Chapter 1118 They Were Not Convinced by Her
Bianca pouted unhappily. "I want to accompany you... and Tommy." "Mommy, I'll be fine with just Daddyhere," Tommy said.
Bianca bit her lip. Luke had been treating her more and more coldly, perhaps inadvertently influencedby the children.
The caretaker brought Bianca's shopping bags into the house and asked," Madam, should I bring thesebags to your bedroom?"
Bianca remembered that the other family members were not very happy whenever they saw her buynew clothes. She stood up and smiled at Luke and Tommy. ’ Alright, I'll go back to my bedroom then.I've also bought some new clothes for you. After you're done tutoring Tommy, come over and try themon, alright?" "Mm." Luke nodded, though his eyes remained transfixed on Tommy. When he sawTommy make a spelling mistake, he patiently corrected him.
Bianca was frustrated that Luke did not look at her at all, though she could not lose her temper in frontof her husband and child. She smiled at the caretaker and said, "Follow me." "Yes, Madam." Thecaretaker nodded and followed behind her.
Once out of Tommy's bedroom, Bianca's expression sank instantly. She walked to her bedroom andsaid to the caretaker brusquely, "Just put them here."
The caretaker had been working in Crawford Manor for many years and was used to Bianca's colddemeanor. She carefully placed the shopping bags on the couch, bowed politely, and left the bedroom.
Bianca took the new clothes out of the packaging and tried them on one by one. She looked at her facein the mirror and was reminded of the woman she saw at the restaurant earlier.
Luke seemed to have paid extra attention to that woman. In the two years that she was with Luke, itwas the first time that another woman had evoked that reaction from him.
Bianca clenched her new clothes uneasily, wondering if that woman had been sent here by Abel.
She looked at herself in the mirror again. Her face was exactly like Bianca's, and her amnesia was agood excuse.
However, she somehow could not convince Luke and the children. She did not know where her mistakewas.
She thought that she had nothing to worry about because of her face, but she had noticed Luke'sreaction toward that woman, and that had made her flustered for the first time...
Bianca touched her face again. She was experiencing a multitude of emotions.
After Luke tutored Tommy, he pinched the little boy’s cheek and said," You've been naughty, Tommy."
Tommy pretended to be confused. "I wasn't, Daddy." "You shouldn't find your homework difficult at all,"Luke called him out. He had been tutoring the children personally over the past two years, and he knewthat Tommy should not find his homework challenging.
Tommy stuck out his tongue and smiled. "I wanted you to spend more time with me, Daddy."
Luke did not blame Tommy. Before Bianca regained her memories, he wanted to take care of thechildren.
No matter how Bianca tried to take care of the children, they would find her a stranger.
"Don't be like that next time," Luke said softly. He did not scold him.
"Yes, Daddy,” Tommy said. He did not want Luke to have too many chances of being close with Bianca.
That woman might have the same face as their mother, but he and his elder siblings firmly believed thatshe was not their mother.
They did not find any familiarity in her.
After leaving Tommy's bedroom, Luke wanted to go to the study to continue with his work. However, heremembered what Bianca told her, so he went to their bedroom.
Bianca was staring blankly at the mirror. He went over and stood by her side. "What are you thinking,Bea?"
Bianca came to her senses. She turned her head and looked at him, feeling that he was keeping somedistance from her.
They might seem like a perfect match as they stood together, but she could not seem to get any closerto him no matter how hard she tried.
The mercenary that delivered the antidote told her that Abel was not satisfied with her progress. If shecould not win Luke's heart, Abel had no reason to keep her alive.
Bianca became very afraid. She looked away from the mirror, turned around, and looked lovingly at theman in front of her. "I'm thinking of the children." "What about them?" Luke noticed a stray lock of hairon her cheek. He wanted to reach out and sweep it away, but when he saw her cloying gaze, his handsremained firmly planted in his pockets.
"Nothing." Bianca took his hand and led him to the couch. There were several unopened shoppingbags. She opened them one by one and said," I've bought you some clothes for the next season. Trythem on and see if they fit you."
She handed the clothes over as though presenting a trophy. Luke took the clothes and glanced atthem. "They look nice."
Bianca could see that Luke was half-hearted. "Don't you want to try them on?" "You bought themaccording to my measurements, right? I'm sure that they'll fit me perfectly." Luke put the shirt away. Henoticed that most of the new clothes on the couch were hers.
Ever since Bianca lost her memories, her favorite activity was shopping.
Seeing that Luke was not willing to try on the clothes, she did not force him. She remembered aboutIvana and asked, "Right, Luke, do you remember that woman we saw at the restaurant earlier? Yousaid that she's a new employee of the pharmaceutical company, right?" "Mm." Luke nodded. He felt anuncontrollable sensation when he remembered Ivana's beautiful face.
"She is beautiful." Bianca pretended to seem envious. She continued asking, "She has a strangename. Is she foreign? I didn't think she's foreign." "She's from Russia," Luke explained.
When Bianca heard that Ivana was from Russia, she thought that the woman was sent here by Abel.
"So that's how it is. Right, why do you know about that? Don't tell me..." Bianca pretended to bejealous.novelbin
"Don't overthink it. These employees are vital to the company's development, and I interviewed thempersonally. The information is on her resume," Luke explained. He noted her jealous expression but didnot pay too much attention to it.
Bianca was satisfied that Luke took the effort to explain it to her. She hugged his waist and looked athim. "Will she be working in T Corporation?"
She hoped that Ivana did not work in T Corporation. Luke would be able to see her more often.
Luke knew what she was thinking. He shook his head and said, "No. The pharmaceutical company willhave its own building. Other than reporting for duty at T Corporation, she would be working at the otherbuilding."
The pharmaceutical company needed technical equipment for research, so he built a researchlaboratory elsewhere.
Luke somehow felt happy when he was reminded that he would not meet Ivana often.
