Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 179

After Luke left, Bianca felt relieved, though not completely.

She washed the dishes in the sink as she sighed in her heart. She did not know what was wrong with her.

When he said he had something to take care of tonight, she could not help but recall what Yvonne said in the office.

Yvonne was right about this.

Perhaps it was true that all men liked the bodies of young women.

Even though Bianca felt that at only 24 years old, she was not old and was in fact pretty young, she was no match for the 19-year-old Yvonne.

In men’s eyes, there was a huge difference between a woman who had given birth and a woman who had not given birth.

The internet was pretty advanced now. Bianca knew there were a lot of horrible men and stupid women. It was just a matter of one bad thought whether she would become one.

A man like Luke was rich and powerful. He was good-looking and even had a hot body, so it was not weird that women would cling to him.

How would he love a woman forever just because he confessed his love to her?

…

Jason arrived downstairs at 7:40 PM.

When Bianca brought the kids downstairs, she planned to take the subway.

The little kids also stated that they loved the subway.

“Mr. Crawford called me before he went about his business. He told me that I have to get here before you go out,” Jason said. He was treating Bianca like she was the boss lady.

However, Bianca recalled what Luke had said last night. He said he did not ask Jason to send some clean pants over because Jason was on a date.

It was important for a man to accompany his girlfriend.

Plus, it was time for him to get work.

Bianca did not want to trouble Jason and was worried that his girlfriend would be mad, so she said, “It’s convenient and faster for us to take the subway. You can just go about your business, Mr. Doyle.”

Jason smiled and said, “My life is dedicated to working for my boss. Don’t be so polite with me, Miss Rayne. Get in.”

Bianca still refused to get in.

Jason should have some private time too!

“Perhaps you’ve never brought the kids out before, so you have no idea how tiring it is. If you don’t pay attention for one second, the kids will…” Jason did not dare to exaggerate. He did not want to be responsible for this.

They were the prince and princess of the Crawfords.

In the end, Bianca and the kids got into the Bentley.

They were just going to buy some pajamas. This was too much!

…

Centercourt Mall.

Bianca did not know what price range the pajamas should be in. However, in order to make her precious babies happy, she was willing to spend more.

Back then, she missed out on five years of her children’s life. Now, she could only slowly get used to their lives.

On the other end of the city, Luke sat in his office and started working. This was the second time he transformed into a workaholic after he was rescued from the crisis upon inheriting Crawford Industries.

Every minute and every second was important to him.

His world had already been occupied by the dull and boring numbers and data. The neverending tasks and duty would be brought in front of him the moment he woke up until the moment he went to rest.

He had to keep signing and keep reading contracts. He also had never-ending decisions to make.

Before he went to the town, he still had to settle at least ten days’ worth of work here in advance.

Every day he got to spend with Bianca was extremely precious. He did not want to be disturbed and occupied by his busy work when that time came.

It was 9 PM when Jason went back to the office building.

The night view of the busy city was reflected in his eyes through the glass windows. His busy boss’ eyes were shifting between the documents and the computer screen. He was like a person made out of iron. He never knew what exhaustion meant.

He had too much on his shoulders.

…

Bianca put the children to sleep.

Then, she got up and got herself a glass of water in the kitchen. She glanced at the time and noticed that it was almost ten. Luke was not back yet.

She had her back against the counter. She stood there silently with her glass and forgot to drink it.

Before Luke left, he did not specify whether he would leave the kids to her the next time this happened again. Should she do whatever she wanted with them?

Bianca did not know why she was slightly upset. It should be a good thing that he had left. He would not be an obstacle to her.

However, why did she feel like this?

Was she feeling injustice for the kids? Was it because back then they had the love of a father but lacked the love of a mother, and now, they had the love of a mother but were without the love of a father?

After pondering for a while, Bianca decided to go to bed after she developed a headache.

However, she had a nightmare. She dreamed that Lanie and Ranie told her they hated her.

Lanie pointed at her and said, “Go away! I don’t want a mother like you! It’s you! It’s all because of you! You’re the one who pushed Daddy away to that horrible woman! We don’t have the love of a father anymore and we’ll never get to see him again! Daddy has a baby with Aunty Yvonne and he doesn’t want us anymore!”

Bianca woke up from her sleep in the middle of the night.

She opened her eyes and looked around the room. After coming back to her senses, she looked at Rainie who was sleeping next to her using the aid of the moonlight. She touched her face that was drenched in sweat and sat up.

She turned around to look at the time and it was already 1 AM.

Bianca went out to take a look. There were only three pairs of shoes at the door. This meant that Luke was not back yet. She had given him a spare key yesterday.

Where did he go?

Was he with Yvonne?

She recalled the times he got blue-balled when he was with her and his pained face when he could not get release. When she thought about that, Bianca could not breathe. Did he go to Yvonne… to get release?

Yvonne would satisfy his needs…

As she kept thinking about this, it felt like she had gone into a trance. She finally came back to reality a few moments later. She pressed onto her head with both hands to wake herself up.

‘Bianca, what’s wrong with you?

‘You’re not Luke’s wife. Are you perhaps meddling a little too much in his life?

‘You gave birth to Lanie and Ranie for him five years ago. It was just a trade. Now, he’s allowing you to get in contact with the kids, so why are you still complaining?

‘You want to dominate a man who towers above everyone. Are you brainless?’

After some self-realization, Bianca lay down again. After a long while, she finally felt sleepy.

However, her nightmare continued.

She had this kind of experience before. However, it was not as draining as this time.

In her nightmare, Rainie hugged her father’s leg and glared at her. She said, “I don’t want you either. My daddy raised us for five years and what about you? Where were you? My daddy doesn’t like you, so we don’t like you anymore!”

“Don’t go. Please don’t go.” She became a shrew in her nightmare. She watched as another woman took her babies away. She grabbed Luke’s sleeve and pleaded with tears streaming down her face, “Don’t you want me? I'll give myself to you. I’ll give myself to you now. Please don’t take Lanie and Rainie away…”

“I’m not leaving. I’m here,” a man’s deep and alluring voice said in her ear hoarsely.

Bianca did not know whether it was a nightmare or reality.

She struggled for a while. When she opened her eyes and peered through her tears, she saw that it was morning. Luke’s delicate features were magnified in front of her. She was stunned as she lifted her head in his arms. Then, her lips accidentally touched his lower jaw.
