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
She had been looking for this man all day.Unexpectedly, she ran into him here.It was just that the situation… Looked a bit bad.He was a wealthy and spendthrift customer, while she was the ordinary service staff in all aspects. She was even holding her suitcase and selling birth control products.Luke exhaled a mouthful of green smoke. When he spoke to her, everyone in the private room who could hear them also looked over.All the men present were his old acquaintances.Most of them went to a school with him and some had been classmates with Luke since elementary school.The other half were inseparable good family friends.Very few of those men were married, and the unmarried men had girlfriends as well as various friends with benefits.Luke alone was the only one without dirt among the people around him.Due to the puzzling fact, someone who did not fear death once sent a beautiful and obedient guy to Luke's bed.What he thought was that if Luke did not like women, he sho
Right then, however, Bianca could not care less.Even if she knew it was a trap, she walked right into it without hesitation.She even knew what request she was going to ask him.Her request was none other than the fact that she wanted to know if Lanie and Rainie were her children and if he was the employer from five years ago..."The advantage of using this thing is..." Bianca embarrassedly regurgitated what she had learned during the half-hour training. "In addition to the contraceptive function, the most important function of condoms is to prevent the spread of various sexually transmitted diseases. It effectively reduces the infection rate of common diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea, and AIDS. Therefore, it’s also a form of protection..."Her head was filled with the two questions that she wanted to ask him. Bianca hurriedly answered the questions he asked before."Then what about this?" Luke put down the birth control product and picked up a sex toy.On the packaging box
After Bianca got her nearly accurate answer, she calmed herself down and breathed. After a long, long time, she remembered that she had to get off from his hot and hard lap.When she tried to move, she found that her legs were jelly.She could not stand up.It felt as if her legs were not hers anymore.The man's thin, hot lips pressed against her earlobes. The shallow kisses as well as the heavy and hot breaths going into her eardrums made her numb all over. Her face flushed as her heartbeat quickened.She could not move anymore."Don't... Don't do this..." Bianca gasped, but she could not help but sink into his warm masculinity."Don't be afraid. No one’s going to come over.”Like a treasure in the palm of his hand, Luke picked her up and guided her to straddle him.Bianca could not sit that way at all because the man’s erection was… Too big and her skirt was too thin.The feeling of her unable to sit down made her blush.When he saw her predicament, Luke adjusted her to le
Sophian stood before her. Her face was a picture of hesitation and discomfort. “Madam Allison, how about you order using your phone?”“What? You can’t even handle this small task?” At this point, Allison had completely shifted her view of Sophian, now seeing her as just another maid. Her previous tone vanished, replaced by a much more domineering attitude.Sophian felt helpless and quickly explained, “It’s just that the food from this place is just too expensive. I don’t have that kind of money.”Once she finished speaking, a flush of embarrassment crossed her face.Sophian had come back with Allison to work off the debt she owed from her cosmetic surgery. Therefore, she had no money to spare.Allison paused for a moment, a thought crossing her mind. After a brief moment, she picked up her phone and said, “It's not like I'm having you pay for it. You can't even temporarily cover it?”Sophian smiled awkwardly. “I just transferred money to the hospital.”Allison let out a faint hu
“You don’t like eating outside food, do you?” Luca thought that preparing breakfast and dinner for him was not a big deal.Besides, the main point was that Luke did not like eating out. He always felt the taste was off and lacked nutrition.“Actually, it’s not that I don’t like eating out. It's just that all the food outside tastes the same to me.” Luke gently squeezed her hand.“Hey, focus on driving.” Luca chuckled.Luke withdrew his hand and returned it to the steering wheel. “With that woman around, it wouldn’t be convenient for you to cook. Are you really going to make breakfast for them too?”If that happened, it would defeat the purpose of his plan.Luca thought for a moment. She did not mind ignoring Sophian, but if she cooked for Luke and not for Allison, that might not sit well with her. Allison could easily make a fuss over even the smallest details. “So, should we just eat out for breakfast and dinner from now on?”“Yes.” Luke did not mind.It did not matter where t
“Something I like?” Luca laughed. “What could that be?”“You’ll find out when we get there.” Luke kept it mysterious.“Alright then, I’ll wait for your surprise, Mr. Crawford.” Luca was in good spirits without letting family issues dampen her mood. Therefore, she video-called the kids.Luca dialed Mr. Griffin’s number.After Mr. Griffin answered the call, he handed the phone to Lanie. “Young Master Lanie, Ms. Craw wants to talk to you.”“Thank you, Mr. Griffin.” Lanie took the phone and pressed ‘accept’.Luca positioned the camera to include both her and Luke. She waved at the screen. “Lanie, Rainie, Tommy, what are you all doing?”“Lanie! Lanie, I want to talk to Ms. Luca!” Tommy waved excitedly at the camera, eager to take the phone.Lanie handed it to him. “Go on, tell Daddy and Ms. Luca about your good news.”Luca smiled and asked with curiosity. “Good news?”“Daddy, Ms. Luca, I made it to the next level in the math competition! The finals are this Saturday!” Tommy said e
“Why are you being so slow?” Allison was irritated. She shoved the products into Sophian’s hands.“I told you to use them, so just use them.” Allison ran out of patience. After urging Sophian, she lay back down.Sophian had no choice but to follow her instructions and poured out some product. The texture of the product in her palm made her pause for a moment. It was incredibly moisturizing!She gently patted it onto Allison's face and noticed the area she touched felt just as smooth.Allison let out a content sigh. “This essence is really soothing.”Even though Sophian was still worried about potential side effects, she could not help but admire the instant hydrating effect. She asked in a low voice, “Madam Allison, is this really developed by that woman?”She could not believe that Luca had such skills and wondered if the essence had just been repackaged into another bottle and sold as her own creation.“That's what she says,” replied Allison. “But she's into pharmaceuticals, s
After agreeing to become the maid, Sophian’s excitement gradually turned into anxiety.The villa was so large. Could she really handle all the tasks a maid was supposed to do?As she thought about it, she accidentally left the bread in the toaster for too long. After serving it to Allison, she was scolded.“What’s this? It’s just a slice of toast. How could you burn it like this? How am I supposed to eat it?” Allison was clearly displeased.Sophian awkwardly explained, “Madam Allison, this is my first time using this toaster. I didn’t quite get the temperature right...”Allison was about to keep complaining but paused for a moment, remembering that Sophian was the one she had brought in to be the maid. Now, she was the only one who could make breakfast for her. She disdainfully tore off the burnt part and took a bite. “Where’s the soy milk?”“It’ll bring it out,” replied Sophian, heading back to the kitchen. She brought out two glasses of soy milk and another slice of toast tha
“Are you planning to tell me that Madam Allison brought someone back?” Luca had a feeling she knew what was going on. Luca had been wondering why Allison had taken such a big risk by going out during the day, but it all made sense now.“Yes, she brought someone back and said she'll be taking over my job,” Aunt Neile replied helplessly. She was worried she had lost her competitive edge, which made her feel anxious.“I got it, Aunt Neile.” As soon as Luca spoke, there was a cheer from inside the lab. She glanced back and saw that there seemed to be progress in the research. Rhett gave her a thumbs-up to signal success.She slightly smiled and nodded before hearing Aunt Neile's voice again on the phone. “Ms. Craw, there’s something I’d like to say, though I’m not sure if I should. I’ve thought about it, and I feel like I should. Even though Mr. Crawford isn’t the type to fool around, you have to be careful. He has no interest in that woman, but she’s clearly interested in him. You sh
Allison watched the two of them go upstairs, and instantly, her temper flared.Not allowed, huh?Allison refused to believe it. She would find a way to turn things around and reclaim her position in this family!…The next morning, as Luke and Luca came downstairs, they noticed Aunt Neile looking at them with red, puffy eyes.“Aunt Neile, what happened?” Luca was puzzled. What happened?“Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, Madam Allison just told me that I’m fired.” Aunt Neile looked distraught. She thought Allison’s words yesterday were just a joke, but first thing in the morning, she was told to settle her wages and leave. She was completely stunned.“Mr. Crawford, did I do something wrong?”Luke’s brows furrowed. Allison’s behavior was truly astonishing.“You’re not fired,” replied Luke. “Is breakfast ready?”Relieved to hear she still had her job, Aunt Neile quickly wiped away her tears and let out a sigh of relief. “Yes. Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, please have a seat. I’ll bring it out.
Luke was driving back home with Luca. It was already 9:00 pm when they arrived at the villa.Just as they reached the foyer and had not taken more than a few steps, Allison's voice rang out.“Oh, so you're finally willing to come back from Crawford Manor?” Her voice was dripping with sarcasm.Luca did not know how to respond to Allison and looked over at Luke.Luke let go of Luca's waist and whispered, “Go upstairs first.”“Okay.” Luca nodded, changed her shoes, and was about to head upstairs when Allison said again, “Stop. Who told you to go upstairs?”“Madam Allison, is there something you need?” Luca's tone was cold, carefully masking the helplessness inside her.Since she learned that Allison would be returning to the country and moving here, Luca had mentally prepared herself to be put in a difficult position. She loved Luke, so she was willing to tolerate whatever troubles came with it.Luca believed that as long as she and Luke faced things together, there was nothing th
After finishing work, Luca headed straight to Crawford Manor.When she arrived and greeted Old Master Crawford, the three kids came running down the stairs and surrounded her. They each took turns expressing how much they missed her and Luke.Luca missed them too, so after exchanging a few words with Old Master Crawford, she went upstairs with the kids to help them with their homework.It did not take long before Luke arrived.Not seeing Luca in the living room, he asked Old Master Crawford, “Grandpa, has Luca arrived?”Old Master Crawford was in a good mood. He nodded and replied, “She's upstairs, helping the kids with their homework.”Luke sat on the couch and watched the evening news with Old Master Crawford.“Has your mother caused any trouble lately?” asked Old Master Crawford.“Not really,” answered Luke. He could still manage Allison.“That doesn’t sound like her,” added Old Master Crawford, assuming Allison would always be causing trouble.“Her condition is bad right
