Chapter 960 Luke Was Pissed

After Percy left with Nina, Bianca had to spend some time reassuring Steven and promising that she would arrange for another meet-up soon enough.

Steven was dissatisfied but did not say much.

Bianca knew he was upset and bought two bottles of fine wine at the hotel. When she sent him off, she handed him the wine and the other's mood seemed to ease a little.

She was relieved when she watched him leave with his secretary.

Bianca was not confident that she could secure this partnership.

Bianca massaged her face, which had been cramping from smiling all night. She sighed helplessly. She called for an Uber because she did not want to drive after drinking.

When she got home, she walked into the living room and found that Luke was not working in the study as he usually was. He was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

"Luke?" Bianca called out to him softly. The moment she saw the man waiting for her in the living room, her foul mood was gone.

She did not want to think about how to secure the partnership with St. Heckler Hotel. At that moment, all she wanted was to be with Luke.

"Come and sit here." Luke pointed to the seat next to him while holding a teacup.

Bianca sat down and leaned on him.

Luke could smell the alcohol on her clothes. He picked up the lid of the teacup and passed it to her. "Drink some tea."

Bianca smelled the sweet honey, and after drinking several glasses of red wine, her stomach was not feeling the best. This honey tea could ease her discomfort.

"Thank you." She took it and drank several sips.

The tea was perfectly warm as if Luke knew when exactly to start preparing it.

The warm tea slid down her throat and into her stomach, alleviating a lot of the discomfort she was feeling.

Bianca put down the teacup, smiled gently, and looked into Luke's deepset eyes.

Maybe it was because she had a few to drink, she seemed to see thousands of stars in Luke's eyes. She could not help but say, "Luke, I'm so glad to have you by my side."

Luke looked at her blushing face and sighed. The fury in his heart was instantly extinguished by her beautiful face.

"How was dinner?" He squeezed her soft hand and gently played with the diamond ring on her ring finger. It was glowing under the lights.

Bianca frowned and sighed when she thought about dinner.

"It didn't go well?" Luke asked. He thought about Percy's text and decided that he would take her side no matter what had happened.

Even though she had a wedding ring on, there were still men who coveted her beauty.

Luke was pissed.

Bianca shook her head and did not intend to tell him about Steven. That was because Mavis Laviere was involved.

Mavis was one of Luke's best assistants before leaving. She did not want to ruin their relationship over this.

Although Luke did not feel the same way for Mavis as she felt for him, they had a good working relationship.

"It's nothing." Bianca picked up the teacup and took another sip. The honey tea made her stomach feel better. She gently leaned her head on Luke's shoulder.

Luke noticed that she was avoiding the topic and asked her directly, "What did the developer of St. Heckler do to you?”

Bianca was stunned! She looked up and uttered, "How did you know?"

Before he answered her, she knew that it must be Percy who said something to him.

When she met Luke's gaze, she told him everything, including Mavis’ involvement.

Luke had already guessed that Bianca was taken advantage of by the developer, but when he heard it from her, his heart burned with anger.

He was not mad at Bianca but at the pig-headed man who was about to meet his doom.

Bianca tried to calm him. "Luke..."

Luke asked, "Where did he touch you?"

Seeing his serious expression, Bianca knew how terrible things would get if he was this angry. She feared for Steven's life.

She smiled and replied, "He didn't touch me too much, and Nina helped me block most of it. Poor thing."

Luke snorted. "My love, be honest with me."

His aura was so strong that Bianca could not put up with it. She obediently told the truth, "My hands... and waist."

She did not dare to tell him that Steven tried to kiss her on the cheek but she dodged it.

"Please don't be angry." Bianca felt his mood turn gloomy just after she started speaking.

It was not easy for a woman to set up a company, so there might be more events like this in the future.

She wanted to build a company of her own and did not want any help from Luke. She wanted to prove to everyone that she was worthy to stand by his side.

Pig-headed men were unavoidable. Bianca could still accept what had happened tonight.

"I'm not angry." Luke's face relaxed a little.

"I'm going to check on the kids." Bianca was missing her three babies. They were already in bed but she wanted to check on them before getting ready for bed.

"They're already asleep. You can see them tomorrow.” Luke stretched out his hands and wrapped them around her waist.

"I..." When Bianca wanted to continue speaking, she noticed that Luke had tightened his grip on her waist. She asked, ' What are you doing?"

Luke proclaimed, "You belong to me, no man is allowed to leave a mark on your body." He held her waist so tightly that it seemed that he wanted to imprint his mark on her.

Bianca sensed his raging jealousy, and when she was thinking about what to do, he suddenly carried her.

"Ah..." The sudden movement startled her.

Luke loved to carry her. Despite having done it many times, she would still be startled.

"Luke..." Bianca clung to his neck. He walked in steady steps as he carried her upstairs.

Luke said, "My love, I don't like you smelling like other men."

The thought of her being harassed by a man pissed him off.

His beloved wife was touched by that shameless man. He could not turn a blind eye to it.

"I'm going to shower." Bianca wondered if she smelled like Steven. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"I'll help you." Luke kicked the room door open and brought her to the bathroom.

Bianca knew that she would not be able to sleep early that night.

Luke was only willing to let her go an hour later. Bianca picked up her phone and glanced at it. There was a message from Nina.

She felt at ease knowing that Nina was fine. She was about to reply to her but her phone was taken away by Luke.

"My love, it's late." Luke showed a lazy smile that was brighter than the stars at night.

Bianca was bewitched by his smile and thought to herself, 'He seems alright... He'll leave Steven alone... right?

When he saw that she was in a daze, Luke pulled up their comforter and said, "Let's go to bed."

Bianca nodded, turned sideways, and hugged his waist while closing her eyes.
