Chapter 855 Her Days of Running Rampant Are Almost Over

Bianca returned to her house unhappily with the pieces of the broken inkwell in her hand.

The caretaker noticed her from afar and said excitedly, "You're back, Madam. Sir was mentioning you earlier. What do you want for dinner?"

Bianca glanced at her watch and noticed that it was half-past six. She was quite surprised.

"Luke usually comes home late. Why is he home so early today?" Her voice was more shrill than usual.

The caretaker smiled. "I didn't ask him, but he seems to be in a good mood

Bianca nodded and stepped into the living room.

Luke was sitting on the couch reading a financial newspaper. He smiled happily when he saw his wife come into the house. "You're back." "Mm.’’ Bianca took off her jacket and tossed it on the couch.

Luke could see the worry in Bianca's face.

Luke put the newspaper away, hugged her from behind, and gently kissed her. "What's wrong? Why do you look so down? Did someone bully you?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Bianca opened the box in her hands and revealed the broken inkwell inside. "No one bullied me. I was at Grandpa's house earlier, and I broke his antique inkwell..." she said dejectedly.

Luke picked up one of the pieces and rubbed it between his fingers.

He felt the sharp edges of the broken piece and suddenly smiled. "I thought it was something serious. Don't worry, I know a master conservator. No matter how broken an antique might be, it'll be as good as new in his hands. I'll bring the inkwell to him."

Bianca looked at Luke with surprise. Her eyes were sparkling, but there was a hint of doubt. "The inkwell is already broken like this. There should still be cracks even if your friend manages to restore it, isn't it? It won't be as perfect as it once was."

Luke smiled and gently pinched her earlobe. "I trust in his abilities, and he'll definitely be able to give you a perfect inkwell. Why, don't you trust your husband?"

Bianca felt slightly relieved when she saw how confident he looked. "Of course I trust you. I hope that the inkwell can be restored. I felt so guilty when I saw how sad he was when he looked at the broken pieces..."

Noticing that something was amiss, Luke frowned. "What actually happened? You're not usually so clumsy. You rarely break anything at home, so how did you break Grandpa's inkwell?"

Luke could tell that the inkwell was very expensive.

Old Mr. Norman was an antique lover, and he would usually keep his antiques safe. What coincidence must it be for his wife to "accidentally" break it!

Bianca half-closed her eyes and told him what happened at her grandfather’s house.

Luke chuckled after listening to the entire story. "I thought Leia would've already learned her lesson. Don't worry, her days of running rampant are over. I'll make sure that she won't cause any more trouble."

Bianca wanted to ask if he was going to do something to her, but she did not ask the question anyway.

After dinner, the couple sat on the balcony to enjoy the night scenery.

They had not spent their personal time like that for a long time.

It would be the weekend tomorrow. The driver would bring the twins and Tommy back to their mansion, and the couple would not have any more personal space.

Luke saw that Bianca remained unhappy. There was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Are you still thinking about the inkwell? Don’t worry, it's no big deal at all."

Bianca smiled at him. "Mm, I know."

Luke continued, "You should stay at home for now. Wayne hasn't been arrested yet, and I'm afraid that he might strike again." "Don't worry, I'll be careful. I haven't been working for a very, very long time. I don't want to feel useless."

Even though Bianca knew that she would not have to worry about her finances because she was married to Luke, she did not want to be idle.

Moreover, she was already running her own company. It was stressful, but she felt very accomplished whenever she was at work.

Luke did not agree, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation.

Bianca hugged his neck and said coyly, "I can look after myself, my husband. If you're still worried, I'll bring a few bodyguards with me."

Luke took in her fragrance and tightly hugged her slender waist. "Wayne is much more dangerous than you think. You should know how ruthless he can get. Zander is still in the hospital, and I don't wish anything to happen to you."

Zander was Bianca's driver and bodyguard. When Kassy abducted Bianca, she had heavily injured Zander. He was still in the hospital in a coma.

Bianca felt uneasy after being reminded about what happened to her bodyguard. She could only comply with Luke's wishes. "Alright, I'll stay at home for another month. Next month, I'll have to go to work no matter what. I can't be idle any longer. The rent is expensive, and my employees are waiting for me to pay them."

Luke could not help but chuckle. "So what about that? I can pay for it. You have nothing to worry about?"

Bianca pinched his waist and glared at him. "Do you think that your money grows on trees? If you're going to waste your money like that, be careful that our children won't have any money to eat." "Don't worry. They can be jobless for all their lives, and their inheritance would be enough to last them several lifetimes." Luke laughed and went to the wine cabinet to retrieve a bottle of red wine.

Then, he turned on the mini projector on the left side of the balcony.

He fiddled with the remote and browsed to the horror section.

He selected "The Curse of the Village," a classic horror film, and pressed the play button.

He remembered watching the movie a few years ago. The movie was very old, but it was nonetheless scary. He was drenched in a cold sweat at the end of the movie.

He had heard before that a man should watch a horror movie with his girlfriend or wife.

Luke was curious to find out what his wife's reaction would be.

Would she be shaking in fear, or would she snuggle in his arms looking for comfort?
