Chapter 961 Drinks
Half an hour later, Luke presumed Bianca was asleep when he heard her breathing slow down. Hepicked up the phone on the bedside table and sent a message to Jason. [I want everything you can findon the CEO of the developer for St. Heckler on my table tomorrow morning.]
Jason was coaxing the twins to sleep. After he received Luke's text, he immediately replied: [Okay, Mr.Crawford.]
Kari was awakened by the notification. She opened her eyes in a daze and muttered, "Dad."
Jason put his phone away. He was a workaholic. Even if he was asleep, his phone would never be onsilent mode. That was so that he could attend to Luke's requests at the first instant.
He apologized. "I'm sorry, baby. Did it wake you up?"
Kari glanced at her sister who was sleeping next to her and found that Teri was still asleep. She shookher head and said, "No, Dad." "Baby, go back to sleep." Jason tucked her in, then gently rubbed herbelly and soothed her.
Kari smiled sweetly and closed her eyes. "Okay, good night, Dad." "Good night." For the past fewweeks, Jason would visit the twins every night. His relationship with Sue had eased a lot.
When Kari fell asleep, Jason tiptoed out of the bedroom and gently closed the door.
Sue was sitting in the living room applying a face mask. Her expression turned slightly cold when shesaw him.
She asked, "Kari and Teri are asleep?" "Yeah." Jason walked over and intended to sit next to her, buthe was afraid that she would be offended, so he sat on another single sofa.
Sue lifted the mask, threw it into the trash can, and patted her face again to promote the absorption ofthe essence.
Jason sighed in his heart and thought that Sue was cruel to him.
He asked, "Have you been in contact with the CEO of the developer for St. Heckler?" "I’ve talked to hissubordinates before but I don't have much contact with him. All I know is that his name is Steven andhe's not from around here." Sue had been caught up with work when Bianca was out of the office. Shewas not able to give the twins her full attention because of that.
That was when Jason appeared and took the initiative to take care of the twins.
No matter how she scolded him and how cold her glares were, he still silently cared for their children.
The nanny empathized with Jason and had talked to Sue privately. 'The twins need their father's love,you shouldn't separate them.”
Sue reflected on whether she had been too harsh on Jason. Her attitude gradually improved, and theywere able to exchange a few words.
Sue asked, "What's wrong?" "Mr. Crawford asked me to find out everything I can about him." Jasonhad started investigating.
Sue stopped patting her face and replied, "Why are you involved? Is it because of something thathappened tonight?”
Jason shook his head. He only did what he was told and never asked Luke questions.
Sue was puzzled and wanted to reach out to Bianca. She paused when she realized that Bianca waslikely asleep.
She was going to get ready for bed too.
Sue took a look at the time, cleared her throat, and said coldly, "It's late, it’s time for you to head back."novelbin
Jason was taken back. He sighed and said, "Sue..."
The tension with Sue had eased, but their relationship was merely like ordinary friends.
Her face was radiant after putting on the mask. She was more charming than she already was. Jasondid not want to be her friend; he wanted to be her husband, stay by her side, and watch Kari and Terigrow up as one family.
Before he finished speaking, Sue knew what he was thinking about and said sternly, "If you leave anylater, there might be a misunderstanding. My life is very peaceful now. I don’t want to be disturbed,especially by your ex- wife."
When she mentioned Bailey Quarrington, Jason frowned.
Bailey had never stopped harassing him. Whenever they had a conversation, the only thing she wouldtalk about was their reconciliation.
He had no intentions of doing so. His heart that once belonged to Bailey was now occupied with Sue.Bailey was stubborn and refused to stand down.
She thought that they had enough love between them to keep their relationship going.
Seeing that Jason had yet to take action, Sue stood up and opened the door. "I don't want to quarrelwith you. If you want to see the twins again, please leave."
She wanted a quiet and peaceful life. She just wanted the twins to grow up healthily.
Jason could not guarantee their safety, so Sue decided that she would be the one to protect herchildren.
Bailey loved Jason so much that she was on the brink of obsession. Sue was destined to suffer if shechose to pick a fight with a crazy woman.
It did not matter that she still had feelings for him or that this situation made her heart ache. Sue hadsworn never to ask him for help. She would be there for her daughters.
Jason sighed, stood up, and walked to the door. He looked at her and saw the stubbornness on herface. He raised his hand, trying to touch her face.
Sue dodged his approach.
Jason retracted his hand awkwardly and said, "Good night." "Okay." Sue waited for him to go out andclosed the door without any reluctance.
After Jason left, Sue leaned back against the door. Holding back her tears, she listened to the footstepsbehind the door getting farther and farther. She took some deep breaths before she stood up andwalked into her bedroom.
The next day.
At six o'clock in the evening, Bianca received a call from Luke.
"My love, are you done with work? I'm downstairs."
Bianca was stunned that he was here. In the past, Luke would let her know in advance if he came.Today was the only time that he did not do that. She immediately saved her documents and said, 'THpack up and meet you downstairs." "See you."
Bianca quickly cleaned up her desk and went downstairs. She saw the Land Rover parked right in frontof the entrance, and Luke was sitting in the car smoking a cigarette.
She opened the door of the passenger seat and went in. The tobacco smell woke her up.
"Luke, why did you come to pick me up today?" Bianca was curious.
Luke asked, "There’s a last-minute event that I have to attend. Can you accompany me there?"
Bianca nodded without hesitation. She took out her makeup bag so she could touch up her makeup onthe way there. "Okay, are we going there now?"
Luke gave her a peck on her red lips and said, "Let's have dinner first." "Are we going out for drinks?"Bianca asked.
Social events at night were usually for dinner and drinks. If they were going for dinner, then the eventlater would likely be for drinks.
"Yes, but you don’t need to drink if you don’t want to." Luke put out the cigarette and started the car.
The Land Rover drove like the wind on the road.
He picked a restaurant nearby. Luke took his time and even ordered a dessert for Bianca after theywere done with their mains.
Bianca did not question him. After all, drinks usually started late. It might be too early if they went therenow.
She took her time with the dessert. Luke was sitting next to her. He saw some cream on her lips, andhis heart was pumping hard as he asked, "Do you like it?" "It's decent, do you want to try some?"Bianca scooped some for Luke and wanted to feed him.
Luke held her hand and lowered his head, but instead of eating the dessert, he kissed Bianca andlicked the cream off her lips.
