Chapter 243 Two Considerate Children


    Leia stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon. She lifted her head and asked conservatively, "Brother


    Xavier, what I''m most concerned about are his two children. Where did he get them?"


    Xavier was surprised.


    Brother Xavier?


    That title was too sharine-sweet.


    As far as he remembered, thest time Leia called him "Brother Xavier" was when she had recently


    stepped out of the orphanage and into elite society. She gave everyone appetions such as "Brother"


    or "Sister."


    As her social status climbed, she found herself to be equals with Xavier and stopped calling him


    "Brother."


    Of course, she could be equals with Xavier because she was Jack Norman and Queenie Zeigler''s


    daughter. In fact, as a Norman, she was of a higher status.


    Xavier had never considered Leia to be part of his n in trying to separate Bianca from Luke.


    However, Xavier quickly thought of something. "To be frank, I don''t know where the two children came


    from, even though my family asionally talks about it. I can guess that Luke doesn''t have a close


    rtionship with the children''s mother."


    That was what Leia wanted to hear!


    She hoped that Luke did not have any rtionship with the children''s mother at all!


    As far as she knew, Luke had never allowed any woman to get close to him.


    If the mother had borne Luke''s children, it meant that they had slept in bed


    Leia needed to know who her opponent was before she initiated her n. That way, she was sure to


    win.


    "Can you tell me how you made that guess?" Leia wanted more concrete evidence. That way, she


    could be at ease.


    Xavier did not want Leia to fail, and therefore he did not make up any excuses. "I really don''t know


    what happened between Luke and the children''s mother. After all, no one knows the true identity of the


    mother, other than Luke," he said truthfully.


    Leia nodded seriously.


    "You should know that Old Master Crawford wants an heir, even if Luke has no desire to sleep with


    women. If someone is willing to give birth to Old Master Crawford''s great-grandchildren, it shouldn''t


    take much for the family to ept them." What Xavier said was technically the truth.


    The only thing he omitted was that the children''s mother was Bianca.


    Leia seemed dejected when she heard that. "I wonder how did Luke manage to convince the mother of


    the children to leave them behind." "Money ought to do the trick." Xavier could see Leia''s worries.


    That was indeed the truth. Back then, Luke and Bianca''s rtionship was indeed mary.


    Leia smiled a little when she heard that.


    From Xavier''s words, she could tell that Luke was distant, aloof, and was not concerned with


    rtionships. He would rather take care of his business than women.


    He was a worthy challenge!


    She would prevail!


    She wanted Luke’s world to revolve around her!


    Leia stole a nce at Xavier, then recalled the time in the small town when Luke shared a drink with


    Bianca, Xavier''s wife...


    The rush hour traffic in the city center had not subsided yet.


    Jason drove the car steadily on the road.


    After about half an hour, Luke and his family arrived at the apartment.


    After sending the boss to the front lobby, Jason drove the car away.


    Before they got into the elevator, Luke said, "I''ve already handed the case to Walter. I know that you''ve


    reviewed the security footage before your father passed away."


    Bianca was taken aback, though she eventually figured out what he was saying.


    She was still suffering the after-effects of hypoglycemia.


    "If theye and look for you, you can call me any time." Luke was worried that Bianca''s life would be


    disturbed.


    Bianca kneaded her hands, looked at him, and said gently, "Thank you."


    They did not say anything after that. When the elevator arrived, Luke hugged Bianca''s waist, and they


    stepped inside.


    Everyone was silent when the elevator went up.


    At the door, Rainie seemed to have suddenly remembered something. She turned to speak to Bianca,


    "You have to remember our house number, Mommy. It''s 3369. How about I write it on a piece of paper


    so that you can put it in your handbag? Don''t get lost again. Big Bro and I will be worried."


    Perhaps Rainie had seen in a video somewhere that elderly people would carry a slip of paper or a tag


    with their address on them so that they would not forget where they lived.


    Bianca looked at Rainie while thetter spoke. She could feel a twinge in her nose.


    ''Again?


    ''Since when have I gotten lost?''


    Lanie seemed to have guessed what Bianca was thinking. He skipped into the house, but instead of


    changing into slippers, he took out Mommy''s slippers from the shoe rack and ced it in front of her.


    "Daddy said that you got lost, and that''s why you weren''t with us."


    Rainie nodded and clutched onto the hem of Bianca''s sweater.


    Bianca was speechless for a moment.


    After the family of four changed into slippers and stepped into the apartment, Bianca looked gratefully


    at Luke, who was walking toward the living room.


    Bianca was apprehensive about how she should exin to the children that she had abandoned them


    after giving birth to them.


    To the children, that was irreparable harm.


    No matter how she might exin it, the children would onlyprehend it as ''Mommy abandoned us."


    The first five years of a child''s life were very important, yet they had to go through it alone.


    She was wracked with guilt and helplessness, but she did not expect that Luke had given the children a


    seemingly usible excuse...

    When the children were older, they would fullyprehend why their mother had been absent.


    "Thank you," Bianca said when she saw that the man stood in front of her with no intention of moving


    away.


    "How are you going to thank me?" The man said with his hoarse and resonant voice. It was brimming


    with desire.
