Chapter 180 The Two of Them Became Sweet and Intimate All of a Sudden
She breathed in the man’s refreshing scent. After gasping for air for a while, Bianca finally settled back
into reality.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Luke’s cold lips pressed on her forehead.
Then, hisrge hand pushed her messy hair behind her ear. He looked at her fair face and wet eyes.
He said softly, "Don’t be scared. I''m not going anywhere."
Bianca felt d. She was d that it was just a nightmare.
The reality she saw after she opened her eyes was not as bad as her nightmare. 1
One of her hands grabbed the man''s firm waist while another grabbed the shirt in front of the man''s
chest. She opened her mouth after she heard the man''sforting words, but she did not say
anything.
The air in the small room plunged into silence.
After a long while, Bianca''s limbs regained feeling. Then, she removed her hands from his waist and
chest.
The shirt that Luke was wearing was wrinkled after Bianca let go.
"I''m sorry. I-I''ll iron it for you." Aside from this, Bianca had no other words.
After she said that, she was about to get up.
Luke pulled her back and pressed her in his arms. He said firmly, "Sleep more. It’s still early."
The man''s hot breathnded on her cheek and ear. The atmosphere between the two of them became
sweet and intimate all of a sudden.
Perhaps the temperature today was higher and Luke was beside her, so the air around Bianca felt all
warm and toasty.
It was easier for her to fall asleep.
Ever since she was 18, she rarely slept in.
The temperature of Luke''s body and the air around him felt safe. Bianca admitted that she would
sometimes feel reluctant to give him up.
Whatever. She would just treat this as her being semi-conscious. She was allowed to cling to him.
Her trembling eyshes finally calmed down. Her heavy breathing after she woke up slowly calmed
down as well.
This time, Bianca did not have any nightmares after she fell asleep.
The bed in the bedroom was not big.
Even though it was a queen-sized bed, it was not enough for two adults, especially a tall adult with long
legs. There was no room for the bottom half of his legs.
When Bianca slept here with the five-year-old Rainie, she did not dare to move too much. She was
worried that she would fall on the child.
Luke was tired, but he did not sleep.
He had stayed in the office until 5 AM. There was no traffic in the morning, so after he went back to the
rented apartment, it was not even 5:30 AM.
He opened the door with the spare key before going over to his son''s room.
The little guy had his leg over the nket, having kicked it away. He was sleeping soundly and was
snoring lightly.
After putting the nket on his son, he went to Bianca''s room.
Rainie was sleeping in a better positionpared to Lanie. She would only change to one or two
positions during the night.

When he was about to close the door and leave, he heard movements from the bed. He turned around
and saw Bianca frowning. There was a sheen of sweat on her face, and she was stirring lightly on the
bed with a pained expression.
Luke did not know what kind of nightmare she was having. He walked over and tried to wake her.
Bianca was sleep-talking. She rambled on and on, but it was unclear what she was saying.
Eventually, Lukey on the bed on his side and pulled her into his arms. He grabbed her hand and
kissed her forehead to try to make her feel safe.
Then, he clearly heard her saying, "Don''t go. Please don''t go."
Those five words she uttered made him frown.
One''s dream would reflect what a person was thinking about during the daytime.
Luke did not know who was the person she was begging and pleading in such a pitiful manner not to
leave her.
Biancacked a mother''s love since she was young. Though she had never said it out loud, she must
have longed for a mother''s love when she was a child. She must have wanted to know who her mother
was.
Just like Lanie and Rainie, after they grew up, they would swallow down all the pain that they should
not even be suffering in their childhood. They had never asked for their mother when they were young.
However, in reality, Lanie and Rainie longed for their mother as well.
Now that they had Aunt Bea, they were so dependent and fond of her even when they did not know
that she was their mother. 1
Lukeforted the sleeping woman. He would rather believe that she was missing her mother and
wanting to make her mother stay instead of someone else.
A garbage ex-boyfriend like Jean was not worthy of her wanting him to stay.
He recalled how after the police investigation they found out Jean had taken and sent Bianca''s nudes
to other men as a business trade. Luke wanted so badly for him to rot in jail forever.
He thought about a lot of things in the midst of his jealousy. Then, Bianca said fearfully in her dream,
"Don''t you want me? I''ll give myself to you. I''ll give myself to you now. Please don''t take Lanie and
Rainie away..."
At this moment, he knew that the man in Bianca''s dream was him.
Luke held her closer to him. He had never coaxed his daughter the way he was coaxing this woman
now. He allowed her to grab his shirt and waist to prevent him from leaving. 1
The woman''s warm and soft fingers scratched all over his waist. That was a gesture of insecurity. That
was a gesture of her longing for him to stay.
However, since he was already suffering from morning wood, these gestures made him even more
aroused.
Luke had never suffered from such a bad case of morning wood before.
He coaxed her back to sleep and ced the nket on her shoulder. Then, he got up gently and went
to the toilet.
When Lanie woke up, he ran to the toilet because he needed to pee.
"Daddy, why are you awake so early?" The little guy opened the door and saw his father. After he
hesitated for a while, he asked while he peed.
Luke had finished washing his hands and was cing down the white towel Bianca had prepared for
him yesterday.
Before his father could respond, the little guy had finished peeing and he walked out while holding his
pajama bottoms. He mumbled energetically," Daddy, bring my clothes and shoes over after school
later. It''s almost fall. Also, bring over my clothes and shoes for winter too."
Luke turned on the television and ced down the remote. He asked, "Are you nning to stay here
forever?"
"Of course. Why would I want to go back to that icy household?" When he walked to the door of the
bedroom, the little guy turned around and looked at the serious man on the sofa while holding his
pajama bottoms in confusion. "Aren''t you busy? You always say that. You said you don’t have time to
take care of US. Now that we have Aunt Bea, you can go on with your business. Don’t forget to pay for
our tuition fees. Aunt Bea works hard taking care of US. I don’t want to be an economic burden for her."
The man who was watching the morning news said tly, "Your greatgrandpa will miss you."
"If he misses me, I''ll go back to visit him and I''lle back here at night. Or maybe, we can get Great-
grandpa to live here too." The little guy''s world was so simple.
Luke frowned, his lips pressed together in a thin line. He did not say anything for a long while. It was
unknown whether it was because of the morning news or what his son said. 1
The little guy went back to his room timidly.
Grandpa Rayne had always stayed in the master bedroom, and it was three square feet bigger than the
other bedroom. Bianca slept for more than an hour in the other bedroom before finally waking up.
When she walked out, she went to clean herself. She stood in the toilet for a long time while the
toothbrush dangled from her lips. A million thoughts raced across her mind and her head was so
muddled that she did not know whether she had a solution or not. Then, she walked out.
The morning news had already ended. The curtains of the living room were closed and it was not too
bright inside. The tall and slender many on the sofa. He had fallen asleep with a frown on his face.
