Chapter 797 The Culprits Will Soon Get What They Deserve!
Bianca gently called out to the man who was hard at work in the study." Luke."
Luke put away the document in his hand and looked up helplessly at her." It's already so late. Why aren't you sleeping yet?" He sounded as though he was reprimanding her.
Bianca gently blew on the hot drink in her hands, then handed the cup to Luke. "How can I sleep when you're still working? I've made some tangerine honey milk tea for you. Drink it while it's hot."
Luke took the cup of tea.
The golden color of the tea was beautiful. The tangerine pieces floating inside seemed tantalizing.
He took a few sips and was impressed. "Mmm, not bad. The sweet and sour taste makes it very appetizing. I'm lucky that my wife can make such delicious tea. Come over here. Your lips are so dry, and you should have some tea too." "I'm not thirsty. This tea is made just for you." Bianca was not in the mood to listen to his flowery words or drink tea.
So many things had happened recently, and that had exhausted her greatly.
Luke forcefully pulled her into his arms, let her sit on his lap, and fed her a few sips of tea.
Then, he pinched her skinny cheeks and looked at her dearly. "You've lost a lot of weight recently, silly girl. I like you better when your face is meatier."
Bianca rolled her eyes at him. "Meatier? You mean plumper! I think I prefer myself like this. Would you like me better if my face is as round as a pizza?"
Luke could not help but laugh. "Pizza? I don't really mind whatever shape your face might be, you're always the most beautiful woman to me." "You're such a charmer.” Bianca was originally not thirsty. Taking a few sips of the tea whetted her appetite, and she picked up the teacup and drank from it. i
She took several gulps before putting the teacup down. Only a third of the tea was left.
Luke gently tousled her hair seeing that she was happy. His eyes were brimming with love and care.
Bianca blushed when she saw that she had almost finished the tea in the cup.
She had made the tea for Luke, but she ended up drinking most of it. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
She awkwardly patted her stomach and smiled apologetically to Luke. "I'll... I'll make another cup for you."
Luke held her hand and stopped her. "It's fine. I'm not thirsty, and I don't really want to drink tea so late at night. You should rest soon because you need to wake up early tomorrow. You shouldn't stay up so late, your body might not be able to take it."
Bianca hugged his waist and buried her head in his chest. "No, you have to rest too. Otherwise, I'll stay here and accompany you in the study. I mean it, " she said coyly.
Her gaze fell on the stacks of documents on the desk.
There were still so many documents to process. Luke would not be able to finish them tonight even if he were Superman.
Luke did not move. He remained seated on his chair as though he did not hear what she said, though he comforted her by gently patting her cheek." Be a good girl. I'll go and sleep after I'm done reading these documents.
It'll take me half an hour at most..."
Bianca shook her head stubbornly. "No! Go to the bedroom with me now and rest. Otherwise, I'll stay here too."
She knew that the man was only making an excuse when he said that it would only take half an hour.
If she did not force him to go and rest, he would be working overnight. It was fine if he did it on any other day, but he had just been discharged from the hospital, and he had not fully recovered. He should not overwork himself.
Luke was usually helpless against Bianca's coy demands, but today, he shook his head helplessly, disobeying her. One of his hands held Bianca, while the other hand tapped rapidly on the keyboard of his laptop.
Bianca poked his chest seeing that he was stubborn. "It's already two o'clock. The sun will come up soon if you're not going to rest." "Be a good girl and go to bed first. I'll be done soon." Luke picked up Bianca and placed her on the soft bed in the lounge that was attached to the study.
Right after Bianca was placed on the bed, she reached out and hugged
Luke's waist tightly as though she were an octopus. He could not leave.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she started to guilt-trip him. "Luke, please listen to me and take a rest. You're not going to finish that much work tonight, and your body hasn't recovered yet. Why are you pushing yourself so hard? Remember that you're not only T Corporation's CEO but also my husband and the children's father. Can't you rest early for us?" "... Alright." Luke's heart softened when he saw that she was about to cry.
He hesitated for a while, then lay down next to her, hugged her tight, and draped the blanket over the two of them.
As he hugged her fragrant body, Luke could feel his stress melt away and each of the cells in his body relax.
He kissed her forehead and whispered, "Let’s rest."
Bianca's forehead was damp from Luke's kiss.
She looked at his slightly haggard face. Reaching out to touch his chin, she felt the sharp prick of some hair of his beard.
Bianca pouted, yawned, and said casually, "Your beard has been growing very fast recently. I remember shaving it for you only a few days ago, but it's already so thick. You're a workaholic, and you don't know how to groom yourself when you're focused on work. You look like a hobo now. I wonder why so many women are charmed by your appearance."
Luke smiled. "I do have a very convincing face."
Bianca pouted. She remembered being charmed by Luke's handsome looks when she was younger and glared at him. "That's how you managed to deceive me for so many years. I wonder how many innocent young girls have you deceived with this face of yours?"
She was troubled by the number of females who accidentally fell in love with Luke. Ever since they started dating each other, she had been fending off all the women who tried to snatch Luke away from her."
Luke combed her hair with his fingers and smiled indulgently. "I've never used my face to deceive anyone except for you. If possible, I'd like to deceive you for the rest of your life so you'll stay by my
side forever." "Hmph, what flowery words!"
Bianca felt warmth in her heart even though she was not willing to listen to those words.
However, she frowned when she thought of their current situation. "The situation surrounding the Galleria collapse is worsening by the day, Luke. Our PR department almost can't handle it anymore. Have you thought up a solution?" "Mm, you don't have to worry about that. The problem will be solved soon, and the culprits will get what they deserve!"
Luke's voice was very soft, but his eyes flashed with a hawk-like ferocity in the dark...
