Chapter 19 Still, This Was Her House...


    nche watched as his father drove away grumpily. The boy knew that he had definitely hurt his father


    this time, stabbing his words right into his father’s frigid heart.


    Rainie came down the stairs and walked out of the house, asking her brother, “Where did Dad go?”


    “He just left. I think I might have hurt him.” The boy lowered his head guiltily, sounding really upset as he


    admitted to his younger sister.


    “Big Bro, I miss Miss Bea!”


    What about Dad, you ask? What about him? He was not tasty or fun, and he always looked at her so


    fiercely. She liked him even less than her annoying chatterbox of a teacher. Rainie Crawford never really


    cared if her father was around on the weekends.


    Miss Bea was different, though. She was pretty and smelled good too.


    “Rainie, do you want me to take you to Miss Bea’s ce? I know where she stays!” nche said, picking


    up his sister’s hand.


    Rainie nodded.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    The twins immediately came to an agreement.


    They left the house, hailing a ride on an app.


    Once they told the driver their destination, the car headed straight for Bianca’s neighborhood.


    However, one of the Crawfords’ drivers followed behind the cab in his car too.


    When the cars reached a neighborhood called Regal Capital, the driver called Luke and reported, “Sir,


    the young master and youngdy are at a neighborhood called Regal Capital. They’re standing outside


    now, and it looks like they’re waiting for someone.


    “Yes, sir. I’ll keep an eye on them.”


    Upon hanging up, the driver went back to keeping a close eye on the children, not daring to look away


    for even a second.


    “Big Bro, shall we call Miss Bea?” Rainie raised her head and looked at the other men and women going


    in and out of the neighborhood. They were looking at her, too, and she was a little scared.


    Her brother only knew that Miss Bea lived here and which block was hers, but he did not know which


    floor she stayed on.


    nche frowned and looked at the Crawford car parked by the roadside. He just knew that Dad would


    have someone follow his sister and him.


    He was about to bring his sister over to the “public telephone” to make a call, but they had no sooner


    looked away when they saw Miss Bea!


    When Bianca saw the two children walking hand in hand, looking out for each other, she was struck


    speechless once again.


    Why were her boss’ kids always running to her ce…?


    Yes, Bianca really liked these kids, but it was still not a good idea for her to spend too much time with


    them or be too close to them. If anyone else found out, she could not imagine what they might say.


    In the worst-case scenario, she might even lose her job.


    Bianca walked up to them, exasperated. Looking into their innocent little faces, she asked, “Why are you


    two here?”


    “I-I brought my sister here in a cab. We got into a fight with Dad, and he yelled at my little sister. He even


    made her cry. We… We don’t have anywhere to go.” nche made the first move.


    They wanted to stay, so he had to push the me onto his father for now, making him out to be some


    sort of tyrant.


    Bianca crouched down and reassessed the two kids’ pitiful looks. She reached out to touch Rainie’s


    face, saying in concern, “Be good, children, and go home, okay? Parents don’t stay angry with their kids


    for long, and I’m sure your father just lost his temper for a while there. I bet he really regrets being mad


    at you.”


    Bianca felt sorry for the poor kids since their dad yelled at them. But they were still someone else’s kids.


    No matter what, she did not have the right to interfere in their family matters.


    Their reason to stay had been shot down. Helpless, nche squeezed his sister’s hand.


    As though she received some holy decree, Rainie immediately lowered her head and pouted her lips.


    She looked like she was on the verge of bursting into tears.


    “Alright, then. We won’t disturb you anymore. Come on, let’s go…” nche put on a strong face as he


    pulled his sister’s hand, making to leave. However, Rainie would not move.


    Her brother yanked at her hand again, and she even fell.


    Her skin was thin and soft. When she fell onto the coarse road in the neighborhood, covered in stones,


    she instantly skinned her knees.


    “Sob…”


    The girl began to cry.


    Bianca threw everything else aside and immediately pulled Rainie from the floor into her arms. She


    patted little Rainie on her back, consoling her, “It’s alright, it’s alright. Don’t cry, don’t cry. I’ll take you to


    my ce and give you something nice to eat.”


    “Sooob…” Rainie had been crying, but the moment the nicedy said she would take her and Lanie back


    home, she stopped crying in an instant. Instead, she nodded firmly and leaned into Bianca’s embrace.


    “Okay! Miss Bea, I really love you the best…”


    Bianca sighed soundlessly.


    nche followed behind her.


    When they reached her ce, Bianca put Rainie down and found two pairs of new slippers for the two


    children to put on.


    nche and Rainie stomped around the house in their huge slippers, but there was not much to explore.


    The ce had one bedroom and one living hall, making it infinitely smaller than Crawford Manor. Still,


    they really liked it.


    “Rainie,e here and sit down.” Bianca took out her first-aid kit.


    Rainie obediently sat down.


    “Hang in there, okay? Tell me if it hurts.” Bianca took out some ointment, cotton, and gauze.


    There was a bruise the size of a fingernail on the girl’s knee.


    nche stood to a side, patting his sister’s shoulder with a small hand. As expected, his sister stayed


    strong and did notin about the pain. She just frowned and held it in until her knee was properly


    bandaged.


    “This looks really pretty.”


    Rainie looked down at her knee, as though she had never seen a bandage and gauze tied into a bow


    before.


    Bianca patted her head with a smile. When she nced at the time again, she saw that it was already


    eleven.


    “Have you had lunch yet?” Bianca asked them.


    nche shook his head.


    “Well then, you two can watch the TV for a bit and I’ll make you lunch. What do you want to eat?”


    Bianca turned on the TV and found them a cartoon to watch before rummaging through the fridge for


    ingredients.


    nche looked at Rainie and said, “Rainie wants fried chicken. I’m okay with anything… I’m not picky.”


    Rainie instantly said. “I’m not picky either.”


    She was really easy to handle. All she wanted was something to eat so she did not go hungry.


    Bianca was nning to feed them well before sending them home.


    It took twenty minutes to cook the rice.


    Bianca had never saved Luke’s number. All she vaguely remembered was that the number was eleven


    digits long, and that it was easy to recall. However, the owner of the number was too cold and distant, so


    she cast it out of her mind as soon as she could, afraid to memorize it.


    To tell the truth, even if she had saved the number or remembered it, Bianca did not really dare to call


    him over to pick up the kids either.


    Since the kids had taken a cab here, they could also take a cab back. At the most, she would secretly


    see the kids back to their doorstep before leaving. That was what Bianca was thinking, anyway.


    She made three dishes and one soup, all of them mild but healthy.


    Bianca had some faith in her cooking skills, definitely.


    After telling the kids to stay put, Bianca took her keys and went downstairs to buy fried chicken.


    It just so happened that there was a fried chicken chain store downstairs. It looked pretty clean and


    sanitary too.


    Having bought the chicken, Bianca rushed back to her home, worried that the dishes she had made


    would go cold.


    Putting the key into the keyhole, Bianca opened her house door.


    At first she thought that Rainie would be waiting at the door in anticipation when she heard the key


    turning, but when Bianca opened the door, she saw a mature man’s face instead.


    Her smile froze on her face, and she was too scared to even go into the house.


    Still, this was her house...
