Chapter 243 Two Considerate Children
Leia stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon. She lifted her head and asked conservatively, "BrotherXavier, what I'm most concerned about are his two children. Where did he get them?"
Xavier was surprised.
Brother Xavier?
That title was too saccharine-sweet.
As far as he remembered, the last time Leia called him "Brother Xavier" was when she had recentlystepped out of the orphanage and into elite society. She gave everyone appellations such as "Brother"or "Sister."
As her social status climbed, she found herself to be equals with Xavier and stopped calling him"Brother."
Of course, she could be equals with Xavier because she was Jack Norman and Queenie Zeigler'sdaughter. In fact, as a Norman, she was of a higher status.
Xavier had never considered Leia to be part of his plan in trying to separate Bianca from Luke.
However, Xavier quickly thought of something. "To be frank, I don't know where the two children camefrom, even though my family occasionally talks about it. I can guess that Luke doesn't have a closerelationship with the children's mother."
That was what Leia wanted to hear!
She hoped that Luke did not have any relationship with the children's mother at all!
As far as she knew, Luke had never allowed any woman to get close to him.
If the mother had borne Luke's children, it meant that they had slept in bed
Leia needed to know who her opponent was before she initiated her plan. That way, she was sure towin.
"Can you tell me how you made that guess?" Leia wanted more concrete evidence. That way, shecould be at ease.
Xavier did not want Leia to fail, and therefore he did not make up any excuses. "I really don't knowwhat happened between Luke and the children's mother. After all, no one knows the true identity of themother, other than Luke," he said truthfully.
Leia nodded seriously.
"You should know that Old Master Crawford wants an heir, even if Luke has no desire to sleep withwomen. If someone is willing to give birth to Old Master Crawford's great-grandchildren, it shouldn'ttake much for the family to accept them." What Xavier said was technically the truth.
The only thing he omitted was that the children's mother was Bianca.
Leia seemed dejected when she heard that. "I wonder how did Luke manage to convince the mother ofthe children to leave them behind." "Money ought to do the trick." Xavier could see Leia's worries.
That was indeed the truth. Back then, Luke and Bianca's relationship was indeed monetary.
Leia smiled a little when she heard that.
From Xavier's words, she could tell that Luke was distant, aloof, and was not concerned withrelationships. He would rather take care of his business than women.
He was a worthy challenge!
She would prevail!
She wanted Luke’s world to revolve around her!
Leia stole a glance at Xavier, then recalled the time in the small town when Luke shared a drink withBianca, Xavier's wife...
The rush hour traffic in the city center had not subsided yet.
Jason drove the car steadily on the road.
After about half an hour, Luke and his family arrived at the apartment.
After sending the boss to the front lobby, Jason drove the car away.
Before they got into the elevator, Luke said, "I've already handed the case to Walter. I know that you'vereviewed the security footage before your father passed away."
Bianca was taken aback, though she eventually figured out what he was saying.
She was still suffering the after-effects of hypoglycemia.
"If they come and look for you, you can call me any time." Luke was worried that Bianca's life would bedisturbed.
Bianca kneaded her hands, looked at him, and said gently, "Thank you."
They did not say anything after that. When the elevator arrived, Luke hugged Bianca's waist, and theystepped inside.
Everyone was silent when the elevator went up.
At the door, Rainie seemed to have suddenly remembered something. She turned to speak to Bianca,"You have to remember our house number, Mommy. It's 3369. How about I write it on a piece of paperso that you can put it in your handbag? Don't get lost again. Big Bro and I will be worried."
Perhaps Rainie had seen in a video somewhere that elderly people would carry a slip of paper or a tagwith their address on them so that they would not forget where they lived.
Bianca looked at Rainie while the latter spoke. She could feel a twinge in her nose.
'Again?
'Since when have I gotten lost?'
Lanie seemed to have guessed what Bianca was thinking. He skipped into the house, but instead ofchanging into slippers, he took out Mommy's slippers from the shoe rack and placed it in front of her."Daddy said that you got lost, and that's why you weren't with us."
Rainie nodded and clutched onto the hem of Bianca's sweater.
Bianca was speechless for a moment.novelbin
After the family of four changed into slippers and stepped into the apartment, Bianca looked gratefullyat Luke, who was walking toward the living room.
Bianca was apprehensive about how she should explain to the children that she had abandoned themafter giving birth to them.
To the children, that was irreparable harm.
No matter how she might explain it, the children would only comprehend it as 'Mommy abandoned us."
The first five years of a child's life were very important, yet they had to go through it alone.
She was wracked with guilt and helplessness, but she did not expect that Luke had given the children aseemingly plausible excuse...
When the children were older, they would fully comprehend why their mother had been absent.
"Thank you," Bianca said when she saw that the man stood in front of her with no intention of movingaway.
"How are you going to thank me?" The man said with his hoarse and resonant voice. It was brimmingwith desire.
