Chapter 916 Tommy Is a Big Boy Now
"What's wrong?" Bianca lowered her head and looked at Tommy. His round face was full of grievances as though someone had treated him unfairly.
Tommy hugged her leg tightly and complained, "Mrs. Solana says that I can't sleep with you."
The caretaker felt helpless when she heard the little boy say that, but she did not want to be too agitated in front of Luke.
Bianca patted Tommy's head. Before she could say anything, Luke said," Tommy, do you remember what I told you?"
Tommy turned his head and looked at him. He thought for a long while before saying, "You said that I'm a big boy now!" "And you need to learn to be independent,” Luke added the second half of the sentence that Tommy forgot. He bent over, patted Tommy’s head, and picked him up. "That's why you should pick a room that you like and don't always cling to your Mommy."
Tommy blinked innocently and reflected upon what his father told him.
Eventually, Tommy compromised and jumped onto the floor. "Alright, I'll pick the room next to Lanie's!" "Mm." Luke nodded.
The caretaker held Tommy's hand and led him to the bedroom.
Soon, Sean came upstairs with Lanie and Rainie's backpacks.
Bianca smiled at Luke. “The caretaker will be very busy unpacking for the children. Let me help her."
Luke had hired a cleaner to clean the mansion periodically. Without a live- in caretaker, the beds remained undone.
"Alright."
Bianca helped Rainie put on the bed sheet.
She opened the closet and could not help but smile when she found a set of pink bed sheets inside. Luke knew what Rainie's favorite color was.
She unfolded the bedsheet and placed it on the bed.
"Let me help you, Mommy," Rainie said.
"Good girl." They fitted the bedsheet, then prepared the pillows and blanket.
Rainie looked at her mother busy at work and was slightly confused. Her Mommy was so kind, so why did other people want to ruin her reputation?
"Mommy..." Curiosity eventually overcame Rainie.
Bianca turned her head and looked at her daughter. "Yes, my dear?" "Why do people want to harm you?" Rainie asked the question that had been troubling her. This incident, as well as the previous abduction, had affected her greatly.
Bianca's heart softened. She hugged Rainie.
"I don't know either." She smiled gently. Perhaps life was fair like that. After giving her a loving husband and a happy family, fate threw a few obstacles in her way.
Rainie rested her head on her mother's chest. ”1 think those people are evil. You're the best Mommy in the world, and you love Daddy and us. Why must they do that to you?" "We can't control what other
people do to us, Rainie. What we can control is how we deal with it. As long as we remain true to ourselves, they won't be able to hurt us," Bianca patiently explained to Rainie, hoping that it will alleviate the little girl's worries.
Rainie was still young, and she should not carry too many negative emotions.
"Mm." Rainie sniffed, and the worry in her eyes went away. "Let's make the bed and go and help Lanie and Tommy." "Alright." Bianca ruffled her hair. Rainie was so considerate.
After helping out the kids, she saw Luke standing on the balcony, talking on the phone with someone.
She did not go near him. Instead, she looked at him from afar.
Luke turned around to look at her and said to Old Master Crawford on the other end of the phone, "It should be settled by tomorrow.”
Old Master Crawford trusted his grandson. He had found out the details behind the incident.
"Tell Bianca not to be so careless next time so that she doesn't get into trouble again," he added. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
If Bianca were not so trusting, she would not have been involved in the incident.
"She doesn't go around looking for trouble, Grandfather. On the other hand, some people need a lesson," Luke said and ended the call.
The Tanners must be behind the incident.
However, he could not tell if it was Xavier, Daniel, or Lacey.
Luke entered the house.
Bianca took his hand. The back of his phone was hot; he was on the call for a very longtime.
"Who is it?" "It's Grandfather. He was asking about the situation." Luke put the phone in his pocket and took her hand again. "Are you still busy with settling in?" "It's only a few beds. That's not too much trouble." Bianca held his hand and sat down on the couch. "What else did Grandpa say?" "Nothing." Luke did not plan to tell her what Old Master Crawford said.
He had been attracted by Bianca's innocence, and he would protect her no matter how difficult things might be.
Bianca knew that Luke was hiding something from her, but she did not ask any more questions.
Queenie gave Bianca a call that night.
"I just saw the news, Bea. What's going on? Why were you taken to the police station?" Queenie sounded worried. Jack and she had not been keeping up with the news for the entire day. They would still be oblivious to what happened to their daughter if they had not turned on the television.
Queenie could not remain calm, and that was why she called Bianca.
"I'm fine, Mom. I was there to record a statement." Bianca smiled and rested her head on Luke's shoulder.
He was working, and Bianca tried to learn something from him.
"Are you sure that you're fine? The report was very exaggerated. Remember that we are here for you, Bea. You don't have to keep everything to yourself. Just tell us when you need our help, alright?" Queenie said worriedly. She had felt guilty for not taking care of Bianca during her formative years.
They wanted to extend their help to T Corporation, but Jack was in a sensitive position, and there was not much that they could do.
Bianca looked at Luke. He was focused on processing some documents from the company.
She smiled sweetly, put on her slippers, and left the study so that she did not disturb Luke.
"I'm really fine, Mom. You shouldn’t trust the articles they write on the Internet. It's full of speculation and misinformation," Bianca said," Moreover, I have Luke behind me. You have nothing to worry about."
Queenie put the call on speaker, and Jack heard what Bianca said. "Both your mom and I don't believe that you'd do something like that. It's just that the news has gotten out of hand, and the police will be pressured into action. You'll have to be careful of that. If you ever get in trouble, you can give me a call. I have people I know in the police department." "Thank you, Dad. You don't have to worry. Everything will be resolved by tomorrow." Bianca sounded like she was sobbing. It was not a major incident, and she had not planned on bothering anyone.
"Alright, but you also have to promise us that you'll tell us the moment something like this happens to you. Don't keep it to yourself, alright?" Queenie was slightly relieved when she heard that her daughter remained determined and optimistic.
Bianca replied in the affirmative once more. After the call ended, she sent a message to her aunt to briefly explain the situation and tell her that there was nothing to worry about.
