Chapter 975 Reflect Upon Her Mistakes
Bianca and Sue ran back to the car and locked the door. They breathed a sigh of relief when theynoticed that Pierre had no intention of chasing after them.
"Start the car, Sue," she urged.
Sue came to her senses. She was shocked when she saw that man drag Bianca toward the middle ofthe road. Throwing the ice packs at that man was pure instinct.
Seeing that the man was still looking at them, she started the car and quickly drove away.
After they were some distance away, Sue asked, "Who is that man, Bea?" "Percy Mallory's youngerbrother," Bianca answered as she rubbed her reddish wrist. It would definitely leave a bruise, and shewondered how she would explain it to Luke.
Sue nodded and said nothing.
The Mallory family was famous in A City, though they were not similar to the Crawford family.
The Mallory's family business was famous, but not as famous as their underworld dealings.
Sue felt worried for Bianca. Fortunately, Bianca had Luke behind her. Otherwise, she would have paida heavy price for offending someone from the Mallory family.novelbin
After work, Bianca picked up Lanie and Rainie from school, went home to pick Tommy up, then waitedfor Luke at the entrance of T Corporation.
Luke appeared at the entrance with his briefcase, and Bianca let him sit on the driver's seat.
"Good afternoon, Daddy," the three children greeted him as soon as he stepped into the car.
"Good afternoon!" Luke turned around and patted each of the children's heads. Then, he looked atBianca, held her hand, and prepared to kiss her cheek.
"Hiss!" Bianca gasped. Luke had held the wrist that Pierre had squeezed.
Luke lowered his head and noticed that there was a ring of redness around Bianca's wrist. "Whathappened?" he asked.
Bianca shook her head. "Nothing." "Bea..." Luke voiced his dissatisfaction in front of their children. Hewas not so easily deceived.
Tommy added, "Daddy, Mommy said that she bumped into the wall earlier. She also reminded me that Ishouldn't be so careless like her so I won't get hurt."
Luke was not going to be so easily convinced as Tommy. If she had bumped into the wall, why wouldthe bruise go around her wrist?
"Is that so?" He asked.
With no other choice, Bianca sighed and told him everything. She also said that she had acted out ofimpulse.
After the incident, she realized that she should not have done that.
Not only was it dangerous, but she should not have slapped Percy Mallory's younger brother.
After all, Percy had helped Luke before. Without Percy's help, Luke would not have been free from theIsland of Despair so easily.
However, she had thought of Nina's situation...
Luke started the car without saying anything.
"Luke..." Bianca noticed that his expression was sullen and wondered if she should continue toapologize.
She did not expect that Luke and Percy would stop being friends, but she had nevertheless steppedout of line.
"We'll talk after we reach Grandpa's house," Luke said.
"Mm." Bianca sat straight, fastened her seatbelt, and glanced at the children in the rearview mirror.They were chatting and laughing earlier, but they had fallen silent, perhaps because they wereinfluenced by the change in Luke's demeanor.
That made her regret it even more.
Luke went to buy some health supplements for Old Master Rayne and Wanda, then drove the car toOld Master Rayne's house.
After parking the car, the family of five got out.
Tommy was the first to point at the Rolls-Royce. "That's Great-Grandpa's car."
Luke nodded. Bianca wanted to say something but decided to keep her mouth shut because shesensed her husband's resentment. She took the two boxes of supplements and went upstairs.
Luke's gaze turned profound as he looked at Bianca's back.
Rainie noticed that. She tugged Luke’s shirt and said, "Daddy, please don't be angry at Mommy."
Luke patted Rainie's head. He knew that the children were sensitive toward their emotions. He was notangry with Bianca, but some things should not be mentioned in front of the children. "I'm not angry.""Mm." Rainie picked up a box of supplements.
Luke took the rest of the supplements and went upstairs with the children.
When they entered the house, they saw Old Master Rayne in a game of chess with Old MasterCrawford. The two old men were laughing happily.
"Watch out. Check!" Old Master Crawford moved a chess piece.
Old Master Rayne shook his head and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? Watch this!" "Ah!" Old MasterCrawford realized that he had fallen into a trap.
"Dad, Old Master Crawford, Luke and Bianca are here," Wanda reminded the two old men, seeing thatthey were engrossed in their game.
Old Master Crawford said, "My precious great-grandchildren are here. Let's end the game here."
Old Master Rayne put the chess pieces away and said, "Fine. You're losing anyway!"
Tommy ran over happily. "Great-Grandpa! I want to play too!"
He raised his head and smiled at the two old men.
The two old men could not help but to rub the little boy’s face. "Sure!" They said.
Luke and Bianca walked over, put the boxes of supplements down, and greeted them, "Grandpa,Grandpa."
The same greeting was used for both of the old men.
Rainie and Lanie greeted their great-grandfathers too.
"Good boy, good girl." Old Master Rayne and Old Master Crawford were satisfied.
While handing a box of supplements to her grandfather, Bianca turned her head and shot a glance atLuke. She noticed that there was some warmth on his face, but she knew that it was not because ofher. Instantly, she felt some bitterness in her heart.
She tried to keep those negative emotions down and forced a smile on her face. "Luke bought this foryou, Grandpa. It's good for your hypertension."
Old Master Rayne was very happy to receive gifts from his grandchildren." Ah, you shouldn't havebought anything for me. I've been taking my regular medication, and my hypertension has been incontrol."
Old Master Crawford did not feel jealous because Luke had always bought him presents. "Eh, just takeit. You shouldn't disappoint them. These supplements are very good for you. You ought to take care ofyour health!" "I'm very healthy!" Old Master Rayne laughed as he took the box from Bianca's hands.
"Teach me how to play chess, Great-Grandpa! I want to beat Lanie in chess! ” Tommy said.
Tommy and Lanie often played chess. The little boy was intelligent, but he was far younger than Lanieand had never won before.
"Alright, alright, well teach you!" The two old men said in unison.
The two old men restarted their game while Tommy watched. Lanie had nothing else to do, so hewatched his great-grandfathers play chess too.
