Leia endured her fear, and with his sharp gaze locked on her, she nodded.When a knock suddenly sounded from her door, Leia was shocked. She looked at the door and was not sure if she had locked it just now. "Yes?"Queenie's voice came from outside. "Leia, why are your lights still on at this hour? Why aren’t you asleep?""Mom, I just took a shower and I’m going to bed soon." Leia turned her head and looked at Wayne warily. He was still holding a knife in his hand.She was afraid that he would lose control and rush out to stab Queenie. She could not afford for that to happen. At least, not yet.Queenie's voice sounded again from outside. "Okay, sleep tight! Remember to blow dry your hair before you go to bed so you won’t catch a cold.""I will, Mom. Good night!" Leia could not relax for fear that Wayne would act irrationally.Queenie headed to the master bedroom after she heard Leia’s reply.Leia's nerves relaxed slightly when she heard the sound of footsteps going farther and
Crawford Mansion was in chaos.Since the thief had yet to be caught, Susan clamored in front of Old Master Crawford every day to complain about Luke. She said that Luke was not taking it seriously and he only cared about his own happiness, not caring about Thea's injury at all.Old Master Crawford was upset by her never-ending rambling, so he summoned the family and invited them to the mansion for dinner.Luke went back with Bianca and the kids. They walked into the living room and noticed Susan, who was alone in the living room. Bianca sighed and prepared herself for another storm."Lanie, Rainie, go upstairs to do your homework. If there’s something that you don't understand, make a note of it and I’ll come up to help you with it later." Bianca handed the school bags to the twins. There were certain matters that she did not want to involve the kids in. Blanche and Rainie nodded and carried their school bags upstairs.Tommy eagerly called out to Susan, "Grandma Susan!"Susan
"I’m not struggling!" Rainie made a face at Blanche as she slowly did her homework.Blanche shook his head indifferently and played with the trinkets on the table.Luke watched by the side as his daughter finished the last question. She then handed her workbook to Bianca. "Mom, I'm done."Bianca checked and found that there was no problem with it. She then signed her name at the bottom of the page."Mommy, Daddy, can I go play?" Rainie asked while blinking her big round eyes."Go for it, but don’t go out of control." Bianca agreed and helped them put their workbooks in their school bags.Rainie and Blanche walked out of the study.Bianca put the school bags aside. She only felt comfortable talking about the break-in after the children left."Did Grandpa blame you?" She put her hand on the back of his hand and asked with concern.Luke grabbed her hand and rubbed her fingers lightly as he replied, "No."Bianca knew that Old Master Crawford was a reasonable man. However, this wa
The next day, which happened to be Saturday, Bianca went to pick up a fancy fruit basket. After returning to the manor, she set off to Allison's residence with Luke.In the car, Tommy muttered, "Daddy, Mommy, you promised to take me to the amusement park. Why are we going to Grandma's house?"The plan to take the kids to the amusement park was put on hold for a while because of Luke and Bianca’s busy schedules.Fortunately, Tommy was an understanding and considerate child. He was just a little emotional because he had been waiting for so long.Bianca and Luke looked at each other and discussed in a low voice, "Are you going to work tomorrow?""No," Luke replied."Should we go to the amusement park tomorrow?" Bianca discussed it with him.“Sounds good." Luke agreed. It was worth taking a day off to spend it with his family.Bianca looked at Tommy, who was puffing out his cheeks. He was grumpy from being woken up earlier and at them for not keeping their promise. She smiled and c
Bianca touched Rainie's head and did not answer her question. Instead, she asked, "Rainie, do you want to go to class later?"Rainie and Lanie had extracurricular classes planned for the day, but to make Allison happy, Bianca took a leave of absence for them and brought them to Allison’s place instead.However, Allison was pulling a long face and was not welcoming, so she planned to leave after Luke took the box.Rainie did not think too much about it and nodded, saying, "Okay, Mommy.""I'm going too," Blanche said. If it were not for his mother's request, he would already be in his extracurricular class.Elsa brought out a pot of tea and walked to the living room. She saw Bianca still standing there and greeted her, "Madam, take a seat and have a cup of tea."Bianca shook her head and replied, "No, we're leaving soon."When Bianca said that, Elsa glanced at the children with a smile while saying, "Okay, I'll go back to the kitchen first. If there’s anything you need, let me kno
Bianca watched Luke drive away and closed the door of the villa.She had a hunch that the truth behind the break-in of Crawford Manor would soon be revealed."Mommy?" Tommy woke up in her arms.Seeing that Tommy had woken up, Bianca put him on the ground and touched his little head as she said, "You’re up? Do you want to have some fruit?""Yeah!" Tommy looked around and did not see Luke, so he asked, "Where’s Daddy?""He has something to attend to and has to go back to the company." Bianca took his hand and walked into the living room.When he heard that, Tommy became nervous and asked, "Will Daddy be busy tomorrow?"Bianca took out an apple from the refrigerator. She smiled and promised Tommy. "Don't worry, no matter how busy we are tomorrow, we’re taking you to the amusement park."Tommy clapped his hands happily. He stood by the side while waiting for Bianca to peel and cut the apples into slices. He picked up a slice and said as he ate, "Thank you, Mommy."Seeing Tommy's l
Hearing that, Gordan did not tease him any further. He glanced at the time, stood up, and said, "Send me the address of the workshop, I’ll head there now."Luke sent him a location on Whatsapp and said, "Let me know as soon as you hear anything.""You have my word," Gordan assured.Gordan arrived at the workshop and successfully found Allison’s car. While the staff was not paying attention, he removed the dashcam. In order not to alert Allison, he installed another one in her car.After everything was done, Gordan left without any of the staff noticing.After he returned to the hotel, he ignored Vivian, who was waiting for him on the sofa, and went straight back to the room. He closed the door, connected the dashcam to the computer, and started working on it.After importing all the data, Gordan sent Luke a text: [The dashcam has been obtained and we’ll find out more tomorrow.]When he was done sending the text, there was a knock on the door.Gordan was happy with the progress,
Simon could not keep his eyes off Rainie. Luke said in a cold tone, "I'm not responsible if you get lost.""Uncle Luke, I’ll follow you closely and make sure I don't get lost." Simon gave a thumbs up.There were many people around. Tommy was small and might get separated if they did not pay close attention. Hence, Luke picked up Tommy. As for Simon, Luke was not interested in babysitting other people’s children.When Luke would not grant him permission, Simon looked at Bianca with pursed lips. "Aunt Bianca, my life is so miserable. Since getting a younger sister, my dad doesn't care about me anymore. I’m a poor orphan."The three bodyguards broke out in a cold sweat when they heard what their young master said. If his father heard this, they would be punished.Seeing Simon acting sad, Bianca softened up and said, "Okay, but don't run around. You have to be obedient.""Okay, Aunt Bianca. I'll listen to every word you say. I'll protect Rainie!" As soon as he got permission from Bia
