Chapter 519 He Was the Reason She Persevered
Luke was surprised when Old Master Crawford and Allison arrived at the mansion at the height of theiranger, but it was not totally out of his expectations.
He frowned. ' Mother, Grandfather, why are you here?"
Old Master Crawford's expression was sullen!
He walked in front with the help of his walking stick. Behind him was Allison and several bodyguardsdressed in black.
When he saw Bianca standing in front of the couch, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
He knocked his walking stick on the floor heavily and asked his grandson with an unpleasant tone."Why isn't that woman gone? Why are you still together with her?"
His angry gaze wavered when he noticed the slight bulge in Bianca's stomach.
The atmosphere in the living room was tense and stifling. No one made a sound.
Bianca lowered her head, averting Old Master Crawford and Allison's disdainful gazes. She did notdare to greet the guests.novelbin
Luke did not answer his grandfather's questions. He walked up to help Old Master Crawford to thecouch.
Unexpectedly, the old man shoved his grandson away. Allison helped him sit down.
After he sat down, Old Master Crawford pointed one end of his walking stick at the grandson he hadalways been proud of. "If Jack and his wife hadn't paid a visit earlier today, I wouldn't have expected
that you do something as shameful as this, you b*stard! You've promised that you would cut all ties withthat woman and marry Ms. Norman, so how do you explain her presence here?" He said furiously.
Luke stared into Old Master Crawford's eyes confidently. "Grandfather, Bianca is still bearing my child,and she had suffered a serious car accident not long ago. It's my responsibility and duty to take care ofher. I don't think you want anything bad to happen to your unborn greatgrandchild, right? Who told youabout this place?"
There were two reasons why he bought this mansion. The first was that the environment was ideal fora pregnant woman to relax, and the second was that the security measures were top-notch.
He completed the purchase alone. Not even Jason, his assistant, knew about the place.
He was surprised that his grandfather managed to find the place.
Who gave away the secret, or was someone snooping on them?
Luke's eyes narrowed unpleasantly when he realized that his privacy had been exposed.
No matter who they might be, he would not forgive them!
"It doesn't matter who told me about it. Why would you have anything to hide if you hadn't doneanything wrong? I say, you've been utterly bewitched by that woman. You don't know what's importantfor you!" Old Master Crawford glared at Bianca as he said that.
He became angrier when he saw her head lowered.
At first, he had a positive impression of that pure-looking girl. He did not expect that the girl wouldcause them so much trouble!
Eventually, Bianca had exhausted all the goodwill Old Master Crawford had for her.
Originally, Bianca was with Luke, but somehow, she got a marriage certificate with Xavier, and OldMaster Crawford's grandson had somehow become the third wheel in somebody else's marriage.
It was eventually proven that she was forced to marry Xavier under coercion, and she had eventuallydivorced Xavier, but from a legal standpoint, she was already considered a divorcee.
Marrying a divorcee was not good for their reputation, but Luke insisted on marrying Bianca, and OldMaster Crawford had no other choice but to comply with his grandson's wishes, i
Everything was going swimmingly until the woman rejected Luke's proposal at the engagementceremony. She had humiliated the Crawford family in front of the media.
Old Master Crawford had enough of that woman. He would not let Luke marry her no matter what!
Allison also tried to persuade Luke. "Listen to your grandfather and mother, Luke. Quickly break off allties with that woman and don't ever contact her again. The Norman family said that they don't want anytrouble at the engagement ceremony tomorrow. They want you to break up with her now, and she hasto leave A City!"
Bianca looked at Luke, trying to keep as calm as possible. She was afraid that he might listen to hisfamily and send her away to a foreign city.
She was not afraid of anything other than not being able to see him. 1
Luke was her ray of hope, and she had stubbornly clung to it.
The twins heard the commotion in the living room. They got out of bed and ran down the stairs,dressed in cute cartoon print pajamas.
They were about to greet their great-grandfather and grandmother happily when Allison started to scoldthem. "I say, I was wondering why the two kids aren't at home. You told me that you found a renowned
professor to help with their studies. I said that you should bring the professor back home, but you saidthat the professor is eccentric and doesn't want to be a private tutor. Turns out that they're here! You'vedone a fine job of lying to your own mother, Luke!"
The twins were confused.
When they saw how scary their grandmother had become, they stopped walking and clung to thebanister carved with floral patterns.
They knew that their grandmother was in a bad mood whenever she wore that expression. If they wentclose to her at this time, they would definitely be spanked.
Old Master Crawford glanced at Allison unhappily, warning her not to go overboard.
After all, his treasured great-grandchildren were there. He did not want to traumatize them.
Old Master Crawford tried to keep his temper down. "Tell that woman to leave. We'll talk," hecommanded.
Bianca did not want to remain in the living room. The atmosphere was too tense.
She pushed herself up with her crutches. Before she could walk away, Luke carried her in a bridal carryand walked toward the bedroom.
Allison was livid when she saw the scene. She gritted her teeth until her gums hurt.
The woman was almost a cripple, but her son still loved her so much. Was he doing that on purpose?
Luke brought her into the bedroom and kissed her forehead. "Be a good girl and rest here. I'll comeback soon. Don't worry, leave everything to me."
After that, he turned around to speak to the twins who followed him in." Stay with Mommy. Let me knowif you need anything."
The children promised to be good, and Luke went downstairs.
In the living room, Luke sat opposite Old Master Crawford with a tired expression on his face. "Is thereanything else, Grandfather? Let's settle everything at once."
Old Master Crawford sized up his grandson with a sullen gaze. "You'd better proceed with theengagement ceremony with Ms. Norman tomorrow. That Bianca woman can't remain in A City. She willhave to leave tonight. If you can't bear to do it yourself, then let me do it. I'd rather not force it on you,but if I have to do it, the results won't be as nice."
Luke's icy gaze became sharp all of a sudden. "If you put it that way, then I'm sorry to say that I'll haveto cancel the engagement ceremony with Ms. Norman tomorrow!" i
