Chapter 979 He Was Already Missing Her


    Luke was also reluctant to be separated from her for so many days. He hugged her tightly and said,


    "We''ll send the children back to Crawford Manor, and you cane along with me."


    Bianca knew that the children would be taken care of in Crawford Manor, but there were other reasons


    she could not leave.


    She leaned on his chest and said unhappily, "I have to attend to mypany. There''s St. Heckler''s


    new project, and Nina is in the hospital. I''ll have to take over her work."


    Luke stroked her hair gently, feeling a little sorry for her. She would not have been so busy if he had not


    supported her decision to start her ownpany.


    He could only ept that she was too busy with work to apany him on a business trip. "I''ll be


    back as soon as I can." "Mm," Bianca replied. She nced at the suitcase next to them and hugged


    him even more tightly.


    Luke held her arm and carefully examined it. The redness had dissipated, but the bruise became even


    more obvious. He led her out of the bedroom, took the first-aid kit, and sat on the couch in the living


    room. ’TH massage it for you." "Mm." Bianca gave him her hand.


    Luke ced her hand on hisp and took out a bottle of tincture.


    "Please be gentle...” Bianca reminded him.


    "Are you still afraid of pain?" Luke was not very happy when he looked at the bruise on Bianca''s wrist


    and wondered how strong Pierre''s grip was. He dared not be too rough with her, but Pierre...


    He thought that he had to do something.


    "I''m not, but I''m afraid I''ll wake the kids if I scream too loudly," Bianca said as she watched him pour


    some tincture onto his palm.


    "This''ll sting a little." After Luke warmed up his palms, he gripped onto Bianca''s wrist and massaged it.


    "I''ll have to press hard so that the bruise will fade."


    Bianca tried not to make a noise as Luke massaged her.


    "If it hurts, you can lean on me." Luke poured some tincture on her wrist.


    Bianca ced her head on Luke''s shoulder and pressed her lips together tightly.


    The bruise hurt whenever she lightly touched it, and it was even more painful when Luke massaged it.


    Bianca tried hard not to scream, and her forehead was wet with perspiration.


    "It''s getting warmer these days,” Bianca grumbled softly. Indeed, summer wasing.


    "Careful not to kick the nket if you''re turning on the air-conditioning. Don''t catch a cold," Luke said


    while massaging her.


    "I know. Do you think that I’m three years old? I won''t kick the nket." Bianca was distracted by those


    words and smiled.


    "You''ll kick the nket." Luke stopped massaging when he was done. He closed the bottle and put it


    back into the first-aid kit.


    "No, I won''t. I always behave in bed." Bianca stretched her wrist and felt a lot better. She thought that


    she never kicked the nket.


    "You always kick the nket, Bea," Luke said, hearing how confident she was.


    "Really?" Bianca asked doubtfully.


    "I always tuck you in." Luke''s hands smelled of the tincture. He was not going to touch her but instead


    went to the washroom.


    Bianca followed behind him. "Why don''t I know about it? Are you messing with me?" "I''m telling you the


    truth," Luke said as he pumped liquid soap on his hands. After washing his hands and drying them, he


    turned around, hugged her, and caressed her waist, which aroused her. "It''ste. Let''s rest."


    Bianca pushed him away as she felt every cell of her body awaken. "You haven''t taken a bath yet," she


    said, blushing.


    "I''ll do thatter." Luke brought her into the bedroom and closed the door. Thinking that he would spend


    the next week away from her, his body could not hold back anymore.


    As the night progressed, the gentle moonlight shone on the windowsill. The love between Bianca and


    Luke only grew stronger.


    Luke woke up before the sun rose. He went to brush his teeth and wash his face.


    Bianca did not sleep in. She got up and made breakfast for him.


    After breakfast, she sent Luke off at the door and watched his car leave. A long whileter, she turned


    her head back and nced at the clock. It was only half-past five.


    Bianca sighed gently. Whenever Luke went on his business trips, she would feel that he had taken


    away something.


    She sat on the couch in a daze before standing up. She would go to deliver the cross stitch to the


    Norman residence, then go to the hospital.


    The children woke up at seven o''clock.


    Lanie was the first one toe downstairs. He saw his mother preparing the table for breakfast and


    greeted her, "Good morning, Mommy." "Good morning, darling. Have you brushed your teeth?" Bianca


    turned her head and looked lovingly at her son.


    "Yes, I have, Mommy." Lanie looked around and did not see his father. ’ Where''s Daddy?"

    At home, Luke would either be working or be somewhere close to Bianca.


    Lanie thought that it was strange when he did not see his father.


    Bianca pulled a chair and replied, "He''s on a business trip. He should be boarding the ne by now.


    Come here and eat your breakfast."


    Lanie nodded. He was not too surprised because Luke often went off on business trips without


    informing anyone else.


    That happened all the time before Luke married Bianca. Sometimes, Lanie would wake up and not see


    his father. He would only know that his father went on a business trip when he asked other people.


    Bianca prepared Lanie''s favorite breakfast food. "Are Rainie and Tommy awake?" "Rainie is up. Tommy


    is still sleeping," Lanie replied. Luke had raised the two to wake up early, but Tommy had been spoiled.


    1 "I''ll go upstairs for a while. Careful not to choke on your food, darling." Bianca patted Lanie''s head,


    thinking that the boy looked more and more like his father.


    "Yes, Mommy," Lanie said before drinking his soy milk.


    Bianca went to Tommy''s bedroom upstairs and saw that Rainie was trying to get him to wake up.


    "Mommy, Tommy wants to sleep in," Rainie said helplessly.


    Usually, Luke was the one who woke Tommy up.


    Tommy was afraid of his father, so he dared not linger on the bed for too long.


    However, Rainie was only Tommy''s elder sister. Tommy was not afraid of her, so he did not get out of


    bed.


    "Mommy, get Daddy to wake Tommy up," Rainie suggested, thinking that her gentle mother would not


    be able to get Tommy out of bed either.


    "Daddy is on a business trip. Breakfast is ready, you should go downstairs and eat. I''ll bring Tommy


    down soon." Bianca patted Rainie''s head, thinking that she was a considerate little girl.


    Rainie nodded and went out of the bedroom.


    Bianca went in and gently removed the nket over Tommy''s head. "It''s gettingte, Tommy. You


    should get up." 1


    Tommy rolled over. He opened his eyes and quickly closed them. "I''m still sleepy, Mommy. I want to


    sleep a while more."


    Bianca felt a little helpless. Tommy would do that whenever Luke was not around because Bianca had


    spoiled him. She carried Tommy in her arms and said, "Good boys don''t sleep in, Tommy. We''re going


    to Grandma''s houseter. Let''s get up.”
