Chapter 763 A Female Guest in the House
Bianca had just come out of the shopping mall and was about to go into her car when she received a call from Luke. "It's the 15th today. Let's go back to Crawford Manor and have dinner. Where are you now? I'll go and pick you up."
Considering their current standoff, Bianca wanted to hang up immediately.
However, she thought of her three children. She bit her lip and replied coldly, "You don't have to pick me up. I can drive there myself. I'm a little busy now. See you later."
She hung up before the other party could reply.
In T Corporation, Luke's eyebrows twitched as he stared at his phone. Then, he sighed.
The woman was becoming more and more brazen.
He knew that Bianca was in the midst of starting her own company, and he had the intention of helping her.
Bianca might have experience with managing a company, but she did not have the experience of starting one.
He expected that she would come and ask him for help.
However, the woman never once asked him for advice, no matter how difficult the obstacles might be.
She remained as stubborn as ever. It would be a long time before she would forgive him!
Meanwhile, Bianca sped along the road in an attempt to release her anger.
Nina was sitting in the side passenger seat, and her heart was already in her throat. "What's up with you, Bea? Traffic is so heavy now, and you ought to be careful..."
Bianca was usually steady and cautious when she drove. Nina enjoyed riding in her car.
She did not understand why Bianca was driving as though she was gambling with her life.
Bianca glanced to her right. She noticed that Nina's face was pale, and she was clutching the seatbelt tightly. It was then that Bianca realized that she had been ridiculous.
She looked at the cars around her and heard the screams and curses. Instantly, she slowed down and said to Nina apologetically, "I'm sorry, Nina. I'm not in a good mood today, and I can't control my emotions. It's my fault. Sorry for frightening you.’
Nina placed her hand over her heart that was still beating wildly. "Oh my, who made you angry? I bet the boss would crush them to bits. You shouldn't be so reckless even though you're angry, isn't it? You were never like this before, and you've been acting weird recently. Don't tell me that the boss is the one who made you angry? That shouldn't be, Mr. Crawford is famous for doting upon his wife..."
Bianca shook her head. "It's a long story. Never mind, let's not mention him and talk about you instead. How are things between you and Percy Mallory? Is he treating you well?"
The smile in Nina's expression faded instantly, and she grimaced mockingly. "How can things be? He's willing to pay, and I'm willing to take his money. It's a purely monetary transaction that benefits the both of us, and I can't complain about how he treats me. He'll eventually tire of me, and I'll once again be free. Isn't that how things usually are?"
Bianca was dejected when she heard that her best friend was treated that way. It was the same as when she sold her body to Luke Crawford.
She had tried to speak up for Nina in front of Percy, but Percy had a mind of his own. Luke did not want to meddle too much into his friend's personal matters.
Bianca knew that Luke prioritizes tangible benefits over emotions. He would not endanger his relationship with Percy because of Nina.
Bianca sighed. "Take care of yourself, Nina. You must tell me if you need anything."
She could never fully repay her debt of gratitude to Nina, and she felt uneasy when she saw that Nina was unhappy.
Nina flashed a toothy grin at her, seemingly unperturbed. "Maybe that's my fate. You don't have to worry about me. I might be unlucky for now, but who knows if my luck would change in the future? I think I'm lucky to have a sugar daddy like Percy Mallory instead of some fat and oily middle-aged man. At least he's handsome and amazing in bed. I couldn't have found a better deal."
Bianca felt even more uneasy after hearing that. "Nina..."
Nina gently leaned on her shoulder. "Alright, alright. Let's not talk about unhappy things. Our happiness is the most important. Nothing can stand in
our way as long as we're happy."
When Bianca returned to Crawford Manow, she saw Old Master Crawford enjoying his tea, the three children playing together, and Allison sitting on the couch, chatting with a young and beautiful woman, i
The young woman had an oval-shaped face, big eyes, a tall nose bridge, and supple lips. She wore a pink dress, and her hair was tied up in a cute bun. She was charming when she smiled, and she looked like she was in her prime.
Bianca wondered who that unexpected guest was.
Old Master Crawford was the first one to greet Bianca. He pointed at the young woman and said, "You're back, Bianca. This is Maxine, your mother-in -law's niece. She's here from the capital, and she'll be staying over for a few days." "Oh, nice to meet you." Bianca smiled at the guest and took off her shoes.
She had just removed her shoes and was about to pick up the slippers when Tommy, who had been playing with blocks on the carpet, quickly ran toward Bianca.
The little boy picked a pair of slippers from the shoe rack and handed it to Bianca. "Your slippers, Mommy." "Thank you, Tommy. Good boy." Bianca gently kissed Tommy's head. She was moved by her son's gesture.
The young woman named Maxine looked at Bianca curiously and brushed her hair. "Aunt Allison, is she... Luke's wife?'
Allison glanced at Bianca contemptuously. "Mm," she replied coldly.
Maxine took note of her aunt's expression and discreetly sized up Bianca.
Looking at her figure, she could not imagine that Bianca was already a mother of three children. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Bianca's eyes were big and clear, and her lips were petite and supple. Not only was her skin fair and well-maintained, but her figure was also curvaceous. She might be dressed in casual clothes, but she exuded elegance and grace...
