Chapter 445 (1) Luke Loves Me, And I Love Him
Leia came into the washroom.
Bianca nodded gently at Leia. "Ms. Norman."
Then, she walked toward the washbasin.
She squeezed some liquid soap onto her hands and noticed Leia''s exquisite but cold face in the mirror.
Leia might look gentle, and she wasughing, but Bianca felt unnerved.
Bianca knew that Leia was not as innocent as she looked.
She did not forget Leia''s provocation in the shopping mall and how Leia had tormented her during the
commercial shoot at T Corporation.
She also remembered how she was hurt by the berserk Persian cat at Blue Honors...
Even though all the evidence pointed to Leia''s assistant, Bianca was not so stupid to believe that. She
knew that Leia was the mastermind, but she did not call her out because of Leia''s elevated status.
If Leia was not going to speak, Bianca was not going to bother either.
However, she could see that Leia had something to say to her. "Is there anything, Ms. Norman?"
Bianca opened her mouth first.
Leia turned on the other tap and washed her hands. "You look fatter. Looks like you''ve been living the
good life!"
Bianca was not interested in small talk. "What do you want to say, Ms. Norman?" She said coldly.
Leia smirked. "You''re a smart one, but you''re boring! Are you sure that you''re going to marry Luke on
May 1st? Do you think you deserve him, Bianca Rayne? Your looks are mediocre, and youe from
an unremarkable family. There are so many better women in A City. I don''t know why Luke likes you.
Even I''m..."
Bianca interjected, "So what does that have to do with you? Luke loves me, and I love him. That is
enough."
Leia was taller than Bianca by half a head because she was wearing four- inch high heels.
She towered over Bianca as though she was superior. "You''re no match for Luke. I hope that you
realize that soon and leave him on your own ord."
Bianca nced at Leia impassively. She did not disy a hint of fear or cowardice.
Leia was bing flustered from how Bianca was looking at her. She took out a check from her
handbag and handed it to Bianca. "This is ten million dors. Leave Luke! I don''t think you can make
this sum of money on your own. Leave A City and somewhere else to live. Otherwise, I won''t go easy
on you!"
Bianca reached out and took the check...
She smiled calmly when she saw the figure on the check. "You''re so generous, Ms. Norman. I can
already buy a small mansion with this money."
Leia''s disdain grew.
''How could Luke like such a materialistic woman? Isn''t he disgusted?
''I should get Luke toe over and see the true colors of the woman he loves!1
However, what Bianca did next shocked her.
Bianca pinched the check with her fingers, then tore it into pieces, bit by bit. Then, under Leia''s wrathful
eye, threw it into a trash can.
"Luke and I are destined to marry, Ms. Norman. I hope that you can ept this fact, and I also hope
that you can let go of the things that can never belong to you. There''s no meaning in doing all this. I''ll
just treat it as though all this never happened. Bye."
Leia was furious at Bianca''s stubbornness.
The expression on her face changed several times. She was frustrated by how helpless she was.
Bianca wanted to pull open the washroom door, but Leia stubbornly stood in her way. "I don''t care what
you think, but I will definitely win the heart of any man that I have my eye on! I will not allow a lowly
woman like you toy a finger on the man I love!"
Biancaughed out of her anger. Leia had said that Luke was her man! Why was that woman so
shameless?
"Ms. Norman, you should know that Luke''s current girlfriend is me. Has he ever acknowledged your
presence? As far as I know, he has always ignored you. Not only that, but he has also rejected your
advances. Did you forget about that? Should I get Luke to tell you that personally?" "You... you..."
Leia was at a loss for a retort. Her chest was heaving from anger.
After calming down, Leia tried to use a gentle voice. "We''re both women, Bianca. You should know that
a woman''s heart is fragile. Luke is the only man I love. How about you let me have a go?
"There are so many fish in the sea, and Luke isn''t the only man in A City. Furthermore, there are so
many men who love you. Why would you miss the forest for the trees? I really love Luke. I think I''m
even getting depressed because of him... I know that you''re a kind-hearted woman. You wouldn''t want
to see me suffering from depression, right?"
Leia tried to evoke Bianca''s pity. She grabbed Bianca''s arm and did not let go.
Leia squeezed some sparkling tears into her eyes. "Please, if you can let me have Luke, I can satisfy
any of your wishes... Bianca, can''t you leave him and stop interfering in our rtionship?"
Bianca wanted to burst outughing.
She had seen her fair share of shameless people, but she had never seen one as shameless as Leia
Norman.
Can one trade rtionships just like that?
Moreover, Leia was the one who was interfering with Luke and Bianca''s rtionship. Leia made it
sound as though she was the victim!
No one else could twist the story like her!
Bianca coldly pushed Leia away. "I''m sorry, Ms. Norman. No matter what you say, I won''t let Luke go! If
you have time on May 1st, feel free toe and witness the ceremony!"
Seeing that Bianca was stubborn, Leia suddenly let out a burst of unnervingughter, which caused
goosebumps to break out on Bianca''s skin. "Bianca, I can guarantee that you will not be married to
Luke on May 1st. Do you want to bet on it?"
Under Leia''s unnerving gaze, Bianca walked away...
As they left the Norman residence, Bianca was obsessed by that thought. What did Leia mean? Why
did she say that they would not be married on May 1st?
As Luke drove the car, he noticed that Bianca was not in a good mood. He patted her head with his
right and said, "What''s wrong? Why do you look unhappier after leaving the Norman residence?"
Chapter 445 (2) Tell the World That You Are My Children''s Mother
Bianca looked at Luke as she remembered what he had said at the Norman residence earlier. She
hesitated for a while but asked anyway," You said that our wedding ceremony is on the 1st of May.
What is going on?"
Luke slowed down his driving by a little.
As the man swept his gaze at Bianca, he shed an indulgent smile. "I wanted to give you a surprise,
but I didn''t expect to announce it earlier. Bianca, I want to hold a grand wedding reception for you on
the 1st of May. I want to announce to the world that you are the mother of my children and the love of
my life." "Are... are we really going to be married on the 1st of May? This... this is a little too sudden."
Bianca was surprised by the sudden news, but at the same time, she found it hard to ept.
Luke''s grip on the steering wheel tightened a little. "Don''t you want to marry me?"
Bianca''s attitude made Luke think that she was hesitating, or that she did not want to marry him.
At that moment, he felt as though his heart that was burning with excitement was put out by a bucket of
cold water. That made him feel uneasy.
Bianca quickly exined, "No, I didn''t mean that. It''s just that the news is too sudden. I''m mentally
prepared that we will eventually marry, and I’ve even fantasized how the scene would look like. It''s just
that I didn''t expect it toe so soon..."
Their love was like a nt that had sprouted a long time ago. However, it had never been watered and
nurtured by love, and so ity dormant and was even close to wilting.
It was onlyter that they showered it with tender careter, which caused buds to form.
Now that their nt of love was going to bloom, Bianca was happier than anyone else.
Luke was relieved when he heard that. "You don''t have to think too much.
You only have to wait to be my bride."
He was not worried that Bianca would change her mind.
He knew that he loved Bianca deeply and how deeply Bianca loved him. He desired to bring Bianca
home as his legally wedded wife.
Bianca sighed, and her brows furrowed a little. "But your mother hasn''t epted my existence yet, and
my grandfather and aunt don''t know about the news..."
Luke looked at her with a smile and told her his n. "You don''t have to worry about my mother. I don''t
need her permission to marry anyone I want. We won''t be living with her after marriage, so she won''t
give you any trouble. As for your grandfather and aunt, I''ll pay a visit in the next few days. We should
send out the invitations soon, then we can prepare for the ceremony. Right, we should take our
wedding photos in April. The weather will be more suitable for a pregnant woman."
Bianca felt a twinge in her nose. The man seemed aloof and uncaring, but he had nned everything
without her knowledge.
However, she felt extremely uneasy when she thought of Leia''s warning, i
Bianca wanted to tell Luke that Leia had given her a check often million dors to leave him while she
was in the washroom. Looking at the man''s sculpted face, she did not manage to tell him the incident.
After all, Luke had already made it clear to the Normans that they would be married in May.
As socialites, the Normans cared about their reputation. No matter how much they wanted Luke to be
their son-inw, their pride would not allow Leia to step in between other people''s rtionships...
In the kitchen of the Norman residence.
Queenie was wearing an apron, washing vegetables and pork ribs.
Leia came in.
"Let me help, Mom," Leia enthusiastically helped her mother pick out vegetables, but she was frowning
when her mother did not see.
She looked at her perfectly manicured hands being smothered by the dirty vegetable leaves. Some dirt
got under her fingernails. Leia felt disgusted and wanted to throw it away, but she forced herself to
continue to help.
Queenie did not see the disgust in Leia''s eyes.
She felt sorry for her daughter when she saw Leia''s slender and delicate fingernails soaked in the
water-filled sink. ’You should go and keep your grandmapany, Leia. You look like you lost weight,
and you ought to eat more meat. I''ll be making pork rib stew today. Look at your hand. The injury hasn''t
healed, so how can you soak it in water? I understand that you care for me, but you should take care of
yourself too. You should go out. There''s a lot of smoke in the kitchen!" "I''m fine, Mom. My hand has
almost recovered. It''s not as delicate as you think. Washing vegetables isn''t difficult, but too bad that I
don''t know how to cook. If I can cook as well as you, I''d cook for you and Dad every day..." Leia
continued to pick the vegetables while speaking sweetly.
Queenie gave up on convincing her daughter. "You''re so stubborn. Oh well, just make sure that the
injury on your hand doesn''t worsen."
Bianca wanted to tell Luke that Leia had given her a check often million dors to leave him while she

Queenie gave up on convincing her daughter. ’You''re so stubborn. Oh well, just make sure that the
injury on your hand doesn''t worsen."
Leia nodded while saying dejectedly, "Mom, that Bianca Rayne is going to marry Luke on the 1st of
May. She''s so unremarkable, and I don''t think that she''s a good match for Luke. I don''t know why he
loves her. Tell me, Mom, am I not as good as Bianca?"
After Queenie took out the pork ribs from the boiling pot of water, she started to slice onions and ginger
deftly.
The usually noble woman seemed a lot more approachable when she was busy at work in the kitchen.
She spoke to Leia while her hands were busy. ''My daughter is an outstanding girl. You''re beautiful,
intelligent, ambitious, and kind. To me, you are the best. However, if Luke is destined to be with
someone else, there''s no use in trying to barge in. Luke doesn''t have any feelings for you, Leia. You
shouldn''t waste any more time on him.''’
Leia did not listen to all that. She was determined to marry Luke.
She looked at her mother, misty-eyes. "Mom, I really, really love Luke. I cannot lose him. Without him,
there is no meaning in my life. Now that he hasn''t married Bianca, I still stand a chance. After they''re
married, I will forever lose that chance... I know that you dote on me, Mom. Won''t you and Dad help
me?"
Chapter 445 (3) How Fascinating
Tears filled Leia''s eyes as she spoke.
She wept silently and had on a pitiful expression as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
She looked as helpless as a newborn.
In the past, she would y this card whenever she wanted to get her hands on something. Although
she had used this trick countless times, it was still useful toward Queenie. As long as she shed some
tears, her mother would always find a way to satisfy her no matter what she asked for.
However, this time, Queenie reacted by sighing heavily.
Queenie took out a tissue and wiped Leia''s tears lovingly as she said, "Leia, trust me, you won''t have a
fairytale ending with Luke. Besides, it''s immoral to snatch someone else''s boyfriend. You''ll live a long
life, and finding someone willing to spoil you silly is the most important thing. You might not understand
it now, but you’ll understand itter. My dear child, don’t think too much about it. I’ll cook you your
favorite dish..."
Leia''s mood immediately turned foul!
She did not expect that her go-to trick did not work. Her tears stopped.
Leia''s cold gaze was filled with resentment.
Queenie kept telling her how much she loved her, but she was unwilling to help her get a man that she
wanted so badly. Leia was upset and frustrated.
Queenie did not care about her happiness just because they were not rted by blood! i
At that moment, Leiapletely forgot the kindness that Queenie had shown her throughout the years.
Her dissatisfaction with Queenie has increased. She projected her anger toward Bianca on Queenie.
Leia imagined that the vegetable in front of her was Bianca, her deep-set eyes full of hatred.
She angrily tore the vegetables to pieces...
''Luke is mine, Bianca. No one can take him away from me!''
Queenie noticed that Leia was upset, then saw how "miserable" the vegetable looked...
She could not help but shake her head and shoved Leia out of the kitchen." I''ll cook, Leia. Go back to
your room and take a rest."
Leia was not bothered to continue pretending. She left on the pretext of going to her room to go
through her script.
Queenie looked at the torn-up vegetables in the basket and sighed. Leia was good at everything but
did not know how to cook. She was so pampered that she did not even know how to clean vegetables.
However, Queenie has only one baby girl in her life, so she was happy to spoil Leia.
After he got home, Luke went to work in the study while Bianca took a shower andid in bed to rest.
Although she was physically exhausted, she was not sleepy.
It was probably because she was so excited to get married on May 1st.
Bianca opened the messenger app, went on the group chat with Sue and Nina, and initiated a
conversation.
Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
She was not sure if they were online, but she sent a message: [Hello my beautiful friends! Ie
bearing good news. I’m getting married on May 1st:)]
Bianca''s message came as a surprise to Sue and Nina. The previously dead group chat was
bombarded with messages.
Sue was the first to reply: [Oh my! That soon? Bea, did the boss propose to you?]
Nina replied: [OMG! That''s wonderful! It’s a pity that I didn''t get to see our boss''s proposal in person.
Bea, when you get married, I must be a bridesmaid! I want to see you get happy with my own eyes!!!]
Before Bianca could finish typing her reply, Sue sent another message: [I''m guessing that it''s so soon
because something happened? Bea, tell us honestly, are you and the CEO expecting another child?]
Bianca was speechless.
Sue replied: [Do you have to be so candid?]
However, Bianca did not answer Sue''s question. Instead, she sent them a voice note. "Sue and Nina,
will you two be my bridesmaids when I get married?”
Sue sent an aggrieved emoji in the group before she replied with a voice note. "Bea, I will attend your
wedding, but is it inappropriate for me, a pregnant woman with a huge belly, to be a bridesmaid? Oh,
how shameful would it be when I can''t fit into the bridesmaid dress!"
Nina replied: [Hahaha, Sue, you can wear an extrarge dress. A few days ago, I saw a 200-pound girl
in church wearing a wedding dress for her wedding. Sue, you''re only a little over a hundred pounds."
The group chat had a joyful atmosphere.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Sue said: [Sorry my dears, I''m in the children''s clothing store
now, and I want to buy clothes for my future baby. I''ll talk to youter, bye! Bea,e to my ce if you
have time.]
Sue, who was in a well-known children''s clothing store, kept her phone in her pocket. She had a wide
smile on her face as if she was the person who was going to get married.
When they saw how happy she was, the sales clerks thought she was texting her husband.
Among them, a young sales clerk said enviously, ’Miss, are you texting your husband? How cute!"
Sue froze for a moment. She knew that they had misunderstood the situation, but she was not
bothered with exining.
She said bluntly, "Can you rmend some clothes for newborn babies? I want to buy two sets each
for boys and girls."
When she went for her checkup a few days ago, the doctor told her that she was pregnant with twins,
which made Sue overjoyed! Originally, she thought she would be happy enough to be pregnant with
one child, but she did not expect it to be two babies. She felt that this was the best gift that God had
given her and even forgot the trauma from the one-night stand.
"Okay!" The sales clerk immediately showed Sue various types of children''s clothing.
At that moment, Jason walked in.
The sales clerk was about to greet him, but when Jason saw Sue''s slightly bulging lower abdomen as
she picked children''s clothes, he waved to the sales clerks. The sales clerks immediately retreated
discreetly.
"How are you doing, Ms. Carter?" Jason said suddenly, startling Sue.
The clothing in her hand fell to the ground as she shouted, ''Mr. Doyle, you almost gave me a heart
attack! What are you doing here?" "Sorry that I startled you."
Jason looked at her innocently as he said, "Can''t Ie to the children''s clothing store for fun?"
He was a little surprised at Sue''s attitude toward him. Why did she react so strongly toward a normal
greeting from him?
However, he noticed that she had been acting meekly since she got pregnant, even though her body
got plump.
How fascinating.
He was not sure why, but when he looked at Sue, Jason''s thoughts returned to that night where he and
the mysterious woman made out in bed.
"What are you looking at?" Sue shielded herself and yelled in annoyance when she saw Jason staring
at her.
She had avoided all men since the day that she spent that night with that man.
Jasonughed out loud.
When she was furious, Sue''s expression was a lot more vivid. She looked nothing like her usual
conservative self in the office.
Sue was so annoyed by him that she was no longer in the mood to shop. She decided that she was
going to another children''s clothing store. Just when she was about to leave, a man and a woman
suddenly walked into the store.
The female looked inconspicuous. She was plump, and she was covered from top-to-bottom in luxury
brands. She looked like a mini mobile luxury store. Although the man that she held onto was tall, he
looked foppish and had eyeliner on. Anyone could tell that he was her boy toy.
The moment she saw the man''s face, Sue felt as if she was struck by lightning.
She stopped in her tracks in a daze, tears almost flowed out of her eyes...
Chapter 445 (4) She Is Bearing My Child!
Sue fell into a daze when she saw Hank Walker.
She never thought that she would see her ex-lover again.
The man for whom she had given her everything was smiling as he was apanied by the extremely
plump woman.
Sue felt sad, though sheughed at how ridiculous things got.
They had been together for five years.
It was a time when they depended on each other. Both of them grew up poor, with Hank''s family a little
worse off. When they were in high school, she worked several part-time jobs to support him and
covered all of their expenses.
Later, they were both admitted to college. In order to support Hank so he could continue his studies,
Sue even gave up a full schrship. That was just so she could get a job sooner to support him.
She paid for everything for three years, including Hank''s groceries, clothing, housing, and
transportation. He was moved and swore that he would marry Sue. However, when he graduated, he
broke up with her while holding another woman''s hand.
The woman was Jane Stewart, whose father was the chairperson of the Municipal Legal Committee.
That could speed up Hank''s career advancement and save him ten years.
Sue still remembered how cruel Hank looked when he mocked her and the woman''s contemptuous
eyes.
Sue had not seen Jane in years. Jane had gotten plumper and her face was so much chubbier. Sue
could barely see her eyes and her belly looked bloated. Sue was not sure if she was fat or pregnant.
Jane noticed Sue too. She held her head high and looked at Sue from head to toe. Jane said
mockingly, "Oh, isn''t this Ms. Carter? Are you pregnant? I didn''t expect that anyone would be interested
in you after you''re dumped by Hank. These are fairly expensive. Are you sure you can afford it? Do you
need a helping hand?" "Don’t worry about it, it''s just a few pieces of clothing, I can afford it. If Ms.
Stewart wants to do charity, you can consider donating money to an orphanage. The children need
your help." Sue said in a neutral tone.
Hank looked surprised when he saw Sue. The Sue that he remembered had bangs and looked nothing
like the Sue in front of him now.
In the past, Sue looked like a nerd.
Now, she has transformed into a white-cordy living in the big city. She was elegant, confident, and
trendy, at the forefront of fashion regardless of her hairstyle or dressing. Hank was pleasantly surprised
at her extraordinary demeanor!
Compared together, Sue was heaven and Jane was the earth.
Jane noticed Hank''s reaction and saw her husband staring at his ex-lover without blinking. She
became jealous.
She twisted Hank''s ear hard and screamed, "Are you having fun reminiscing the past? I''m your wife
and I''m standing here! Why are you staring at her?! Do you miss her?"
Hank yelled out in pain and coaxed Jane, ’It hurts... my love, please be gentle, don''t be angry,
remember that our son is in your belly..."
Jane hit and kicked him, but Hank dared not fight back at all.
She vented her anger until his ears were swollen. Hank then hugged Jane''s plump body.
Jane was so fat that Hank could only hug half of her body. He looked ridiculous.
Hank ignored the strange gazes of others and kissed Jane''s greasy face.
He coaxed Jane and said, "Wifey, you are my lucky star. You are the most beautiful woman in the
world. I only have eyes for you.”
Jane threw a tantrum and said arrogantly, "Hmph! I saw you staring at your ex-girlfriend!"
After she said that, Jane red at Sue.
She did not expect that Sue, who used to look like a bumpkin, would have transformed into a mature
lady in the span of several years. Jane was nervous; she did not want to lose her man to Sue.
Hank wanted to please Jane, so he belittled Sue in front of everyone, "Why would I look at her? In my
eyes, she is only a stranger. No, I think of her as a passing bird. She is nothingpared to you."
The wound in Sue''s heart had long scabbed, however, it was turned bloody again by his words!
She went through hell for him for three years without asking for anything in return. Did that mean
nothing to him? How dare he call her a passing bird?
Sue could no longer control her temper. She sarcastically said to Hank, "I ved for you, Hank. When
you were in college, I paid for your tuition, living expenses, and even your parents'' medical expenses,
and so on. I''ve worked hard for many years and neverined, but I did not expect that you would
be such an ingrate. After you graduated, you broke up with me and chose to be with this woman
because her father is chairperson of the Municipal Legal Committee and could get you a good job...
"Instead of being grateful, you called me a passing bird? Am I just an animal to you? What are you
then? I used to be blinded by love, and that was why I fell in love with a useless ingrate like you! I don''t
owe you anything, Hank. You should know that you''re the one who owes me something. Where is your
conscience? Careful that karma hits you on the way out! ’
Hank was red-faced when he heard Sue''s words.
They were in a public ce, and people generally looked down upon men who relied on women.
The sales clerks had contemptuous looks in their eyes. "I... I..." Hank stammered.
As he recalled how kind Sue was to him, Hank lowered his head shamefully and did not dare to look at
her.
Jane was unhappy. She pointed at Sue and cursed at her, "Why did you say that to my husband?
Who''s to me if he left you? Look at you here with a big belly and no one beside you. Have you been
sleeping around with other men, you pathetic wench?”
Sue could feel her head ache because of Jane. She wanted to p her so bad! Just when she was
about to do it, a mature male voice said domineeringly, "She is bearing my child!"
Immediately, Sue felt the warm embrace of a tall man...
