Chapter 938 It Feels Good That the Family Is United

"... Stuffed pancakes." Luke had never felt so defeated in his life. As he took his hand out of the mixing bowl, pancake batter dripped from his gloves.

He furrowed his brows, feeling slightly disgusted.

Bianca tried hard not to laugh when she removed the gloves from his hands and washed her hands. "Let me do it."

Luke knew that he was not going to succeed, so he stepped aside.

Bianca put on the gloves and mixed the pancake batter.

Luke had added too much water, so Bianca had to add more flour.

Luke wanted to do something instead of just standing there. He cleaned up the chopping board and prepared the stuffing.

Soon, the bowl of thin pancake batter was at the right consistency.

Luke could not help but be impressed.

After that, Bianca chopped up some chives. "Why do you want to make stuffed pancakes instead of normal pancakes early in the morning?" "I heard Tommy talking in his sleep last night." Luke was a light sleeper, and he would easily wake up if he heard any noise. He had heard what his son said the night before.

"What did he say?" Bianca woke up at her usual time and did not hear anything during the night.

"He's been repeating that he wants to eat stuffed pancakes," Luke placed the chopped streaky bacon on a plate and prepared to further season it according to the recipe.

Bianca could not help but chuckle. She stopped him from adding more salt. "You don't have to follow the recipe so strictly. We’re used to eating lighter food. Let me do it."

She understood the tastes of the family members. Luke stepped aside.

After Bianca seasoned the meat, she instructed Luke to mince the washed greens. Then, she mixed it into the batter and instructed Luke how to cook them in the skillet.

Luke was not very skilled in cooking, but he was quite talented and managed to make several nice- looking pancakes.

"The ones that you made are for Tommy," Bianca planted a toothpick flag on Luke’s pancakes.

"Why?" Luke did not understand.

"You’re satisfying his cravings." Bianca chuckled and tapped the tip of his nose with a finger, leaving a white floury mark on it.

Luke was amused, but he did not want to dirty Bianca's face with flour.

The fragrance from the grilled meat patties wafted into the living room.

Tommy ran into the kitchen and drooled when he saw the stacks of pancakes. "Yay, pancakes!"

Bianca patted the little boy's head and said, "Daddy knows that you want to eat pancakes for breakfast today, so he made these for you."

Bianca glanced at Luke, who was preparing the cutlery, and felt moved." Because he's your father, and he can do anything," she said softly.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Luke might not be perfect, but to Bianca, he could do anything.

Tommy gestured a thumbs-up at his father. "You're like Superman, Daddy! I want to learn from you!"

Luke felt quite smug about himself after receiving praise from his son.

Lanie patted his younger brother’s head and said, "Daddy is my idol too." "I think so too!" Rainie nodded.

Bianca was not jealous when she saw how the three children surrounded their father. Instead, she was relieved that their hearts were united.

For the next few days, various online media outlets continued to report on Bianca. No matter how Luke tried to suppress the reporting, someone seemed to be opposing him and kept on reporting that Bianca had harmed Riley.

She could only remain in the mansion and hide from public view.

She became a full-time housewife since she could not go to the company.

One day, Bianca woke up early as usual and made breakfast for the family, then went online to read the latest news.

Riley was recovering steadily in the hospital, but the people online treated her as though she were dead.

Some people even said that Bianca had murdered Riley and destroyed the body to evade legal responsibility.

Bianca laughed dryly. The police would have detained her because of public pressure, if not that she had an alibi when Riley disappeared.

Luke brought the kids down the stairs, and his heart sank when he saw that Bianca was browsing on her phone with a complicated expression on her face. "Bea," he called out.

"You're already awake. Breakfast is ready. I'll bring it out for you," Bianca said and went to the kitchen.

Lanie noticed Bianca's expression and tugged Luke's pant leg.

Luke lowered his head and looked at his son.

"Daddy, Mommy seems unhappy. You're too inefficient in handling that incident," Lanie said softly. He knew that his mother was distraught by the news she read online.

He knew that his mother was innocent, but those people pinned the blame on her. Lanie felt aggrieved for her, and at the same time, blamed his father.

After all, Luke had promised the children that he would take care of their mother.

"Don't worry, it'll be settled soon," Luke was not very happy when he heard his son's accusation.

He wanted to set Riley free and let her tell the truth, but Johann said that it was not the time yet.

Fortunately, Johann sent him a message the night before saying that Riley's condition had improved. It was about time that they could prepare for Riley to divulge the truth herself.

"Come and get your breakfast!" Bianca's voice could be heard from the kitchen.

Luke patted the three children's heads. "Go and eat your breakfast. Don't let Mommy worry."

The three children went to the dining table obediently.

After the family of five had their breakfast, Luke fetched Lanie and Rainie to school on the way to work.

They were already absent for a few days, and Bianca did not want them to lag behind in their studies. That was why she wanted them to go back to school.

Meanwhile, Bianca stayed at home and took care of Tommy.

Bianca was playing games with Tommy in the living room. He was at an age where he was curious about everything, and educational games would help him in his mental development.

Bianca received a phone call from Rain around noon. "Please come to the hospital, Madam. Riley has something to tell you."

The smile on Bianca's face dissipated. ' Alright, I'll go over now."

She handed Tommy to the caretaker and hurriedly rushed to the hospital.

Rain did not tell her much over the phone, though Bianca had an ominous premonition because Rain sounded anxious.

'Did something happen to Riley? Didn't Johann say that her condition was improving?'

However, Bianca soon thought of something else. 'Or... is she going to tell the truth?'

She did not know which possibility it was. All she could do was floor the gas pedal and speed toward the hospital.
