She cried in Luke's arms for a long, long time until the surrounding crickets quieted down. Bianca had tired herself from crying and felt a faint soreness in her lower abdomen and lower back.It was a feeling that she had for years which she experienced once every month.Only this time, it seemed to have come many days in advance.When a woman’s body did not get enough rest, the body would react abnormally, and that included having irregular periods.Bianca withdrew from his arms. She was anxious and embarrassed. She squeezed out the warm tears from her eyes.When Luke’s chest suddenly felt empty, he looked sadly at her and asked, “Should we head back to A City or continue looking around the town? Does Grandpa have any relatives in town?”He would respect any decision she made."Grandpa doesn’t have any relatives in town..."Bianca suddenly thought that if Grandpa really ran away from home, he would never return to town.When she thought about it, she started worrying about Gr
Bianca slept until seven o'clock in the morning.Mornings in the small town were no better than mornings in A City. Since the main street was only a few meters away from the guest house, it was very noisy.The sound of people selling things early in the street naturally floated toward Bianca's ears.After she slowly woke up, Bianca saw that she was in the guest house’s tiny room. It was mostly empty except for the narrow bed she lay on. The windows were open and the air conditioner was turned off.Although her body was uncomfortable due to her period, she was able to get one of the most peaceful nights of sleep last night in recent days.Bianca got up, took the phone next to the pillow, and looked at the time. It was already past seven o'clock.Where did Luke go?When she left the room to change her pads, the lady owner passed by her and said to Bianca, "You’re up early. Your husband is outside having a smoke.”Bianca nodded blankly.The husband she mentioned was obviously ref
"Two? That's fast! You guys have already given birth twice…" The child's mother looked at Bianca with shock. "You don't look like you've been pregnant before! I would've never guessed it! A mother of two!" Bianca smiled awkwardly. After chatting for a while and before leaving the town, Luke called his ex-classmate to talk between the two of them. Luke looked very serious as he said something to his ex-classmate. The ex-classmate who was carrying the child listened seriously, then nodded his head before nodding again. On their way back to A City, Bianca did not ask him about anything. In a daze, she slept in the car again. When they were back in the city center, the road was stable again. Luke also drove slower because he was afraid that she would wake up. In the end, she slept all the way until they reached the apartment. She was slowly woken up by her period cramps. When Bianca opened her eyes, she forcefully took a few breaths. She pressed her lower abdomen with both
Bianca entered the subway.On the way from Luke's apartment to the subway station, she did not look back, but she knew that Luke was following her the entire way quietly. He was still worried about her.The train moved, and after many stops, it finally arrived at her destination.Bianca went down and walked toward the exit.…Her neighborhood.Bianca saw the police and Jason.She walked toward Jason. After Jason saw her, he stopped smoking and turned around to look at her. Initially, he thought that she was with Mr. Crawford."Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Doyle. Go back and rest," Bianca said gratefully and sincerely.Jason knew that his job was to do things for other people. However, it was the first time someone had verbally thanked him, so he could not help but be a little embarrassed. "It's fine. If you want to thank someone, thank Mr. Crawford."He would never forget to give credit to his boss."Bea!" Sue got out of the car with a laptop in her hands.Bianca raise
There were faint red marks on Bianca's face which were particularly eye-catching.Sue sat in front and was nearer to the boss. She held a signing pen and did not dare to look her boss in the eye, even more so than usual.The air-conditioning in the conference room was on full blast, but when their boss’ face darkened, the room felt colder. It was as if the air had condensed into an invisible layer of ice, freezing everyone's expressions."What's happened to your face?"In the silent atmosphere, the boss suddenly asked calmly.No one dared to answer.Since the head of their department had not arrived yet, as the team leader, Sue had to put on a bold face and tell her boss in detail, “A male colleague suddenly went crazy and grabbed a bunch of folders to hit Bianca in the face."It was a serious meeting and not a private one. Bianca looked up and said, "It's nothing. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Crawford."When Sue heard that, her heart cracked!Bianca was acting too distant.
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
"Aunt Bea..."Bianca heard a voice and looked up.It was Lanie.The Tanner family even invited the Crawford family…The interior design of the private hall was luxurious. The round table was seated fully around. She knew some of them while the others were strangers. The table was also full of expensive dishes and famous wines.Rainie's little pink chubby face emerged from the desserts.Her eyes inevitably swept over to the man’s suddenly darkened face. Bianca immediately felt as if dark clouds were pressing down on her. She lowered her head and tried to pull her hand out of Xavier's big hand.Not only did Xavier not let go of her, but he also pulled a chair out while still having his arms around her. He said, "Sit next to my mom."The colors of the two marriage certificates were dazzling. They were as red as two big pools of mosquito blood."From now on, we’re a family, Bea. Don't be scared. No matter what, I’ll always be there as your mother.”Grandaunt said those words spec
When Luke's eyes fell on her, there were no obvious reactions.Just when she was at a loss and did not know whether to exit or stay, he frowned and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. He took his phone, got up, and left the huge conference room.The meeting room had two doors.He walked through the other door.Bianca stood there for a long, long time before she remembered what she was there for.She turned on the machine and turned down the volume. After putting on the headset, she then looked at the meeting content displayed on the projection screen. She jotted down the key points while she watched the recording, her fingers typing away on her laptop’s keyboard in front of her.After recording down the content of the previous meeting, it was already past three in the afternoon when Bianca went back down.Sue had been waiting for her for a long time.When she saw Bianca, Sue thoughtfully placed a cup of coffee on her table. "I heard from Jason that you’ve found your gran
