Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 251-Ferociously Biting Her Tender Lips

In the evening, the mourners who had come to pay Kevin their last respects had left. Only several people remained in the house.

The two children were hungry. Wanda brought them away for dinner.

Luke received an urgent call. He informed Bianca about it and hurriedly left.

Bianca was currently cleaning up the house.

The Rayne family house was a simple house with two rooms. She looked around her, finding her surroundings familiar yet foreign.

After all, she was only brought there when she was a teenager.

Memories of her father surfaced, though they were of somewhere else.

That was the time when Jennifer and her daughter had not moved in.

Whenever Kevin visited Bianca in the small town, he would carry her on his shoulders and call her "my dearest darling."

She remembered that she had a high fever when she was six years old, and she had faded in and out of consciousness.

Even the doctor was helpless.

She vaguely saw her father kneeling in front of the doctor and begging him to save his daughter.

She remembered how helpless and undignified her father was at that moment.

Perhaps fate had given her another chance at life. Her fever went away, and she miraculously survived.

Bianca had always known that her father loved her.

She knew her father's temperament. Her father might love her, but he was too timid to express it.

If her father had not loved her, he would not have bequeathed the house to her in his will.

However, it was exactly because of the house that Jennifer and her daughter had caused Kevin's death!

Bianca tried to suppress her emotions. She glanced at her father's portrait again.

She could feel a twinge in her nose. "Father…" she called out weakly.

Someone had left the house door unlocked. Xavier sneaked into the house; he had changed his clothes.

He grabbed Bianca's wrist and said coldly, "You'll have to follow me back today, Bianca."

He did not want to cause a scene at the funeral. However, he could not take it anymore, seeing how Bianca was happy with Luke and his children.

Bianca pulled her hand away and looked at him indifferently. "Keep your hands away from me. I don't know you that well."

A glimpse of sorrow flashed in Luke's eyes when he heard that. "You don't have to act so weirdly with me. Should I remind you again of the fact that I am your legally married husband?" 6

Bianca suddenly laughed.

Bianca was a beautiful woman. Her beauty might not be as glamorous and attractive as a blooming rose, but she was modest and refreshing like a lotus bud in a pond. Whenever she laughed, she carried a unique gentleness that differentiated her from other women.

Xavier's eyes flashed with passion.

He knew that Bianca was a treasure. When she was younger, she carried a callow beauty different from other women. Now that she was mature, she carried an irresistible charm. How could he give her away just like that?

Five years ago, he had lost her once.

Now that he had her in his clutches, he was not going to let go of her that easily, even if he had to bleed.

"Our farce of a marriage will be over soon," Bianca said as she calmly stared at him.

The air seemed to freeze at that instant.

Xavier's gaze turned turbulent. His eyes seemed to be coated with a thin layer of frost, and his handsome face began to tremble. He tightened his thin lips as though he was trying his best not to let his temper explode.

"You want a divorce, Bianca? You must be dreaming!" Xavier pinned Bianca on the table. His face was dangerously close to hers.

His gaze flashed with determination as he glared at her pale face. "Do you think you can successfully divorce me with Walter Long's help? So what if Walter Long has never lost a case? Not even God can help you as long as I choose to stay with you!"

Bianca was not in the mood to talk to him. She tried to push him away." Get lost…"

Xavier gripped her lower jaw and brought his face even closer. "I'd rather bind you to me with marriage than to let you go. Only death can part us!"

Bianca gasped in fear. She looked at him with utter disdain. "You've lost your mind, Xavier Tanner!"

Bianca's disdain seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Xavier chuckled and said, "Look at how animated you are now. I wonder… if you'll still react the same if I pin you on the bed?"

Slap!

Bianca's palm landed on Xavier’s cheek.

Xavier could not believe that Bianca had slapped him.

How dare she?

The veins on his forehead seemed to be bulging, and a layer of frost seemed to be gathering on his face.

He gripped Bianca’s lower jaw tightly again, the harshness of his gaze threatening to skin her alive. "Who do you think you are? You're nothing but used goods. Who gave you the nerve to hit me? Hm?"

Xavier had been spoiled since young. There was nothing that he wanted that he did not get.

Even after he grew up, he was the one who slapped others, and never the other way round. Who would dare lay a finger on him?

Now, the seemingly weak woman had slapped him. He would be the subject of ridicule if word got out!

He lifted his hand and prepared to teach the woman a lesson. When his eyes met with her defiant yet tearful gaze, he put his hand down, leaned forward, and devoured her lips.

He was like a ferocious beast, showing no mercy at all!

"Ugh… get… get lost…" Bianca was furious. She did not stop struggling.

Unfortunately for her, the man was much stronger. She could dodge his kisses, but she could not get away from his vice-like grip.

Kevin's portrait wordlessly looked at how his daughter was violated. Even the air was sighing in despair…

In her struggle, she toppled a porcelain vase that held a chrysanthemum.

The sound of the vase breaking attracted the attention of Wanda and the two children, who had just arrived downstairs.

Bianca's eyelashes fluttered. Her tear-filled eyes were glimmering with humiliation.

Just when tears began to fall again, Lanie dashed into the house.

When he saw that Xavier was bullying his mother, he pounced onto Xavier's leg and bit down! novelbin

The boy's sharp teeth pierced Xavier’s skin, i

Instantly, Xavier’s pants were stained with blood…

 

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 252-This Savage Whelp Is Indeed Luke's Son!

Even the usually docile Rainie was angry when she saw her Mommy bullied. She grabbed a mop that was conveniently nearby and smacked it on Xavier.

"Bad Uncle Xavier! You're a bully! I'll kill you!" She screamed out.

"Hiss!" Xavier felt the intense pain in his leg and let go of Bianca.

Bianca frantically ran away. Her eyes were brimming with hatred, and her lips were swollen and red with hints of blood on them.

She looked as though she was more than willing to murder Xavier.

Xavier licked his lips. His tongue was hurting.

If he did not let go of the woman, she might even have bitten off his tongue.

He looked down, and upon seeing that Lanie was still biting him, dragged the little boy away.

He rolled up his pants. Lanie seemed to have almost bitten off a piece of flesh from his leg.

'That savage whelp. He's indeed Luke's son!1 novelbin

Xavier glanced at Rainie. She was trembling with fear, but she continued to stand in front of Bianca holding the mop and baring her teeth as though protecting her mother.

He smiled.

'These two little whelps are interesting. They're as impulsive as my cousin Luke.'

Luke Crawford might seem like the noble, handsome, and elegant Prince Charming in many women's dreams, but he was actually a cruel and merciless man.

Luke's incredibly sharp perception and ruthless business tactics made even the most veteran swindler stay away from him. In a few years, he had brought T Corporation from the brink of ruin to never- before-seen heights.

T Corporation had its influence in all fields. The entire business world was subject to Luke's whim. The other businessmen called him "Cold-Faced Devil".

Lanie and Rainie stood holding hands in front of Bianca, protecting their mother and glaring at Xavier as though he was a wicked beast.

Bianca was moved by their children's gesture. She found the courage to stand upto Xavier.

Meanwhile, Wanda was thoroughly confused and did not know how to react.

As far as she knew, her niece was in a relationship with Luke.

That was what she gathered from what her niece told her.

However, at her brother's funeral, that man named Xavier Tanner had proclaimed himself to be Bianca's husband and had even shown her their marriage certificate. She did not know that her niece was married.

'If Bianca and that Xavier were legally married, then…

'What is her relationship with Luke?

'Is my niece having an extramarital affair?' "Go away now, Xavier Tanner. The Rayne family does not welcome you! I'll divorce you for sure!” Bianca said determinedly.

"Do you think that the Crawford family will accept you for who you are after we're divorced, Bianca? Old Master Crawford cares about the family reputation a lot. Do you think that he'll accept used goods like you? Stop dreaming! I'd rather die with you than let you go. Just you wait, I'll make sure that you return to the Tanner family with me." Xavier had lost all reason.

He took a napkin and wiped away the blood on the corner of his lips. Then, he scrunched the red napkin into a ball and tossed it into the trash can.

He turned around and slammed the door on his way out.

Wanda was startled by the sound the door made. She came to her senses when she saw her niece's pale complexion.

"Are you OK, Bianca?" She asked worriedly. "What's going on with that man? Aren't you in a relationship with Luke Crawford? Since when are you his wife? You've never told me that you're married. Should I give a call to Luke…"

Bianca shook her head. She seemed lethargic. "I'll tell you about it next time, Aunt Wanda. I just want to rest now."

So many things happened. The repeated blows to her psyche had caused her to be weary.

All she wanted now was some peace.

"Alright, go and take a rest. I'll do the cleaning up." Wanda felt sorry for Bianca when she saw how tired her niece was.

As she helped her niece walk to the bedroom, her heart ached when she held Bianca's emaciated arm.

Now that her brother was gone, her only relations were her niece Bianca and the two cute children.

She would be gone soon, too. When that happened, what would happen to Bianca and her children?

The two children stayed next to their mother. They knew that she was not feeling well.

Bianca closed her eyes and rested on the bed. The ache in her chest was spreading.

Lanie and Rainie lay on each side of their mother and held the hem of her shirt, afraid that she might leave anytime.

She hugged her two children tightly as though they were her only salvation.

Xavier's words echoed in her brain. They might sound harsh, but they were the truth.

The Crawford family's status was at the pinnacle of A City. Even if she were not married, her status was still far below Luke's.

Luke might not care about what other people thought and insist on marry her, but to everyone else, she was only a fool.

What should she do?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.

Everyone in attendance at the dinner was an important person in A City.

Luke was familiar with many of them. There were also several people whom he had just met.

Earlier, he had received a phone call inviting him to the dinner. He was reluctant to come, and currently, he was feeling very annoyed.

Bianca needed his companionship, but he could not be by her side. That made him feel guilty.

A man in his fifties sat in the middle of the hall. His gaze was sharp and he carried himself imperiously. He was none other than Jack Norman, the Provincial Committee Secretary.

Next to him was an elegantly dressed young woman who had been making him laugh. She was Leia Norman, her daughter.

Leia stared at Luke with an infatuated gaze. Under the lights, the curves and lines of his face and body were as perfect as a sculpture.

At present, Luke seemed to be listening attentively to Jack's speech.

His eyes were animated and eye-catching, and the corners of his lips seemed to be curled up in a faint smile.

She was thoroughly obsessed with that man, and she swore that she would claim him no matter what.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 253-Missing Bianca At Home

Jack sized up the man who had claimed his daughter's heart. The man was robust and mature. He looked like a man who had succeeded in life.

Furthermore, the man knew that he was the Provincial Committee Secretary but had no intention of sucking up to him. He was polite but kept his distance.

Jack nodded in satisfaction. Luke was a man worthy of Leia's affection. If his daughter wanted him, then he would do his best to fulfill her wishes.

After Jack introduced Leia to Luke, he asked, "I've heard that the CEO of T Corporation is a man of many talents, and now that I've met you, that seems to be the case. I wonder if you are married?" 'I'm not married, but I have two five-year-old children.’

Every gesture that Luke made caused Leia to swoon.

Jack was slightly disappointed when he heard that Luke had two children.

However, he did not mind that, seeing how infatuated his daughter was and considering the wealth and influence Luke wielded. If he married Leia, then she could eventually give birth to her own children.

Luke's wealth would be able to sustain as many children as they wanted.

Meanwhile, Leia was in a daze as her eyes were transfixed on Luke.

She wore light make-up tonight.

She knew that Luke was more fond of women without too much make-up and that she had to present an elegant appearance to Luke. She knew how to dress up to accentuate the curves of her body.

Leia was dressed in a silk evening gown. It was modest and elegant but at the same time carried a hint of allure. With her light make-up, she looked very feminine.

Looking at how the other men at the same table had regarded her, she knew that she was an attractive woman tonight.

Leia held her father's arm and smiled gently. "Mr. Crawford, I've heard from my agent that T Corporation is involved in many businesses. One of the perfumes under your brand is looking for a new spokesperson. I'd like to know if I'm qualified?" novelbin

Leia knew how to present her most seductive side.

When looking at a man she was interested in, she would not look at him straight in the eye. Instead, she would glance at him from the corner of her eye to increase her charm.

She also remembered to present the sweetest smile she could.

That was how she had captivated the hearts of many men, then left abruptly, leaving them heartbroken.

Luke glanced at her indifferently. "You are a beautiful woman, Ms. Norman, and that is why you're so popular in the entertainment circle. If you would like to be the spokesperson of our brand, you don't even have to rely on your father's connections. I believe it will be very easy for you to be selected, just by your appearance and talents alone."

The other guests at the dinner also voiced their agreement.

"If you're the spokesperson of the perfume, many celebrities will definitely buy it!" 'That's right, Ms. Norman. Your beauty is outstanding. I've watched the movie you starred in. You're a real diva for getting an award in your movie debut!"

Those people held political positions in the city, and they were very good at flattery.

Everyone knew that Leia Norman was a horrible actor.

Her performance in her debut role was indeed spectacular, but that was because the director knew how to utilize her experience in her role.

Leia was raised in an orphanage. That was how she was able to portray her role in the movie perfectly.

However, she was terrible at other roles.

Her next movie in which she held a starring role was "A War of Seven Nations."

The movie enjoyed a star-studded cast. Not only were Theo Shaddock, the popular movie star, and Sean Lannery, the veteran actor cast to be the male leads, but a veteran actress was also paid ten million dollars to be Leia Norman's supporting role.

Those celebrities were cast to boost Leia's popularity.

However, the movie bombed hard at the box office.

Leia's stiff and embarrassing acting was perhaps not the biggest reason. The plot was convoluted and was described by comments as "an earth- shakingly bad movie." It had a rating of 3.9 on IMDB. Many celebrities' careers were ruined.

Leia was relatively unaffected. She had strong backing from her family.

Even though her acting skills were sorely lacking, she continued to receive acting roles in many movies.

The guests at the dinner knew that if they could gain Leia's favor, it would be easier for them to forge relationships with Jack.

Leia was secretly delighted when she heard the flattery.

However, she reacted modestly, "It's nothing. Acting is my passion. It's all thanks to Dad that I manage to find a foothold in the entertainment industry."

Luke was a shrewd man, and he knew about the intricacies of relationships. He would rather not call Leia out in public.

T Corporation had invited international celebrities to be their spokespeople so that they could present a global image. Using Leia as the spokesperson would lower their standing.

However, with Jack Norman around, Luke could not directly say no. He was not in a position to offend Jack yet.

After all, it was fine if he let Leia be the brand spokesperson. The company could afford to suffer the financial losses.

That was because he would gain those losses back from his relationship with Jack Norman.

Jack patted his daughter’s hand and turned to speak to Luke. "I only have a daughter, and I admit that I've spoiled her. No matter what she wants, I'll support her with all I can. If Leia can be the spokesperson of that perfume, you'll have to take good care of her." "Mr. Crawford is a gentleman, Dad. He’ll know what to do,” Leia said, as though she was already sure to be the brand spokesperson.

Goosebumps rose on Luke's skin when he heard Leia's cloying voice.

Suddenly, he missed Bianca's sweet and flowing voice…

However, he smiled diplomatically. "It's an honor that you can be the spokesperson of our brand, Ms. Norman."

Jack laughed heartily. "Good! Well, I'll leave it up to you young ones now."

Luke smiled discreetly, and his gaze sharpened. "Right, Mr. Norman. My company has tendered our proposal about the seaside resort development project, and we are still waiting for approval from the Environmental Protection Agency. It seems it's taking a long time this time. I wonder if there's a change in protocol?"

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 254-I'll Shelter You From the Wind and the Rain

Jack placed his wine glass on the table when he heard Luke's words.

His face was slightly red from the alcohol. "Don't worry, Luke. I'll get my men on the case. You'll receive the approval tomorrow. Remember, take good care of my daughter."

The more Jack looked at Luke, the more satisfied he was. From their conversation, he could understand that Luke was a shrewd and assertive man and would be the perfect son-in-law.

Jack had addressed him as "Mr. Crawford" earlier, but it was now "Luke."

Everyone who heard that knew that Jack was trying to play matchmaker.

Those people looked enviously at Luke. In a mere few sentences, Luke had won the rights to develop the seaside resort worth tens of billions of dollars.

However, they knew that they were no match for Luke's handsome looks and sharp business acumen.

Even though they might be envious, they knew that Luke deserved it.

"Congratulations, Mr. Crawford! With this development project in your bag, T Corporation will be pushed to greater heights," a balding middle-aged man praised him.

"Mr. Crawford, you are a rare business prodigy. You've led your company to record profits. I admit that I'm no match for you!" Another pot-bellied man in a business suit also said.

Luke flashed an ambiguous smile and raised his glass toward Jack. "Thank you for your approval, Mr. Norman. I will make sure that the seaside resort can bring the most benefit to the city."

Of course, he did not mention anything about taking care of Leia.

He knew that the dinner would be one that was fraught with lies.

However, he was surprised that Jack seemed to be trying to match Leia with him.

After all, he never had any interaction with Leia. All he knew about her was her name and how she could not be any more popular despite the resources poured into publicity efforts.

The only woman whom he loved was Bianca Rayne. He had never been interested in any other woman, much less a pretentious one like Leia Norman.

Running his company for many years had honed his perception. He could tell from the first glance at Leia's eyes that she was oozing with ambition.

He was not going to let her close to him. If anything, he would want to keep her away as far as possible.

However, Leia did not know what Luke was thinking. She was very happy at the moment.

Love and tenderness brimmed from her eyes as her eyes were transfixed on Luke.

Now that Luke had given her the assurance, her chances of scoring the spokesperson role were almost one hundred percent.

She knew that Luke only agreed to it because of her father, but what about it? If she could interact more often with Luke, she was confident that she would eventually win his heart.

Late at night.

Bianca put the two children to bed. She curled up on the couch in the living room, reading a book.

The dim yellow light illuminated Bianca's gentle and beautiful face. It was a tranquil scene.

Currently, she was lost in the pages of the book.

It was a story of love and lust, and sin and redemption. The male and female lead characters were siblings of different mothers.

"This is not a love story, but a story about love." That was how Bonnie, the female lead character, had opened the book, i

Lewis, the male lead character, was deeply in love with Bonnie. However, they were forced to separate under the pressure of morality and public opinion, i

In the end, Lewis held a cup of poisoned coffee and stood in front of Bonnie. "I love you, Bonnie. I don't care if you're a good person or a bad person. I love you for who you are," he said to her sorrowfully.

He downed the poisoned drink without any hesitation, even though knowing that his life would immediately end.

Bianca felt down after finishing the story.

Original sin. That was the origin of love and lust.

Love was instinctual, but incestuous love was a sin.

If she and Luke were siblings of a different father, would she suffer divine punishment?

Her greatest comfort was that her two children were cute and healthy.

She could not believe Allison's words.

However, she had to do the DNA test with Allison, to confirm that she was indeed not Allison's daughter. 1

Someone had said that love was like a sickness. So was that why she felt like dying?

If she had to be separated from Luke, she imagined that she would fall into endless despair.

Suddenly, she felt that she was enveloped in a warm embrace.

Luke was not his usual cold and aloof self. Instead, his eyes were brimming with care and tenderness. "You're already a mother now. Why are you still so melancholic?"

Luke was worried whenever Bianca cried.

She might look delicate and lovely, just like in Lord Byron's poem: novelbin

I saw thee weep-the big bright tear

Came o'er that eye of blue;

And then methought it did appear A violet dropping dew.

Bianca's tears were indeed beautiful and endearing like dewdrops from a violet. However, Luke preferred to see Bianca's smile. That was more beautiful than a flower petal that had been kissed by an angel.

Bianca stopped her tears and gazed at Luke's face.

He smelled of alcohol, and his expensive shirt was crumpled. His short hair covered his forehead, and he looked tired.

Even so, his sculpted face was filled with tenderness as he comforted her.

Bianca could only feel warmth.

She helped him undo his tie, then tiptoed and hugged his neck. "I'm afraid that our peaceful life will be disrupted. I'm afraid that we will be separated. I'm afraid that our children will suffer because of us. I'm afraid about all these unknowns…"

Luke gently held her icy hand and warmed it in his palm. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eye. "I'm here for you, silly. I'll shelter you and the children from the wind and rain. All you have to do is take care of the children and give them the mother's love they have lost in the past. Leave everything else to me."

Bianca stared into the man's eyes. His hands were clutching hers.

Her skin was the color of snow, while his skin was the color of bronze. The contrast was stark but in harmony.

The man's hands were as warm as his smile. Bianca's world brightened…

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 255-Luke Is Wildly Aroused

Bianca could feel that a hole in her heart was being filled up with bliss.

Luke was hugging her tightly.

She could hear the strong rhythm of the man's heartbeat. It was beating in sync with hers.

Luke's lips gently fell on hers. novelbin

Bianca was already the mother of two children, but she seemed to retain her charming inexperience. Her body emanated a sweet fragrance, and that had greatly titillated Luke.

"Mmh… Luke…" Bianca's body was going limp because of Luke's teasing. She came to her senses and pushed Luke away so that he did not go overboard. "You can't do it here. This is the living room… You must also be tired. Go and take a shower first."

Bianca, Wanda, and the two children were staying the night in Kevin's house.

Not only was the living room, which had been the venue for the funeral earlier, not suitable for vigorous exercise, but Aunt Wanda, who was sleeping in one of the rooms, might suddenly wake up…

If Wanda caught them in the act, that would have been more than awkward

Luke also knew that their current location was not suitable for intimacy. He heavily nibbled Bianca's supple lips and appreciated the fair and delicate skin of the woman he loved.

After the intense kissing earlier, Bianca's face was tinged with a shade of red.

Her eyes that were as clear as spring water flashed with a hint of passion, and she bit her lower lip. How could someone who looked so angelic be so seductive at the same time?

Luke stroked her smooth cheek, trying hard to keep his urges down. "I've been busy the entire day. Don't you feel any pity for me? Shall we take a bath together? Hm?"

Bianca blushed even harder.

"Stop messing around, Luke…"

Luke knew that Bianca was easily embarrassed, and he stopped teasing her. After all, he was quite tired. He kissed her once more, then went into the bathroom, took off his coat, and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the solid muscle underneath.

His figure was as sculpted as an international male model. Any woman would go crazy over his body…

Near midnight, Luke came out of the bathroom and walked gently to the bedroom.

Under the dim light, he could see the tranquil sleeping faces of Bianca and the two children.

Seeing how the two children have a faint resemblance to their mother gave him warmth.

At that moment, he could feel that all was well with the world.

Luke gently climbed onto the bed and hugged Bianca and the two children with his arms. All his urges disappeared at that instant, and he realized that the warmth that a complete family provided was much more satisfying than sex.

Bianca was a light sleeper. She could feel the heat he emanated as he got nearer.

Instantly, she woke up from her dream.

She felt her mouth become dry when she looked at the sculpted muscles of the man's topless body.

She subconsciously leaned closer to the children and coughed gently." Have you had your shower? You should rest soon. You still need to go to work tomorrow."

Luke noticed Bianca’s little gesture. Without saying a word, he hugged her tighter. His profound gaze was like an ancient pool of water, rippling under the moonlight and returning to calmness.

It was silent and mysterious, yet unfathomably deep.

Bianca could see the desires in Luke's eyes, even though he did not say a word and instead silently looked at her. She began to feel uneasy.

After experiencing it several times, she knew that the man would morph into a beast when overcome by urges.

With the two children on the same bed, she could not allow him to do whatever he wanted. She gulped cautiously and reminded him again, "It's already late. You should sleep…" "Mm," Luke replied with his low and resonant voice.

Water droplets seemed to gather at the tips of his hair. He looked refreshing… and sexy.

Luke caressed Bianca's hair as though he was appreciating a piece of fine silk. "Jennifer and Marie's court trial should begin on the 7th of next month. What do you intend to do?"

Luke's impression toward the mother and daughter was thoroughly negative. He thought that just looking at them would degrade him. As much as he would like to off the mother and daughter directly, he wanted to seek Bianca's opinion first.

Bianca calmed down unexpectedly when Jennifer and Marie were mentioned. "They were the ones who caused my father’s death. They'll have to pay." "Alright. I'll support your decision no matter what it

is. However, before the trial, I will have to remove Xavier from the picture. I want to give you a status, Bianca. I want you to be my wife and Lanie and Rainie's mother," Luke promised her.

Bianca's faint body scent was like blooming osmanthus flowers.

Her scent tickled his nostrils, causing his urges to flare.

As Bianca looked at him with her clear eyes, she could feel a warm current coursing through her body.

However, she suddenly remembered Allison's words. "Your mother said that we're siblings of different fathers. We'll be defying social norms if we go together. You should know that we can't be married. I don't think you know that my mother is indeed my father's ex-wife, and they've spent some time together…"

Luke frowned when he heard that.

When Allison met Bianca at her rental house earlier, Luke could hear from their conversation that something was amiss. He wanted to investigate it, but he had shelved that idea since he was busy with work.

However, he could guess the reasons and the outcomes.

He caressed Bianca's cheeks and landed a gentle kiss on her forehead." Silly girl, do you actually believe what my mother says? Think about it. If we're really siblings, how could you give birth to two healthy, cute, and intelligent babies? You don't have to worry about anything else, Bianca. Just follow your heart, and I'll take care of the rest." "But…"

Bianca wanted to say something when Luke's fingers lifted her chin and his lips pressed down heavily on hers. "You're talking too much. I don't mind doing some exercise before we sleep."

Luke flipped over and pinned Bianca underneath him.

Bianca felt as though her bones were being crushed into powder, though he continued to press downward as though intending to fuse his body with hers. The object between his legs was as hard as steel, pressing against the most vulnerable spot of Bianca's body.

Bianca was shocked. No… not now… the kids are asleep…" She said softly.

"Don't worry. They're heavy sleepers." Luke wanted to tear away Bianca's pajamas right now.

Just when the man was about to breach the gates, he could suddenly hear a crisp and young voice. "Daddy? Why are you on top of Mommy?" 1

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 256-Daddy, Why Are You Riding On Top of Mommy?

Upon hearing that childish voice, Luke almost immediately went limp.

Lanie and Rainie had woken up some time ago. Their eyes were open wide, looking at Daddy and Mommy curiously.

Luke hastily got off Bianca's body and covered themselves with a silk blanket.

Bianca was thoroughly embarrassed. She wished that the earth would swallow her up at that instant.

Luke was both frustrated and angry when the two children had interrupted their session. However, looking at their curious and doubtful faces, he could not release his anger on them.

"Daddy, why were you riding on Mommy?"

Rainie said while looking inquisitively at Bianca, who was going to cover her face with the blanket.

Meanwhile, Lanie glared at Luke with his beautiful eyes.

He noticed that his mother's face and eyes were red…

Lanie pointed at Luke with a plump finger and shouted, "You're so heavy, Daddy, yet you're riding on Mommy. Are you bullying Mommy?"

A stifled scream from Bianca had woken him up earlier. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Daddy's body was on top of Mommy.

'How can Daddy do that?

'Mommy is so gentle, and she isn't feeling well. Daddy is so big and heavy. He shouldn't lie on top of Mommy!'

Somehow, Luke was feeling quite embarrassed.

Usually, not even a thunderstorm would wake the two children. Now that he wanted to share some intimacy with Bianca on the bed, the two children had caught them in the act.

"Daddy wasn't bullying me earlier. I felt a little cold, and that's why Daddy pretended to be a blanket and covered me… Be good children and go to bed. You have school tomorrow," Bianca said unconfidently.

Lanie and Rainie got up, carefully checked Bianca for any bruises, and waved their little fists at Daddy as a warning to not bully Mommy. Bianca coaxed them for a while more before they drifted off to dreamland once again…

Luke did not know how to react to that.

Bianca had supplanted his position in the household. novelbin

He was not jealous of that. In fact, he was happy that Bianca had become an important person to the two children. It meant that Bianca had successfully won over the children's approval.

"Come here…"

Now that the two children were asleep again, Luke wanted to bring Bianca into his arms.

Before he could even touch Bianca's clothes, the usually gentle rabbit kicked him between his legs.

Luke was caught unawares, and he gasped in pain.

Bianca's eyes were full of disdain. "Don't touch me for the next month."

She turned around, hugged the two children, and closed her eyes.

Luke looked at Bianca's back. He would lose his mind if he could not touch her for the next month.

Now that he had tasted Bianca and was used to doing it whenever he liked, was he going to survive living as an ascetic?

Luke decided that he would make a new room for the children, and it would be placed as far away from their room as possible!

On the other end of the city.

In a nightclub shrouded by the darkness of the night and the blinding neon lights, men and women moved and swayed to the beat of the music and the flashes of the strobe light. Their bodies grazed against each other, creating sparks of passion.

Xavier meandered amid the dance floor, accepting the advances of the women who threw themselves at him. He was half-drunk, and he looked like a playboy.

'See? Women still want me. I don't even need to go after them.

'All the women here are charming and seductive. Most importantly, they are obedient, and they love me.

'Who does Bianca think she is?

'What does she have, other than that pure face?

'Not only she doesn't know how to win a man's heart, but she also gave birth to two children to my cousin. She's only used goods and doesn't even deserve to be a footstool, so why do I insist on not letting her go?1

Xavier retreated from the dance floor, hugging a sexy woman in each of his arms, and sat down at the bar counter.

The bartender quickly handed each of them a cocktail. "Here are your drinks, Boss…”

Xavier drunkenly pinched the cheek of the woman who was sitting on his lap, then fondled the arm of the curly-haired beauty sitting next to her.

"Tell me, do you love me?" He asked cynically.

"Of course! You're prettier than me. I love you just forthat face alone!" The sexy woman giggled and told Xavier.

The other woman did not admit defeat. She landed a heavy kiss on Xavier's cheek. "You've always been generous, Xavier. We all love you!"

Xavier laughed heartily. He was about to make his next move when he heard the sounds of beer bottles breaking and the shriek of a woman.

He narrowed his eyes and saw several hooligans bullying a beautiful woman in a tight white top and a micro mini-skirt.

Xavier was already feeling horrible, but that made his mood worse. His usually-smiling slit eyes flashed with darkness and savagery…

How dare someone cause trouble on Xavier Tanner's turf?

He waved his hand, and the security guards moved into action. He did not have to bother himself with minor incidents like that, but he was in a bad mood, and he needed a place to vent his anger.

In a short while, the hooligans scattered and ran away in all directions.

Xavier was terrifying when he was on his violent rampage. He did not seem to care about the consequences.

Spilling blood was not enough. He looked as though he would not rest until those hooligans were dead.

The other guests in the immediate vicinity had run somewhere else, though the woman who had just been saved stood there indifferently.

The woman was in her mid-twenties. She was tall and slender, and though her face was pale, she carried a domineering and frigid presence.

Blood was still dripping from Xavier's arm. He looked dazedly at the woman standing in front of him.

‘Who is she?

'Why does she look familiar?'

A thought flashed in his drunken mind, and he grinned.

'So it's her.

'That's Walter Long's ex-girlfriend, whom he had devoted his life to…

'Her name is… Shandra Cullen.'

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 257-How Would You Feel If That Happened To You?

Xavier sat at the bar counter under the dim lights, helping himself to a glass of dark red liquid. His injured arm was wrapped in bandages.

His thick eyelashes obscured the violence in his eyes.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Tanner. You can contact me if you need anything." The woman sitting in front of him handed a name card to Xavier.

Xavier took the card. Eminent Advocates & Solicitors.

Shandra Cullen. Senior Lawyer.

Memories of the past came back.

Back then, Xavier went to the same university as Walter and Shandra.

Walter and Shandra were ace students of the law college, and they were also known to be a couple.

Their relationship lasted through all four years in college.

For some reason, they broke up after graduation. Shandra left the country, and no one knew what happened to her. Walter drowned himself in alcohol for a period and eventually resumed his normal life.

"What a coincidence, Ms. Cullen. I happen to be in the middle of a difficult case. I've devoted my life to my wife, but my wife wants to leave me for another man. I'm not willing to agree to the divorce. I’d like to hire you to be my lawyer for this case. You can name your price," Xavier said.

"Mr. Tanner, you should know that you can't force someone to love you. Many women are willing to flock to you for your status, so why would you waste your time and effort on a woman who doesn't love

you?" Shandra said indifferently.

"I'm sure that you've been in love before, Ms. Cullen, and you should know how it feels to love someone. It's like seeing a cake in a bakery's display, and you want to eat it very much, but the storekeeper tells you that the cake has been sold to someone else, and the baker has already passed away, so there's no way that you'll be able to taste it. You're frustrated that you can't taste it, even though you've fantasized countless times how it would taste like. One day, you find someone else eating the cake that you have been obsessed with. How would you feel if that happened?"

Shandra smiled, took a drag of her cigarette, and elegantly blew a smoke ring. "You must be joking, Mr. Tanner. There are so many equally delicious cakes in this world, and you can afford to pay for any of them."

Xavier glanced at Shandra and said, "Do you know who is my wife's lawyer, Ms. Cullen? His name is Walter Long, the renowned lawyer…"

Walter Long was indeed a luminary among lawyers.

He was the lawyer in many influential cases, such as a property dispute between the CEO of a major company and his wife, the first divorce proceedings involving billionaires in South City, and various child custody cases and property disputes among the wealthy and influential.

He had never lost a case.

A hint of disdain flashed in Shandra's eyes when Walter's name was mentioned, though she soon resumed her composure.

"Alright, I'll take the case," Shandra said.

The woman tapped the bar counter rhythmically with her fingers, and she slowly closed her eyes.

'Walter Long, I'll take back everything that you've taken from me!'

Xavier smiled like a cunning fox.

'You want a divorce, Bianca?

'No chance in hell!'

Early next morning.

After breakfast, Luke went to the company. Jason arrived to pick up the two children, but they insisted on getting Mommy to bring them to school.

Bianca could not bear to let her children down and agreed to bring them to school herself.

The two children went to a high-class kindergarten. Not only it taught

English, French, and German, it also emphasized on holistic development of a child's talents.

The kindergarten occupied a vast area. It included a swimming pool, several wading pools, a vegetable garden, an aviary, and several play areas and workshops.

The children's meals were prepared by a professional nutritionist.

Luxury cars were a common sight at the front gate.

If one was lucky, they might even spot a celebrity bringing their children to school.

Bianca witnessed a scene that morning that made her feel down.

A plump boy pulled on the hem of his grandfather's shirt. "I don't wanna go to school, Grandpa, I wanna go home…" he wailed.

The old man looked at his grandson, feeling utterly embarrassed. "School is fun, right? You can have so many friends here…" he tried to persuade the little boy. novelbin

A middle-aged mother smiled and told the old man, "You can't be too soft with them. Kids are all the same when they first go to school. They'll eventually get used to it."

Bianca lowered her head and looked at the two children that were holding hands with her.

They were quietly observing the scene. Bianca wondered what they were thinking.

She also felt sorry for them. Were Lanie and Rainie like that on their first day of school?

She held Lanie and Rainie's hands tightly, and as they walked past the crying boy, she sighed.

The teacher of the class was a gentle woman.

When she saw Bianca bringing the children to school and found out that she was their mother, she exclaimed, "You're a beautiful woman. No wonder your children are so good-looking."

Bianca smiled politely.

After seating the children in the classroom, Bianca did not immediately leave. Instead, she stood at the window, silently observing their children's behavior in school.

Lanie and Rainie were very good-looking indeed. They stood out among the crowd.

Lanie was more introverted. He did not talk much in class, and he usually wore a serious face.

He sat straight and listened attentively to the teacher. Bianca thought that he looked a lot like his father.

She shook her head helplessly.

'I guess this is what people mean when they say 'Like father, like son'…'

Rainie was the cheerful and extroverted one. She was like a little celebrity.

Not only did she have good grades, but she also knew how to sing and dance. All the children in the class seemed to like her.

She was like a sun that emanated heat and warmth to the people around her…

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 258-Luke’s Birthday

Lanie was feeling unhappy. He did not want to stay in class.

He was a precocious child, and he learned very quickly.

His father had hired a personal tutor for him, and his intelligence was at the level of an elementary student.

However, he had to remain in that class so that he could accompany his sister.

Lanie thought that the teacher on the podium and the other children in the class were silly.

He did not like how they wagged their heads when they spoke. Rainie did the same too, but she was his sister.

He also thought that the teachers did not sing well. He would rather listen to his mother hum tunes to him and Rainie. He did not want to learn from the teacher.

He had memorized the French song after listening to it twice.

Unfortunately, the other children in the class had not picked it up, and the French teacher had to repeat it again and again.

Lanie kept his lips tightly pressed together as he looked at the French teacher patiently repeat the song one more time.

He felt uneasy when he saw their mouths open and close, and their childish voices formed a discordant chorus.

He turned his head and looked at Rainie. She was attentively repeating after the French teacher.

Her voice was shrill and young, but it was clear and melodic. He could easily pick out her voice from the other children in the class.

Lanie frowned.

If not that he was worried that the other children in the class might bully her, he would not want to attend kindergarten.

Suddenly, Lanie's eyes sparkled, and he came to life.

He saw that Bianca was standing outside the window, looking at him and Rainie with a gentle smile on her face.

"Mommy!" Lanie blurted in his surprise. However, his voice was drowned by the singing voices.

Bianca could not hear his voice, but she could guess what he was saying from his mouth shapes.

She placed her index finger on her lips, instructing him to be quiet.

Then, she pointed at Rainie, the teacher, and the other children, telling him to sing along with the French teacher.

Lanie frowned and shook his head.

Bianca smiled, though she pretended to be angry.

Lanie pouted. Then, he opened his mouth slightly and started singing the song with the rest of the children.

Bianca smiled and shook her head when she saw Lanie's reluctant expression.

After ensuring that her children were well-suited to school life, she took a cab and went to the company.

After all, it was not too appropriate for a new employee like her to take too many days off.

At the company.

Bianca stepped into the design department and saw that everyone else was at their desks working diligently.

Several well-informed female colleagues were surprised to see her arrive at the office.

As Bianca walked to her desk, she could sense that some of her colleagues were pointing at her and whispering among themselves.

"Sigh, I'd like to be so close to the boss too! Then I can come to work whenever I like…" "Too bad you don't have a pretty face like her!"

Bianca did not say anything. She sat in front of her desk, turned on the computer, and ignored the whispers.

Even though she might look calm, she nevertheless felt some unease.

After all, no one wished to be the subject of gossip.

Sue deliberately coughed, and the whispers stopped. novelbin

She walked over and patted Bianca’s shoulder. "Don't pay too much attention to them. They're gossiping because they have nothing better to do. You should just focus on your work."

Bianca smiled gratefully at Sue when suddenly she heard the door open abruptly.

Clack, clack, clack. A pair of white three-inch high heels stepped rhythmically on the floor.

The woman was dressed in a white office suit. She was walking toward Bianca while holding a folder.

The woman carried a unique aura. She looked beautiful and charming, but her chin was lifted high, and her gaze was arrogant.

"Are you Bianca Rayne?" The woman towered above Bianca and asked her.

"Bianca, this is Mavis Laviere. She had been transferred here from an overseas subsidiary and is the supervisor of our design department." Sue gently elbowed Bianca and filled her up on who the unfamiliar woman was.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Laviere…" Bianca hastily stood up from her chair and extended her hand.

Mavis Laviere's name was well-known in the international design industry. Bianca had always admired her.

Mavis had graduated with a double master's degree in architecture from MIT, and she had won numerous awards in international design competitions.

Bianca was very excited to meet her idol.

She did not expect that the renowned Mavis Laviere was so young and was in A City…

Mavis shot a glance at Bianca but did not respond to Bianc's offer of a handshake.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward.

Mavis flung the folder onto Bianca's desk. "I don't care who was the one who hired you, Bianca, but if you're in the design department, you have to follow the rules. I've checked your attendance record, and you've come to work for less than two weeks in the past month. Do you think your father runs this company?"

Mavis's attitude was assertive and domineering.

"I've followed all standard procedures when applying for a leave of absence, Ms. Laviere," Bianca replied after Mavis was done speaking.

Nina, sitting two desks away, raised her hand and interjected. "Yes, Ms. Laviere, I've submitted her requests, and the department lead has approved them."

Mavis shot a withering glance at Nina and said, "Next time, submit your requests through me. That will be the new rule, and everyone is expected to follow it. You will receive no bonus this month, Bianca."

Mavis did not stay there for too long. After she spoke, she turned around and went into her office.

Bianca was in a daze as she looked at Mavis. Somehow, she could feel a sense of enmity from her supervisor's eyes…

'Enmity?

'Was that enmity?

‘This is the first time I'm meeting her. There's no reason for her to pick on me…'

Bianca stashed away that thought. She returned to her seat and continued working.

Some people looked at Bianca with pity, while others gloated.

Nina came over to Bianca's desk on her swivel chair. "Are you OK, Bianca?"

Bianca did not seem affected by the incident earlier. She smiled at Nina and said, "I'm fine."

Nina continued, "Right, the work email password of the design department has changed. It's 120886."

Bianca was taken aback when she heard that string of numbers.

'Aren't those numbers…

'Luke's birthday?'

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 259-The Boss Went Into Bianca's Room and Didn’t Come Out Until the Next Morning…

The reason why Bianca remembered that string of numbers so well was because, in one of their make- out sessions, she had asked him about his birthday.

She was in the throes of ecstasy when the man whispered those numbers into her ear repeatedly and forced her to commit those six digits to memory.

"What's wrong, Bianca?" Nina was confused.

Very few people knew about Luke's personal life.

That was why the majority of the workers in the company did not know about Luke's birthday. It was also not available on the Internet.

"It's nothing. Why is the password changed?" She asked curiously.

"I don't know. In any case, the password changed when the new supervisor came in. Who knows what she's thinking? I have to admit that I don't like her though. She's too domineering like a bully. I guess she's been putting up a humble guise in those TV interviews," Nina could not help but tell Bianca her opinion of the new supervisor.

'Well, she has the talent and fame to be a bully. Whatever. We'll save the talk for later." Bianca returned to her work.

Nina was a candid person, but it meant that she would easily offend other people.

However, she had been changing her attitude ever since she started working.

Nina noticed that Bianca was studying other designs and told her, "I have some designs from the seniors. You can study those instead. You'll have to study the company's previous designs if you want to blend in. I'll send some notable projects to your work email."

Bianca nodded to her as a sign of thanks.

Even though Bianca had managed to find a spot in T Corporation, she had to continuously improve herself to keep up with the incredible pool of talent. If she wanted to flaunt her own style, she would have to rely on her abilities and be a better designer.

Meanwhile, in Mavis's well-decorated personal office.

Mavis sat in front of the computer holding a design document in her hand.

One of the corners of the document was crumpled and dog-eared.

She had only been overseas for a short period, but she had found out from her spy that Luke was having an ambiguous relationship with one of the new employees.

It was said that Luke took very good care of his cousin's wife. In fact, he had even gotten physical a few times because of her.

He had rejected Yvonne Gideon, the marriage candidate that his mother had selected for him so that he could be with that woman…

The rumors sounded incredulous, but Mavis was nonetheless uneasy.

She had desired that man for a very long time, so how was she going to allow another woman to claim his heart? 2

Mavis was not bothered by those women who had devoted themselves to him. She knew that Luke hated those women and would not reciprocate their advances.

However, she could feel that Bianca was a real threat.

Her feminine instincts told her that there was more to Bianca than meets the eye.

"Ms. Laviere." The design department lead came into the office with a steaming hot cup of coffee.

She was Mavis's spy in T Corporation. She would observe Luke's movements and report them to Mavis.

However, no one knew what Luke's personal life was like. Even the spy could only find hints and scraps of information from rumors and gossip.

Mavis massaged her temples and indicated to the department lead to put the cup on the table. "What's the identity of that Bianca?" She asked.

The department lead remembered the trouble that Bianca had caused her, and she spilled everything that she knew about that woman.

"Ms. Laviere, you might not know that Bianca was brought into the company personally by the boss. She doesn’t have any abilities, she comes to work whenever she likes, but no one dares to call her out… Last month, when our team went to the small town, a colleague saw the boss going into Bianca's room and did not come out until the next morning. The next day, everyone could see that the wench had been ravished. Even her neck was full of hickeys. How shameless…" She might have exaggerated some parts of her story.

The department lead felt smug and happy as she saw how Mavis's expression sank.

She had sided with Yvonne and bullied Bianca based on the fact that Yvonne was Allison's chosen candidate for Luke's wife. Unfortunately, that worthless Yvonne was nowhere to be found… novelbin

She was afraid that Bianca would seek revenge on her and cause her to lose her job.

Unexpectedly, Mavis returned to the country.

The design department lead obtained her post because she knew how to gain Mavis's favor. That was how she had become Mavis's confidant and spy in the company.

Thinking of that, the department lead became even more eager.

She wanted to continue gossiping about Bianca, but Mavis waved her hand in annoyance and instructed her to leave the office.

The department lead sheepishly went away.

Mavis took the document in her hands again and tried to suppress her anger.

Then, she put on an indifferent expression.

She got up from her chair, left the office, went up to the CEO's office on the top floor, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The man answered crisply.

Mavis's eyes were instantly attracted to the man sitting in front of his table working. He carried a magnetic presence. 1

Luke was dressed in his bespoke business suit. He was handsome but at the same time bewitching. He was more attractive than half a year ago when Mavis left the country.

Mavis stepped forward and presented him with the design document. "This is the design document for Nimbus International. Please take a look."

Luke put away the pen in his hand and took the document. At the same time, his slender fingers massaged the bridge of his nose.

Mavis knew that it was one of Luke's mannerisms whenever he was tired.

Bianca from the design department was like a thorn in her heart. However, she did not express her intentions.

Luke flipped through the document and said, "Ms. Laviere, your design style looks different from your previous works. Are you in a bad mood?"

Mavis's heart skipped a beat.

Indeed, she was in a bad mood while she was working on the designs, and she had omitted some details. When compared to her usual meticulous work, she did not expect that Luke noticed the differences.

She had to admit that Luke was incredibly perceptive…

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 260-You’re Just His Plaything When He's Bored "Do you have something on your mind, Ms. Laviere? Or are you not used to the local weather?" Luke asked curiously.

"I think I'm still not used to the weather here. I'll try to adjust myself so that I can be at my optimal condition," Mavis said coldly.

Luke nodded. "Mm. I've always believed in your capabilities, Ms. Laviere.

You can keep the document here. Well discuss it in detail tomorrow." "Alright." Mavis turned around and left.

Luke nodded in satisfaction.

That was Mavis for him. In front of him, she had been distant and aloof, as though she desired nothing, and no earthly temptation could move her.

That was what Luke liked the most about Mavis.

She was capable, professional, and not bothered by personal matters. Those were the qualities of a perfect worker.

"Ms. Laviere," Luke called out her name right when she was opening the door.

Mavis stopped walking. With her face turned away from Luke, she smiled smugly.

She turned around and resumed her usual, aloof expression. ’Is there anything else, Mr. Crawford?" "You've been working hard lately. The subsidiary company in Argentina under your lead has recorded several percentage points in growth. If you want a reward, you can have cash or stocks. Well talk about it at dinner after work." "Alright." Mavis maintained her indifference.

Once she stepped out of the office, her smile bloomed like a flower.

She knew how to control her emotions, knowing that the man she loved was not fond of women who pestered him.

So many women had fallen at Luke’s feet over the years, but he had rejected all of them.

She was the only woman who could stay by Luke’s side for so long.

The workday ended at six o'clock.

In the design department, Bianca was friends with Sue and Nina. She was not too close with the other colleagues.

Sue waved at them and left the office first, while Nina held Bianca's hand and the two women left the office together.

As they walked, Nina told Bianca about the gossip while Bianca was away from the office.

"Do you know that a male employee from the finance department embezzled a few hundred thousand dollars just so that he could pay a camgirl? He was arrested the other day…

"There's a man from the marketing department who looks dependable, but he was actually two-timing and his girlfriends found out…

"A girl from the PR department was flirting with another guy, and her boyfriend beat her when he found out…"

Bianca was not in the mood for gossip, so she quickly forgot about what she heard.

At the company entrance, she saw Luke's black Bentley drive past them.

The window was rolled down. Bianca could see Luke sitting inside, but he did not seem to notice her.

Mavis was sitting in the side passenger seat.

A gust of wind blew past them. Bianca and Nina could smell a faint whiff of Chanel perfume from Mavis.

Mavis sat there like a noble queen. When she noticed Bianca, her beautiful eyes flashed with mockery and pride…

Luke noticed Bianca in the rearview mirror.

Suddenly, he had a strange thought. He wanted Mavis to get out of the car at that instant and ask Bianca to get in.

It was the first time that he had a woman of his own. He did not know how to express himself.

He shook his head and banished that thought. Nothing was going on between Mavis and him. She had brought profits to the company, and he was buying dinner for her to reward her.

Luke and Mavis were nothing more than a boss and his employee.

He would explain that to Bianca later.

Bianca had always been understanding. She would know that business dinners were part of Luke's job.

The black Bentley disappeared from Bianca and Nina's view.

Nina carefully turned her head and sneaked a peek at Bianca.

She knew that Bianca was someone special to Luke. Now that they had seen Luke ride a car with another woman, Bianca must be thinking of something.

"Are you OK, Bianca? Ms. Laviere has just returned from overseas. I believe Mr. Crawford is taking her out to dinner to celebrate her return. It's nothing out of the ordinary," Nina said gently. novelbin

Bianca turned away.

She might pretend that she was unaffected, but she was nonetheless a woman and thus felt uneasy about the situation. However, she believed that she could trust Luke.

She knew that Mavis was a capable and dependable employee, and it was reasonable that they went out for dinner.

It was impossible for her not to be worried, but she chose to believe him.

"It's fine." Bianca suppressed her worries. "The bus is coming. Let's go."

Not far away was a bustling public square.

In the middle of the public square was a musical fountain.

Past the public square was a bus station. She could take bus number 52 to go directly home.

When Bianca started working, she had an extravagant thought. She wanted a car of her own so that she could commute between home and work more easily. However, she did not have any savings, and she did not want to use the credit card that Luke had given her. She might feel beholden to him if she did.

She would try to save up as much money as she could. With the year-end bonus, she should be able to afford an economical car.

While they were traversing the public square, someone suddenly grasped Bianca's arm!

Bianca turned around to see. It was Xavier!

"Why can't you leave me alone, Xavier?" Her expression instantly sank.

"I am your husband," Xavier said sternly. "I'm here to pick you up from work. What's wrong with that?”

Nina was vaguely aware of Bianca and Xavier’s relationship. Seeing that Xavier was grabbing onto Bianca's arm, she stepped in and reprimanded him. "I say, Xavier Tanner, aren't you a shameless one? Bianca is a couple with Mr. Crawford, but you insist on stepping between them. Nobody likes that. Don't you know?”

Xavier turned his head to look at Nina. He looked as though he was a cobra baring his tongue.

"You don't have to work here anymore, my wife. Let me take care of you," Xavier said earnestly as he looked at the T Corporation building and something sinister flashed in his eyes. "Look at your eyebags. Luke Crawford doesn't know how to pamper you. Come home with me. HI take good care of you."

Bianca pushed his hand away. "I'm very happy working here. Also, don't ever call me your wife again. HI make sure that this forced marriage is over as soon as possible. Don't ever come and disturb me again!"

She turned around and quickly walked to the bus station.

Xavier stepped in front of Bianca and blocked her way. "I won't divorce you, Bianca. Do you think that Luke Crawford really loves you? Tch… you don't know that he has an affair going on with Mavis Laviere… You're only nothing but a plaything to him when he's bored. Now that Mavis is back, do you think that hell want to be together with you?"

Bianca could feel her heart clench when she heard those words…
