Chapter 547 Bianca, Who's Looking For Her Mother...
Soon, it was time to get off work.
Thinking that he had not taken Bianca out for dinner for a long time, Luke drove Bianca to a fancyrestaurant for dinner.
Shakira ran the restaurant, and the dining environment here was excellent. 1
The music from the melodious violin wafted through the entire space. The place overlooked the city'sscenic lake and one could admire the sight by the French windows. They also served a variety ofdelicacies.
As they were regular customers she was familiar with, Shakira served them personally.
She placed the last dish on the table and said happily, "Luke, what have you been up to all this time? Ihaven't seen you for a long time. I missed you."
Although Shakira got along well with Queenie, she did not have much contact with Allison. However,she was very fond of Luke. Plus, her husband was close with Zachary, so she was naturally moreattentive to Zachary's son.
Shakira had watched Luke grow up, so to speak, and sometimes, she was even more like his motherthan Allison.
As a result, sometimes Luke would rather talk to her than his mother when he was upset.novelbin
"I've been a little busy with work these days. That's why I haven't been coming here. I'll come herewhenever I have time. Maybe you'll get tired of me coming here every day," quipped Luke.
"You're so loquacious." Shakira's gaze then fell on Bianca.
Shakira raised an eyebrow when she saw Bianca's bare and pretty little face. "Luke, if I remembercorrectly, is this the girl you first introduced to me? Is she Bian... Bianca?"
Shakira had already found the girl strangely familiar last time.
She was young but did not have on even light makeup. Her standard heartshaped face was astranslucent as white opal. She had really good skin.
Her eyes were large and dark, and her lashes were long and dense. You could tell at first glance thatshe was an obedient and quiet girl.
Luke held Bianca's hand with a gentle look in his eyes. "Yes, this is Bianca, the woman I love themost."
Bianca blushed at his sudden confession. She looked at Shakira with embarrassment, said hello, andthen lowered her head again.
'A shy and self-conscious girl,' Shakira remarked to herself.
She had no idea how a girl with such a character could handle the forceful and overbearing Luke.
Her friend's son had always been arrogant, and she had expected that the woman to conquer himwould be a swift and fierce woman who was smooth and slick.
However, looking at the way her friend's son was in love, which was a far cry from his frosty behaviorwhen he was with Leia, Shakira knew he had fallen head over heels for the girl.
Shakira had learned a little through Queenie about the entanglement between these three youngpeople.
Leia had always had a crush on Luke, but the man was attached to a woman, and that woman wasBianca.
Later, Bianca and Luke went their separate ways after Bianca refused to marry him at theirengagement party.
Then, Leia got the chance to be Luke's fiancee.
However, after everything that had happened, Luke and Leia's engagement party was also ruined. Hegot back together with Bianca, but Leia tried to commit suicide.
Shakira had no idea what on earth had happened between them, but she was also present at thescene and could see at a glance that Luke did not love Leia at all.
Just like Queenie, she was not optimistic about Leia and Luke’s relationship from the start. However,Leia persisted, which led to the tragedy now.
Although Shakira's heart ached for Leia, she would rather see Luke happy. After all, she knew betterthan anyone how much the boy had suffered all these years.
With irresponsible parents like Zachary and Allison, Luke had been in great misery for most of his life.She did not want to see him follow the same path as his parents.
With a sigh, Shakira began to persuade Luke. "I know you won't let go easily once you set your mindon something or someone. I found her kind and good-hearted the first time I met her. I also believe youhave a good eye for people. You're not getting any younger, and you're old enough to get married now.Don't end up hurting others as well as yourself and do the girl wrong..."
Shakira glanced pointedly at Bianca's belly.
"When all this is over, I'll give Bea a big wedding. You must come," Luke took Bianca in his arms andsaid happily.
"Of course! Tell me in advance when you're getting married. I'll prepare a great gift for you. You twoshould have dinner first. I'll leave you alone." Grinning from ear to ear, Shakira spoke a little morebefore leaving.
After Shakira left, Luke's thin lips curved into a smile and he kissed Bianca on the cheek. "We're an oldcouple now. Why are you still so self- conscious?"
Bianca came back to her senses. Her little face blushed even more. "Do you think everyone's asshameless as you..."
The man's domineering and wet lips sucked on hers. It was tingly and ticklish, and she could not helpbut get lost in it.
Bianca was overwhelmed by his kissing skills that her cheeks got even redder.
Luke finally released her when she was almost breathless from his kiss. He gently touched her roundbelly. "Tell me, which month do you think will be suitable for our wedding?" "Let's wait until the baby isborn. I can't wear a wedding dress with such a big belly. A woman gets married only once in her life. Iwant to look beautiful on my wedding day." Speaking of the wedding, Bianca's face was full of longing.
Luke listened to her. "Okay, it's all up to you. But we'll pick a date in a few days and get our marriagelicense first. Then, you'll be the official Mrs. Crawford, and our baby will be born legitimately."
Bianca smiled and was about to agree, but the thought of Allison's strong opposition saddened her."Will your mother disapprove of us getting the marriage license? You know that she has always had astrong prejudice against me... She's always talking about her relationship with my father andemphasizing that she's my mother too."
Luke's eyes narrowed slightly, and his big palm rubbed her head. "Her words have no use. The DNAtest results are the most authoritative. We're not half-siblings, and with clever children like Lanie andRainie, no one can stop us from being together by using preposterous reasons that aren't true."
Bianca's eyes suddenly widened as if she thought of something. "I always wondered who my realmother was. My dad married your mom before, and they lived together for more than half a year. Dadalways thought that my birth mother was your mom, but it's someone else... As far as I can remember,my father only had two wives. One's your mom and the other's Jennifer. I clearly remember my dadtelling me your mom had suddenly disappeared for more than half a year after becoming pregnant withme, and he couldn't find her no matter what. Your mom suddenly reappeared after giving birth to meand handed me over to Dad. Then, she disappeared without a trace..."
Shakira, who had already left the private room, suddenly remembered that the restaurant had a newspecial dish. She went into the kitchen and came back with another fragrant dish, planning on lettingLuke and Bianca have a try.
However, she did not expect to hear such a thing just as she was about to knock on the door, and theplate fell from her hands...
