he asked, "You intend to get close to Luke Crawford? Did I mishear? This is news to me." 1

The lives of adults in elite society might look glamorous, but that might not be the case behind the scenes. It was normal for them to go on dates or make out if they met each other at a party and desired each other.

Of course, they had to maintain the illusion of glamor.

Those young men and women had to keep up with their appearances. If Leia would want to marry someone with similar social status, and that person was the young and accomplished Luke Crawford, it would be a good thing for Leia.

To be frank, Xavier was eager for that to happen.

However, he had a question. 'What's so good about Luke Crawford that so many women desire him?'

Many people, including males and females, desired Luke, though not many people put their thoughts into action.

The first reason was that Luke had a mind of his own. No one could control whom he liked or did not.

If someone did not catch Luke's eye, there was no use of them trying to gain his favor.

Secondly, even if many people wanted to pursue him, there were usually no chances for them to approach Luke privately.

At the bare minimum, one needed to have a similar social status.

Not only was Leia good-looking, but her family had a lot of clout. How many young women could say that their father was Jack Norman?

Only Leia could.

Leia pondered for a moment before giving Xavier her answer. "I can't say what's so good about him, but there's no one in this world like him."

Xavier felt incredibly jealous when he heard those words from Leia's mouth. He nodded and said, "Mm, looks like he's utterly captivated you. Keep it up. If you don't win his heart, I'll always look down upon you."

Leia remained composed. Xavier could see that she was scheming something.

There must be a reason why Jack and Queenie adopted Leia instead of any other girl in the orphanage. Xavier believed that it was because she was a schemer.

Indeed, ever since Leia was adopted by the Normans, she had worked hard and became a famous celebrity. She was at the peak of her life.

Not any woman could have achieved that.

"I don't think I'll be of much help, but as Luke's childhood friend, I can tell you the things that he likes and dislikes," Xavier said.

Even though he said that he would not be of much help, he knew that he would give his everything to help Leia!

If Leia could win Luke's heart, then Bianca would be ditched! novelbin

At that time, he would be more than willing to accept Bianca into his life again!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 243-Two Considerate Children

Leia stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon. She lifted her head and asked conservatively, "Brother Xavier, what I'm most concerned about are his two children. Where did he get them?"

Xavier was surprised.

Brother Xavier?

That title was too saccharine-sweet.

As far as he remembered, the last time Leia called him "Brother Xavier" was when she had recently stepped out of the orphanage and into elite society. She gave everyone appellations such as "Brother" or "Sister."

As her social status climbed, she found herself to be equals with Xavier and stopped calling him "Brother."

Of course, she could be equals with Xavier because she was Jack Norman and Queenie Zeigler's daughter. In fact, as a Norman, she was of a higher status.

Xavier had never considered Leia to be part of his plan in trying to separate Bianca from Luke.

However, Xavier quickly thought of something. "To be frank, I don't know where the two children came from, even though my family occasionally talks about it. I can guess that Luke doesn't have a close relationship with the children's mother."

That was what Leia wanted to hear!

She hoped that Luke did not have any relationship with the children's mother at all!

As far as she knew, Luke had never allowed any woman to get close to him.

If the mother had borne Luke's children, it meant that they had slept in bed

Leia needed to know who her opponent was before she initiated her plan. That way, she was sure to win.

"Can you tell me how you made that guess?" Leia wanted more concrete evidence. That way, she could be at ease.

Xavier did not want Leia to fail, and therefore he did not make up any excuses. "I really don't know what happened between Luke and the children's mother. After all, no one knows the true identity of the mother, other than Luke," he said truthfully.

Leia nodded seriously.

"You should know that Old Master Crawford wants an heir, even if Luke has no desire to sleep with women. If someone is willing to give birth to Old Master Crawford's great-grandchildren, it shouldn't take much for the family to accept them." What Xavier said was technically the truth.

The only thing he omitted was that the children's mother was Bianca.

Leia seemed dejected when she heard that. "I wonder how did Luke manage to convince the mother of the children to leave them behind." "Money ought to do the trick." Xavier could see Leia's worries.

That was indeed the truth. Back then, Luke and Bianca's relationship was indeed monetary.

Leia smiled a little when she heard that.

From Xavier's words, she could tell that Luke was distant, aloof, and was not concerned with relationships. He would rather take care of his business than women.

He was a worthy challenge!

She would prevail!

She wanted Luke’s world to revolve around her!

Leia stole a glance at Xavier, then recalled the time in the small town when Luke shared a drink with Bianca, Xavier's wife…

The rush hour traffic in the city center had not subsided yet.

Jason drove the car steadily on the road.

After about half an hour, Luke and his family arrived at the apartment.

After sending the boss to the front lobby, Jason drove the car away.

Before they got into the elevator, Luke said, "I've already handed the case to Walter. I know that you've reviewed the security footage before your father passed away."

Bianca was taken aback, though she eventually figured out what he was saying.

She was still suffering the after-effects of hypoglycemia.

"If they come and look for you, you can call me any time." Luke was worried that Bianca's life would be disturbed.

Bianca kneaded her hands, looked at him, and said gently, "Thank you."

They did not say anything after that. When the elevator arrived, Luke hugged Bianca's waist, and they stepped inside.

Everyone was silent when the elevator went up.

At the door, Rainie seemed to have suddenly remembered something. She turned to speak to Bianca, "You have to remember our house number, Mommy. It's 3369. How about I write it on a piece of paper so that you can put it in your handbag? Don't get lost again. Big Bro and I will be worried."

Perhaps Rainie had seen in a video somewhere that elderly people would carry a slip of paper or a tag with their address on them so that they would not forget where they lived.

Bianca looked at Rainie while the latter spoke. She could feel a twinge in her nose.

'Again?

'Since when have I gotten lost?'

Lanie seemed to have guessed what Bianca was thinking. He skipped into the house, but instead of changing into slippers, he took out Mommy's slippers from the shoe rack and placed it in front of her. "Daddy said that you got lost, and that's why you weren't with us."

Rainie nodded and clutched onto the hem of Bianca's sweater.

Bianca was speechless for a moment.

After the family of four changed into slippers and stepped into the apartment, Bianca looked gratefully at Luke, who was walking toward the living room.

Bianca was apprehensive about how she should explain to the children that she had abandoned them after giving birth to them.

To the children, that was irreparable harm.

No matter how she might explain it, the children would only comprehend it as 'Mommy abandoned us."

The first five years of a child's life were very important, yet they had to go through it alone.

She was wracked with guilt and helplessness, but she did not expect that Luke had given the children a seemingly plausible excuse…

When the children were older, they would fully comprehend why their mother had been absent.

"Thank you," Bianca said when she saw that the man stood in front of her with no intention of moving away.

"How are you going to thank me?" The man said with his hoarse and resonant voice. It was brimming with desire.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 244-The Passion In His Gaze

Bianca lifted her head and looked into his eyes.

She was reminded of their carnal relations from five years ago, then at the rekindled passions from a few days ago. Bianca felt that Luke had given her a sense of belonging.

It was as though her feelings had been held hostage for five years and were now set free.

It was like wandering in a storm for a very long time and finally finding a safe haven that only belonged to oneself.

"What are you thinking? Your eyes are red." Luke felt sorry for Bianca when he looked at her frail expression.

Luke admitted that he was currently assailed by primal urges for Bianca that were rushing like the incoming tide. He could not calm his heart whenever he looked at her.

'Have I gotten a craving for her?

’Perhaps so.'

On one hand, he was someone who had tasted carnal pleasures. He desired the sensations that her body gave him.

On the other hand, he was possessive toward her and wished to own her everything.

Otherwise, he would not be at ease.

Bianca could not stand his passionate gaze. When Luke's fingers brushed over her eyelids, she forced herself to calm down and not think of those unhappy experiences in the past.

Suddenly, she heard something fall in the bathroom, then Rainie mumbling something…

Bianca pushed Luke away and rushed toward the bathroom.

Once again, the children had interrupted the scene…

In the bathroom.

Rainie stood tiptoe on a stool, trying to reach for a small box on the rack. She missed, and the items on the rack fell on the floor.

She stepped down from the stool, crouched, and picked up a box of toothpaste from the floor.

"Are you OK? Did you bump into something?" Bianca crouched down and examined Rainie.

’I'm fine." Rainie picked up a brand new tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush. "I picked this toothpaste for you, Mommy. It's strawberry flavored."

Bianca took the tube and saw that it was strawberry-scented children's toothpaste. It looked cute and smelled nice. Children would love it.

Then, Rainie offered Bianca a new bottle of strawberry-scented shower cream, strawberry-scented shampoo, and other strawberry-scented toiletries.

Bianca noticed that the new pair of slippers that she was wearing had a big strawberry embroidered on each of them. She guessed that Rainie must have picked it for her.

"Who brought you to buy all these?" Bianca asked softly. novelbin

"Daddy did…" Rainie answered truthfully.

Nine o'clock.

Bianca had washed up. Not only did the man take care of her, but her two children were also taking care of her.

Bianca and Rainie took a bath together. Rainie cleaned herself first, and she said she wanted to help Mommy take a bath.

All Bianca wanted was to be a good mother and help Rainie in the bath.

Rainie shook her head and said that she was used to taking baths alone, but she was afraid that Mommy might pass out again.

She wanted to help Mommy in the bathroom.

Occasionally, she would hand over the shower cream to Mommy. When Bianca was done, Rainie handed her a comb and towel…

When Bianca stepped out of the bathroom, Lanie had placed her slippers at the door and had peeled a banana and an orange.

He took several fruits and handed them to Daddy in the kitchen.

Luke took the fruits, placed them in the sink to wash them, then cut them into slices and wrapped them in cling wrap…

Lanie had specifically requested for the cling wrap. He said, "You must wrap the fruits in cling wrap, Daddy. In the old house, Granny Lindell would wrap the freshly cut fruits with cling wrap…"

Luke was not used to domestic chores. He could only listen to what his son told him.

Bianca appreciated the treatment, though she was more used to being the one serving others instead of being served.

Bianca leaned on the headboard of the bed before she slept.

She was dressed in a pink nightgown. Her half-dried hair draped over her shoulders. The skin on her face was not dry either; Rainie had applied some strawberry-scented moisturizing cream for her.

"You should only sleep after you've dried your hair." Rainie leaned next to Bianca, holding a picture book in her hands and reading the story to Mommy. She also reminded Mommy from time to time that she should only sleep after her hair was dry. Otherwise, she would get a headache the next day. Granny Lindell from the old house had told her that.

In those few hours of interaction with the children, Bianca felt both happy and sad.

She was happy that her children knew how to take care of themselves.

On the other hand, she was sad that the person who had taught them how to take care of themselves was Granny Lindell, the caretaker in Crawford Manor.

Luke was busy at work, so it was understandable that he did not have the time to teach the children how to take care of themselves. However, he occasionally educated the children on the philosophy of life.

Their great-grandfather also took good care of them.

Bianca was sad that the children did not have a mother to guide them through life. Even their grandmother did not educate them.

Luke was working in his study. Whenever he went to the bathroom and walked past the bedroom, he would steal an impatient glance inside.

The glance was not directed toward Bianca, but rather Rainie, who was leaning next to her and did not go away.

About an hour later, Luke once again passed by the bedroom. He saw that Rainie was asleep in her mother’s lap. Her mouth was slightly open, and she was blowing bubbles.

Luke stepped into the room without saying a word. His intentions were clear.

Bianca saw that Luke was reaching out to carry the little girl away. "Careful.

Don't accidentally wake her up," she reminded him.

Their eyes met. Luke towered over the bed and looked at Bianca cradling Rainie in her arms.

Luke's gaze was profound. Bianca did not know what he was thinking.

Luke carried Rainie back into her room. He suddenly realized that for the first time in five years, he had truly become a father.

’Careful. You're holding her the wrong way,’ Bianca had said to him.

Indeed, women were more considerate.

In the bedroom.

Bianca could hear the sound of flowing water in the bathroom.

Luke took a shower and returned to the bedroom, only wearing a towel around his waist. He saw that Bianca was still reading that childish picture book.

'What's so good about that book?'

Bianca was about to turn a page when the man took the book away, tossed it behind him, and turned off the lights.

She did not feel sleepy even though the surroundings were dark. Now that she had officially become Lanie and Rainie's mother, she had no excuse to say no to him.

She was uncomfortable sleeping on the same bed with Luke, but she had to bear with it.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 245-As Though He Is Possessed

Bianca closed her eyes and started counting sheep.

One, two, three… when she was at twenty-three, she felt the man leaning closer on her back.

His warm and rough hands encircled her delicate waist and reached into the elastic band of his pajama pants.

Bianca was sleeping on her side. Luke's warm hands rubbed and massaged her abdomen, and her legs instinctively bent…

When she bent her legs, her butt was pushed outward…

Her butt pressed against the man's body. She could feel something awaken beneath the man's pants and was poking her body.

"What are you doing?" Bianca frowned slightly. She was not in the mood tonight.

The bedroom was dark, though eventually she got used to the darkness. Luke's arm supported his head, and he was leaning on the bed looking at her. His head moved forward, and he kissed her fair cheek.

"The doctor recommends that you should exercise more often. It'll be good for your hypoglycemia," he said.

"Exercise…” Bianca's mind turned blank.

The doctor must have meant something like jogging or yoga, not "exercise" in bed like what Luke thought.

Bianca was relatively conservative in that matter, but Luke insisted on doing it his way, like a spoiled child.

No matter how Bianca refused him, he insisted on doing it as though he was possessed…

"If you're tired after doing it, then sleep. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you'll stay up all night thinking of nonsense." As Luke tried to convince her, his hands had already lifted her nightgown.

The moon was silvery-white, shining on Bianca's fair skin…

Before tonight, Bianca did not know that a man would come up with a million valid reasons to convince a woman to say yes.

He might say that "It's for your own good," but at the same time, it fulfilled his carnal desires.

Luke kissed the woman next to her many times in the long night. Every kiss lasted for very long, and he paused for a short while before doing it again.

Bianca gasped for air. She was not sure if her hypoglycemia would hit again and cause her to pass out.

Fortunately, she did not.

Luke growled softly and stopped. Bianca waited for a long time before she pushed him away. "Get off me…"

Luke saw her bury her face under the blanket. "You still look like you're in college. Why are you still so easily embarrassed?" He said.

"Embarrassed about what?" Bianca knew what Luke was talking about, but somehow she thought that he might be referring to something else.

Luke caressed her delicate skin on her waist. "About everything all the time. How many times have we gone to bed with each other? You're the one who gave birth to the kids. What else do you still have reservations about?"

Bianca thought of what he said…

Luke continued, "You don't have to worry if you're easily embarrassed in bed. I like how you're blushing at everything."

Bianca blushed even harder when she heard that.

"Everything still feels so surreal…"

Luke furrowed his brows and indicated to her to continue. novelbin

Bianca continued to let her subconscious speak for her. "I guess it's because I come from a poor family, so it's a different world than you… I don't think I can fully grasp how people like you think, and even if I do, I don't know what to do with it… I can't really explain it, but it just gets surreal every time I try to think of my situation."

Luke did not know why Bianca remained confused. Perhaps he was not doing a good job.

Otherwise, she should have been at ease.

However, he could understand why Bianca felt confused.

Ever since he returned to Crawford Manor, he had witnessed many men and women lose themselves in the complicated relations of elite society.

Every time, the responsible party was the man.

Luke tried to think of how to make Bianca feel less confused, but at the same time, he thrust in her again. "How about this? Does it feel real enough?" 1

Bianca was exhausted experiencing his "reality"…

Bianca slept soundly that night.

The next morning, when she woke up, the two children had finished their homework, packed their backpacks, then scampered over to take care of their Mommy who had just gotten out of bed.

Rainie squeezed toothpaste on Bianca's toothbrush.

Bianca felt a lot better. After losing her father, Lanie and Rainie were the best cure for her depression.

When it was time to go to school, Jason came and picked up the kids.

After making breakfast and helping the children pick their clothes and wear their shoes, Bianca finally found some free time for herself at half-past eight.

Luke stood at the kitchen doorway. "Leave the dishes for later. Rest a while.”

Bianca continued doing the dishes. "I'm tougher than you think. You, Lanie, and Rainie don't have to treat me so well. It's not like I always pass out…"

She did not want Luke and the children to treat her like a patient.

Suddenly, Bianca found that Luke was right behind her, looking at the woman doing the dishes, and whispering into her ear, "You're tougher than I think? You were biting me and screaming for me to stop last night…"

Splash!

The bowl fell from Bianca's hand and into the sink when she heard that.

The entire stack of dishes toppled.

Luke turned her around and pulled her close. He lowered her head and tasted her pink and supple lips.

"Stop fooling around and go to work…" Bianca said.

On the other side of the city, at the film set.

Marie was stunned when the police came to look for her.

'Bianca, that witch, she's bringing me to court after all!'

An hour earlier, Linda had received a call from the police. She did not inform Marie but instead told Leia when she was resting between takes.

That was when Leia found out about Marie's incident.

She did not expect that Bianca's father had passed away.

However, Xavier seemed just as usual. He did not look like someone whose father-in-law passed away.

Leia thought that she should pay more attention to Bianca after her shoot ended. Bianca might be sad, but someone had to sort out the mess.

Xavier, her husband, did not seem to care at all, so who was the one who was taking care of Bianca's father's affairs?

Was Bianca doing it herself?

Leia focused her attention on that question and ignored Marie.

Marie was yelling and cursing as the police officers brought her away. "I hope you die a horrible death, Bianca! You'll die early like that father of yours! How underhanded. Do you think that you can claim the house for yourself?" "Shut up!" A police officer reprimanded her and shoved her into the police car.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 246-Pampered by Luke's Supplementary Card

After Marie was brought away, Leia took the rest of her break halfheartedly and continued the shoot.

The tearful scene had been reshot from morning to night, but the director was not satisfied.

"Never mind. Let's wrap up for today. Go home and think through the scene and we'll try again tomorrow," the director said disappointedly to the male and female lead actors.

Leia was not in the mood to think about the shoot. She wanted to leave the set as soon as she could.

Her acting career was important, but it was not as important as finding an opportunity to meet Luke so that they could get married.

When the RV was about to leave the film set, Leia gave Xavier a call.

Xavier was at home playing chess with his father.

Lacey was pleased when she saw that Xavier and his father were at peace with each other. She kept on serving them fruits and drinks.

When Xavier's phone rang, he saw that it was from Leia. He answered the call, though his eyes remained on the chessboard. "Yes?" "Where are you now? Can we meet?" "Not now, maybe tomorrow. I'm playing chess with my father, and it's a close fight."

After that, Xavier made his move.

Daniel smiled and picked up one of his pieces, though he did not make his move. He did not know why his son had suddenly returned home to play chess with him, but he was nonetheless very satisfied.

"It's fine if we don't meet. Let's talk on the phone. Um… do you know that Bianca's father passed away?"

Xavier immediately sat up straight. "What? Bianca's father passed away?

Where did you hear that?" "So, you weren't informed. I dug around for information when the police came to the film set to take Marie away. They said that Marie was liable for Bianca's father's death. Two days ago…"

Before Leia could finish, Xavier ended the call.

Daniel, who was holding a chess piece in his hand, and Lacey, who was peeling an apple, heard what their son said earlier.

"Why did Bianca's father pass away?" As Lacey spoke, she accidentally cut her finger with the fruit knife.

"You should be careful too," Daniel said as he stood up from his seat.

The caretaker in the house quickly came over with the first-aid kit and bandaged Lacey's finger.

Xavier put on his jacket and prepared to leave the house. He had a gloomy expression on his face. "I'm not sure about the details, but I'll ask her for it."

He knew that Bianca would not answer his calls.

However, that did not stop him from trying.

Just when he was about to get into his car, Lacey came out with her coat and handbag. "I’ll go with you too."

Xavier stopped her. "You shouldn't go. I'll come and pick you up when I find out anything." He did not want to see how coldly Bianca treated her.

No mother would be willing to see their son being coldly treated by his wife.

If that happened, the relationship between mother and daughter-in-law would become worse.

Throughout the night, Xavier could not get through to Bianca. Eventually, his phone ran out of battery.

Xavier had found out the hospital Kevin was in. When he arrived at the hospital, the personnel told him that the patient's daughter had left.

Xavier displayed his marriage certificate and told them that he was the patient's daughter's husband and that he wanted to know more about the cause of the patient's death.

One of the nurses was an avid fan of entertainment gossip. She recognized that the man was Bianca's husband.

That was why she told him everything she knew.

Xavier's gaze turned cold and harsh. He knew that Marie was despicable, but not to that extent.

The rumors about the incident that happened in Kevin Rayne's ward had spread throughout the hospital. All the doctors and nurses knew about it.

After getting the details, Xavier left the hospital.

He did not go home, nor did he go to the bar. Instead, he drove away and stopped at the parking spot nearest to the hospital.

Someone had just parked there. It was a Volkswagen Golf.

Xavier got out of the car and handed that person a stack of banknotes. "Do you mind parking somewhere else? I want to park here."

The driver was shocked when he looked at Xavier and the stack of money.

‘Is this real life?

'Isn't this just a normal parking spot? Is it gold-plated?'

He took the money and drove away.

Xavier sat in the car but did not turn off the engine. He turned on the thermostat so that he was warmer, lit a cigarette, and looked in the direction of the hospital.

He could have gone home and returned early the next morning.

However, his thoughts were in a jumble. He wanted to find the best spot to stake out so that he could see Bianca the first thing in the morning.

The nurse said that Kevin would be cremated tomorrow.

For Xavier, the night was unbearably long. However, for Bianca, it was too short.

Bianca was startled away from her dream.

She dreamed that she was back in her middle school days, and Jennifer and Marie were bullying her.

The pocket money that she hid in her backpack was stolen by Marie!

Then, the money that she hid in her clothes was snatched by Jennifer!

The dream shifted to another scene.

They were teleported into a courtroom. Jennifer and Marie were begging her to withdraw the lawsuit, and in an act of mercy, she agreed to it.

However, in real life, after hearing what Walter had to say about the case, Bianca swore that she would not forgive them!

She got out of bed. As she made breakfast, she told herself, "Never mind.

Whatever happened in the dream will turn out to be the opposite…"

Rainie also just got out of bed and heard her mother talking to herself. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "What will be the opposite, Mommy?"

Bianca turned around and wanted to respond to her daughter when she saw the man standing at the door.

Luke had brushed his teeth and changed into his suit. He looked smart and smelled of aftershave.

He took a card that looked special and placed it on the kitchen counter." Keep it safe. It's my supplementary card."

Bianca stared at the pure black card with a gold stripe running across it. For a long time, she did not say a word. novelbin

Was it really true that whatever happened in a dream would turn out to be the opposite?

She had dreamed that Jennifer and Marie had taken away whatever money she had left, but now she was presented with a supplementary card.

Bianca knew that she could never hit the credit limit of that card…

"If you have the time, bring the kids to buy winter clothes. Sorry, I'm too busy." Luke thought that Bianca might reject his offer and so he used the children as an excuse. That way, Bianca would have a reason to take the card.

Indeed, she could not reject the card because Luke had said that. She could not afford to buy winter clothes for her children…

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 247-Luke Was Speechless

She felt a twinge in her nose and an indescribable feeling in her chest. No one had unconditionally treated her so well like Luke did.

Bianca's long eyelashes fluttered.

She picked up the limited edition black credit card. She had read about it in a finance magazine before.

The morning sun shone through the wide floor-to-ceiling, into the kitchen, and onto Luke’s sculpted, angular side profile. The man was unbelievably perfect!

She was only a plain, unremarkable woman, but she was lucky enough to gain his love and pampering.

"Thank you…" Bianca was starting to sob when she spoke.

The man had given her warmth and companionship at her lowest point.

Her father's passing had left her clueless and helpless.

That was a huge blow. Fortunately, Luke was by her side.

There were her children too. Lanie and Rainie were like angels. They were the proof of her relationship with him.

She was unlucky, but at the same time, she was the luckiest woman. Fate had been kind to her.

Luke gently kissed the wet corners of Bianca's eyes and gently scraped the bridge of her nose. "You don't have to thank me, silly. Meeting you has been the best thing that happened in my life. You might have lost your father, but I and the two children are with you."

The man's voice was low and resonant. It could make Bianca's wildly thumping heart instantly calm down.

"Big Bro and I will always be by your side, Mommy! Well stay together forever!" The soft and cute little girl wearing princess pajamas hugged Bianca's leg, tickling it with her curly long hair.

Bianca carried her daughter that was as soft as a snowball into her arms and kissed her cheek. The little girl giggled, which attracted Lanie's attention.

He had just gotten out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth. He leaned on the doorway, looking jealously at his sister in Bianca's arms.

He wanted Mommy to carry him too, but Daddy said that he was a big boy, and he should not act effeminately like his sister. novelbin

Lanie tried to look away from the scene, but Luke could catch the glint of jealousy in his son's eyes.

The little boy saw his father walk toward him.

"Daddy…" Lanie called out.

Luke bent down and picked up the little boy in his arms.

Lanie blinked, and his mouth opened in surprise. One could fit an egg inside!

'Daddy?'

A volley of fireworks had exploded in his heart!

'Daddy is hugging me!

'It's not a normal hug, but a comforting hug!'

Luke could smell a milky scent on Lanie's body.

Luke always had the opinion that girls needed to be pampered, but boys had to be trained. He hugged Rainie many times, but not so much the precocious Lanie.

Now that he was carrying his son in his arms, Luke might look aloof, but if one looked closely at his eyes, one could see that there was a current of warmth swirling inside.

His movements were gentle, but the tone of his voice remained cold." You're a Crawford, and you should learn how to stay calm instead of overacting over some minor thing. Your performance earlier was not up to my expectations. Remember, there's no second chance."

Lanie curled up in his father's arms. He was happy even though his father was lecturing him seriously.

"Mm!" He nodded and his eyes sparkled.

Bianca glanced at Luke unhappily and reprimanded him, "Lanie is still young. Why are you so serious?"

When Luke heard her voice, he was reminded of their intimate romp on the bed the night before…

Bianca had writhed and bloomed beneath his body, like a fairy of the woods.

Luke could feel his blood turning hot.

He could feel something hard between his legs.

It was forming a bulge in his pants, ready to strike.

"Ow! Are you hiding something in your pants, Daddy? Something is poking my foot," Lanie said as he felt his bare feet hit something hard.

He looked at his father curiously.

"Mommy! Does Daddy have a tumor? We should bring Daddy to the hospital. He might have a tumor like Granny Florence and needs to cut it off …" Rainie sounded as though she was about to cry.

Granny Florence was Lanie and Rainie's caretaker. She was very kind toward the two children, and they loved her very much.

However, a tumor grew on her neck, and she had to stay in the hospital to remove it.

Rainie was worried that Daddy would be like Granny Florence!

Luke and Bianca were speechless.

'Are you sure you want Daddy to cut off the thing that would provide Mommy happiness?'

Bianca looked at the bulge in Luke's pants. Her face was blushing intensely.

She did not expect that his urges would rise again, after what they did the night before…

She wordlessly looked at Luke's eyes.

Luke feigned helplessness. He could do nothing when his "little brother" betrayed him.

He could only blame Bianca for being so attractive.

Luke coughed lightly and said, "Daddy's fine. I only need to take a cold shower. Listen to your Mommy and don't make her mad."

He placed Lanie on the floor, then headed toward the bathroom, leaving the confused Lanie and Rainie in the kitchen with Bianca.

"Mommy, can cold showers heal tumors?" Rainie was persistent in getting an answer.

"Well… Daddy ate spicy food last night, and he needs to cool himself down with a cold shower. Remember, Lanie and Rainie, don't eat too much spicy food when you're older," Bianca explained to her children with a poker face. At the same time, she could explain away why she was blushing so intensely.

"Mm, we'll listen to you, Mommy. We won't eat spicy food," the two children answered at the same time.

Bianca felt guilty that she was not telling the children the truth.

She brought the kids to the living room and gave them picture books. Then, she returned to the kitchen and made breakfast for the family.

However, when she was reminded that her father had passed away and Jennifer and Marie's arrogant faces, all her good mood was gone.

This time, she would not forgive the despicable mother and daughter no matter what!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 248-Look, Daddy Is Feeding Mommy!

Now that she was not living alone, Bianca prepared more food for breakfast.

However, she had limited experience in preparing a meal for a family. She prepared many different items so that the children could eat what they wanted.

On the big breakfast table were ham sandwiches and scrambled eggs.

Next to them was French toast and fresh milk, and also oatmeal seasoned with vanilla and cinnamon.

In the middle of the table was a grilled salmon steak.

Luke was already dressed neatly in his business suit. He sat cross-legged on the chair, his casual posture giving him a natural air of nobility.

His sculpted features were perfect yet distant.

Bianca thoroughly appreciated the elegant way Luke ate his breakfast.

Lanie and Rainie were well-trained to take their meals without speaking.

They sat next to Bianca and operated clumsily with their utensils.

When Bianca saw that, her motherly instincts were triggered, and she started to feed them.

She picked up a slice of ham with a fork and brought it toward her daughter's lips. "Open your mouth, Rainie," she said with a gentle smile.

Rainie lifted her head and looked at her mother. She opened her mouth, and the ham went inside.novelbin

That was not the first time she had eaten ham, but that was perhaps the best bite of ham she had ever tasted!

Rainie blinked smugly at her brother, as though saying, "Look, Mommy is feeding me!"

Lanie looked at his sister with his big and round eyes. He was shoveling oatmeal into his mouth.

He swallowed the mouthful of oatmeal and looked expectantly at his mother.

"Feed yourself!" Luke said brusquely. He knew what his son was thinking.

Even he had never been spoon-fed by Bianca. He did not want his son to cultivate that bad habit!

After being reprimanded by his father, Lanie could only take the spoon and feed himself.

Rainie witnessed the scene. She knew that her father was talking to her brother, but it sounded like he was talking about herself too.

She picked up her spoon and refused her mother's feeding.

However, Bianca thought that Luke was too harsh on her children.

She was just about to say something when a fork holding a small piece of salmon was brought to her mouth.

The two children's eyes popped!

'Daddy is feeding Mommy!'

Bianca felt a little embarrassed opening the mouth and slowly swallowing the piece of fish. She looked at Luke's handsome face and wondered what he was thinking.

Lanie and Rainie looked at their father with their puppy eyes.

Luke's eyes met with the expectant gazes of his children and seemed to have a sudden pang of conscience. He picked up a big piece of salmon, removed the bones, and placed half of it on each of their plates.

Lanie frowned and grumbled, "But Daddy, Rainie and I don't like fish…"

Rainie added, "Yeah, Daddy knows that Big Bro and I don't like fish, but he's giving us fish. Don't you think that Daddy is naughty?"

The little girl turned to look at her mother for some consolation.

It was as though their father did not know what they liked to eat and what they did not.

"If you don't want to eat it, then you don't have to. I'll give you something else, alright?" Bianca spoke to her children patiently.

Luke did not lift his head, but his tone of voice was absolutely authoritative. "Kids should not be picky with their food. You have to finish the fish on your plates today."

He knew that Lanie and Rainie disliked fish, but it was not good forthem to be picky about food at such a young age. He wanted to rid them of the bad habit.

"Stupid Daddy, I don't like fish! Bad Daddy! I hate you!" Rainie was usually obedient, but she found the courage to talk back, perhaps because her mother was on her side.

She pushed her plate away and said angrily, "I don't wanna eat fish. I don't wanna!"

Bang! Luke slammed the table.

All the plates and cutlery on the table shook.

Lanie quickly pulled back his outstretched arm. 'Oh no, Daddy is angry…' "Hmph! Do you see that, Mommy? Daddy is forcing us to eat something we don't like. Boo hoo… I'm done with breakfast…"

Rainie angrily hopped down from the chair.

Rainie wanted to stop her, but the little girl had dashed away toward the door.

"Rainie Crawford, if you step out that door, then don't ever come back!" Luke said sternly.

A barefaced threat!

Rainie turned around to look at her father's ice-cold face and instantly lost her nerve. She turned around, sat back on the chair, picked up her fork, and started to eat the fish with tears in her eyes.

Bianca found it incredulous that the man had used such brunt means to educate the children.

"They're only five years old, Luke!" Bianca said with surprise, "Don't you think that you're too harsh on them?" "Eat all the fish on your plates. I dont want to see a single scrap!" Luke ignored Bianca and continued to order his children.

"I don't wanna eat fish, I don't wanna…" Using her fork, Rainie angrily mashed the piece of fish in her plate into bits.

"I'm really full, Daddy. Can I eat this next time?" Lanie asked carefully while observing the changes in his father's expression.

Luke looked at the two children.

'Should I blame Bianca if the children grow up to be picky eaters?'

The two children were thoroughly terrified. Eventually, they resigned to fate and slowly ate the fish on their plates.

Bianca was shocked.

She knew that Luke was sometimes cold and distant, but he had a gentle and domestic side. She did not expect that he could be so domineering over his children.

Bianca finally knew why the two children had feared their father!

'This is just…

'Even if they don't like fish, there are better ways to persuade them. Why must he resort to threats?

'They're young children after all.'

Bianca, who had been pampering her two children, slammed her fork on the table. "Luke, is that how you usually treat Lanie and Rainie?" She said angrily, unable to take it anymore.

Luke finally came to his senses when he saw Bianca's slightly furrowed brows.

In Crawford Manor, whenever the children were picky about food at the dining table, he would always get angry.

He forgot that Bianca was sitting at the same table. How was he going to comfort her?

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 249-The Happy Family Is An Eyesore

Luke let out a gentle sigh. Now that he had successfully cowed the two little ones, he had to take care of the big one. He failed as a father.

He stood up helplessly, went to Bianca's side, and gently hugged her delicate body into his steel-like arms.

He gently stroked her back and said, "Alright, it's all my fault. Don't be angry, OK? I'm afraid that they might grow up to be picky eaters, and that won’t be good fortheir health. I won't be so harsh on them the next time."

Seeing that he was apologizing earnestly, Bianca decided to let the matter rest. "You've made your promise that you won't ever do what you did today. They're children after all."

Luke could breathe easier, seeing how Bianca became less angry.

God knows how much he cared for her feelings.

"…" Lanie and Rainie rested their cheeks on their hands. They could not believe what they saw.

Daddy changed a lot ever since Mommy was here.

They had nothing but admiration for Mommy for being able to tame the tyrant-like Daddy.

The episode at the breakfast table came to an end.

After breakfast, Luke brought Bianca and the two children to the hospital.

It was Bianca's father’s funeral today. She wanted to bring the two children to meet their grandfather for the first and last time.

At the hospital.

In the smoke-filled car, Xavier smoked cigarette after cigarette. He stayed up for the entire night.

Even now, he held a burning cigarette in his hand.

He clearly knew who was the man by Bianca's side now, and how much she hated him. However, that did change how he felt for her.

He felt bitter for how Bianca had been so cold toward him.

Bianca was his legally wedded wife, but he had to stake out at the hospital just to meet her. He thought that it was incredibly ironic, though it was he who had married her using underhanded means in the first place.

The appearance of the family of four at the hospital entrance made his eyes hurt.

The tall and well-built man was like a guardian angel, protecting the beautiful and delicate woman. They held the two angelic children with their hands as though they were the perfect family. novelbin

That perfect family walked toward the hospital entrance.

Xavier could not calm down when he saw that scene.

He stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, kicked open the car door, and stomped his way out.

He was the one who had met Bianca first.

Back then, Bianca was too young and naive, like an unripe peach. He wanted to wait for her to mature.

However, his generous gesture was not repaid in kind. That animal Luke Crawford had taken what belonged to him. How was Xavier going to take that lying down?

"Bianca!” Xavier grabbed Bianca's hand. His bloodshot eyes were filled with anger. "I'm your husband, but you don't let me know that something so serious has happened! Was I going to be oblivious to the news that my father-in-law has passed away, if not that I heard it from someone else?" "Let go of me, Xavier!" Bianca wanted to remove her hand from his grip, but his hand was like a metal vice.

Bianca sneered. "Husband? I think you should know better than anyone else about how you managed to involve me in this travesty of a marriage… To me, you're nothing but a stranger. No, you're not even a stranger. You're an underhanded scoundrel!"

Bianca's words were like a rain of needles that stabbed into Xavier's heart.

Xavier laughed and pretended to be unaffected even though he was hurting inside. "So what? Even if you don't love me, your name is next to mine on the marriage certificate. As long as I'm here, you're my legally wedded wife. Your relationship with Luke Crawford can never be valid!"

Suddenly, Xavier felt a sharp pain on his wrist. He reflexively let go of Bianca's hand.

He turned around angrily and saw that Luke was gripping his wrist with such force that he thought that his wrist was going to break.

Luke was dressed in a bespoke black suit that perfectly fitted his sculpted body. He looked as noble as usual, though his expression was so icy that the air around him seemed to freeze.

Luke's gaze was murderous. "Bianca's father's funeral is today, Xavier, and I'm not in the mood to deal with you. If you're here to pay your respects, then you may do as you please. If you're here to cause trouble, then I don't think that we can be friends anymore!"

The two children seemed to have felt the weight in their father's words. They hid behind Bianca and looked at the two adult men without saying a word.

Luke let go of Xavier's wrist, then walked with Bianca and the two children into the hospital.

Xavier looked at his wrist that was still aching. A bruise was forming.

He would deal with Luke later. The most important matter at hand was Bianca's father's funeral.

In the morgue.

Kevin lay in the casket. His face was extremely pale.

He looked as though he were asleep, if not for the fact that he was not breathing.

"Come over here and pay your respects, Lanie, Rainie. This is the first time and the last time you'll meet your Grandpa Kevin." Bianca tried hard to hold her tears back.

She brought the two children next to the casket and asked them to bow.

The two children saw the tears in their mother's eyes, then turned to bow respectfully at their grandfather, who seemed to be sleeping in the casket.

"This is my first time meeting you, Grandpa Kevin, but you can't see me…" Lanie said solemnly, "Mommy says that you're in heaven now. I hope that you can be happy there. I'm a big boy now, and I'll take care of Mommy for you. Don't worry, Grandpa Kevin."

After Lanie was done, Rainie continued to introduce herself. "Grandpa Kevin, I'm Rainie, the sister. I'm very cute, and I know the alphabet. I love to draw and tell stories. Oh, I know how to dance too… I'll take care of Mommy with Big Bro. Don't worry, Grandpa Kevin."

Tears blurred Bianca's eyes when she saw the scene in front of her. She covered her mouth with a hand so that she did not cry out loud. A solid wall of muscle hugged her from behind.

Luke wiped away her tears and gently comforted her. Then, he turned to speak to Kevin. "You can leave Bianca in my care. With me around, I'll make sure that no harm comes to her."

Some distance away, Xavier stood rooted on the spot like a wooden mannequin. A cold sneer appeared on his face as he watched the "happy family" pay their final respects to Kevin…

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 250-Guardian Bianca Like An Angel

Xavier was Bianca's legal husband. He should have been in Luke's position, doing what Luke was doing. That was more than a joke!

Xavier walked to Kevin's casket, his heart filled with indignation and grievances. "I'm sorry that you've never met me while you're still alive. I'm Xavier, your son-in-law. It's a pity that Bianca and I didn't hold a grand wedding ceremony before you left. Don't worry. I'll hold the biggest wedding ceremony that the world has ever seen. Bianca shall be my wife and only my wife. I swear that I'll take good care of your two grandchildren too."

Xavier turned to look at Luke with an instigative gaze. As expected, the man's eyes flashed with hostility and curiosity.

'It's fine. He can have the upper hand for now.’

Xavier felt a little better when he saw that Luke was angry but could not release it.

However, fires of anger started burning once again in Xavier's heart when he saw Bianca, in her sorrow, being hugged and comforted by Luke.

'Bear with it.'

Xavier told himself repeatedly as he rubbed his throbbing temples.

It was not the time to raise a commotion. Otherwise, Bianca might hate him even more.

Bianca started speaking, "You've suffered a lot in your life, Father. Jennifer and her daughter only know how to exploit you like a money-making machine… you've been foolish to trust them and let them use

you. I have to admit that I hate them to the bone. If not for those two pests, you wouldn't have suffered like this… Don't worry, Father. I'll reclaim justice for you."

Bianca remembered the scene in the security footage when the two avaricious women used those words that were dripping with poison to agitate the coughing, dying man just so that they could get a piece of his inheritance.

She saw with her own eyes how her father had despaired, but she could not do anything to save his life.

At that moment, she wanted to crush Jennifer and Marie into a million bits!

A hint of determination flashed in her sorrowful eyes. She swore that Jennifer and her daughter would receive the punishment they deserve!

Luke had single-handedly planned Kevin's funeral. It would be held at the Rayne family house.

Xavier had wanted to hold the funeral at the Tanner family house, but Bianca's words had extinguished his enthusiasm.

Bianca had said, "Xavier, if you want to hold a funeral for my father, then you can buy an urn. I will never let you touch my father's ashes."

Xavier knew that Bianca's frailty was only an exterior trait. Deep inside, she was extraordinarily unyielding. He could only swallow his pride and relent.

'Fine. Bianca is in a bad mood now because she has just lost her father. I shouldn't agitate her.

'We'll see what happens after the incident passes!'

Funeral wreaths were placed all over the Rayne family house. The atmosphere was solemn and sorrowful.

Kevin's portrait was placed on the wall. His gentle gaze looked down upon the mourners in attendance. It was a sorrowful scene.

Bianca was dressed in black and wore a veil. Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

She kneeled in front of her father's portrait and stayed there, no moving. Only her flowing tears indicated that she was alive.

The two children were also dressed in black and stayed next to their mother.

Wanda was also dressed in black. Her face was sorrowful.

She did not expect that she missed the chance to meet her brother for one last time and that her sickly father remained oblivious to the fact.

Luke wore a black band on his arm. He helped Bianca attend to the visitors. Some of them were Kevin's colleagues and friends, and some were Luke's business partners who had come after hearing the news.

They were curious about why Luke would help an employee in his company manage her funeral.

More curiously, his two children were at the funeral and staying next to Bianca. Those usually shrewd businessmen could not figure out what was going on.

In any case, they used the opportunity to gain Luke's favor.

As businessmen, they prioritized their benefits.

They knew what to say and what not to say. Their presence at the event was a mere social obligation.novelbin

On the other side of the venue, Xavier was dressed in all black and was enthusiastically greeting the mourners using his identity as Kevin's son-in- law.

Two equally handsome men were guarding the door for Bianca. The tension between them was palpable, but at the same time, they acted in harmony with each other. The mourners were confused about what was going on, and some of them whispered to each other.

Sue and Tom, Bianca's colleagues, also came to mourn Bianca's father. They brought a wreath, then spoke to Bianca for a while before leaving.

Nina did not know how Bianca's father suddenly passed away. Earlier, in a phone call, Bianca had even happily told her that her father's condition was recovering.

The loss was sudden and unexpected!

Nina might not know the reason behind Bianca's father's sudden death, but she knew that Jennifer and Marie were arrested by the police. She could guess that the death had something with the two despicable individuals.

Nina placed the wreath under Kevin's portrait and bowed solemnly at him. She bent down, patted Bianca's shoulder, and comforted her. "I'm so sorry for Uncle Kevin's passing, Bianca. You'll have to stay strong. Uncle Kevin wouldn't want to see you like this."

Bianca lifted her head. With her tear-filled eyes, she looked at the two children staying by her side and at Luke busily attending to the mourners at the entrance. She slightly nodded and felt a little better.

At the entrance, Luke's impeccably handsome face, domineering presence, and distant expression captivated everyone's attention.

His tall and well-built body and solemn presence gave the venue an air of nobility.

The man who loved her was here. Her two children were here. Bianca might have lost her father, but she was still loved.

If she could spend the rest of her life with the man, there was nothing more that she would ask for.

Allison stood in a secluded corner. She took off her sunglasses and stared coldly at Kevin's portrait.

'Heh…'

The only stain in her life had died. There was nothing more to be afraid of, except for…

She narrowed her eyes and focused her gaze on Bianca!

No matter what it took, Allison would separate Bianca and her outstanding son!

Like an arrogant queen, Allison turned around and left…
