Chapter 1207 Enthralled By His Good Looks
Crawford Manor.
After she drank the antidote, Bianca was not in the mood to hang around outside so she drove back home. She walked into the living room and saw Luke sitting on the sofa. The financial news was playing on the TV but he did not seem to be paying any attention to it.
She smiled and approached him, sitting next to him. "Luke."
Luke came back to his senses and looked at the woman next to him. A flash of impatience appeared in his eyes.
The perfume smell on Bianca overwhelmed Luke when she approached him. In the past, she did not like to use perfume and always had a natural fragrance on her body.
After losing her memory, she fell in love with various ladies' fragrances, which made Luke even more reluctant to be close to her.
"You're back?" He kept some distance from her with the excuse of pouring himself a cup of tea.
Luke's action seemed natural, so Bianca did not notice his true intention. She nodded and said, "Yes, I'm home. You’re watching financial news? Why are you so free today?"
In the past, he would be working overtime in the study or company even on the weekends. It was rare to see him in the living room.
"It’s just for a while," Luke replied. He looked at Bianca but was thinking of Luca.
Jack had just texted him saying that he found that the package was delivered from Luca’s address.
To confirm that the person who sent the parcel was indeed Luca, he took the initiative to go through the surveillance footage and confirmed that Luca was the one who sent the herbs to Queenie.
Jack also found out that their encounter did not seem to be accidental because the surveillance footage showed that before Jack and Queenie left the house, Luca stood outside of Norman Residence for a full hour while staring at the villa's entrance.
Back then, she had told them that she was waiting for her friend but it seemed that she was waiting for Jack and Queenie to come out.
Luke was shocked. He did not expect that Luca was the person who helped Queenie.
Not only was she a professor of pharmacy, but she was also medically trained...
Luca's medical skills were beyond ordinary biopharmaceutical students...
"Luke?" Bianca called out to him when she saw him staring at the TV screen in a daze.
Luke snapped out of it and replied, "What's the matter?"
Bianca raised her hand to his forehead, asking in a caring and soft voice," What's wrong with you? Are you feeling okay?"
Luke shook his head. He took her hand, moved it, and let go of it. "I'm fine. The butler said that you went shopping, but you came back without buying anything?"
He noticed that Bianca would go shopping the same day every month.
"Nothing caught my eye, so I didn't buy anything.” Bianca felt diffident.
Although Luke knew nothing about her having to take an antidote every month, she felt guilty when he asked about it.
Luke was not a fool. Bianca was in a horrible mood after seeing Luca and was so angry that she did not want to go shopping when she left, so she came back empty-handed.
If she had known that he was home, she would have bought something random before coming back. This belongs to - ©.
"Mm." Luke nodded, stood up, and said, "I’m heading back to the study to work." "Okay." Bianca smiled slightly and did not follow him. After she watched him go upstairs, she stood up to find the butler. "I want to ask you something." "Madam, go ahead," the butler answered respectfully.
"What happened today? Why does Luke seem like he’s out of it?" Bianca's hands were crossed in front of her chest, and her tone was slightly rude.
The butler shook his head and said, "Nothing happened today. Maybe the young master is tired. He got up later than he ever did."
Bianca squinted her eyes and stared at the butler for a long time.
"Are you sure that nothing happened?" She did not believe that Luke would act as such for no reason.
"It's been very quiet in the manor today. Nothing happened," the butler replied in an affirmative tone.
"Fine. I want to eat macaroons. Have the chef make me some." Bianca stopped thinking about Luke and instead ordered the butler. The antidote had left a bitter taste in her mouth, so she wanted to have some desserts.
"Okay." The butler bowed to her, turned, and walked toward the kitchen.
Luke locked himself in the study and did not leave until four o'clock in the afternoon.
Bianca was sitting in the living room on the second floor. When she saw him, she put down the magazine, stood up, and immediately walked up to him. "Luke, the butler has ironed your suit. Do you
want to change into it now?"
She remembered that Luke was attending a banquet held by the Pharmaceutical Association. Although she could not accompany him to play the role of a good wife, she still wanted to do something.
Luke had been paying less and less attention to her nowadays. It prompted a sense of crisis in her. She felt like she had to do something.
"I'll do it myself," Luke said, turned around, and walked into the master bedroom. His cloakroom was still in the master bedroom. Every time the butler ironed his clothes, he would put them in the master bedroom.
Bianca followed him and wanted to help him get dressed but Rainie and Lanie came upstairs at the same time.
She not only had to play the role of a good wife but also a good mother.
When she saw them, she stopped and smiled. "Lanie, Rainie, you’re home."
When Rainie heard her voice, her body shivered visibly. She lowered her head immediately and said, "Yeah." "Why are you so pale? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Bianca noticed that there was something wrong with Rainie's expression and wanted to show her some concern.
Lanie immediately positioned himself in front of Rainie and raised his head. His face looked like a younger version of Luke. He was calm as he said, "Simon scared Rainie. She just needs some rest." "Is that so... How could Simon scare her like that? Lanie, bring Rainie to rest." Bianca deliberately talked bad about Simon but in truth, she was annoyed by the children.
'They sure know how to ruin a perfect moment. They came back when Luke was about to change and didn't give me the chance to show my gentle side to Luke.'
Lanie took Rainie's hand and nodded. He turned around and said, "Rainie, I'll walk you back to your bedroom." "Okay, Brother." Rainie's face was pale, and she did not dare to look at Bianca.
They had gotten the test report, which showed that they were not related to the woman who was currently standing in front of them and claimed to be their mother.
Rainie felt scared when she thought of how this woman had pretended to be their mother for so many years.
'What’s her intention? Is she going to do anything to Daddy?'
Lanie took Rainie's hand and they walked into the bedroom before closing the door.
Bianca watched from the side and muttered, "Why are they acting weird?"
She did not take the kids' abnormality to heart and walked into the master bedroom. Luke had closed the cloakroom door and was changing.
Bianca stomped her feet, her expression gloomy.
The moment the cloakroom's door opened, she burst into a wide smile. Her gaze was lustful as she looked at the man in front of her.
The suit was ironed neatly and wrapped around Luke's perfect figure. He looked like a handsome god.
Luke was a natural model. Bianca had been looking at him every day for the past two years but she was still enthralled by his good looks.
