Chapter 242
Chapter 242 Who’s the Real King of the Family?
The black Bentley slowly drove out of the hospital.
Bianca looked at the two cute children, and her mood brightened instantly.
Luke did not look at the children like Bianca did. Instead, he was looking at Bianca's face.
Bianca was oblivious to that.
The two children clung to their mother and chatted with her ceaselessly.
'Am I not as important as the children?' Luke thought.
Suddenly, he was jealous!
Rainie pouted and said to Bianca coyly, "When I was three years old, Grand Auntie came over forChristmas and brought her two granddaughters along. They're the same age as me, but they havepretty braids. They told me that their mommy braided their hair for them. Why don't you have amommy? I was so angry that I cried."novelbin
Bianca looked at Rainie's aggrieved expression and hugged her tightly. She kissed Rainie's foreheadand said, "I'll do your braids for you every day." "Mm, thank you, Mommy!" Rainie snuggled comfortablyin her mother's arms.
However, the little girl suddenly felt a chill coursing down her spine. She thought that someone scarywas looking at her.
After Rainie was done complaining, it was Lanie's turn. "When GreatGrandpa brought me to the park toplay with the other boys, their mommies will be there handing them their water bottles whenever they're
thirsty. I'm the only one standing there wiping my sweat with my shirt sleeve, and I got scolded back athome."
He wanted to say "I got scolded by Daddy," but Luke was currently glaring at him.
Even though Lanie did not specifically say who scolded him, it was clear who did it.
It could not be their great-grandfather, who doted upon the two children.
It could not be the caretakers either, knowing that the patriarch of the family spoiled them.
That left Luke, who failed as a father.
Bianca did not look at Luke grudgingly, though her impression of him fell by a bit.
The father, who had been ignored all this while, abruptly grunted.
He glanced at the two children with a gloomy face and said, "Don't you think you talk too much?"
The children looked at their father and were about to apologize when Bianca said, ‘Can't your attitudebe better when treating your children?"
Bianca had meant to say that for a long time, and she finally said it today.
Luke, who had been reprimanded, seemed slighted, but he did not say anything.
He shut his mouth.
The two five-year-old children seemed to have noticed that slight change...
In the household, their father was like the king. Everyone had to listen to him.
Now, the queen seemed to be taking over the throne...
Meanwhile, Leia met with Xavier.
Marie stayed in the RV waiting for Leia. After the previous incident, she dared not go too close toXavier.
Leia did not bring her two other assistants with her, only Marie.
That meant that she trusted Marie to her personal life and that Marie would not divulge Leia'swhereabouts.
Marie did not think so. She thought that Leia only brought her along and not the two other assistants sothat Leia could bully her.
After all, Leia had to maintain a mature and dependable guise in front of the public.
In the restaurant.
Xavier was cutting his steak when he asked, "You intend to get close to Luke Crawford? Did I mishear?This is news to me." 1
The lives of adults in elite society might look glamorous, but that might not be the case behind thescenes. It was normal for them to go on dates or make out if they met each other at a party and desiredeach other.
Of course, they had to maintain the illusion of glamor.
Those young men and women had to keep up with their appearances. If Leia would want to marrysomeone with similar social status, and that person was the young and accomplished Luke Crawford, itwould be a good thing for Leia.
To be frank, Xavier was eager for that to happen.
However, he had a question. 'What's so good about Luke Crawford that so many women desire him?'
Many people, including males and females, desired Luke, though not many people put their thoughtsinto action.
The first reason was that Luke had a mind of his own. No one could control whom he liked or did not.
If someone did not catch Luke's eye, there was no use of them trying to gain his favor.
Secondly, even if many people wanted to pursue him, there were usually no chances for them toapproach Luke privately.
At the bare minimum, one needed to have a similar social status.
Not only was Leia good-looking, but her family had a lot of clout. How many young women could saythat their father was Jack Norman?
Only Leia could.
Leia pondered for a moment before giving Xavier her answer. "I can't say what's so good about him,but there's no one in this world like him."
Xavier felt incredibly jealous when he heard those words from Leia's mouth. He nodded and said, "Mm,looks like he's utterly captivated you. Keep it up. If you don't win his heart, I'll always look down uponyou."
Leia remained composed. Xavier could see that she was scheming something.
There must be a reason why Jack and Queenie adopted Leia instead of any other girl in theorphanage. Xavier believed that it was because she was a schemer.
Indeed, ever since Leia was adopted by the Normans, she had worked hard and became a famouscelebrity. She was at the peak of her life.
Not any woman could have achieved that.
"I don't think I'll be of much help, but as Luke's childhood friend, I can tell you the things that he likesand dislikes," Xavier said.
Even though he said that he would not be of much help, he knew that he would give his everything tohelp Leia!
If Leia could win Luke's heart, then Bianca would be ditched!
At that time, he would be more than willing to accept Bianca into his life again!
