Chapter 1339 He Would Not Let Her Off

Two days later, Luke and Jason departed from New York after having resolved the issues that plagued the subsidiary company.

Lanie and Rainie knew that their father was coming home today, and they locked themselves in the bedroom for a long time. They even ignored Tommy knocking on the door and making a fuss about wanting to go inside.

After coming to a conclusion that they should hand the DNA test report to Luke, they opened the bedroom door.

Tommy's ruckus had alerted Bianca earlier. When Lanie and Rainie opened the door, they saw Bianca outside, preparing to knock.

nWhat are you two kids doing inside? Didn't you hear that your younger brother is outside the door? I'm just about to get the butler to fetch the keys," Bianca smiled and said as she looked at the twins.

Ever since the previous incident, Rainie had tried to avoid Bianca whenever possible. Bianca was very frustrated that the three children were not close to her at all.

"We were reading," Lanie replied.

Bianca showed an expression of understanding. She looked into the bedroom, then at the twins, and did not discover anything out of the ordinary. "I've made some dessert. Do you want some?"

"No, thanks. We're going to do our homework," Lanie said. He did not give Bianca the chance to speak to Rainie.

Bianca nodded, then turned to look at Rainie. She was about to say something when Lanie said to Tommy, "Come here and do your homework with us, Tommy. Daddy will be coming home soon."

Tommy nodded excitedly when he heard that. He went into the bedroom with his backpack.

Before Bianca could say anything, Lanie closed the bedroom door in her face.

Bianca could only glare at the closed door.

The three children were getting on her nerves, but Old Master Crawford had been keeping a close eye on her. She could not beat or scold them, and she had to pretend that she was a caring mother to them.

The three children were unrelated to her, and she could not bring herself to love or care for them.

Thinking that Luke would be coming home soon, she decided to put the matter to rest.

She was sick in the hospital when Luke had left for New York. Now, she would have to primp herself so that Luke would have a good impression of her.

Luke had not touched her in three years. She could not let that continue.

Bianca clenched her fists tightly. She would have to do something so that Luke would sleep with her. Ideally, she would bear a child for Luke so that they would be together forever.

Soon, it was midnight.

Crawford Manor was silent. Luke's flight was delayed, so he reached home a few hours later than expected.

It was already half-past twelve when Luke's car drove into the manor grounds.

Lanie and Rainie did not sleep. Instead, they waited in their respective bedrooms for their father to return.

When Rainie heard the footsteps along the corridor, she opened her bedroom door and saw that her father had indeed returned. Tears welled up in her eyes as she ran to him. "Daddy! You're back!"

Luke patted Rainie's head and said, "It's already so late. Why aren't you in bed yet? Were you waiting for me?"

"Mm!" Rainie nodded, lifted her head, and looked at him. "I miss you, Daddy."

Luke's heart softened when he looked at the little girl's face that looked so similar to Bianca. He crouched down and gently wiped her cheeks. "I miss you too. It's already very late. You should go to bed now, and we can talk tomorrow morning, alright?"

"Daddy, Lanie is still awake too." Rainie turned around and took his hand. "Can we go to Lanie's bedroom?" Text content © .

Luke put his suitcase away and allowed Rainie to lead him into Lanie's bedroom.

"You're home, Daddy!" When Lanie heard the door open, he took off his headphones and hopped off the chair. He had been listening to a science podcast because he was worried that he might fall asleep. That was why he did not hear the footsteps in the corridor, but when Luke came in through the door, Lanie knew that his father had come home.

"Mm." Luke frowned when he saw that his son had just gotten off a podcast. "Why aren't you two in bed yet?"

"Rainie and I are waiting for you to come home. There's something that we want to tell you," Lanie said. He glanced at the bedroom door, then went over and closed it.

Luke sat on the bed and watched the children with grim expressions on their faces. "What's wrong?"

Lanie handed a brown paper envelope to Luke. "Daddy, you won't believe it if we tell you, so you should see for yourself. Rainie and I obtained this. Take a look."

Curiously, Luke took out the document from the envelope. He immediately understood what they were trying to tell him.

Inside the envelope was a DNA test report.

"This is a DNA test involving Rainie and Mommy. Daddy, that woman isn't our real mother," Lanie said.

"Why did you go and order the DNA test?" Luke looked at the date of the report. It had been some time ago. It seemed like the twins had realized that the woman was not their real mother.

Moreover, they had realized that before he did...

"Because we think that she doesn't behave like our mother," Rainie said softly. Then, she told him what Bianca did to her a few days ago.

As Luke listened to Rainie's account of her ordeal, his grip on the document became tighter and tighter.

"Daddy, if she's really our mother, she wouldn't have done that even if she had really lost her memories," Lanie said.

Rainie nodded, "rm lucky that Ms. Luca saved me. Otherwise, I might not be able to see you again."

Luke frowned when Rainie mentioned Luca's name. "Luca? What did the incident have to do with her?"

Rainie told him about how Tommy had given Luca a phone call to ask her for help.

Luke furrowed his brows tightly. The incident had something to do with Luca again...

"The report is genuine, Daddy. We asked the Holston family driver to help us at the hospital. If you don't believe us, you can go and ask him. This isn't a prank," Lanie said as he tugged Luke's shirt sleeve.

Luke could tell that the children were worried that he might not believe them. He patted their heads and said, "I know. I trust you."

Lanie was surprised. "Daddy, did you already know..."

"I don't think children can forge a DNA test report." Luke did not tell them how he found out that Bianca was an

impostor. It was something that he should have known, but instead, he let the children worry.

Even more than that, they had been keeping it secret for so long because they were afraid that he might not believe them.

The more Luke thought about it, the guiltier he felt toward the real Bianca. If she knew about her children's situation, she would feel incredibly sorry for them.

"I know what to do. She's not going to get away with treating Rainie like that." Luke gave his promise to the children.
