Chapter 1118 They Were Not Convinced by Her


    Bianca pouted unhappily. "I want to apany you... and Tommy." "Mommy, I''ll be fine with just Daddy


    here," Tommy said.


    Bianca bit her lip. Luke had been treating her more and more coldly, perhaps inadvertently influenced


    by the children.


    The caretaker brought Bianca''s shopping bags into the house and asked," Madam, should I bring these


    bags to your bedroom?"


    Bianca remembered that the other family members were not very happy whenever they saw her buy


    new clothes. She stood up and smiled at Luke and Tommy. ’ Alright, I''ll go back to my bedroom then.


    I''ve also bought some new clothes for you. After you''re done tutoring Tommy,e over and try them


    on, alright?" "Mm." Luke nodded, though his eyes remained transfixed on Tommy. When he saw


    Tommy make a spelling mistake, he patiently corrected him.


    Bianca was frustrated that Luke did not look at her at all, though she could not lose her temper in front


    of her husband and child. She smiled at the caretaker and said, "Follow me." "Yes, Madam." The


    caretaker nodded and followed behind her.


    Once out of Tommy''s bedroom, Bianca''s expression sank instantly. She walked to her bedroom and


    said to the caretaker brusquely, "Just put them here."


    The caretaker had been working in Crawford Manor for many years and was used to Bianca''s cold


    demeanor. She carefully ced the shopping bags on the couch, bowed politely, and left the bedroom.

    Bianca took the new clothes out of the packaging and tried them on one by one. She looked at her face


    in the mirror and was reminded of the woman she saw at the restaurant earlier.


    Luke seemed to have paid extra attention to that woman. In the two years that she was with Luke, it


    was the first time that another woman had evoked that reaction from him.


    Bianca clenched her new clothes uneasily, wondering if that woman had been sent here by Abel.


    She looked at herself in the mirror again. Her face was exactly like Bianca''s, and her amnesia was a


    good excuse.


    However, she somehow could not convince Luke and the children. She did not know where her mistake


    was.


    She thought that she had nothing to worry about because of her face, but she had noticed Luke''s


    reaction toward that woman, and that had made her flustered for the first time...


    Bianca touched her face again. She was experiencing a multitude of emotions.


    After Luke tutored Tommy, he pinched the little boy’s cheek and said," You''ve been naughty, Tommy."


    Tommy pretended to be confused. "I wasn''t, Daddy." "You shouldn''t find your homework difficult at all,"


    Luke called him out. He had been tutoring the children personally over the past two years, and he knew


    that Tommy should not find his homework challenging.


    Tommy stuck out his tongue and smiled. "I wanted you to spend more time with me, Daddy."


    Luke did not me Tommy. Before Bianca regained her memories, he wanted to take care of the


    children.


    No matter how Bianca tried to take care of the children, they would find her a stranger.


    "Don''t be like that next time," Luke said softly. He did not scold him.


    "Yes, Daddy,” Tommy said. He did not want Luke to have too many chances of being close with Bianca.


    That woman might have the same face as their mother, but he and his elder siblings firmly believed that


    she was not their mother.


    They did not find any familiarity in her.


    After leaving Tommy''s bedroom, Luke wanted to go to the study to continue with his work. However, he


    remembered what Bianca told her, so he went to their bedroom.


    Bianca was staring nkly at the mirror. He went over and stood by her side. "What are you thinking,


    Bea?"


    Bianca came to her senses. She turned her head and looked at him, feeling that he was keeping some


    distance from her.


    They might seem like a perfect match as they stood together, but she could not seem to get any closer


    to him no matter how hard she tried.


    The mercenary that delivered the antidote told her that Abel was not satisfied with her progress. If she


    could not win Luke''s heart, Abel had no reason to keep her alive.


    Bianca became very afraid. She looked away from the mirror, turned around, and looked lovingly at the


    man in front of her. "I''m thinking of the children." "What about them?" Luke noticed a stray lock of hair


    on her cheek. He wanted to reach out and sweep it away, but when he saw her cloying gaze, his hands


    remained firmly nted in his pockets.


    "Nothing." Bianca took his hand and led him to the couch. There were several unopened shopping


    bags. She opened them one by one and said," I''ve bought you some clothes for the next season. Try


    them on and see if they fit you."


    She handed the clothes over as though presenting a trophy. Luke took the clothes and nced at


    them. "They look nice."


    Bianca could see that Luke was half-hearted. "Don''t you want to try them on?" "You bought them


    ording to my measurements, right? I''m sure that they''ll fit me perfectly." Luke put the shirt away. He


    noticed that most of the new clothes on the couch were hers.


    Ever since Bianca lost her memories, her favorite activity was shopping.


    Seeing that Luke was not willing to try on the clothes, she did not force him. She remembered about


    Ivana and asked, "Right, Luke, do you remember that woman we saw at the restaurant earlier? You


    said that she''s a new employee of the pharmaceuticalpany, right?" "Mm." Luke nodded. He felt an


    uncontroble sensation when he remembered Ivana''s beautiful face.


    "She is beautiful." Bianca pretended to seem envious. She continued asking, "She has a strange


    name. Is she foreign? I didn''t think she''s foreign." "She''s from Russia," Luke exined.


    When Bianca heard that Ivana was from Russia, she thought that the woman was sent here by Abel.


    "So that''s how it is. Right, why do you know about that? Don''t tell me..." Bianca pretended to be


    jealous.


    "Don''t overthink it. These employees are vital to thepany''s development, and I interviewed them


    personally. The information is on her resume," Luke exined. He noted her jealous expression but did


    not pay too much attention to it.


    Bianca was satisfied that Luke took the effort to exin it to her. She hugged his waist and looked at


    him. "Will she be working in T Corporation?"


    She hoped that Ivana did not work in T Corporation. Luke would be able to see her more often.


    Luke knew what she was thinking. He shook his head and said, "No. The pharmaceuticalpany will


    have its own building. Other than reporting for duty at T Corporation, she would be working at the other


    building."


    The pharmaceuticalpany needed technical equipment for research, so he built a research


    laboratory elsewhere.


    Luke somehow felt happy when he was reminded that he would not meet Ivana often.
