'What's going on? 'Why would searching for 'Bianca Rayne' be a violation of the law?' While Bianca pondered over the question, her colleagues noticed a black Bentley driving into the courtyard with two equally extravagant cars following behind. The cars raised a cloud of dust; they were on sandy, unpaved ground after all. However, the people could not ignore the fact that the cars had consecutive plate numbers. The workers of T Corporation stood up in unison and discreetly put away their phones. They regarded the people who had gotten out of the cars with the utmost seriousness. Jason stepped out of the first car. He walked directly toward Bianca. Bianca stood up. She was still thinking about the comments on the Internet when she heard Jason tell her, "Boss wants you to go over, Ms. Rayne." "…" Bianca did not move. 'If Luke is in the car, why isn't he getting out?' "Don't worry. It's official business," Jason explained. He seemed to understand Bianca's reservations.
Luke's body emitted a frosty aura, which warned people to stay away as far as possible. Bianca pulled her jacket together and turned her head weakly to look outside the window. She did not say a word. After Jason helped Bianca sit in the car and closed the door, he went to get the two children who were doing their homework out of the room and into the car. The back seat of the Bentley was spacious. The children were carried into the car one after the other, but the father did not reach out to catch them. In fact, when he glanced at the children, it was full of disgust and annoyance. The two children were used to that and did not feel particularly sad. Rainie shifted closer to Bianca and asked her, "Can I sit together with you, Miss Bea?" "Of course. You can come closer…" Bianca said gently. She took Rainie's hand and brought the little girl into her arms. The scene looked like a family of four on their weekend family trip, but the father was too aloof and distracted…
"I wanna sleep, Daddy…" Rainie slumped lazily over Luke's shoulder and pouted. Bianca got out of the car. She lifted her head and looked at Luke's profound eyes. The part of her chest that Luke had touched felt swollen and painful. It was more sensitive than the day before. She wondered if it was almost the time of the month, and a brief calculation revealed that it was the case. Luke carried his daughter and looked at his son, who did not seem to be of much use, then looked at Bianca. "Stay here and accompany the children." At the same time, he placed the little girl in the car. Jason had work to do. After all, a boss's assistant had to take care of his boss in addition to his own work and was usually busier than the boss himself. The car was parked in the outskirts of the town, and a five-year-old girl was sleeping inside. No parent would be at ease. Bianca was more than willing to stay back and take care of her daughter, but she glanced at her colleagues who had gather
The employees of T Corporation fixed their gazes on the crowd, perhaps because their boss had appeared in front of them. Leia was worried that she might be recognized if she stood there for too long, so she turned around and left. When she returned to Xavier's Porsche Cayenne, she lightly furrowed her brows. Marie was not familiar with Leia yet, and she regarded Leia as a celebrity way beyond her league and herself as a lowly commoner. For a moment, she did not know how to speak to Leia. Leia was not bothered with Marie's presence. Instead, she kept thinking about the scene earlier. Leia already knew who Luke was. As one of the darlings of A City, and now that she had become one of the most famous celebrities, she held two extremely enviable identities. One of Leia's friends once asked her what kind of man she would want to marry in the future. She had admitted that she had her eyes on someone, but she was not sure whether fate would lead her to him. However, with the t
"It's not that…" Bianca's denial was weak. "I know that even if someone catches us in the act, you have the clout to suppress the news. I'm just a little tired after a full day of work, and I just want to go back to my room and rest." Luke's gaze on her was profound. He leaned close to her, deliberately lowered his voice, and spoke each syllable clearly. "I'm not going to suppress the news if the scandal breaks out. When I saw the news this morning that you are his legally wedded wife, I was so jealous that I was losing my mind. Now that you've appeared on the news with him, do you still mind that you'll have a scandal with me?" Bianca was worried that the children might hear. She might be surprised, but she kept her voice low, "That was just an accident. There's nothing to be jealous of. Don't be childish." She knew that Xavier bore no love for him, and he only forced her into a marriage out of malice. Even if he had a shred of affection for him, there was nothing to be proud of
Jason was suddenly silent. While Bianca took out the plates and cutlery from the cupboard, she asked, "Is everything OK, Mr. Doyle? Can you hear me?" One minute passed, then two minutes… Jason did not make a sound… The other colleagues had all woken up. Several people were doing chores in the courtyard. Joe was watering the plants and was rambling on, "I saw from the weather report that it'll be turning cold from Wednesday on. These pots need to be brought indoors. Is anyone willing to take two? Otherwise, I'll be bringing them all into my room." It was noisy outside. Bianca could not hear any sound from the other end of the phone. On the third minute, Bianca decided that she would end the call. Perhaps the reception was bad, or perhaps Jason was busy with work. Suddenly, Jason spoke. He sounded especially clear. "I'm sorry, Ms. Rayne. The reception was bad earlier," Jason explained. "It's fine. I thought that was the case. I was about to hang up." Bianca handed the p
Bianca put the keys away, changed into slippers, tiptoed into the bedroom, and found two blankets. She draped one over Lanie's body and the other over Rainie, who was sleeping soundly on Daddy's tummy… Bianca was about to walk away when the man on the couch suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes. His eyes looked tired under the angular brow ridge. Blood vessels could be seen at the corners of his eyes. On other days, she would tell her not to work so hard and rest more, out of concern as his employee or as the father of her children. However, Bianca was speechless. Every word that Jason said over the phone lingered in Bianca's mind. "Boss received a dinner invitation after he got back yesterday. He left the two children in the apartment, and no one was around to take care of them… "Boss drank a little too much last night, and we haven't managed to contact him at the hotel…" Luke was wholly unqualified as a single parent. After Luke woke up, Rainie also woke up. After Ra
Bianca was flustered when Luke suddenly mentioned that they were going to do a DNA test. What if Luke was mistaken? What if Lanie and Rainie were not her children? Suddenly, Bianca's heart was overcome by worry and apprehension. Her desire to be the children's mother was too strong, which was why she was afraid of losing it all. Even if the probability that she would lose the children might be 0.01%, the pain felt as though she had a knife stuck to her throat. Bianca did not ask Luke the exact time they should go to do the DNA test. She wanted to run away. After deciding on the DNA test, they did not have any other topics of conversation and looked at each other silently. They were alone in a room, which made it easy for the atmosphere to become intimate. "I'll go and contact the colleagues in the small town." Bianca found an excuse to move to the living room. However, her delicate wrist was immediately grabbed by the man's strong hand. He pulled her back, and she s
