Luke finally returned home late at night. When he opened the bedroom door, he was greeted by the tranquil scene of Bianca sleeping with the two children. The two children were neatly tucked under the quilt. Bianca was dressed in a silk nightgown. Her limbs that were as fair as ivory were outside of the blanket. Her cheeks were so soft and tantalizing… Luke pinched Bianca's cheeks, which woke her up. Bianca opened her eyes groggily. She looked like a newborn fawn. Luke could feel his abdomen become tight when he saw Bianca's innocent yet alluring appearance. "You're back." Bianca rubbed her eyes. Luke hugged her and gently kissed her forehead. "I'll go take a shower. You should sleep." He tucked Bianca under the blanket and said to her as though reprimanding a child, "You're already an adult, but you still kick the blanket when you're sleeping. What if you catch a cold?" Bianca wanted to say something, but he kissed her and walked away to the bathroom. Bianca looke
Jason dropped the children at school, then drove toward the company. Bianca sat in the back seat. The window was open, and she allowed the cold, piercing wind to blow on her face. The wind cut her delicate skin like a knife. It was painful, but it allowed her mind to be clear. Jason glanced at her and said, "The weather is cold today, Ms. Rayne. Mr. Crawford will blame me if you catch a cold." Bianca shook her head but did not reply to him. She closed her eyes. Jason was curious when he saw how languid Bianca looked. Did she have a fight with the boss? He did not think so. After being his boss's assistant for so many years, he knew how important Bianca was to Luke. Luke loved her more than anything else in the world. Why would he fight with her? … Meanwhile, in a shopping mall. Allison was dressed in a luxurious white fur coat and held two bulging shopping bags in her hand. She was at the checkout counter with two of her rich lady friends. The shopping bags were
Bianca seemed absent-minded the entire workday. She made many mistakes, and the department lead glared at her. "What's wrong? Is something bothering your mind?" Sue and Nina had asked her. Bianca shook her head and said nothing. Some things were not meant to be shared with other people. She tried to find many reasons to convince herself to trust Luke. Eventually, she could not hold back her doubts anymore and gave Luke a call. She dialed his number several times. The response she always got was, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service." Her heart sank to the bottom of the abyss… She got off work right on time and returned to the apartment. Even though she had two children by her side, Bianca felt that the family was incomplete without a certain someone. The two children ate their dinner silently. She turned on the television. On the television was a news report. The tall and well-built man in her dreams appeared on television. Rainie instantly recog
On the television, Mavis was dressed elegantly. Her curly hair was swept to her back, which made her look diligent and capable. Standing next to Luke, they seemed like a match made in heaven. Luke looked directly at the camera with a mature and determined gaze. He remained calm in the face of the reporter's incisive questions. "The restaurants under T Corporation have been maintaining a high standard of quality, the proof of which can be obtained from the FDA. I suspect that there is some other reason that is causing the problems faced by the Regal Chain of Restaurants. We are still investigating whether it is a natural or a man-made cause. Once the results of the investigation are out, T Corporation will host a press conference and give the public a satisfactory answer!" Bianca frowned. The Regal Chain of Restaurants under T Corporation was facing some problems about the quality of their food in Western Europe. The problem was not so much about financial loss, but rather t
The night sky was as dark as ink, and all was silent. The two children had gone to bed a long time ago. Bianca remained in front of the computer, creating designs. Bianca was not in the mood to work, but she had no choice. Once she stopped working, all sorts of questions and doubts would fill her brain. The clock struck eleven. Bianca stared at the computer screen for a long time. The man had not given her a call. She went to the bathroom and took a shower, trying to keep herself awake. Dressed in a nightgown, she sat in the living room and tried calling Luke's number again. Bianca was afraid to hear the dreaded automated voice again. The phone rang for almost a minute, but no one picked up. Just when she was about to hang up, someone answered the call. "Hello?" It was the voice of a woman. All of a sudden, Bianca's eyes misted, and she felt her heart wrench. She tried to keep her voice calm and steady and asked, "I'm looking for Luke Crawford. Is he there?" "Oh?
Meanwhile, Nina followed Xavier and the woman in his arms into the hotel and watched them enter the elevator. The high-class hotel prioritizes the privacy of its customers. To ensure that she could capture video evidence of Xavier's affair, she had to pretend to be a customer and pay a hefty amount of money to stay in the room next to them. When Nina went into the elevator and swiped the access card, a drunken man stumbled into the elevator at the same time. The drunkard was tall and burly. He wore a black baseball cap which obscured his face. He was heavily intoxicated, and his body fell on Nina. Nina was livid and kicked him away. "Ding!" The elevator arrived at Nina's floor. Nina quickly stepped out of the elevator, but the drunkard grabbed onto the hem of her shirt and did not let her go. He kept calling her "Hey, chick," and tried to fondle her breasts. Nina was about to blow her top because of the drunkard's antics. In a fit of rage, she hooked the drunkard's elbow
The suspicion in Bianca's heart grew stronger as she neared the room… Her heart was beating faster and faster, though she forced herself to be calm. She knocked the door twice out of courtesy, and she heard a low and familiar male voice coming from inside. "Come in." She pushed open the door and smelled a strong scent of cigarettes which made her even more nervous. Looking around the room, she did not see Nina inside. Just when she was about to turn around and leave, a hand pulled her into the room from behind, and the door closed with a bang. Alarm bells rang in Bianca's heart when she saw Xavier! She did not know what was going on. "Did you send the message using Bianca's phone, Xavier? What do you want?" She asked angrily. Xavier cackled ominously. He gripped Bianca's chin and wanted to force a kiss on her. Bianca was not going to yield. She reflexively slapped him, but he caught her wrist in time. Xavier appreciated Bianca's body with his eyes. He kneaded her fair
Bianca was trembling with rage. She tried her best to suppress her feelings and managed to calm herself down. "Don't involve other people in our matters, Xavier. Nina is innocent. I hope that you can let her go." Bianca forced herself to be calm, but she found that she could not be calm at all. Xavier stubbed out his cigarette and looked into her eyes. "That'll be easy, Bianca. I don't want the divorce." "Xavier Tanner, you despicable man!" Bianca wanted to tear him into a thousand pieces. "It's not like you don't know me. I'm willing to do anything as long as I achieve my ends!" Xavier was not embarrassed by Bianca's reproach. Instead, that piqued his interest. "The man in the video is Pierre Mallory, the Second Young Master of the Mallory family. You should have heard about the Mallory family, right? Pierre is a vicious one. He always repays his grudges no matter how small they may be. If you're lucky, you might survive after losing a hand or a foot. If you're not, you'll b
