    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    At noon, Bianca was worried that Luke would be so busy with work that he would forget to eat. She


    picked up her phone and ordered a takeaway for him before she went downstairs to have lunch with


    Sue.


    Bianca and Sue sat facing each other. Bianca stirred the tea in her cup with a smile and said, "Sue, do


    you know that Mr. Doyle ising back today?"


    Sue paused and wondered why Bianca was bringing up Jason out of the blue.


    "Ms. Rayne, can we not talk about him? It''ll ruin my appetite." Although Sue addressed Bianca as Ms.


    Rayne, her tone was casual and endearing.


    Bianca knew that she was lying. "Do you know about it?" "Yes," Sue replied. Jason had told her the


    moment he booked his flight.


    Seeing her pretending to be unaffected, Bianca took a sip of her tea and said, "Kari and Teri must miss


    him."


    Sue nodded and stayed silent.


    Some habits were easy to form but difficult to quit. Jason had spent a lot of time with their daughters


    before he left for the business trip. He was patient with them and told them stories before they fell


    asleep every night.


    When he was away on the business trip, Kari and Teri were not used to the stories that she read and


    often said that her skills were not as good as Jason''s.


    Sue was a little upset when they said that to her. She had read them the stories the same way Jason


    did, but it seemed like they favored their dad much more. ''I thought that daughters will be closer to their


    mothers?''


    Their repeated protests made her feel upset. They never disliked the stories she read before he


    appeared.


    "Sue, what''s the matter?" Bianca asked when she saw her nodding but not speaking.


    "The kids love Jason very much, so much so that they''ve been havingints about me as their


    mother." Sue was depressed and thought that she was not a good mother. She was trying her best to


    be one for them.


    It was not easy being a single mother. She was working hard to take care of her two daughters.


    Bianca said, "He''s the child''s father. Blood is thicker than water. Of course, they love him, but it doesn''t


    mean that your kids don''t love you." She knew that Kari and Teri were both sensible little girls.


    Sue sighed and said, "I don’t know how to say it. They make me feel like I’ve failed as a mother."


    Bianca made a suggestion. "Actually, it''s not difficult to get along with children. Why don’t you ask Mr.


    Doyle out this weekend and then take Kari and Teri to the carnival?"


    The best way to get along with children was to do what they liked. Bianca had done the same thing to


    get closer to Lanie and Rainie.


    However, she had it easier than others. Their family bond was strong.


    "I’ll bring the kids myself." Sue did not want Jason there so that the kids’ attention would not be divided.


    "Kids love spending time with their parents. You should ask Mr. Doyle to join you. The more the merrier,


    right?" Bianca said, "I haven''t seen Kari and Teri for a long time. We''ll be going to the carnival this


    weekend. Do you want to go together?" "Let’s talk about it next time. I have to work overtime this


    week." Sue was not a fan of Jason and used work as an excuse to turn Bianca down.


    Bianca knew that there was nothing more she could say to change Sue''s mind.


    Just then, her phone rang and Bianca saw that Luke was calling. She answered the phone. "Hey,


    Luke."


    Luke''s deep and sexy voice came from the other end of the call. "My love, did you order lunch for me?"


    "Who else do you think it would be?" The big smile on Bianca''s face made Sue, who was sitting across


    from her, envious.


    She did not long for love for herself, but she admired the beauty of true love.


    "There''s no one else, you''re the only one who knows what I like." Luke looked at the sumptuous bento


    on the table. When the phone rang just now, he thought that the other party had called the wrong


    number.


    However, after confirming the name, he realized that it was his takeaway.


    "I''m d that you like it. Fill up your tummy before you continue working." Bianca gently reminded him.


    After being together for so long, she knew exactly what he liked.


    "Okay, I love you." Luke''s voice was lingering and flirtatious, making her face slowly blush.


    After Bianca ended the call, she raised her hand and fanned her face.


    Sue teased her and said, "Ms. Rayne, you’re blushing."


    Bianca tried to exin, "The weather is getting warmer, and the air conditioners here don’t seem to be


    cold enough."


    Sue smiled and did not tease her further. After the two had lunch, they went back to work.


    In the evening, Luke picked Bianca from the office after work. They picked up nche and Rainie, then


    went home to pick up Tommy. Atst, the family arrived at Crawford Manor.


    Allison Tanner and Susan Armstrong were both in the living room. They sat as far away as they could


    from each other with looks of disdain.


    The children walked into the living room and greeted them both.


    Allison smiled and said, "My lovely grandchildren! You''re so politepared to some other children."


    She deliberately nced at Susan as if hinting to her that she was talking about Thea.


    Thea had no manners. When Louis was not around, she would never take the initiative to greet Allison


    when she saw her.


    Susan snorted and said, "Some kids sure can act. It''s pointless to act polite if they''re not sincere."


    Allison''s angry face was pale. ''How dare she suggest that Luke doesn''t care about her!''


    When she saw Luke walk in, she was visibly taken aback. "Luke, you''re back from the business trip?"


    "Yeah." Luke nced around but did not see Old Master Crawford. He asked the caretaker, "Where''s


    Grandpa?" "Old Master Crawford is in the study," the caretaker replied.


    After hearing this, Bianca said to the kids, My dears, go and say hello to Grandpa."


    The children ran to the study.


    "When did youe back?" Allison asked. She had run out of money the other day and nned to go


    to T Corporation to find him but was told that he was on a business trip in New York.


    Since she could not get any money from him, her only choice was to sell an antique that she stole from


    the manor.


    Before Luke could answer, Susanughed and said, "Are you that much of a failure as a mother? You


    don’t even know when your son came back?" "What nonsense are you talking about? Would Louis tell


    you the hotel room number when he meets women?" Allison refused to back down,pletely


    unaware that these were two things of different nature.


    Bianca stood next to Luke and watched the two women tear each other apart. She had a headache


    and was afraid that the two would go on.


    Hence, she quickly stepped in and said, "Allison, Luke came back early this morning. It was toote, so


    we didn’t inform you."


    Allison went along and said, "No wonder. I was asleep then. A woman''s beauty sleep is important, and


    my beautiful skin all depends on the beauty sleep I get."
