Chapter 1161 She Is Our Mother

Tommy skipped into the living room, and Bianca walked toward him and said gently. "You're back home so late, Tommy. Are you hungry?"

Tommy could sense the reluctance in his mother's voice. He shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry."

Bianca smiled. She was already used to Tommy's coldness toward her. She then turned to Luke and said, "I've saved some chowder for you, Luke. I'll heat it up for you." "Don't worry about it, Bea. I had a big dinner," Luke said. He had eaten a lot in the meal earlier, but he did not tell Luca or Tommy.

"Ah..." Bianca glanced at Tommy, who was already heading up the stairs. She continued, "Alright then. You must be tired. I'll go and prepare the bathwater for you, then you can take a bath and sleep."

Luke was not really convinced by the concern Bianca showed him. "It's fine, Bea. I still have some work to do. If you're tired, you should go to bed first."

Bianca maintained the smile on her face even though Luke had refused her offer. She had already expected Luke to refuse.

She went up to him and hugged him. "Alright then. You shouldn't sleep so late though. Also, try to come home for dinner. I'd be worried if I don't see you or Tommy."

Luke's profound gaze landed on her face and paused there. "Okay," he said.

"I'll go and throw away the soup in the kitchen. It'll smell if I leave it overnight," Bianca said gently.

"Mm." Luke nodded and went upstairs.

Bianca went into the kitchen and opened the door of the microwave. There were two bowls of chowder inside. One was for Luke, and the other was for Tommy.

She took a bowl out and threw the contents into the trash can. As she watched the gooey droplets trickle from the bowl, her expression gradually turned vicious.

She had given her heart to Luke, but Luke had ignored her!

Bianca remembered that she smelled the scent of perfume on Luke when she hugged him. The perfume belonged to another woman!

She had honed her sense of smell on the Island of Despair. Even though the scent was very faint, she could tell that it was not car perfume but the perfume of a woman.

Moreover, she had never caught that scent on him before.

Bianca's grip on the bowl slowly tightened. The veins bulged on the back of her hand. It was an ugly sight.

Rainie happened to step into the kitchen and witness that scene. She was shocked. "Mommy?"

Bianca came to her senses and quickly hid her vicious expression. She smiled at Rainie and said, "Yes, Rainie?" "It's nothing." Rainie shook her head. She had wanted to take a glass of water in the kitchen, but she did not expect to see that vicious side of Bianca.

The suspicion in her heart grew. Was the woman in front of her really her mother?

Previously, her mother would not have that expression on her face even if she were really angry. Earlier, she thought that her mother had become an ugly witch that ate little children for breakfast.

Bianca placed the bowl in the sink and said, "It's already so late. Why aren't you in bed yet?" "I want a glass of water." Rainie came to her senses and poured herself a glass of water. Even though Bianca's expression had returned to normal, she still felt afraid.

When Bianca saw Rainie gulp down the glass of water, she stepped up to her and wanted to pat her head.

Rainie instinctively dodged.

"Rainie?" Bianca pretended to look hurt, though she was wondering if Rainie had seen her expression earlier.

Rainie smiled to try to hide her fears. "I'm going to bed, Mommy. Good night." "Mm." Bianca nodded. After she watched Rainie leave the kitchen, she took the other bowl out of the microwave and poured its contents into the trash can. She put the bowl in the sink and quickly went upstairs.

Among the three children, Rainie was the friendliest to her. The girl was her key to getting close to Luke. She did not want to lose that key!

Bianca went upstairs. She tried to go into Rainie's bedroom, hoping that she could improve their relationship.

When she tried to twist the doorknob, she realized that Rainie had locked the door.

Bianca's expression stiffened. She knew that the children had never locked their doors when they went to bed, especially Rainie.

She tried twisting the doorknob again and failed to open the door.

Bianca did not want to call out her name either, so she could only leave.

Rainie had been standing behind the door. She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her mother's footsteps fading away into the distance.

She realized that what her brother said was correct. There was indeed something weird about their mother...

Rainie did not want to believe it, but from what she saw earlier, she had no choice but to admit it...

She crouched on the floor in fear and began to tremble.

The next day, Rainie woke up earlier. After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she went in front of Lanie's bedroom.

"Lanie, are you awake?" She knocked on the door instead of going in.

"I'm awake," Lanie said.

Rainie opened the door and went inside. She saw her brother sitting at his desk reading a book. She closed the door, locked it, then went up next to her brother. "I have something to tell you, Lanie."

Lanie put the book down and looked at his younger sister. "What is it?" "Yesterday, I..." Rainie told Lanie about what she saw in the kitchen. They were twins and had a tacit understanding of each other, so Rainie did not need to explain in detail before Lanie knew what she was trying to tell him.

"Are you sure about what you saw?" Lanie frowned, though his handsome face remained mostly impassive.

"I'm very sure, and I'm not mistaken," Rainie said. She was not sleepy when she went into the kitchen to get a glass of water, so she was sure that she saw it clearly.

Bianca's ghastly expression gave her a nightmare.

"What should we do now, Lanie?" Rainie said worriedly.

"Now, she's our mother." Lanie rubbed his chin. He thought that something was not quite right.

"I don't think that she's our mother. Our mother used to be so gentle and kind. She wouldn’t show that expression on her face." Rainie sat on the bed defeatedly.

"You're finally suspecting her." Lanie patted his sister's head. He could tell from her eye bags that she did not sleep well the night before.

"Yes. Why don't we tell Daddy?" Rainie nodded. There were not many people in the family that they could trust.

Other than their father, the only other person was Old Master Crawford. This belongs to - ©.

"We can't." Lanie shook his head and reminded him, "Have you forgotten that Daddy has the DNA test report?"

When Tommy threw a tantrum because he did not want to accept that Bianca was his mother, Luke had convinced the children with the DNA test report.

"What should we do?" Rainie said, frustrated.

"I have a way!" Lanie suddenly thought of something. He leaned close to

Rainie and whispered something.
