Chapter 195 A Faint Feminine Scent
After successfully raising a ruckus in the Tanner family, Allison went home.
Back at the hospital, Allison did not see Susan and Louis. Old Master Crawford was lying on the bedwhile Luke was sitting next to him.
She could see that her son was very concerned about his grandfather's condition.
Looking at the scene, she mouthed a silent prayer that Old Master Crawford would recover slower. Ifhis condition worsened, her son would have to stay by his side!
That way, the eldest grandson of the Old Master would not be able to leave for the small town! i
Otherwise, constrictive social norms would label him as an unfilial grandson!
Allison felt as though she was losing her humanity in her attempts to separate Bianca from her son.She had no other choice. If Luke married Bianca, her life would turn into a living hell. Bianca seemedlike her nemesis!
The caretaker in charge of Old Master Crawford's diet arrived to deliver lunch.
Allison took out the lunch boxes from the bag.
"Father, Aunt Jemma made all your favorite food. It's also good for your health."
As Allison spoke, she sat down and spoon-fed Old Master Crawford.
Old Master Crawford might be ill, but he had an appetite.
After feeding him for a while, she found the appropriate time to speak," There is something that I haveto tell you, Father."
Old Master Crawford did not say anything, implying that she should continue.
Allison did not look at her son and continued speaking, "Earlier, my elder brother asked me to go to hishouse because he had something to tell me. Over there, I've heard that Bianca... is already pregnantwith Xavier's child."
As expected, Old Master Crawford's expression froze when he heard that.
If Bianca loved his grandson and not the Tanner kid, then she should have saved her virginity for hisgrandson!
If the Tanner kid had forced himself upon her, he would sue him in court!
If she had secretly borne a child for the Tanners, that was being unfaithful to Luke!
Old Master Crawford did not expect that.
"There's no such thing." Luke looked sinisterly at his mother on the other side of the bed, thenexplained to his grandfather, "That was a lie that Xavier made up to appease my uncle."
Allison did not expect the truth to be like that...
She once again felt nervous...
The tension between mother and son reached a peak. In a lapse of concentration, she nearly droppedthe spoon in her hand.
In the small town.novelbin
Bianca did not cook. She prepared and cut the ingredients and also bought cutlery, cookware, andother kitchen utensils.
She did every other chore except for cooking.
The young colleagues got to know each other better as they chatted while eating.
At the end of the meal, they also drank some beer.
Bianca did not have a high tolerance for alcohol and only drank a glass.
After cleaning up, Joe said excitedly. "The air in the town is so fresh. I can't wait to see what the placewould look like after development."
There was nothing attractive about the town except for the scenery around it.
They had to live in the town for a period so that they could personally experience its beauty and cultureand draft a perfect project proposal.
Bianca was doing the dishes in the kitchen.
At that moment, a car drove over.
Everyone turned to look at it, but Bianca could not see it from where she was.
A Porsche Cayenne drove toward the two-story compound and parked in front of it. A person eachstepped out of the driver seat and the passenger seat.
The person who got out from the passenger seat said, "This is the place. I'll be going home!"
Xavier took out several dollar bills from his wallet and handed them to the person.
The town folk took the money and happily jogged away.
It was public knowledge since a few years ago that the town was to be developed.
Now that the development company sent a team over, it was major news to the people living there.Everyone knew about their presence.
Xavier did not know where Bianca was exactly, and she did not answer his calls or reply to hismessages. He asked around in town, and someone brought him there.
The T Corporation workers sitting in the courtyard did not know who Xavier was, but they actedcautiously when they saw how he dressed and the car he drove, worried that he might be from thehigher management conducting a spot check.
"Anyone here can tell me where Bianca Rayne is?" Xavier's words and mannerisms made everyonethink that he was like a hooligan.
Someone pointed toward the kitchen.
Xavier turned to look in that direction and started walking there.
Bianca was washing several cups under the tap. The flowing water made a lot of noise.
While she fixed her gaze upon the splashing water, a pair of arms abruptly hugged her from behind.
In the courtyard, Joe looked at the scene in the kitchen with surprise.
The sink directly faced the kitchen entrance, so everyone outside could see what was happeninginside. However, a person standing at the sink could not see what was happening outside.
"Isn't she... with the boss..." Joe looked away embarrassedly and asked a colleague from the designdepartment.
Bianca was from the design department, and Joe thought that the people from the design departmentwould know more about Bianca.
The colleague from the design department was equally as confused. As she guessed who the personhugging Bianca might be, she took out her phone and gossiped to her colleagues in A City.
In the kitchen, Bianca dropped the pot in her hands and took several steps away. She regardedXavier's sudden presence in the kitchen with fear.
"Should a wife act like that when her husband hugs her?" Xavier was not angry; he did not like Biancaanyway. However, he could smell the faint feminine scent that Bianca left on her body.
He thought that it smelled quite nice.
Meanwhile, outside the courtyard, the colleague received a voice message from A City. "Bianca doesn'thave any relationship with the boss. Yvonne already told us when she came to work today, saying thatBianca is the boss's uncle's son's wife. It's a long way. In any case, the boss is concerned about Biancabecause they're relatives. Also, I've heard that Bianca is pregnant, and that's why the boss is soconcerned," The colleague said as she was getting off work.
Sue, who was planning to stay behind and work overtime, turned to look at the colleague who had sentthe voice message.
Soon, the colleague replied again, "Who else could have hugged Bianca's waist in front of everyone, ifnot for her husband? Give them some private space!"
Sue opened Jason's chat window and sent him a text message.
[What's going on? I've heard that the Xavier guy is in the town and making a move on Bianca. Does theboss know about this?]
