Chapter 978 His Boss Is Very Protective of His Wife


    Old Master Rayne lost two straight games to Luke. He patted Lanie''s cheek and said, "But I''m better


    than your Great-Grandpa!" "Nonsense! I''m the one who taught Luke how to y chess. If you can''t


    beat him, then you''re not better than me!" Old Master Crawford was not willing to admit defeat. 1 "And


    the student surpasses the master. Luke is a better yer than you. If you don''t believe me, you can


    stay here for the night, and I''ll y you until you''re satisfied," Old Master Rayne said. He usually yed


    chess alone, and Old Master Crawford rekindled his interest.


    "Challenge epted. After dinner, I''ll show you who''s the better yer!" Old Master Crawford was


    determined to win.


    "Let''s eat," Luke reminded them.


    "Right, let''s have dinner. We shouldn''t let the children starve." Old Master Rayne pushed himself up


    with the help of the table and his walking stick.


    His physical condition had declined after the operation, and he could only walk with the help of a


    walking stick. Bianca came out of the kitchen and supported him.


    Old Master Rayne patted Bianca''s hand and said, "Good girl. I can walk by myself." "Let me help you,


    Grandpa." Bianca insisted on helping him walk to the dining table.


    The dining table was not big enough to amodate all the guests, so the children ate at the coffee


    table while the adults sat around the dining table.


    Seeing the happy family, Bianca told herself that she shoulde and visit her grandfather more often.


    After dinner, Old Master Crawford decided to stay the night to y chess with Old Master Rayne.


    Luke had no opinion about that. They lingered for a while more before leaving with Wanda''s cross-


    stitch.


    While in the car, Rainie asked, "Mommy, can Ie to visit Grand-Aunt Wanda more often?"


    Bianca turned her head to look at her daughter and said, "Of course. We''ll bring you to visit Aunt


    Wanda whenever we''re free." "Grand-Aunt Wanda''s handicrafts are so pretty. She said that she''ll teach


    me the next time I visit her," Rainie said sweetly.


    "Great-Grandpa Rayne''s also ys better chess than Great-Grandpa Crawford," Lanie added.


    Luke smiled when he heard that. "You''d better not let him hear you say that.


    Lanie immediately understood. "Yes, Daddy."


    Tommy opened his eyes wide. He did not understand what his father meant. "Why shouldn''t Great-


    Grandpa hearthat, Daddy?" "Because we have to respect our elders." Lanie gave a sensible reply.


    Bianca smiled when she heard the conversation between the boys but did not say anything. She sent a


    message to Queenie, saying that she would go over tomorrow to deliver the cross-stitch.


    The cross-stitch was about five feet long, and it was a reproduction of a ssic piece featuring


    galloping horses. That was suitable for Jack''s status and tastes.


    Luke''s phone started to ring.


    Bianca nced at it and saw that the call was from Jason. She knew that Jason was calling her


    husband about work-rted matters, and such conversations would usuallyst for a long time. She


    took out the Bluetooth headset, helped him put it on his ear, and answered the call.


    Luke smiled gently. He was pleased with Bianca’s care.


    Bianca turned around and ced her finger over her lips, indicating that the children should not disturb


    their father.


    The children nodded and kept quiet.


    From what Luke said, Bianca could tell that there was a problem with one of the subsidiaries. She


    frowned. Ever since Mavis left, Luke had beencking a capable assistant, and he had to personally


    attend to the matters of T Corporation''s subsidiaries.

    Luke was still talking when the car reached home.


    The children got out of the car. Bianca opened the boot and prepared to take out the cross-stitch.


    Luke came over, picked up the cross-stitch, and said, "Allow me."


    Bianca nodded and let him carry it.


    Jason was slightly startled. "Boss?" He asked.


    "Nothing. Continue," Luke replied. The five-foot-long cross-stitch was quite heavy, but he carried it


    without any fuss.


    Bianca walked beside him and entered the house. She pointed at the couch and said, "You can put it


    here for now. I''ll deliver it to Dad tomorrow."


    Queenie had replied to her message, saying that both of them would be at home tomorrow. Bianca


    would take the opportunity to spend some time with them.


    "Mm." Luke ced the cross-stitch on the couch.


    Jason could hear Bianca''s voice through the phone. Remembering that his boss was very protective of


    his wife, he paused for a while before asking," May I continue, Boss?" "Continue." Luke stood next to


    the floor-to-ceiling window and listened to Jason''s report.


    Bianca went upstairs with the children and coaxed them to take a bath and go to bed.


    An hourter, Tommy was thest one to fall asleep. She exited the bedroom, walked around the


    second floor, and noticed that Luke had note upstairs yet, so she went downstairs.


    Luke happened to have finished the call. He saw hering down the stairs, so he went over and


    hugged her. "Bea."


    He sounded quite helpless. Bianca lifted her head and looked at him. "Is it very troublesome?" "Yes,


    quite." Luke nodded. The scheduled project was dyed for no reason. Thepany would suffer a


    great loss if the dy continued.


    "Is there anything that I can help with?" Luke had always helped Bianca, and Bianca had always


    wanted to return the favor.


    Luke brushed the stray strands of long hair behind her ear. "I''ll be able to handle it myself. I''ll be going


    on a business trip tomorrow, so I can''t go to Mom’s ce."


    Bianca thought that the matter must be quite troublesome if Luke had to fly there himself. "I''ll go to


    Mom''s ce myself then. Where are you going this time, and for how long? I''ll go up and pack your


    suitcase now." "I''m going to New York. If everything goes well, I should be back in about a week," Luke


    said as he held her hand and went upstairs.


    They entered the bedroom. Bianca went to the closet and retrieved a suitcase.


    Luke frequently went on business trips, so the suitcase in the closet was almost always ready for


    immediate use.


    Bianca checked the weather forecast in New York for the uing week and packed a few more sets


    of clothes.


    "I''ll put your passport in your briefcase. It''ll be troublesome if it''s in your suitcase," she said.


    Luke felt warmth in his heart when he saw that Bianca was busy because of him. "Okay."


    Bianca took out Luke''s passport from the safe and ced it in his briefcase. "Is there anything else you


    need?" She asked.


    Luke did not say anything but hugged her tightly. "That''s all. Thank you, Bea.


    Bianca hugged him and ced her head on his muscr chest.


    Both of them were usually busy with their work, but they never forgot to spend time with each other


    every day. Now that Luke was about to leave for a week, she felt reluctant to let him go.


    Luke loosened his hug and kissed her when he saw that she did not speak. "What''s wrong?" "I''ll miss


    you if you have to leave for so many days," Bianca said truthfully. She did not hide her feelings for him.
