She did not know why she felt so uneasy the night before. Perhaps her pregnancy was affecting her mood. The unease was caused by something unknown. Even though Luke was by her side, that did not alleviate her worries even by a little bit. Now that she saw that the father and his two children were interacting normally, she felt as though she was alive once more. She felt a little guilty when she saw on her watch that it was ten o'clock. She knew that the other three people were waiting for her to make breakfast, but she had overslept… "Mommy, you're awake!" The observant Rainie was the first to notice Bianca. She tossed her brush away, ran next to Bianca, stood on tiptoe, and gently touched her mother's stomach. "Hi, Little Bro! I'm your Big Sis Rainie! Were you behaving when you were sleeping in Mommy's tummy last night?" It was her habit to speak to the unborn child every morning. She did not know whether the baby in Bianca's womb was a boy or a girl, but thanks to Lan
Bianca sighed and placed her phone on the table. She thought that she would visit Old Mr. Norman later. After all, Old Mr. Norman was an important client. Moreover, Queenie had extended the invitation to her. Either way, she felt that she should pay the old man a visit. She turned her head and saw Lanie struggling with a thick book of math problems. Curiously, she glanced over and saw that the book was meant for a fourth-grade student. Bianca took the book away from Lanie and frowned. "Lanie, you'll be going into the first grade soon. Why are you doing fourth-grade problems?" Lanie sat up straight. There was a determination in his childish voice. "I want to skip to the third grade, Mommy. The first grade is too easy for me." Bianca was stunned! As she looked at Lanie saying that in all seriousness, she remembered something that Lanie's teacher said during a parent-teacher meeting. "Lanie is a very intelligent boy. You could even call him a child prodigy. "His intellig
Jack helped Old Mr. Norman get to his feet. The old man looked at Luke appreciatively and said, "You're here, Luke and Bianca. Thank you for coming to visit me. You even brought presents!" Luke greeted the two men courteously and placed the fruit basket on the table. Then, he helped Old Mr. Norman sit down on his chair again. "Please sit down. I heard that you're not feeling well, so Bianca and I are here to visit. How are you feeling?" "I'm fine. There's nothing major…" Old Mr. Norman said tenderly, "You're here too, Bianca. I happen to have several questions to ask you about the design. There are a few parts that I don't understand…" Bianca smiled gently and said, "I will answer any questions that you might have to your satisfaction, Old Mr. Norman." "That's great! Leia, come over here and greet our guests." Old Mr. Norman beckoned to Leia. Leia walked over obediently and said sweetly, "Grandpa." Her smile was gentle and beautiful but superficial. Bianca noticed that Le
Meanwhile, Old Mr. Norman asked Queenie to bring Bianca's design. Old Mr. Norman and Bianca discussed the details of the design excitedly. Even though there was a big age gap between them, there were no obstacles to their conversation. Old Mr. Norman might be a retired politician, but he was well-read in a variety of subjects. He even knew certain technical jargon that inexperienced architects would never have heard of. That had made Bianca impressed. Old Mr. Norman was very impressed with Bianca too. The girl might seem young, but she did not only have pretty looks. He was satisfied with her unique design senses, her modern way of thinking, and her modest attitude. Old Mr. Norman shot a glance at her granddaughter Leia who dressed like a princess, then turned away, dissatisfied. His granddaughter might look kind and considerate, and his wife and his children were fond of her, but he felt that her ladylike attitude was pretentious. Moreover, his granddaughter was fully
Leia came into the washroom. Bianca nodded gently at Leia. "Ms. Norman." Then, she walked toward the washbasin. She squeezed some liquid soap onto her hands and noticed Leia's exquisite but cold face in the mirror. Leia might look gentle, and she was laughing, but Bianca felt unnerved. Bianca knew that Leia was not as innocent as she looked. She did not forget Leia's provocation in the shopping mall and how Leia had tormented her during the commercial shoot at T Corporation. She also remembered how she was hurt by the berserk Persian cat at Blue Honors… Even though all the evidence pointed to Leia's assistant, Bianca was not so stupid to believe that. She knew that Leia was the mastermind, but she did not call her out because of Leia's elevated status. If Leia was not going to speak, Bianca was not going to bother either. However, she could see that Leia had something to say to her. "Is there anything, Ms. Norman?" Bianca opened her mouth first. Leia turned on the
Jason's well-built body was facing away from the light. He protected the pregnant Sue like a caring and mature gentleman. He glanced at Hank and Jane, then at Sue. His cold gaze flashed with a different emotion when he saw the frustration and sorrow in Sue's eyes. Meanwhile, Jane carefully looked at how Jason protected Sue in his arms. He was a handsome man in his thirties. The man seemed wealthy. He was dressed in a limited edition Ermenegildo Zegna suit and wore a gold Piaget watch on his wrist. Jane was impressed, but she did not want to admit that Sue had found a wealthy husband. She scrunched up her nose and said to Sue jealously, "Ha, I didn't expect that my husband's used goods could find a wealthy man who wants her. Not bad, Sue, you've become a better seductress now!" Jane did not believe that her husband had not touched Sue while they dated for five years. Moreover, Hank was very skillful in bed. He must have had a lot of practice with Sue! That was why Jane h
Luke smiled as he caressed her soft hair and kissed her nose. "That person is an international con artist and is wanted by the Interpol. Aren't you scared?" "What…?" Bianca opened her mouth in shock. Luke could not resist pinching Bianca's earlobe when he saw her adorable reaction. "Silly, did you actually believe that?" Bianca playfully punched Luke when she saw his joking expression. "Don't fool me like that. I'd be worried." Luke felt warmth in his heart when he saw how Bianca's smile was more refreshing than the sight of peach blossoms in March. It was not about how Bianca looked but how she carried herself. Her demeanor gave her elegance, kindness, and many more characteristics. The sight of her comforted Luke. "I have my own considerations for doing certain things, and you don't have to worry about me over every small matter. You're now the mother of three children, and you should be a good role model for the kids." Luke said gently as he held onto her petite hand in
Luke put the emerald necklace on for Bianca and continued talking, "This necklace has a tracker on it. As long as you wear the necklace, I can find you wherever you are." Bianca touched the exquisite necklace as her mouth opened in shock. The main reason was that she had not expected that a necklace worth a few thousand dollars would include such technology. She had always thought that only valuable necklaces would have such technology. However, Bianca had always trusted Luke and did not think too much about it. After he put the necklace on, she asked, "How does it look?" Bianca, who had been pregnant for not long, was still light as a feather. At that moment, she was as happy as a young love-sick girl who just received a gift from the love of her life. "You look great." Luke looked at her and nodded. Bianca was the apple of his eye. The two spent half an hour strolling in the garden. When Bianca got tired, Luke bridal-carried her the whole
