A blush crept up Bianca’s face.The lady next to her was not at all restricted with the topics she conversed with Bianca. Instead, she was excitedly chatting about any topic under the sun without the slightest care if there were any men nearby.‘Spill it to me, I’m very curious!” The lady next to Bianca had a look of anticipation on her face.Bianca was dumbfounded to find that sex-related topics that used to be frowned upon by the society were now being discussed so openly.“He isn’t...” Bianca shook her head.However, Bianca’s ‘he isn’t my husband’ had not been completed when the lady next to her discreetly turned to look behind Bianca with a lustful gaze directed at Luke.Subsequently, the lady turned around to interrupt Bianca. The lady blushed as she said, “We’re both women. We’ve surely done it with our husbands. What is there to be shy about? Can share some details with me? How many sessions do both of you have in a week? I can see with just a look that your man is very sk
Bianca had to admit that with this man around to protect her, she was feeling doubly safe.Which woman in this world would not like to be protected by such an outstanding man?However, whenever you feel that the man was the right person, you would still end up getting yourself hurt. It was only when you were ladened with wounds that you would understand that love could be as sweet as honey and at the same time, it could suddenly become as cold as the blade of a knife.What would this man leave for her in the end? She did not know, and neither could she afford to bet on it.Bianca did not say anything to Luke until they reached the entrance of her residential area.She did not plan to invite Luke in as she did not want him to know which floor and which unit she lived in. Otherwise, he might suddenly appear with his kids at her door.She was now sharing rent with Nina.If Nina saw them together, it might bring up some unnecessary misunderstandings.At the office, Jason and Sue ha
“We shouldn’t appear in front of each other ever again. You’ll not only get agitated and harm your health, but it also makes you age faster as well.”Each word hammered into Marie’s face before Bianca decided to walk away.“Don’t leave...”Marie’s expression suddenly changed as she humbled herself. Both her hands reached out to grab Bianca’s arm. She begged, “It’s all my fault. I’m sorry. You can hit me or scold me. You can do anything that’ll make you happy.”Bianca turned around and looked at her.Marie’s hands that were on Bianca’s shoulder slowly shifted to Bianca’s hands. With an innocent expression, Marie said, “Bea, you know that I have always lacked fatherly love since I was born. That’s why I envied you for having a father. Ever since I joined your family, I’ve always been on bad terms with you because I felt that you lived a more blissful life than me. However, I was immature and young back then. Please believe me, I never intended to snatch your boyfriend from you...”
Luke Crawford was at the pharmacy buying four boxes of medications following the prescription given by the community doctor earlier.This was his first experience buying medications for a woman.However, when he returned, he could not find Bianca anywhere his eyes could see....Late at night in the Crawford manor.Blanche Crawford was still wide awake. His petite figure was sitting on the black leather couch.“Big Brother, aren’t we going to bed?” Rainie hugged her teddy bear while slumped on the side of the couch as she fuzzily asked.“Go to bed if you’re feeling sleepy. I’ll wait on my own.” Blanche was feeling sleepy, but he forced himself to stay vigilant, refusing to let his eyelids meet.He was determined to wait until their father was back and say what he wanted to say before going to bed.Rainie heard that her brother wanted to continue to wait. She felt that she should learn to be strong like her brother rather than feel sleepy so easily.Uncle Louis had said that s
Next morning, it was a surprise that the boy did not laze in bed.Thud, thud, thud. He ran back to his room, took his little toothbrush, and started washing up for the morning. He had a row of neat and white teeth which he carefully brushed. Once done, he ran to look for Rainie. When he opened the door, he announced to her, “Our mommy is still alive.”Rainie’s hair was tied into a neat braid. She cocked her head to the side, “Big Bro, what are you talking about?”“I said, our mother is still alive!” Blanche said as he marched forward and knelt on the floor to help his sister wear her shoes before bringing her to another house within the mansion.Their nanny was not bothered by what the kids were doing.Blanche got his sister to be on the lookout while he sneaked into Uncle Louis’ room quietly. He took his uncle’s phone and turned around to sneak out of the room...“Did you get it Big Bro?” Rainie widened her eyes to ask.Blanche nodded and went to a secluded corner with his sist
Lanie said to Rainie, “Grandpa Charles told me that mommy has a boyfriend already, so there’s no chance she was going to get together with daddy.”Rainie nodded her head without fully understanding what she heard.“Then let’s find a girlfriend for daddy. I think Miss Bea is a good choice.” Blanche decided to give up. ‘It isn’t because daddy doesn’t want mommy, it’s because mommy has a boyfriend already.’...During breakfast.Allison Tanner came from upstairs. She had already dolled up her face and said to the table full of people, “Dad, I’ve got something up and will be going out now.”Old Master Crawford looked up and was about to say ‘go ahead’ when Susan Armstrong interrupted.She raised a brow and laughed. “You’re dressed so beautifully, and your lips are so red as if you had just eaten a child alive. Are you going to meet up with a man?”Other than Old Master Crawford who did not look pleased, no one else was the least bothered with the bickering that happened daily for m
The subway arrived at one stop after another.Bianca felt that her body, which was closely adhered to Luke's, was getting somewhat strange…The subway carriage’s large windows were reflecting the images of the passengers inside the cart.Bianca could not bring herself to look up at first. But after some time, the blush on her face had faded substantially. She tried to lift her head slightly to peek at the image reflected on the cart’s window.Luke’s tall and straight body stood behind her. The man held onto the handrail with one hand and protected her with the other. He had wrapped his arm around her waist and was embracing her.Bianca was petite, and she was curious to see the expression on his face. The man’s height had caused his face to be out of her sight unless she dared to raise her head further up.The wretched older man who was taking advantage of her earlier had only touched her hand deliberately. Yet, Luke’s possessiveness had made him take it upon himself to wrap her
“I did not…” Bianca’s first reaction was to deny it.“You dare lie to my face? If you didn’t, who was the person lurking behind the walls whenever she had a free period looking out at the playground of the high school next door foolishly?” Claudia talked about the past without restraint.Bianca still remembered her high school experience. She had always stared foolishly at beautiful sceneries and people for long periods. When she was in middle school, the person she had stared at the most was upperclassman Crawford from the high school next door.Claudia assumed that Bianca was perhaps embarrassed now, so she continued, “He was finer than a frog’s hair! And cute as a bug! Who wouldn’t have a crush on him? Is there anything to be embarrassed about?”Bianca coughed, and her face started to burn up.Subconsciously, upperclassman Crawford’s face in her mind had morphed into Luke Crawford’s.It was said that Luke also had a brother named Louis, and the two brothers had similarities
