Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 341-Warming Each Other with Their Bodies
In the middle of the field was a T-shaped stage. Perhaps there was an event in the school.
It was already almost midnight. No one was on the field except for the couple.
It was a snow-white world.
Luke and Bianca walked hand-in-hand toward the stage, leaving behind two pairs of footsteps.
He carried Bianca onto the stage and climbed up himself.
From his jacket, he took out the fireworks they bought from the convenience store, crouched down, and lit them with his lighter.
Bianca stood next to him, watching the spark travel down the fuse. Soon, the fireworks shot high into the air.
Boom! A beautiful tree of fire appeared in the sky with a thousand expanding blooms.
The dark sky was instantly illuminated with a brilliant display of colors.
Bianca reflexively closed her eyes. Luke took her hand and stepped backward.
The brilliant flames shone vividly, illuminating them as well as the sky.
Bianca felt extremely happy.
The cheap fireworks only worth several dollars could create such a magnificent landscape.
"Thank you. I will remember this scene for the rest of my life. These are our shared memories…" Bianca scrunched her red nose, stood on tiptoe, and tightly hugged Luke's neck.
She rubbed her cheek against Luke's neck like a cute little kitten.
Even though it was cold all around her, Luke's presence gave her warmth.
"I'm happy as long as you're happy. I'll even pluck the stars from the sky for you." Luke kissed her lips indulgently.
In the snow, Luke was handsome and noble. The sparkle in his eyes was the most dazzling light in the world.
As he smiled, the snowflakes around him seem to have come to life, dancing on his brows and lips.
At that moment, he was elegant and charming like an ice spirit. Bianca's heart thumped wildly in her chest, and her infatuation for Luke reached a peak…
Just when their eyes were transfixed on each other, they heard an angry shout coming from the security post!
The security guard in a dark green coat was walking toward them, holding a flashlight.
"Hey, you students, why aren't you sleeping so late at night? Don't you know that you shouldn't play with fireworks in school? Which class are you in?" He said sternly.
"Ah, we're discovered." Bianca was flustered.
"Don't worry. Take my hand, and well run together!" Luke took her soft, petite hand. Under the illumination of the fireworks, they ran across the field. novelbin
Soon, they arrived at the road outside of the school.
They panted heavily as they ran while the security guard was left far behind.
When they were several hundred feet away from the school, Luke and Bianca hid behind a tall evergreen tree.
"Don't be afraid. We'll just pretend that we're jogging at night. He can't do anything to us," Luke said gently to Bianca.
"Phew… that was tiring but so fun!" Bianca was drenched in sweat.
She felt pain in her chest, but that was totally worth it.
Luke's warm palm held Bianca's hand. That made her believe that he would never let her go.
Bianca turned around. That flaming tree seemed to linger in the air.
The dropping sparks fell like shooting stars. It was a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
The security guard looked around but did not see them. He turned around and went back to his post, cursing.
"We're safe now." Luke and Bianca walked out from behind the tree.
They watched as the remnants of the fireworks lost their glow and disappeared in the night, then walked hand in hand on the snowy ground.
Next to the wall, they saw a tall and slightly thin figure standing there, covered in snow.
Bianca thought that it was someone leaning against the wall.
When she got nearer, she noticed that there were two people tightly hugging each other.
They seemed young. Perhaps they were college students. The couple seemed to be arguing. The girl sobbed weakly in the boy's embrace, while occasionally waving her fists and punching him.
The boy spoke to her softly and patiently, apologizing to the girl while letting her punch him all she wanted.
The love between young people seemed so pure. Even when they were arguing, they seemed so happy with each other.
Bianca and Luke smiled and held each other's hands more tightly.
They were no longer at that age. After conquering so many obstacles, they understood that they had to trust each other. That was how they could continue loving each other and own the miracle that was marital bliss.
"Bianca, I feel that I've become a lot younger after I met you," Luke said while interweaving his fingers with hers.
His forehead rested on hers, and they warmed each other with their body heat.
"That's not correct. You're already very young. The father of my children is Prince Charming."
Bianca laughed and gently pinched Luke's hand. "I'm a little tired from walking…" "I'll carry you on my back." Luke crouched down and waited for Bianca to climb on.
Bianca climbed on Luke's back. As he walked, Bianca looked at the snowy scenery around her.
The night was silent and dark. Other than the soft white glow of the snow and the dim yellow light of the street lamps, there was no other illumination, i
The softly glowing snowflakes made the dark night look like a scene from a dream.
They could see each other's faces clearly, but everything slightly farther away was a blur. Bianca thought that it was alright; that way, they belonged in their small world.
"If only we can be like this forever, Luke…" Bianca felt a little dejected as she leaned on Luke's broad back.
She wondered if she should tell Luke about what Queenie said to her…
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 342-Calling His Name Again and Again
Bianca did not want to anger Luke by telling him about her encounter with Queenie, but she would feel uneasy if she did not.
It was not easy for her to be where she was now. She was afraid that she would lose this blissful scene.
After all, she was too unremarkable.
The other women who coveted the man came from powerful and influential families.
"Luke, I'll strive to become a world-renowned designer so that I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you. That way, there won't be as many rumors and negative remarks even if we're together." Bianca whispered into his ear. Her warm breath had traces of melancholy.
"I believe in your capabilities, and you should believe in yourself more. Success isn't achieved overnight, and there is much room for you to grow. You'll have to take it slow, but I believe that my Bianca will one day stand on the pinnacle of the world, living the life that you want… Perhaps even I might find it difficult to reach that height," Luke said as he carried Bianca
on her back and walked along the snowy ground. 1
The man's tread was firm even though the ground was slippery.
Their whispers were like the snow on the tips of branches, disappearing as soon as the sun rose.
However, those words were imprinted deep in Bianca's heart. She would remember his encouragement for years to come.
The pure white snow danced in the air like tiny fairies.
Several plum blossoms were in full bloom on the side of the road, unafraid of the terrible cold.
"Mrs. Norman came to look for me earlier."
Bianca's white down jacket seemed to have melded with her snowy surroundings. "She came to tell me to leave you. She said that we're not a good match for each other…"
After thinking through it, she decided to tell Luke about that incident.
If they were going to trust each other, then she should not hide any secrets from him. i
The man was observant. If he found out that she was hiding something from him, she might regret that decision.
The smile on Luke's face froze, and his expression suddenly turned cold." Mrs. Norman said that to you?" novelbin
His expression was colder than the winter wind, which was made even more bitter in the dark night.
Bianca was behind him and did not see the change in his expression. "Mrs. Norman said that I'm not a good match for you. She said that her daughter likes you, and the two of you are made for each other. Not only does your family oppose our relationship, but even my love rival's family is interrogating me…"
Bianca laughed gently, but her heart was wrenching.
Luke turned around to look at her. His black irises flashed with confidence.
"Let me handle this."
Bianca ruffled his short hair with her icy fingers. "Let's ignore them. You should know that businessmen and politicians don't mingle well."
Luke continued to walk forward. "You are the most important person to me. Don't worry. I'll protect you."
Tears welled in Bianca's eyes. "Luke…" "Yes, my dear…" "Luke…" "Yes, my dear…"
Bianca called Luke's name time after time.
Her worries disappeared as Luke answered her every call.
She rubbed his ears that were red from the cold to warm him up. "I trust you. You must be tired after carrying me for so long. You can put me down…
Bianca turned around and looked behind her.
She could only see one set of footprints. Those footprints seemed slightly larger and deeper than usual, perhaps because the man was carrying her on his back.
Those footprints were like the happiness they were experiencing. She could not see where they started, and she did not know where they would end. However, she could clearly see their journey together thus far.
Bianca believed that if they did not let go of each other, they would create splendid vistas even in the most barren landscapes.
Under her insistence, Luke placed Bianca on the ground.
They stood side by side under a plum tree in full bloom.
Soon, they accumulated a thin layer of snow on their bodies.
A gust of wind blew past them, and several plum blossoms fell gently on them.
His handsome face was breath-taking, while her beautiful charms were awe -inspiring.
Luke looked at Bianca standing in front of him. Even though she did not move or speak a word, she was as gentle as the moonlight and as delicate and dazzling as a snowflake. He was willing to do anything for her, even if it meant the entire world opposed their relationship.
He suddenly reached into his coat and took out an exquisite pendant.
The pendant was in the shape of a flower petal, and it was made from the finest quality jade. However, its edges were slightly worn because of its age.
Luke took Bianca's hand and placed the pendant in her palm.
Bianca looked at him, surprised.
The pendant in her hand was heavy and had an impeccable luster. She could tell that it was very expensive.
She was about to decline the expensive present when his palm enveloped her petite hand together with the pendant.
"This is my grandmother’s heirloom, Bianca. She told me that when I meet the girl I truly love, I should give it to her. My grandmother is a gentle and loving woman, she…" i
Bianca looked at him and listened to his reminiscence.
That was the first time that she heard him speak of his maternal grandmother. She could tell that she was caring and intelligent, but unfortunately, she suffered when she married a violent gambling addict.
Luke's grandmother gave birth to a boy and a girl. The daughter was arrogant and materialistic, while the son was down-to-earth but meek.
His grandmother silently bore the constant abuse from her husband and the children, and her physical and mental health worsened by the day.
After Allison gave birth to Luke, his grandmother poured all her love onto the cute and obedient grandson.
Unfortunately, when Luke was sent to the orphanage, his grandmother had already succumbed to illness.
Life with his grandmother might be tough, but those were the best days of Luke's childhood.
Bianca felt sorry about his past.
That outstanding man used to be so pitiful.
Bianca hugged his waist. "You have me and the children by your side. Your life will be filled with joy from now on. Let the past stay in the past.”
Luke hugged her even more tightly.
With an understanding woman and their children as company, there was nothing else he could wish for…
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 343- Mommy, Did Daddy Bully You?
Later, Luke took Bianca back to Crawford Manor in his car.
At first, Bianca did not agree to it. With so many negative news reports revolving around her, Old Master Crawford and Allison must not want to see her.
However, Luke insisted on bringing her home.
He wanted to announce to the rest of his family that Bianca was his woman and that she would soon become Mrs. Crawford.
Bianca had no other choice but to follow him back.
She gingerly followed behind Luke, afraid that Allison or Old Master Crawford would see her and humiliate her.
Fortunately, it was already past midnight, and everyone was fast asleep. No one noticed her going into the house.
Bianca first went to Lanie and Rainie's room.
The two young children slept in the same room because Rainie was timid. Seeing that her two angelic children were sleeping soundly, she left kisses on their foreheads.
Then, she went to take a hot water shower, which comforted her cold and tired body.
When she stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a large towel, Luke had finished brushing his teeth. He carried her in his arms into his bedroom.
"You should have a guest room here, right? I'll sleep there, or maybe in Lanie and Rainie's room…" Bianca felt uneasy. After all, she could not let her guard down while in Old Master Crawford's house.
That was why she felt that it was more appropriate to sleep in the guest room.
Even though the other members of the Crawford family knew who she was, the two people were not a married couple yet, and those family members that hated her would hate her even more.
"You'll sleep in this room tonight!" Luke hugged her waist dominatingly. "I'm here. You have nothing to be afraid of." "But I…" Bianca remained uneasy.
"Don't you believe that I can handle this? You are my children's mother, and soon, you will be my wife. My family members need to get used to you.
Don't worry, we won't stay in Crawford Manor after we're married." Luke pecked Bianca's cheek.
If not that the children had to stay there, Luke would not want to stay in Crawford Manor either.
The atmosphere there was too oppressive.
Susan fought with his mother every day, and there was no end to it.
Bianca breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Luke's words.
If they remained in Crawford Manor after they were married, she did not know how she would face Allison every day.
That was Luke's birth mother and not any other woman.
If she fought with Allison, Luke would be the one caught in between.
"We'll be together forever, Bianca. The only troublesome one here is my mother. My grandfather might look stern, but he can be reasoned with. You can ignore Susan. You've met Louis, and he likes you as his sister-in-law. That's why you don't have to be worried about the other family members." Luke smiled jokingly.
Bianca nodded determinedly. 'I know. I'll try to change my attitude toward your family members."
Luke laid Bianca on the bed and hugged her tightly. The woman's feminine and soft body contrasted with the man's masculine and solid body.
Luke gently caressed Bianca's hair and reminded her softly, "The day after tomorrow is Jennifer and Marie's trial…"
Bianca suddenly remembered that.
She had been very busy with work and other incidents lately, and she almost forgot that the despicable mother and daughter had caused her father's death!
"I will go to court myself and see that they are justly punished…" The memory of her father gasping for air and twitching surfaced in her mind.
The hatred in her heart burst forth like a broken dam.
Bianca did not sleep well that night because she was troubled by those memories. She only managed to sleep when it was almost dawn.
When she woke up, Luke was already not by her side.
Two cute little children stood next to the bed, looking at Bianca with their big and animated eyes.
Rainie poked Lanie's arm and said happily, "Big Bro, Daddy didn't lie to us! Mommy is really here to visit us. Why isn't Mommy awake yet? Does she like to sleep in too?"
Lanie lifted his index finger to his lips and shushed his sister. ’Mommy is very tired from work, and she needs a lot of rest. Let's not disturb her and let her sleep for a while more."
Just when he finished speaking, he saw Bianca's fingers move and her eyes open.
Bianca was surprised when she saw the two cute faces. She suddenly remembered that she was in Crawford Manor.
"Lanie, Rainie, what time is it now?" Bianca could not find her phone and had to ask the children.
Rainie took her boots off and climbed onto the bed. novelbin
She looked at Bianca with her misty, round eyes and mumbled softly, "It's nine o'clock, Mommy. It was snowing heavily earlier. I had a snowball fight with Big Bro while you were asleep. Daddy said that we're already big children, and he doesn't let us sleep in, but he lets you sleep in. That's not fair…" "I was quite tired from work last night, and I didn’t see the time…" Bianca felt awkward.
She had embarrassed herself in front of the children!
"Your eyes look swollen, Mommy. Did Daddy bully you?" Lanie the little gentleman asked.
He was always worried that his Daddy would bully Mommy. After all, Daddy had a short temper.
Bianca looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were puffy because she did not sleep well last night.
Memories of Jennifer and Marie's misdeeds, as well as scenes from her father's suffering before his death, repeated over and over in her head like a loop, perhaps because Luke had reminded her of the upcoming trial.
Bianca could not say anything in front of the two innocent children. She patted their heads to comfort them…
She applied some powder to her cheeks and used concealer to cover the eyebags. That way, she looked more energetic.
The two children sat on the bed with their cheeks resting on their hands, watching their mother put on her makeup.
Like magic, their mother's already beautiful face became even more beautiful after that.
Bianca had just finished putting on makeup when she heard a knock on the door.
Lanie opened the door. A middle-aged caretaker said to Bianca courteously, "Good morning, Ms. Rayne. Luke requests that you and the two children go downstairs for breakfast…"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 344- An Incident at the Breakfast Table
The Crawford family had many rules. Old Master Crawford placed a lot of emphasis on having breakfast as a family.
One unbreakable rule was that on the 15th of every month, the entire family had to gather for breakfast, no matter how busy or unwilling everyone might be.
Today was the 15th of the month, and it was the day of the breakfast gathering. Moreover, the day was extra special because Luke was about to announce to the family that he had brought his future wife home.
It was also an indirect challenge from Luke to the family members that did not favor the relationship.
On the breakfast table was an array of different breakfast items served on lavish plates. There was something suitable for every taste.
The meats were lightly seasoned because it was breakfast.
Every dish was exquisitely prepared, as though it was the morning of a festival.
Old Master Crawford sat on the lead position at the breakfast table with a stern expression.
He might be old, but his bearing was as authoritative as usual, especially his eyes, which were gentle but commanding.
Susan and her son Louis sat on Old Master Crawford's right side, while on the left were Allison and Luke.
Susan and Allison were dressed up immaculately, decked in all sorts of luxury brand fashion items and accessories as though they were free.
Luke sat there, not saying a word. He might seem calm, but he gave off a dominating air.
His gaze was transfixed on the staircase. No one knew what he was thinking.
Louis looked as carefree as usual. His face was similar to Luke's, having inherited the Crawford family genes.
However, one could tell from the way he sat that he was a playboy.
After all the dishes were served, the dining hall fell awkwardly silent.
Allison could not take it anymore, and she complained to Luke. "What's going on with that Bianca, Luke? Look, we're all here, and we have to wait for her. How could she let her senior wait for her? This girl from a poor family doesn't know etiquette at all!" "Take a look at yourself before you speak! No wonder your son is attracted to that kind of woman," Susan mocked coldly.
"Who are you talking about, Susan?" Allison was about to blow his top.
"That's enough. Can't we have some peace in the morning?" Old Master Crawford furrowed his brows and said impatiently.
His voice was soft but authoritative. The two women immediately shut up.
His daughters-in-law have been arguing since more than twenty years ago. Zachary could have kept them in check, but ever since he passed away, no one could stop the two from fighting, even Old Master Crawford. That had made him very annoyed.
He had suggested that the two women remarry, but they did not want that. They claimed that they remained devoted to Zachary, but Old Master Crawford knew their secret plans.
If Susan remained in the Crawford family, she would have a stake in T Corporation. If she remarried, things would be totally different.
Her stake in the company would be withdrawn, and Louis was not much of a fighter or a businessman. She would not want to see Allison and her son completely control T Corporation.
She would rather die single in the Crawford family than let Allison win!
Allison had a simpler viewpoint. She knew that Luke hated her. If she remarried, her son would not give away T Corporation's resources to the other family.
If that were the case, Allison would not be able to maintain her current lavish lifestyle.
As a woman who became Mrs. Crawford, she was intelligent enough to rationalize her decision.
Old Master Crawford looked around the table and landed his gaze on Luke. "Luke, go and get Bianca here for breakfast."
Luke stood up from his seat. 'Yes, Grandfather."
Just when he was about to walk up the stairs, he saw Bianca walking down holding the two children.
With the twins next to her, Bianca was full of vigor.
She was not afraid of the Crawfords anymore, even though the people there were hostile to her.
As she stepped down the classic spiral staircase, she seemed modest and even a little timid.
Bianca might look calm, but her back was straightened stiffly, and her grip on her children's hands tightened slightly.
She did not expect that everyone was waiting for her.
Other than Louis, who was smiling at her, the other people did not look too pleasant. The air was thick with tension.
Luke took Bianca's hand and sat her down next to him. novelbin
The two cute children greeted their great-grandfather and sat down next to Bianca.
"Good morning, Old Master Crawford." Bianca smiled awkwardly and greeted the patriarch of the family.
Old Master Crawford grunted coldly, then turned his head away.
Bianca, who had been doted on by Old Master Crawford, felt even more awkward!
Helplessly, Bianca turned to greet Susan. "Aunt Susan," she called softly.
Susan shot a mocking glance at Bianca and did not say anything.
Louis laughed and eased the tense atmosphere. "It's not the first time we're meeting each other, Sis. I don't think I need to introduce myself… I didn't expect that my elder brother, whom I thought would be single for the rest of his life, would have a girlfriend. I ought to keep up with him, heheh."
Bianca smiled, feeling happy that at least one Crawford accepted her.
She turned her gaze to Allison, who did not hide her disgust. Bianca’s heart wrenched, and she could not get herself to greet her.
She could not forget the humiliation that Allison had brought her, and she could ignore all the things that happened between them. Unfortunately for her, that woman was the mother of the man she loved…
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 345-Bianca Was Embarrassed by What Luke Said
Meanwhile, Leia woke up from a deep sleep. She opened her eyes and found herself in a luxurious but otherwise vacant hotel suite.
Her entire body was in pain as though it had been ripped apart, and her waist was so worn that she could not straighten it.
Down there, she felt nothing but searing pain.
She pressed on her throbbing temples, and memories of last night's lovemaking surfaced.
The bed was a mess, her evening gown had been torn into shreds, and there were signs of intimacy all over her body.
Leia could vaguely remember the warmth of the man's body. That man's figure overlapped with Luke's handsome face.
Leia's face blushed shyly. novelbin
Not only the man that she loved had a handsome face, but his prowess in bed made her crave for more.
Her desire for claiming Luke became even stronger.
'Why is Luke so rough though? He didn't seem to care that it's my first time!'
Leia could not remember how many times he had hugged her the night before. Even after her voice was hoarse after crying and begging, he did not stop or even slow down…
However, that had allowed her to taste a wonderful experience that she had never encountered before.
When she reminisced about those sensations, she felt so happy that she could die.
After the happiness had worn her out, Leia began to feel angry again.
'How can Luke leave me alone in the hotel just like that, after he claimed my virginity? He didn't even prepare a change of clothes for me!'
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became!
Leia fought against the soreness and pushed herself off the bed. Her phone started ringing; it was her agent.
In a fit of rage, she rejected the call!
Right after that, she received a call from Queenie.
When she saw that her mother was calling her, Leia braced herself and answered it. "Mom…" "Where are you, Leia?" Queenie asked.
A pang of guilt struck Leia's heart. "I'm here with my agent, Mom. We ran into some problems while shooting the new movie. The investor, producer, director, and actors are all here for a meeting. I'm here too…" "You've always been a considerate girl, Leia. You knew that yesterday was your grandfather's 70th birthday, so why did you leave halfway when you could've taken the opportunity to close the gap with him? You didn't even tell us that you left, and you didn't come home last night. Your father is very angry." Queenie's tone of voice was calm, but she sounded disappointed with what Leia did.
Leia's heart skipped a beat.
Her adopted father was her biggest support, and she did not want to anger him!
"Something happened last night, Mom, and I'm very sorry. I'll explain it to Dad when I get back. I love you the most, Mom. Please put in a good word for me!" Leia said coyly.
Queenie could sense her daughter's coy demeanor over the phone.
"Sigh, I wouldn't want to reprimand you if not that your behavior was out of line; you're my only daughter. Don't do that again next time." "Mm, thank you, Mom. I won't do it again."
Leia felt uneasy after she ended the call.
However, the disagreement with her parents was worth it if it meant that she could claim Luke's affection.
She gave a call to room service and requested a change of clothes.
After she dressed up and went down to the lobby, she asked the receptionist about the man who had booked the room for her.
She was sure that the man was Luke Crawford, but she wanted to confirm it.
The receptionist said that the man preferred to keep his identity secret. Furthermore, the hotel was not at liberty to divulge its customers' identities.
Leia felt slightly at ease when she heard that.
Even though the receptionist did not tell her the identity of the man, that made her even more sure that he was Luke.
The hotel she was in was the most expensive in A City, and the suite she was in cost an astronomical sum. Not only that, one needed to have a certain social status to reserve a suite.
She was sure that the man last night was the Luke she loved.
Leia decided to go to Crawford Manor to investigate.
After all, Luke was the one who had claimed her virginity, and he had to bear responsibility.
Moreover, Allison was fond of her. If she knew that Leia had carnal relations with her son, she would be ecstatic.
With that thought in mind, Leia summoned her driver and went to Crawford Manor.
It had been snowing heavily the night before. Even though it was not snowing the next morning and the roads had been cleared, traffic remained heavy.
Leia was extremely anxious. She wanted to reach Crawford Manor as soon as she could…
Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the breakfast table in Crawford Manor was stifling.
Bianca had the urge to dash out of the door if not that Luke was holding her hand tightly…
Allison looked at the apprehensive Bianca. Her disdain was evident. ’ You're already putting on airs even before you're officially a Crawford. What makes you think that we accept you if you don't even know basic manners?
Bianca lowered her head and did not say a word.
Luke squeezed Bianca’s hand and spoke to Old Master Crawford, "Haven't you been wishing for more children in the house, Grandfather? I spent an entire night with Bianca just so that you can hold another baby in your arms by next year. I hope you will forgive her for resting a little longer in bed this morning."
Bianca discreetly pinched the back of Luke's hand.
She was embarrassed when Luke divulged their private affairs to the other family members.
Everyone except the two little children knew what Luke was talking about.
Old Master Crawford saw that Bianca looked haggard, and his expression eased a little.
Initially, he had a good impression of the young woman. Several intervening incidents, including her marriage to Xavier, had ruined that impression and made the old man uneasy whenever he saw her.
However, his grandson Luke loved the woman, and she was also the mother of her great- grandchildren. He remained opposed to Bianca and Luke's relationship, but the resistance was not as strong as before.
Allison was so angry that she d id not want to speak a word. She turned her head away, not willing to look at Bianca and her ungrateful son.
Susan's expression was complicated.
If Luke married Bianca, they would give birth to many more children in the future. That meant that they would control the majority of the family's wealth.
'No, I have to make sure that Louis marries as soon as possible. I can't let Allison get ahead of me!'
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 346-I’m Pregnant…
Susan pointed a finger at Louis's face. "Look at your brother. He already has two children, so when is your turn to settle down? Quickly go and get yourself married! You'd better stay at home tomorrow. I'll arrange several matchmaking sessions for you so we can get this done as soon as possible."
Louis wailed. "That can't be, Mom! I'm still young, and I don't want to get married…" "Enough excuses. If you don't want to get married, be like your brother and give me a baby,’ Susan said.
"I can consider that." Louis rubbed his chin and gave that a serious thought.
That seemed to be a good idea. If he gave his mother a baby, she would not bug him anymore about getting married.
Old Master Crawford whacked Louis's leg with his walking stick, breaking his train of thought. "Over my dead body, you rascal!"
Louis felt aggrieved. "Not fair, Grandpa. Why can Brother do that but not me? The twins…"
Luke glared at Louis with a stern gaze.
Louis noticed that the twins were looking at him with big, animated eyes.
Only then did he realize that he nearly made a big mistake.
"I'm sorry, Brother!" He said sheepishly.
"Alright, let's eat!" Old Master Crawford said authoritatively, and no one dared to say otherwise.
The family ate the meal, though for most of them, the meal was tasteless.
The two little children, on the other hand, ate with great relish.
Bianca continuously fed them food from the dishes. From time to time, she would wipe their dirty little mouths with a napkin.
Old Master Crawford was satisfied that she treated the children with kindness and care. His impression of Bianca became better by a little.
Allison, however, maintained her sullen expression. She silently cursed Bianca for putting up that deceptive appearance.
Halfway through breakfast, Susan excused herself from the table, saying that she was not feeling well.
Almost immediately after that, the doorbell rang.
"Old Master Crawford, Ms. Norman is at the door." The middle-aged female caretaker's voice came over the speakers.
Bianca was startled. She looked doubtfully at Luke.
She did not know why Leia was at Crawford Manor so early in the morning.
Meanwhile, Allison seemed delighted. "Father, please allow Leia to come in. It's the 15th of the month today, and she must be here to visit you. It's so cold outside, you can tell that she is considerate."
Old Master Crawford glanced at Bianca's calm face and replied softly,"
Mm."
He might be old, but he was not senile. He knew very well that Leia was there to visit his grandson Luke and not him.
He might have accepted Bianca's presence in the household, but Bianca needed a reminder from time to time.
After all, she was the one who had involved his grandson in unneeded scandals.
Leia stepped into the house in her tall boots.
When she saw Bianca sitting next to Luke and feeding the two children, her beautiful smile nearly vanished!
'Damn that Luke. How dare he make out in bed with me last night, but bring Bianca back to Crawford Manor? What's the meaning of this?'
However, Leia was very good at masking her emotions.
She might be livid at the moment, but she maintained her ladylike composure and gently greeted, "Grandpa Crawford, Aunt Allison…"
She was dressed in the latest Dior fashion, which allowed her to flaunt her curves even though it was winter.
Her graceful and magnanimous behavior made her look like a refined lady.
Leia knew that the older generation would appreciate her behavior.
She shot a glance at Bianca.
Bianca was dressed in a casual T-shirt without any adornment.
She was so plain. How could she compare to the glamorous and attractive Leia?
"You're here so early, Leia. You haven’t eaten anything, right? Come here, let's have breakfast together." Allison eagerly pulled Leia to the breakfast table.
Leia pretended to decline several times, but eventually relented and sat down at the table.
Bianca felt unpleasant when she saw how eager Allison was to please Leia. It was a huge contrast from how she was treated.
Leia chatted with Allison and Old Master Crawford, but her resentful gaze would sometimes fall on Luke.
Bianca was uneasy when Leia was around. Her food suddenly lost all taste, and she could not take another bite.
Luke looked at the sudden guest with disapproval.
'What's wrong with Leia?
'She’s been looking at me as though I've dumped her. Is she OK?’ "Aunt Allison, when did Ms. Rayne come here?" Leia tried to beat around the bush.
Before Allison could say anything, Lanie patted his bloated stomach and replied, "Mommy has been here since last night. She slept in the same room as Daddy. They're very nice to each other!"
Lanie was very sensitive to emotions, and he instantly disliked Leia.
Leia's face turned a shade paler. "Luke, you shouldn't be at home last night, right?" 'That's impossible. Luke was making out in bed with me last night. Why would he be at home with Bianca?'
Luke did not give an answer. He was not going to waste his time with that woman.
He could tell that Bianca disliked Leia. He stood up, took Bianca and the twins' hands, and said to Old Master Crawford, "Grandfather, Bianca and I are done with breakfast. We'll be going upstairs." "Hey, Luke…"
Leia was trying to call him when Luke was already heading toward the spiral staircase holding Bianca's hand. To her, the family of four was an eyesore.
Leia's fists were clenched tightly. She could only suppress the anger and doubt in her heart for now.
"My son is like that, Leia. You don't have to be too bothered. He'll eventually regret it." Allison comforted her while handing her a plate.
Leia forced a smile. She was not in the mood to eat.
"Did Luke come home last night, Aunt Allison?" She asked.
"Who knows? I slept quite late last night, and I didn’t see that ingrate when I went to bed at one o'clock. I didn't expect that he would bring Bianca home. I was so angry!" novelbin
Old Master Crawford coughed gently. "You two continue to chat. I’m feeling a little tired, and I'll go and rest."
After the caretaker helped Old Master Crawford walk to his room, Louis was not in the mood to eat with those two annoying women at the table. He found an excuse to leave as well.
Only Allison and Leia remained in the dining hall.
Leia wanted to tell Allison about her experience with Luke the night before, but she did not want to give Allison the impression that she was putting pressure on her.
She decided that she would find a better opportunity to tell Allison.
Upstairs.
Bianca was not in a good mood because of Leia. Luke and the twins tried to cheer her up.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was from Nina!
Bianca quickly answered the call.
"Bianca, I'm… I'm pregnant…" Nina's agonized and panicked voice was heard on the phone.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 347-’ve Never Blamed You
When Bianca hurriedly arrived at the hospital, she saw Nina sitting in a daze at the obstetrics and gynecology department.
The other women had their husbands and boyfriends with them. Nina seemed especially lonely.
Bianca had not met Nina in a while, and Nina had lost a lot of weight. Her round and plump face was now sharp, and her bangs almost covered her eyes. Her expression could not be clearly seen, though her lips that were tightly pressed together told Bianca that she was in a gloomy mood.
Nina clutched several medical reports in her hands. Bianca did not know what she was thinking.
Looking at that thin figure, Bianca could not help but feel sorry for her.
She sat down next to Nina and gently called out her name, "Nina…"
When Nina heard Bianca's voice and saw her, she fell into her arms, and tears started to fall.
"I'm… I'm pregnant, Bianca," she sobbed, "I wanted to abort it, but the doctor said that my uterine wall is very thin. If I abort this child, I might not be able to become pregnant for the rest of my life. What should I do?" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" Bianca kept on apologizing. She felt immensely guilty for what happened to Nina.
Nina suffered so much because of her.
"Bianca, do you know that when I found out that I was pregnant, my mind went blank… I didn't want to tell you, but I really don't know what I should do. I'm losing my mind. I don't want this lifeform within me. It is a shameful reminder of what happened to me. But if I abort it, I might never get the chance of becoming a mother…’ Nina helplessly stared at Bianca. She did not know what to do.
She nearly suffered a mental breakdown after she was violated. She did not think of taking a contraceptive.
When she thought of that later, she ran to the pharmacy, bought a morning- after pill, and instantly swallowed it.
However, that was already too late.
She did not expect that she was so unlucky to become pregnant the first time she had intercourse with a man.
Nina handed Bianca the medical report with shaking hands.
Bianca saw the results of the ultrasound, complete blood count, electrocardiogram, and all other tests.
What made Bianca surprised was that Nina might look healthy, but her constitution was worse than normal people.
Her body was weak, and it could not withstand an abortion.
Not only that, even if she tried to carry the pregnancy to term, there was a chance that she would suffer a miscarriage if she was careless.
"Nina, do you know who's the father of the baby in your womb?" Bianca sighed as she held the medical reports in her hand and tried to hold back tears.
Nina might seem carefree and liberal, but Bianca knew that Nina was very conservative, even more so than her. She would not be willingly involved in an affair out of wedlock.
Needless to say, it must have something to do with that time Xavier kept her in captivity.
Nina shook her head with tears in her eyes.
She did not want to say the father's identity.
Every reminder of that shameful day was like a scourge whipping on her heart, leaving nothing but pain and fear.
Bianca stopped asking questions. She could see that it was a sore spot for Nina.
Suppressing the heart-wrenching emotions in her heart, Bianca draped her arm over Nina's shoulder and promised her, ‘Listen to me. I'm the one who's at fault. You can blame me if you want… but the child is innocent. Don't abort it. I'll raise it for you. I'll be its godmother, alright?'
A hint of life seemed to return to Nina's hollow gaze. "I've never thought of blaming you, Bianca. I was careless. This wouldn't have happened if I took the pill in time… If I have to blame someone else, it'll be the man who caused all this and how fate is so cruel to me. It's a lot to take in, but I'll be fine in a few days. Don't worry…"
She did not know she was comforting Bianca or herself.
Bianca helped Nina walk out of the hospital.
Nina seemed to feel better after Bianca talked to her.
Bianca was about to hail a cab at the entrance when they saw an unpleasant scene!
A bright red convertible was parked at the hospital entrance.
In the back seat was a brown-haired man with a sinister and scoundrelly face and a bewitching aura.
He hugged a woman with each arm. The one on his left was seductive, while the one on his right was pure.
Even though the day was cold, the women dressed skimpily. They wore crop tops that bared their stomachs, and miniskirts that bared their thighs.
The brown-haired man hugged the seductive woman's waist tightly, but his head was turned to the other side, kissing the pure woman's lips. His lecherous behavior was an eyesore!
"T Corporation has released a new diamond ring design, Brother Pierre. I want it…" The seductive woman said coyly.
"I want an emerald necklace and an LV handbag, Brother Pierre…’ The pure woman also flaunted her seductive charm.
The brown-haired man hugged and kissed them and said generously, ’ Alright, my babies. I'll buy you whatever you want!"
The two beautiful women cheered and clung to him even more tightly.
"How degenerate!" Bianca mumbled.
She would want to stay away as far as possible from playboys like that one.
However, Nina's eyes were transfixed on the brown-haired man…
That was Pierre Mallory!
Nina's eyes brimmed with anger and resentment but at the same time carried a deep-seated agony.
If she could, she would want to chop the man in front of her into a million pieces!
Bianca was shocked when she saw Nina's unnerving demeanor. She tugged Nina's arm and said, "Are… you OK, Nina?'
Nina turned away and replied softly, "I'm fine. Let's go."
"Where are we going, Second Young Master?" The driver said with a straight face. He was probably used to Pierre's antics.
Pierre glanced at the driver lazily but spotted a familiar figure at the corner of his eye…
'Nina?
'Why is she at the hospital?' novelbin
His gaze abruptly turned cold.
He whispered something into the driver's ear. After that, the driver got out of the car and walked toward the hospital!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 348- This Is My last Warning to You
Regal Capital.
"You can live here for now, Nina. I've paid a year's rent in advance, and the lease wont be up for more than half a year. It's non-refundable, and it'll be vacant anyway," Bianca said as she held Nina's hand.
"Thank you, Bianca. Without you, I don't know what I should do if I'm alone. " Nina looked around the one-bedroom house with homely furnishings. She was extremely grateful for Bianca.
Right now, her mother's full attention was on her brother Jean. Anna was running up and down different prison departments to help Jean and ignored what Nina was doing.
Moreover, if her conservative mother found out that she was pregnant, she would be forced to abort the baby.
"I'm the one who has to apologize to you.’ Bianca's gaze was once again suffused with guilt.
"Stop saying that. What happened has happened, and there's no use regretting it. You're my best friend, and I don't want to see you living in the guilt. What we should do now is to think positively. I believe we'll get through this even if it's difficult. I should be at the child-bearing age.
Perhaps this child is a gift from heaven," Nina said gently as she caressed her stomach.
Nina was an optimistic and cheerful young woman. It was easy for her to come round to certain things.
"Mm. I believe that your baby will be the cutest child in the world. It'll look like you!" "I hope that it'll look like me too…"
Nina smiled when she imagined that she would soon have a baby that would call her Mama. It would look like her and be as cute as Lanie and Rainie.
She even looked forward to giving birth to the baby.
Bianca sat Nina down on the couch and went to clean the bedroom. "It's been some time since I last lived here, Nina. The room is quite messy. Rest for a bit while I clean up." novelbin
Nina wanted to help. "I'm pregnant, not disabled. Must you treat me like a child? Let me help with the cleanup as well."
Bianca stubbornly held Nina down. "You saw your medical report too. Your constitution is weaker than normal people, and you might suffer a miscarriage if you're careless. You should rest as much as you can. When I was pregnant with Lanie and Rainie…"
Nina helplessly listened to Bianca tell her precautions and pointers while bearing a child. She might say that Bianca was annoying, but she felt very warm in her heart.
After cleaning up the room, Bianca went down to the grocery store in the neighborhood and bought vegetables and poultry.
While she was walking up the stairs, she met Daisy, who just got back from the wet market.
Daisy was walking casually with a live chicken under her arm…
The two had not met each other for some time.
Daisy could see that Bianca had become more beautiful than before, especially her pink and tender skin. Meanwhile, her daughter had to conduct outdoor interviews, and because of that, her skin had become dry and rough. Her heart was wracked by jealousy.
"Hey, isn't that Bianca?" She said shrilly. *1 thought you've found yourself a rich sugar daddy, and you've moved to a luxurious mansion. Why are you back here so fast? Did you get dumped? Ha, I knew that you can't rely on sugar daddies, but you don't listen. That man must've found himself a younger and more beautiful woman. If you knew that you weren’t going to be so lucky, you shouldn't even have dreamed about it!"
Bianca hated that middle-aged woman a lot, not only because she was patronizing, but also because she was very fond of gossip. Bianca would have given her a tight slap on her face if not that she was respectful toward her elders.
"Don't you know that you're very annoying, Aunt Daisy?" Bianca said abruptly while glaring at Daisy.
"What did you say?" Daisy opened her clouded eyes wide. She could not believe that Bianca was talking to her like that, 1
Bianca was taller than Daisy, even when she was wearing flats.
She towered over Daisy imposingly. "Some elders have kind hearts and mind their manners. Those elders deserve my respect. However, there are many elders like you who not only are unreasonable and ignorant but also indulge in gossip… I'd like to ask you, Aunt Daisy, what's the point of you degrading me? Would your gossip and insults make you a better person? Or would it advance your daughter's career?" "You… How dare you speak to me like that, you wench? If you're guilty of some misdeeds, why shouldn't I say it? Stop pretending to be virtuous!
You're nothing but a mistress!" Daisy was livid. She wanted to throw eggs at Bianca and claw her face.
"Let me say this one last time, Aunt Daisy, I'm not a mistress!"
Bianca clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails were about to break the plastic shopping bags.
She looked at Daisy unpleasantly and said, "I don't care if you believe it, but I have to tell you that the man is my boyfriend, and I am the birth mother of the two children. We were separated for many years because of a misunderstanding, and we've finally reunited again. This is my last warning to you. Do not spread any false rumors about me, or else I'll see you in court!" i
Bianca's tone when she was at her limit was powerful and resonating.
Her gentle face seemed aggressive when she made that threat, which caused Daisy to suffer a shock.
Even the usually haughty and unreasonable Daisy became docile in front of that soft-spoken and gentle girl.
Bianca shot a glance at Daisy, then walked around her and went up to the fifth floor.
Daisy came to her senses when she saw Bianca turn the corner. She spat and cursed, "Pah! How dare you insult me, you mistress? You'll eventually pay for your immoral deeds…"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 349-Luke and Bianca Appear In Court!
Bianca made a sumptuous lunch for Nina.
After lunch, Bianca did the dishes and thoroughly cleaned the kitchen.
Then, she returned to the grocery store and replenished the supplies in the fridge. She had said that the roads were slippery from the snow, and she did not want Nina to step outside. With the fridge stocked full of vegetables and poultry, it would be convenient for Nina to cook for herself.
Nina was grateful beyond words for what Bianca did to her.
"It's almost the end of the year, so you don't have to go to work. I'll let Luke know, and he can approve your leave until the new year," Bianca discussed with Nina before she left. 1
Nina shook her head. "It's been too long since I've skipped work, and you know that I can't sit still at home. You can let Luke know that I'll go to work when I'm ready. I'm afraid that if I stay for too long at home, I'll start imagining things…"
Bianca could only agree. "You should just rest at home, and we'll talk after you're ready to come back to work. You can call me if you need anything. My phone is always on for you."
After Bianca left, Nina sank deep in thought.
Now that she had decided that she would give birth to the child in her womb, she would have to contemplate her future.
She was about to be graced by the presence of a new life, and she would not be alone anymore. She would have to make plans for the baby.
The next day.
It was a sunny day, and the world was coated in silvery-white snow.
The glittering sun shone down on A City Court.
Bianca's gloomy mood was a stark contrast to the fine weather.
It was Jennifer and Marie's trial day.
Bianca did not wear any makeup, and there was no expression on her face.
Luke sat with Bianca in the front row of the spectator area, wearing a pair of sunglasses. His expression was as somber as hers, and his ice-cold aura was hard to ignore.
Jennifer and Marie, dressed in prison clothes, stood listlessly at the dock.
After being locked up for some time, Jennifer seemed to have aged ten years. Gray hair appeared on her sideburns, and her back was slightly hunched.
Marie's long hair was cut short. Her hair was disheveled, her face was sickly, her eyes were sunken, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
They probably had suffered greatly in jail.
However, Bianca did not have any sympathy for them.
They were the ones who had caused Kevin's death, and they were getting what they deserve.
When the two women saw Bianca, their eyes were about to spew fire. If not that bailiffs were restraining them, they would have rushed to Bianca and tore her into pieces.
Walter's crisp voice rang in the courtroom. "The alleged, Jennifer Lee and Marie Rayne, knew that Kevin Rayne was suffering from ill health, yet they provoked him with harsh language. Not only was that behavior immoral, but it was also illegal. Moreover, when they saw that the patient's condition was worsening, they did not immediately call for the doctor but instead watched him deteriorate. Their words and actions have directly caused Mr. Rayne's death, and as such, they need to bear full responsibility! Your Honor, please grant them the maximum sentence!" "Objection!"
Shandra was dressed in a dark-colored lawyer's robe, and her hair was tied up in a bun behind her head. Her expression was cold. "Kevin Rayne has suffered from cancer for many years. Even without Jennifer and Marie's provocation, he would not have lasted for very long. Why must the alleged bear full responsibility? Moreover, what they said to Mr. Rayne was the truth. He is the one who could not accept it. Even if the alleged need to bear legal responsibility for his death, it is not as serious as you say. Their words might be harsh when they argued with Mr. Rayne, but that was because they were in the heat of the moment. If anything, this should be a civil case…"
Walter stared at Shandra. His heart was wrenching.
He felt sorry that the once aloof and arrogant woman had fallen so low.
Just because she hated her, she had opposed him in every case that he took on, even if it violated her morals.
This time, she had offered her services pro bono to Jennifer and her daughter, just so that she could defeat him in court…
Walter had witnessed Shandra's growth in the past few cases.
She was indeed witty and cunning, especially when it came to loopholes. He almost lost to her several times, if not that he was very good at quibbling too.
To make up for her, he had allowed her to win several times.
Now, the case was related to Bianca, Luke's woman. He could not let her win this time.
"Ms. Cullen, the alleged know that Mr. Rayne was terminally sick and would die at anytime, but they used harsh language to verbally attack him anyway, and the entire incident was recorded by the security camera. You cannot deny that, right? There is no doubt that the actions of the alleged are deliberate, and that is grounds to conclude that they have committed homicide. They need to bear criminal responsibility!" Walter retorted.
They continued to trade barbs in the courtroom. Neither of them wanted to let the other win.
Both lawyers were the best in their field. Their arguments trumped one another.
Bianca's heart was in her throat. She almost could not breathe.
She did not expect that the female lawyer could be a match for Walter, and she feared that Walter might lose. novelbin
She could not accept it if Jennifer and Marie received a reduced sentence.
Luke placed his palm over Bianca's hand. Perhaps he could sense her unease. "Don't worry. Walter will definitely win," he comforted her.
He trusted in Walter’s abilities.
Shandra might be a good debater, but she was nonetheless no match for Walter.
Indeed, Walter did not let them down…
The judge knocked the gavel and gave his judgment. "Jennifer Lee and Marie Rayne, your deliberately harsh language have directly caused the death of the terminally ill Kevin Rayne, and the prosecutor has proved that beyond reasonable doubt that you have committed homicide. I hereby sentence you to ten years in prison and a fine of 90,000 dollars. If you are not satisfied with this judgment, you can raise your appeal to this court or the A City Court of Appeals within ten days of receiving the written judgment…"
Marie had been keeping quiet all the while, but when she heard the judgment, she pounced up as though she had lost her mind, but the bailiff restrained her.
Marie yelled and cursed at Bianca. "Bianca, you evil witch! This is all your fault in the first place. If you didn't become a surrogate mother, Kevin Rayne would not have died! I will not let you go. I will appeal!"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 350- Luke’s Deep Kiss
Bianca stepped out of the courtroom. The sky was clear once again.
The sun was as bright as usual, and she felt as though a heavy burden was lifted from her heart.
Jennifer and Marie had received their just desserts.
Luke was hugging Bianca's waist. He saw that her brows were tightly knotted, and he could not guess what she was thinking. "You seem to be lost in thought. What are you thinking?" He asked softly.
"I was thinking whether the judgment would be different if Jennifer and Marie appealed." Bianca sighed.
Luke's gaze turned cold. "It wont. If they appeal, I can guarantee that their sentence will be even more severe."
He had ways to make those despicable characters' lives a living hell.
Bianca leaned gently on Luke's shoulder.
His strong and rhythmic heartbeat calmed her down. "Thank you for all that you do for me."
Bianca understood that without him, putting Jennifer and Marie to justice would be a long and arduous ordeal, if that were even possible in the first place.
Luke held her wrist and stuffed her into the passenger seat of his car. Then, he sat in the driver's seat.
"Where are we going…" Just when Bianca opened her mouth, the man's hand gripped her delicate lower jaw, and he kissed her on her lips.
Bianca’s breathing and heartbeat became faster!
Luke did not give her a chance to take a break. His warm breath filled the air around her face.
Bianca felt like she was being punished by that kiss.
The man ravaged her oral cavity with his tongue and excited her senses.
Bianca was losing her strength from the kiss. She felt as though she was floating in the air, and she moaned, "Mmh…"
Her reaction made Luke even wilder.
He would have claimed her if not that they were still in the car!
"Are you going to be so formal with me next time, hmm?" Luke had to let go of Bianca. His lower abdomen was feeling uncomfortable.
He was afraid that if he continued kissing her, his restraint would reduce to nothing.
Bianca gasped for fresh air. She understood why he was punishing her with that kiss.
It turned out that the man did not want her to be so formal with him.
Bianca blushed and answered softly, "I won't do that again…" "Good girl," the man said softly with a smile. "If you make this mistake again, I won't go so easy on you." novelbin
The man's covetous gaze seemed to have stripped her clothes away.
Bianca blushed. All his "punishments" involved sex. She could not take it anymore…
Luke started the car.
Bianca looked at Luke's clean hand that was holding the steering wheel.
She coughed gently and asked, "Are we going back to the company?"
Luke smiled. ’Mm. I'll finish up my business, then we'll go on a date."
T Corporation.
Bianca and Luke stepped into the CEO's personal elevator.
The couple's reflection was seen in the mirror of the elevator. One was tall and handsome, while the other was petite and delicate.
Bianca suddenly realized that she had skipped work again to attend Jennifer and Marie's trial.
She was embarrassed by the fact that in the few months she had been working at T Corporation, she was the employee who had been absent for the most days.
The department lead would lose her mind again…
Luke's spirited eyes stared at Bianca. He thought that her ever-changing expression was very adorable.
"Stop staring at me!" Bianca became nervous when she noticed that Luke was staring at her eagerly.
She was afraid that Luke might morph into a thirsty beast in the cramped space of the elevator.
Unexpectedly, Luke patted her hair and kissed her forehead, and that was all he did.
On the top floor, Luke walked out of the elevator while Bianca followed behind.
She had to keep her distance in the company. Being too intimate with him would attract rumors.
It was not the first time that Bianca was in the CEO's office. However, they had made out in the office's bedroom, and that had made her feel awkward being inside.
"Hm? Sis? Didn't you take the day off? Why are you here?" Louis said lazily as he walked toward them.
"Are you sneaking out again, Louis?" Luke glared at the playboy.
"Nah. I thought I’d step outside for a while to get some fresh air and smoke a cigarette…" Louis answered guiltily.
He knew that his brother was with Bianca at the trial, and he thought that he could skip work.
Unfortunately for him, he met Luke and Bianca just when he was about to go out!
Luke instantly called out his lie. "You have a smoking area in your manager's office. Doesn't that satisfy you? How about this. If you don't want to stay in the headquarters, how about I transfer you to South Africa?"
Louis instantly became flustered. "Have mercy on me, my dear brother! I shouldn't have skipped work. I'll return to my desk now! Please don't transfer me to South Africa. I won't have any fun there! See how cruel Brother can be, Sis. Can you help me change his mind?"
Louis glanced resentfully at Bianca as though complaining to her about Luke's cruelty.
Bianca nearly burst out laughing.
Louis was already an adult, but he acted like a child.
He might be a playboy, but Bianca could not bring herself to dislike him.
Bianca held Luke's elbow and said, "Alright, don't scare Louis. He can help you when he's in the headquarters."
Louis nodded eagerly. "Sis is very right, Brother. Aren't we family? With me around, I can take over some of your tasks. If I went to South Africa, you would have one less helper!"
However, what Bianca said next nearly made Louis pass out. "Luke, it's almost the year-end holiday. You can hand all your tasks on hand to Louis, so you can spend more time with me and the children. Wouldn't it be fun if we went to the Maldives together as a family?" "…" Louis was speechless.
