Chapter 205 Luke’s Public Display of Affection!
"Miss Bea... is that true?" Rainie looked at Bianca with her tearful puppy eyes.
Bianca lowered her head, kissed Rainie's forehead, and tousled her hair.' No, I won't ever think of youas a nuisance."
Perhaps Bianca's tone of voice might have been too serious. Not only was the young girl utterlyconvinced, but her words had even startled Jason, who was driving.
Jason considered himself a weathered man who had seen all sorts of people, from the noble andmighty to the wretched and despicable, in his many years working with his boss. He thought that hewas very well-versed in reading another person's character and could easily tell a truth from a lie.
At that moment, Jason could not sense any hint of untruth in Bianca's words.
He could not help but steal a glance at Bianca through the rearview mirror. For a fleeting instant, hethought that he was looking at the two children's birth mother...
In A City Hospital.
When Old Master Crawford woke up, he did not see his grandson or his two great-grandchildren.Instantly, he began to worry.
Allison went over at the first available moment and tried to plant ideas in the old man's head. "Father,do you want to call Luke and ask him?" "What should I ask?" Old Master Crawford replied in betweenbites of his breakfast.
The nurse who was spoon-feeding Old Master Crawford kept her head low and dared not to speak.She knew that the family was not an ordinary one.
"Don't you know how crazy young people can get these days? I've underestimated what Bianca cando. I'm sure that Luke must have gone to that small town to look for her!" Allison might not understandher son well, but she knew what despicable lengths Bianca could go.
No man would have been able to withstand the charms of that woman!
Old Master Crawford did not appreciate Allison's tone of voice, though he shared Allison's worry aboutwhat might happen.
If a man and a woman did not control themselves while they were alone, it was easy to make a bigmistake.
"Give me the phone," Old Master Crawford ordered Allison, “Call Luke's office first."
Allison had called Luke's office earlier. No one answered the call, and it was diverted to the secretary'sphone.
Allison dialed the number in front of Old Master Crawford and turned on the speaker.
Again, no one answered the call.
The result was the same after several tries.
Old Master Crawford furrowed his brows. He looked at the phone and said, "Dial Luke's number."
Allison did not want to make the call. Even if she did, her son would make up an excuse to end theconversation.
It would be different if Old Master Crawford were the one speaking.
Luke was not one to go against his grandfather, especially when his grandfather was bedridden in thehospital.
Very soon, the call was answered.
The person who answered the call was Jason. "Good day, Madam Tanner," he said.novelbin
’Jason? I'm Luke's grandfather!" Old Master Crawford spoke loudly and clearly into the phone.
"Old Master Crawford! Can I help you with anything?" Jason replied politely.
"Where's Luke? Why did you answer his phone?" The old man was suspecting that his grandson hadgone off to do something shady.
"It’s like this, Old Master Crawford. We're at a small town surveying the area for a future developmentproject. We're here since early in the morning to meet with several people from the town council, andwe're so busy that we haven't had a drink of water yet."
He continued, worried that Old Master Crawford did not believe him, "You haven't been traveling forseveral years, Old Master Crawford. How about I take a video of the surroundings for you? You cansee how beautiful this place is, and I would also like to request your precious opinions. Mr. Crawfordhas always kept you in his mind, and I believe that he will appreciate your thoughts on the matter!"’Take the video then!" Old Man Crawford did not want to look at the scenery but rather what hisgrandson was doing.
His pride was also satisfied when he heard that his grandson wanted his opinion!
As he spoke, Jason turned on the camera and took a panoramic video of the scenery around the river.There were hills and thick vegetation, and the air was fresh, unlike the city.
Jason explained in the video. "Do you see the mountain in the distance, Old Master Crawford? It isfamous for its mushrooms, and we'll bring some back for you. It's currently harvest season formushrooms, and I believe they're just as good as Italian ones."
Jason sent the video to Old Master Crawford in the hospital.
In the video, Luke and the town administrators were standing next to the river, pointing at the distanceand talking about something. They wore serious expressions on their faces.
The other workers were almost nowhere to be seen.
Old Master Crawford was relieved after watching the video.
He had seen those town administrators on the news before and had even had dinner with several ofthem. Jason could not have faked it.
Town administrators would usually keep a close eye on development projects that affected the entiretown. As the boss of T Corporation, Luke would necessarily have to accompany them to survey thelandscape of the town, as well as accompanying them for business lunches and dinners. He would nothave any free time for himself until late in the night.
If that were the case, he would not have the time for romance.
Old Master Crawford handed the phone back to Allison and spoke to her solemnly, "As Luke's mother,you shouldn't always be suspecting your son. With so many people around, Luke should know what todo even if he has the intention..."
Allison's hand was trembling with anger when she took the phone.
In the small town, at the river.
Luke was briefly explaining to the administrators the changes to the town brought by the developmentproject.
Meanwhile, Bianca was holding Rainie's hand in one hand and her work laptop in the other. She waskeeping a close eye on Lanie, who was very excited upon seeing the river.
The river was flowing fast. It would be dangerous if the child fell inside.
’There’s a fish, Miss Bea!" Lanie excitedly kicked away his shoes and wanted to run into the river.
Bianca and the two children did not see Luke, accompanied by the group of town administrators,heading toward their way.
’Don't try to catch the fish. Come back here, Lanier
Bianca had to let go of Rainie's hand and put the laptop down. She rushed over to grab Lanie.
The river bed was full of uneven stones. Bianca nearly tripped when she managed to pick Lanie up...but she was grabbed to safety by a solid wall of muscle behind her.
Bianca was grabbing Lanie, who was squirming like an eel, but the fish had swum away... 1
She turned around and saw Luke's face. His domineering and unrestrained masculinity enveloped her.
He wore a sullen expression on his face, wordlessly reprimanding his son in Bianca's arms. Laniecowered timidly when he turned around and saw his father's face. He wanted to apologize but did notdare to make a sound.
Luke's hands warmed Bianca's waist. His thin and sexy lips almost touched her earlobe. ' Are youhurt?" He asked.
