Chapter 399 Why Did He Bring Bianca Into His Room?


    Leia, immactely dressed, was ying bridge with Allison and two of her other friends.


    The caretaker brought Old Master Crawford and the twins to the nearby park, and Susan was back at


    her parents'' house.


    That was why Allison could gather her friends for a bridge session at Crawford Manor.


    "I win again!'' Allison seemed to be lucky that day. She won thest few rounds in a row.


    She was the one who wasughing the loudest in the living room.


    "You''re so lucky, Aunt Allison. You''ve won several rounds in a row. That''s amazing," Leia said.


    "I''m done for the day. I haven''t won a single round today." Mrs. Willow seemed unhappy.


    Allison grinned even wider when she heard Mrs. Willow''sints. "Leia is my lucky charm. I used to


    lose more than I win whenever I y, but when Leia is here, I have a winning streak!” "I say, Allison,


    Leia is always here to keep youpany whenever she''s free. I think she''s as close to you as a birth


    daughter. When is Luke going to propose to her?" Mrs. King asked as she shuffled the cards.


    Everyone in Allison''s social circle knew who Leia was.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    After all, Allison had boasted to her friends that the daughter of the Provincial Committee Secretary


    was in love with her son. She was very happy to see Leia bing her daughter-inw.


    Moreover, Leia was a true socialite. Not only she came from an illustrious family, but her demeanor was


    also noble and elegant. In the eyes of those noblewomen, she was sure to be Allison''s daughter-


    inw.


    Of course, with the proliferation of information, those noblewomen knew about Luke''s scandals from


    newspapers, magazines, and the Inte.


    ording to rumors, he had admitted that Bianca Rayne was the birth mother of his twins.


    However, those noblewomen did not agree that a peasant woman could marry into a wealthy family.


    Women like Bianca were more suited for one-night stands, or they could even be sugar babies. Only a


    socialite could be Mrs. Crawford.


    Leia held her breath when she heard Mrs. King''s question.


    She had spent a lot of money and time on Luke''s mother. She was not going to see it all go to waste.


    "It''ll be soon. My boy Luke is focusing on his career for now, and he doesn''t have the time to worry


    about rtionships. He''s not young anymore, and he’ll have to marry soon! I''ll talk to him after


    Thanksgiving, and thetest will probably be the end of next year...’ Allison said without hesitating.


    Leia was slightly disappointed she heard that she had to wait until the end of next year, but she soon


    managed tofort herself.


    She was still young. Waiting for another year was nothing.


    The man would not insist on marrying Bianca if the Crawford and Norman families pressured him.


    She felt a lot more relieved when she thought of that.


    Perking herself up, she continued the next game of bridge with thedies. She was smiling on the


    surface, but deep down inside, she was extremely irritated. She would not have yed that boring


    game with those olddies if not that she had to appease Allison!


    Halfway through a game, Luke and Bianca returned home.


    Bianca felt uneasy when she saw Leia in the living room.


    Luke furrowed his handsome brows when he saw his mother ying bridge with her friends.


    "Mother," he greeted Allison impassively. He did not greet the otherdies, nor did he cast a nce on


    Leia. Hugging Bianca''s waist, he brought her to his bedroom.


    Allison''s expression was horrid. Her gaze shed with disgust when she saw Bianca.


    Compared to the graceful Leia, Bianca was like an ugly duckling.


    The disdain in Allison''s eyes was evident while her friends prepared to watch the ensuing scene with


    glee.


    Allison’s son had ignored the daughter-inw prospect of her choice while pampering the woman she


    hated.


    Even though Bianca was dressed inly, her appearance was quite remarkable. The lines of her face


    were gentle, and she looked demure and elegant. Her skin was fine, like quality porcin. Her eyes


    were animated, and they sparkled whenever she smiled.


    She could be said to be even prettier than Leia.


    Leia was fraught with jealousy when she saw how Luke cared for Bianca, though she had to keep a


    magnanimous appearance.


    After Luke and Bianca went upstairs, Mrs. Willow said shrilly, ''Sigh! Young women nowadays can be


    indecent. How could she go into the man''s room when they aren''t married yet? I say, Allison, can''t you


    disciple your Luke a little? Men can do whatever they want outside, but when they''re at home... Tsk tsk,


    if my son were to do that, I''d break his legs!"


    Allison was already unhappy. Her face flushed with dissatisfaction and embarrassment when she heard


    Mrs. Willow''s words.


    "Sigh, I can''t control my adult son! Nevertheless, his grandfather will have thest say in his marriage.


    In my eyes, the only candidate for his wife is Leia and no other!’


    Allison wanted Leia to be Luke''s wife, but his son did not share the same sentiment.


    She was angry that Luke had a mind of his own and that she could not control him. On the other hand,


    she was frustrated that Leia did not manage to charm his son, as well as hated Bianca for seducing


    Luke to the point that he would not hesitate to go against his family''s wishes.


    The otherdies smiled when they heard Allison''s answer but said nothing.


    Every family had its problems. They were at Crawford Manor to find entertainment and not to meddle in


    their family business.


    The game continued, but Leia''s heart was not in it.


    She might have a sweet smile on her face, but she was perplexed by the fact that Luke had brought


    Bianca into his bedroom.


    ''Are they making love?''


    Leia was about to go mad with jealousy when she imagined droplets of sweat Luke''s strong and well-


    built body falling on Bianca!


    Bianca noticed an easel in Luke’s room. On it was a halfplete oil painting titled "Diana and Cupid."


    Diana, the Roman goddess, was extremely beautiful, and her bright red dress was eye-catching. She


    was ying with Cupid, who slung a golden bow on his back. It was a serene and exceptional scene


    that would cause people to gasp in awe...


    Bianca was curious when she saw the dried paints next to the easel. "Did you draw this, Luke? Did you


    draw all the paintings in your room?’ "Those are mere doodles when I''m idle. They''re nothing


    remarkable," Luke answered nonchntly.


    Bianca was in disbelief!


    ''This man knows oil painting too, and he''s so good at it! Oh my god, is there anything in this world that


    he doesn''t know?''
