Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 141

From the sound of Xavier's tone, he did not seem like he was joking at all.

It was precisely because of how serious he looked that Bianca could feel cold sweat all over her body when she looked at him.

"You’re the one who took away my grandpa?” Bianca asked.

Xavier looked at her eyes that were full of panic and hatred. He answered her seriously, "Duh. Who else would take away your grandfather secretly?”

Both of them looked into each other’s eyes.

With tears in her eyes, Bianca hit him like a madwoman as she tried to get away from him. "You despicable and shameless man! You’ve committed a crime! You’ve kidnapped a person!”

Xavier grabbed her fragile body with his big hands. He no longer allowed her to punch and kick him as she pleased. "What do you know about crimes, little girl? You’re just a little girl who’s still wet in your ears!”

When she could not kick or move anymore, Xavier pointed the screen of his phone to her.

She watched.

A video played on Xavier's cell phone. She could not tell who the person recording was, but the person in view was Xavier and Grandpa.

They looked very close like a grandfather and his grandson.

"Grandpa, Bea didn’t want you to find out that she passed out from tiredness. So when we get there, you have to pretend to not know about it when she wakes up,” Xavier smiled and said to Grandpa.

At the same time, Xavier helped Grandpa carry his suitcase.

Grandpa looked very grateful for Xavier and left with him.

The CCTVs in the neighborhood did not work. Only when something major happened, the city councils paid attention to it and sent people to replace them. Therefore, the scene where Xavier took Grandpa away was not in the surveillance tapes.

After the video was played, Xavier played another video.

The old grandfather was tied at his mouth. He was struggling and could barely make any noise. There was a young man with an iron rod who hit it on the pole that Grandpa was tied onto.

The loud noise and shock nearly made Grandpa faint from fright.

‘An old man like him won’t be able to withstand it…’

"I’m going to call the police." Bianca could not believe what she was seeing in the video.

She shook her head and cried as she said to Xavier, "Do you want to go to jail again? Release my grandpa. I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but what does you needing a wife have got to do with me? Please, go find someone else..."

Xavier did not say anything else. He put away his phone and showed her the time on his watch.

It was ten minutes after five.

Before she looked away from his watch, she heard a loud noise. He threw the phone toward the middle of the road and a car passing by ran over it.

The phone was completely crushed under the car.

"Since I’ve done this, you nor the police will be able to get any substantive evidence." Xavier let go of her.

Before he turned around, the man raised his eyebrows and left her with a sentence. "It's almost six o'clock. You'd better think clearly and decide whether you want to collect your grandpa's body or register our marriage."

After speaking, he turned around.

When he was about to light up a cigarette, Bianca asked while she was out of her own wits, "What about the law?”

Xavier heard her voice and turned around again. "The law? Laws are determined by man and cases are investigated by man. You should know that there are people outside of the law. Besides, I haven't done anything yet."

"But you said that you’re going to do it!”

"Do what? End your grandfather’s life?" Xavier stared at her and earnestly said, "Even if I get caught in the future, let’s not discuss whether I’ll be punished by the law for now, since the police won’t get any evidence. Let’s just focus on whether I think your grandpa’s life is worth betting on. Even just that is quite fun.”

"You pervert." Bianca was sad and angry.

Xavier seemed to disagree with her statement and thought for a while. "I’m sure there are others much more perverted than me in this world. Haven't you met anyone more perverted than me?" It was clear that he was referring to Luke.

"It's 5:20 pm." Xavier glanced at the time and stepped forward, grabbing her trembling hand.

…

The T Corporation Building.

Luke left the office and drove the car out from the basement parking. He took his phone and gave Bianca a call.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable…”

He called her a few times, but no one picked up.

He called Jason.

Jason answered but said, "Sorry Mr. Crawford, I didn't see Ms. Bianca coming back to her place.”

"Go up and ring her doorbell. Call me back later."

Luke finished speaking and hung up.

The Black Range Rover drove straight to the nearby children's extracurricular classes. When Blanche led Rainie out, he saw Daddy on the phone.

...

Century Hotel.

Daniel and his wife greeted their relatives who had been called over at the last minute.

When he was free, Daniel looked at his wife and whispered, "Look what you did. Everything’s in a rush. Couldn’t we wait till next weekend to have this dinner?”

"No," Mrs. Tanner stared at him and whispered to her husband as she grumbled, "I’ve waited too long for our son to finally get married. How can I suppress this joy in my heart?"

Daniel stopped talking. Everyone was already invited and the dinner was going to happen anyway.

Allison rushed to the hotel, got out of the car, and went up.

At the entrance of the private hall, Allison hugged her sister-in-law and said with a smile, "I thought that it was a pity that I had to miss Xavier’s celebration party after his release but who would’ve thought that I’d be here for Xavier’s reception dinner today? Please forgive me, I've just been so busy.”

"It’s fine.” Mrs. Tanner smiled. “Last night, I was just telling Xavier that you were even angry on behalf of me for not doing his duty as a son. I told him that you didn’t want to attend his party because he was already a man in his 30s who still hasn’t gotten married and doesn’t have kids. Who would’ve thought? Xavier informed us that he’s going to get married today. He’s tied the knot and kept his promise.”

Allison could tell that her sister-in-law was showing off, and she could hear the hint of sarcasm in her tone. Since she wanted to show her brother some respect, she did not try to argue with her. She went inside and sat down.

Everyone seated in the private hall were relatives, so Allison quickly started chatting enthusiastically.

When Daniel entered the private hall, he called Allison over.

Allison turned around.

Daniel asked, "Why didn't Luke come with you? Didn't you say that you were going to call him?”

"Granduncle…”

Just when Daniel had finished asking her, a kid’s voice was heard. Two little kids ignored their daddy as they ran into the private hall together.

Instantly, the two little kids became the center of everyone’s attention in the room.

At the lobby of Century Hotel.

Xavier entered the hotel with two marriage certificates in his left hand and his wife in his right hand.

Bianca was like an unconscious puppet at the mercy of Xavier.

In the elevator, Xavier's soft voice sounded, "Don't look so sad. Your grandfather has been sent to the hospital. Once you finish this dinner with me, I’ll take you to see your grandpa."

As the elevator ascended, Xavier finished speaking. He turned around and helped the expressionless Bianca. He tidied her hair and stared at her clean, beautiful little face...

The elevator door opened.

He grabbed Bianca's hand and she was forced to walk to the reserved private hall.

When the door of the hall was pushed open, cold air rushed toward her face. Before she had the courage to look up at everyone, she heard Xavier putting down the two marriage certificates on the round table. With one hand on her waist, he introduced her to everyone. "My wife, Bianca."
