The Tanner family’s manor.Daniel stood on the balcony on the second floor, currently in a bad mood.Mrs. Tanner went upstairs and took a long time before she found her husband."So what are you going to do?” Mrs. Tanner knew her husband's temper. Usually, he was calm, but his son always managed to push him to the edge.After all, she was the one who gave birth to her son. No matter how much of a jerk he was, she still wanted to protect him as his mother.Mr. Tanner snorted. "When your son comes back, let's see what reasonable explanation he’ll give Old Master Crawford.”Mrs. Tanner was anxious. "Isn't this obvious? What explanation do we still need? Don't you understand your son? The most important thing right now isn’t to listen to our son’s explanation but to think of a countermeasure to calm Old Master Crawford down from his anger!"As his parents, they knew their son’s thoughts and ways best.They thought it was strange that their son had suddenly announced his marriage an
Luke stood at the door.She was not sure if the man was standing there intentionally, but her way out was blocked. There was just a door, but his body was firmly blocking the way…Allison sat on the sofa and remained silent. She let the Tanner family speak first. Her brother had the first say, then her sister-in-law could add on. On the Crawfords’ side, she had Old Master Crawford.She did not have the place to speak at all.That moment, her son, who was the head of their household, came over.Everyone who was human in the living room did not speak.Allison wanted to move things on faster. No one wanted to get rid of Bianca more than she did.In the end, she could not help it anymore. Allison got up from the sofa and walked to the door to take Blanche over. At the same time, she said to the two people who were blocking the doorway. "Sit down. Xavier should be back soon.""Grandpa called me over. What's the matter?" Luke's calm voice sounded. He heeded his mother’s words, went t
Bianca looked up and saw Xavier."How’s Grandpa doing?" Xavier did not disturb Bianca and the little guy. He walked straight toward the front of the bed.No one answered his question.Bianca instinctively put her guard up. The little guy at her feet held her thigh and raised his head. He mouthed without making any noise, “Don’t be scared, Aunt Bea. Daddy will be back soon.”Xavier sat in front of the bed and looked at the old man with the scabs on his face. He could not help but feel resentful. How could those people hurt the old man like that?However, if he had not been hurt, Xavier would not have been able to force Bianca to obey him.After thinking about it, he started to have an internal struggle. ‘Is it wrong to do whatever it takes to achieve my goal? Or is it human nature to do so? If you’re not ruthless, you’ll miss out a lot.’Grandpa woke up.He weakly asked, "Xavier, you’re here?""Grandpa." Bianca came over and hurriedly put a pillow behind Grandpa's head.Xavier
Luke’s brows furrowed slightly, his dignified expression still a little upset. She knew why he was feeling upset."Can you show some respect?" Bianca pulled out her hand to avoid any more unnecessary touching.Out of her expectation, the man gripped her wrist even tighter the very next moment.Luke's deep and piercingly cold gaze was chilling as he looked at her flickering eyes. "How do I show my respect to you? Should I address you as my cousin-in-law?”His tone was sarcastic and cold.Bianca was once again annoyed by his words. "If that’s what you want to call me, I don't mind."Just when the man was on the verge of breaking her wrist, Grandpa said, “Bea, have you packed the kid’s school bag?”Bianca could not say anything from the pain she was feeling. Her wrist would have broken if he had not loosened his grip.Luke's cannibalistic appearance was reflected in her misty eyes. She lowered her head, gritted her teeth silently, and broke away from his grip..."Say goodbye to G
Faye crossed the road.Bianca stared at Faye who was more than ten meters away. The woman then crossed the road from another crosswalk...Bianca did not cross the crosswalk to get to work, but she was sneakily following Faye…Her work, her project, and everything else became unimportant at that moment.‘Bianca, why are you doing this?’As she walked, she interrogated herself.In the end, however, she could not get a real answer.She refused to admit to herself that she actually wanted to see the kid that she gave birth to last time, even if it was only one look. That was why she subconsciously followed Faye and tried to find more information about the kid from last time.Faye crossed the road and walked straight to the T Corporation building.Bianca looked up at the company logo and frowned.‘What was Faye doing here?’In such a short time, she could not think of an exact answer.Bianca followed Faye into the company. When she passed through the revolving doors, she deliber
"The department head of the design team told me that there’s a newcomer in their department called Bianca Rayne. I heard that Bianca’s hometown is located in the town where our project is going to be developed. I wanted to learn more about the customs of the town from her at the meeting, but her team leader said that she didn't come to work..." After the senior officer finished speaking, the officer looked up at the boss.After observing the boss, he found that his boss did not look annoyed. On the contrary, there was a faint smile on his face.A fleeting smile.After working at T Corporation for many years, it was the first time he saw the boss smile… Furthermore, it was because a subordinate was absent from work for no reason.Luke's sharp eyes rested on the town's design drawings.He was not surprised that Bianca did not come to work.…At the subway station.Bianca bought a ticket and went in.Not far ahead, Faye led the two little kids and they stood together while they w
Bianca took the subway to her office. On the way there, she took out her phone and could not resist calling Luke.She urgently wanted to get an accurate answer from that man."Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.""..."‘Why is his phone turned off?’Bianca frowned slightly and did not give up. She called him again.However, she got the same result.The number she dialed was Luke's private number. Outsiders did not have it and only his family and close friends had it.He was the only one who could decide whether to turn it on or off.However, Bianca remembered that Luke once personally told her that that phone was turned on 24 hours a day and that she could find him whenever she needed.When she thought about it, she understood why Luke's private phone was turned off.Previously, his thin and sexy lips were intimately pressed against her cheeks before they moved toward her ears. When he kissed her, he told her that she could find him anytim
When she was back in the design department, she turned on her laptop and looked at the current appearance of the town that was to be developed.Luke wanted to develop the small town which she had never thought of.According to neighbors, the development of the town seemed to have been going for several years now.Most of the houses were marked for demolition.‘Are you alright? Will you be able to work well?’ Sue sent a message and asked Bianca.Bianca replied, ‘I’m fine.’Even though Bianca said that she was fine, the truth was she was still distracted and could not get herself to focus on work.After working for a few minutes, she would start thinking about those two cute little kids, Rainie and Lanie. Their faces would float into her mind.After drawing something for half an hour, Bianca got up to get some water to drink. She started thinking about Luke’s strange temperament again. Lately, she could not tell how he was feeling. When they were in the hospital yesterday, he had
