Female Novel
Chapter 213
Chapter 213 Bianca’s Heart Quivered "I wanna sleep, Daddy..." Rainie slumped lazily over Luke'sshoulder and pouted.
Bianca got out of the car. She lifted her head and looked at Luke's profound eyes.
The part of her chest that Luke had touched felt swollen and painful. It was more sensitive than the daybefore. She wondered if it was almost the time of the month, and a brief calculation revealed that it wasthe case.
Luke carried his daughter and looked at his son, who did not seem to be of much use, then looked atBianca. "Stay here and accompany the children."
At the same time, he placed the little girl in the car.
Jason had work to do. After all, a boss's assistant had to take care of his boss in addition to his ownwork and was usually busier than the boss himself.
The car was parked in the outskirts of the town, and a five-year-old girl was sleeping inside. No parentwould be at ease.
Bianca was more than willing to stay back and take care of her daughter, but she glanced at hercolleagues who had gathered some distance away and said, "How would they see..." 'Let them drawtheir conclusions," the man said coldly. After putting Rainie down, he lit a cigarette and took a drag.When he passed by her side, he stared straight at her. "No matter what it is, you were the one whoslept with me."
He spoke softly, but those words were like needles in Bianca's ears.
Bianca thought that Luke was acting out of jealousy today, even though he might not admit to it.
A considerate man would think of the big picture and not let any aspect of the situation turn for theworse. That was the sign of a man's maturity and responsibility.
Bianca loved men who were like that. She appreciated a man who could think and strategize, not anarrogant hooligan who only knew howto use violence to solve everything.
Luke's exterior might seem calm and collected, but he was also very capable of jealousy.
Bianca heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the man walk away while frowning. She got back into thecar, slowly leaned forward, and landed a gentle kiss on her sleeping daughter's pink cheek.
Meanwhile, the other people toured the area. The workers noted down the boss's feedback andprepared to make changes later.
During lunchtime, someone drove back to town to buy lunchboxes for everyone.
Food options were limited in the small town, and everyone ate the same thing.
After Rainie woke up, Bianca brought the children out of the car. She was supposed to be working. Ifshe remained in the car, someone might gossip that she was lazy.
She did not want to be seen as privileged because she was the boss's cousin's wife. Her colleagueswould not appreciate that.
Rainie played with her brother when she was awake. Bianca occasionally glanced at them while atwork to make sure that everything was OK.
While they were eating and Rainie was looking intently at the sauerkraut in Bianca's lunchbox, aPorsche was seen driving toward them.
The car raised dust clouds in the distance, though the dust clouds died down when the car got near.The wheels drove past a puddle, splashed water all around, and stopped in front of the crowd.
Bianca's hand that was feeding Rainie froze in mid-air.
She could immediately tell that it was Xavier's ride.
'Why is he here?' 'It's Uncle Xavier.’ Rainie looked at the man who had gotten out of the car. He lookedcasual and energetic.
'Looks like he slept very well last night.' 1
When Xavier walked toward the crowd, Bianca could hear that her colleagues started to gossip.
She could not hear exactly what they were saying, but she could guess that it was about the headlineearlier that morning...
They were thinking that Xavier was there to apologize to his wife for having an affair with Leia Norman,the famous celebrity.
Some of the colleagues were even thinking that Bianca had already known about her husband’s affair,and that was why she wanted a divorce.
Now, everyone knew about that affair.
No woman would be able to take that lying down.
If Xavier did not want the divorce, they could not guess the reason.
Scandals were replete in wealthy families. No matter how entertaining the rumors can get, they wereoften not as interesting as the truth hidden behind the walls of those families.
Xavier carried a case of expensive imported drinks in his hand. A ten- ounce bottle usually cost sixdollars in the grocery store.
A regular office worker would rarely drink that. With six dollars, they would rather get Starbucks.
'Thanks for your hard work, everyone. Please have a drink." Xavier placed the case of drinks on thetable and greeted the workers who were having lunch.
’Good day, Uncle Xavier,’ Rainie greeted Xavier politely.
Xavier turned to look at the little girl next to him. He bent down and reached out, "Here, give UncleXavier a hug!" "Come here and eat your lunch." Bianca pulled Rainie next to her side, got her to sitdown on a rock, and continued spoon-feeding her.
Rainie opened her mouth and ate the sauerkraut that was fed to her. She had never tasted it beforeand thought that it was delicious.
Her colleagues went to take a drink each and said thank you.
One of the female colleagues opened the bottle and took a gulp. She spoke to Joe, "See that? It'sobvious that he usually brings something for the crew whenever he visits the celebrity on the film set.He's using the same tricks on his wife."
Joe pretended not to hear or see anything. He would rather not ruffle any feathers.
No one recognized Leia in her casual clothes and hat. They thought that Xavier had brought along twoof his female friends or relatives.
Perhaps they were there to persuade Bianca to change her mind.
The colleagues took their drinks and went away, eating their lunch and reviewing their work whilestealing glances in Bianca's direction.
They saw someone take out a camera and snap photos of Bianca, Xavier, and the tall and slenderwoman that came along with Xavier, but no one got to see her face clearly...
Among those people, Bianca was the only one who was at a loss. Eventually, she stood up andprepared to leave with Rainie.
'Sorry, I still have work to do."
Just when Bianca turned around, Luke came down from the hill with Jason and two other employeescarrying surveying tools.
The two employees went to collect their lunchboxes, and Luke walked toward Bianca.
He looked at Xavier and furrowed his brows. He also recognized that the woman looking at her wasLeia, though he did not regard her any differently.novelbin
"Why are you suddenly here?" Luke asked Xavier without displaying much emotion. One of his handspatted Rainie lovingly on her head, while his other hand reached out to take Bianca's cup, then took agulp of the lemon- infused water like it was the most normal thing in the world.
Bianca's heart skipped a beat.
Leia was surprised. The part of the cup where Luke drank from had a faint lipstick mark...
