Chapter 195 A Faint Feminine Scent


    After sessfully raising a ruckus in the Tanner family, Allison went home.


    Back at the hospital, Allison did not see Susan and Louis. Old Master Crawford was lying on the bed


    while Luke was sitting next to him.


    She could see that her son was very concerned about his grandfather''s condition.


    Looking at the scene, she mouthed a silent prayer that Old Master Crawford would recover slower. If


    his condition worsened, her son would have to stay by his side!


    That way, the eldest grandson of the Old Master would not be able to leave for the small town! i


    Otherwise, constrictive social norms wouldbel him as an unfilial grandson!


    Allison felt as though she was losing her humanity in her attempts to separate Bianca from her son.


    She had no other choice. If Luke married Bianca, her life would turn into a living hell. Bianca seemed


    like her nemesis!


    The caretaker in charge of Old Master Crawford''s diet arrived to deliver lunch.


    Allison took out the lunch boxes from the bag.


    "Father, Aunt Jemma made all your favorite food. It''s also good for your health."


    As Allison spoke, she sat down and spoon-fed Old Master Crawford.


    Old Master Crawford might be ill, but he had an appetite.


    After feeding him for a while, she found the appropriate time to speak," There is something that I have


    to tell you, Father."


    Old Master Crawford did not say anything, implying that she should continue.


    Allison did not look at her son and continued speaking, "Earlier, my elder brother asked me to go to his


    house because he had something to tell me. Over there, I''ve heard that Bianca... is already pregnant


    with Xavier''s child."


    As expected, Old Master Crawford''s expression froze when he heard that.


    If Bianca loved his grandson and not the Tanner kid, then she should have saved her virginity for his


    grandson!


    If the Tanner kid had forced himself upon her, he would sue him in court!


    If she had secretly borne a child for the Tanners, that was being unfaithful to Luke!


    Old Master Crawford did not expect that.


    "There''s no such thing." Luke looked sinisterly at his mother on the other side of the bed, then


    exined to his grandfather, "That was a lie that Xavier made up to appease my uncle."


    Allison did not expect the truth to be like that...


    She once again felt nervous...


    The tension between mother and son reached a peak. In apse of concentration, she nearly dropped


    the spoon in her hand.


    In the small town.


    Bianca did not cook. She prepared and cut the ingredients and also bought cutlery, cookware, and


    other kitchen utensils.


    She did every other chore except for cooking.


    The young colleagues got to know each other better as they chatted while eating.


    At the end of the meal, they also drank some beer.


    Bianca did not have a high tolerance for alcohol and only drank a ss.


    After cleaning up, Joe said excitedly. "The air in the town is so fresh. I can''t wait to see what the ce


    would look like after development."


    There was nothing attractive about the town except for the scenery around it.


    They had to live in the town for a period so that they could personally experience its beauty and culture


    and draft a perfect project proposal.


    Bianca was doing the dishes in the kitchen.


    At that moment, a car drove over.


    Everyone turned to look at it, but Bianca could not see it from where she was.


    A Porsche Cayenne drove toward the two-storypound and parked in front of it. A person each


    stepped out of the driver seat and the passenger seat.


    The person who got out from the passenger seat said, "This is the ce. I''ll be going home!"


    Xavier took out several dor bills from his wallet and handed them to the person.


    The town folk took the money and happily jogged away.


    It was public knowledge since a few years ago that the town was to be developed.


    Now that the developmentpany sent a team over, it was major news to the people living there.


    Everyone knew about their presence.


    Xavier did not know where Bianca was exactly, and she did not answer his calls or reply to his


    messages. He asked around in town, and someone brought him there.


    The T Corporation workers sitting in the courtyard did not know who Xavier was, but they acted


    cautiously when they saw how he dressed and the car he drove, worried that he might be from the


    higher management conducting a spot check.


    "Anyone here can tell me where Bianca Rayne is?" Xavier''s words and mannerisms made everyone


    think that he was like a hooligan.


    Someone pointed toward the kitchen.


    Xavier turned to look in that direction and started walking there.


    Bianca was washing several cups under the tap. The flowing water made a lot of noise.

    While she fixed her gaze upon the sshing water, a pair of arms abruptly hugged her from behind.


    In the courtyard, Joe looked at the scene in the kitchen with surprise.


    The sink directly faced the kitchen entrance, so everyone outside could see what was happening


    inside. However, a person standing at the sink could not see what was happening outside.


    "Isn''t she... with the boss..." Joe looked away embarrassedly and asked a colleague from the design


    department.


    Bianca was from the design department, and Joe thought that the people from the design department


    would know more about Bianca.


    The colleague from the design department was equally as confused. As she guessed who the person


    hugging Bianca might be, she took out her phone and gossiped to her colleagues in A City.


    In the kitchen, Bianca dropped the pot in her hands and took several steps away. She regarded


    Xavier''s sudden presence in the kitchen with fear.


    "Should a wife act like that when her husband hugs her?" Xavier was not angry; he did not like Bianca


    anyway. However, he could smell the faint feminine scent that Bianca left on her body.


    He thought that it smelled quite nice.


    Meanwhile, outside the courtyard, the colleague received a voice message from A City. "Bianca doesn''t


    have any rtionship with the boss. Yvonne already told us when she came to work today, saying that


    Bianca is the boss''s uncle''s son''s wife. It''s a long way. In any case, the boss is concerned about Bianca


    because they''re rtives. Also, I''ve heard that Bianca is pregnant, and that''s why the boss is so


    concerned," The colleague said as she was getting off work.


    Sue, who was nning to stay behind and work overtime, turned to look at the colleague who had sent


    the voice message.


    Soon, the colleague replied again, "Who else could have hugged Bianca''s waist in front of everyone, if


    not for her husband? Give them some private space!"


    Sue opened Jason''s chat window and sent him a text message.


    [What''s going on? I''ve heard that the Xavier guy is in the town and making a move on Bianca. Does the


    boss know about this?]
