Chapter 262 Such A Gentle Gaze...
Back at home, the two children went to the study and did their homework, while Bianca went to thekitchen to prepare dinner.
In the sink was a basin half-filled with water and two fishes. Bianca was going to prepare fish for dinner.
Fish was very nutritious. It was the perfect food for a child's physical and mental development.
Her children might be picky eaters, but Bianca wanted to try to change their food habits.
After seeing Luke and Mavis ride in the same car, she was not in her element.
She told herself not to overthink, but she could not control certain things.
She picked up a fish from the basin and treated it as Luke.
Whack! Whack! She hit the fish with the rolling pin, and it went still...
She wanted to give a call to Luke, but she thought that it was beneath her dignity to do so.
If Luke was really talking business with Mavis, then her call would be an unnecessary distraction.
However, she nevertheless felt uneasy when she was reminded of Xavier's words...
She would rather not think about it.
Soon, the dining table was set up, and roast fish and maple syrup mashed potatoes were served.
Bianca went to get the children to have dinner.
"Wow, the dinner smells so good! I'm so hungry..." Rainie said cutely as she rubbed her growlingtummy.
Bianca scraped Rainie's nose gently with a finger. "Then you should eat more today." "Isn't Daddycome home for dinner tonight?" Lanie asked while shoveling a spoonful of mashed potatoes into hismouth.
Bianca glanced at the clock on the wall. It was getting late.
She shook her head and said. "He's busy with work today. Be good children and eat your food."
The two children were very silent tonight. They ate their meal without any protest. After dinner, theywere beginning to yawn.
Bianca helped them take a bath. In the bedroom, she tucked them into the quilt and patted their heads."Good night," she said gently.
The two children slowly closed their eyes and mumbled good night.
The two children looked almost identical. It was a heart-warming sight.
Bianca gently ran her fingers across the children's smooth and delicate skin. She smiled when sheremembered that the children were the proof of the love between her and the man of her dreams.
However, she became nervous as the clock continued to tick, but Luke showed no signs of returning...
Classical music played in the high-class restaurant.
It was a popular dining spot for couples.
Luke sat in front of the table. His bespoke Armani suit and handsome, sculpted face gave him a nobleaura like no other.
The lights shone diagonally on his face, which gave him an air of mystery.
Mavis fiddled with the foie gras on her plate half-heartedly, trying very hard to suppress her infatuationwith Luke. "Now that Lanie and Rainie are growing up, I wonder if you have time to pursue arelationship, Mr.
Crawford?"
Luke leaned back on his chair and looked directly at Mavis. "I didn't know that you're interested in mypersonal life, Ms. Laviere." "I guess it's because I’m getting older, and that makes me focus on differentthings in life. I used to be singularly focused on work. Work is still important to me now, but I'mbeginning to pay more attention to my relationships and health. You are an outstanding man, Mr.Crawford. I wonder what would your ideal woman look like?"
Ever since she started working for Luke, she knew that the man kept his personal life secret.
He was never fond of appearing in the limelight. One could count on one hand the number of times hemade a public appearance. Of course, no one had seen him with a woman.
She had thought that the boss was not interested in women.
When she found out that the boss had a pair of children, she was both shocked and angry.
However, she could not find out who the mother was. That had discouraged her greatly.
However, she was not going to let the children become an obstacle. As far as she knew, Luke was notmarried.
She would eventually be Luke's wife if she tried hard enough.
Bianca's image appeared in Luke's mind as he looked at Mavis. 'She should be about five-foot-five.She should also have straight black hair, big eyes, fair skin, and a quiet personality."
Mavis's heart sank when she heard Luke describe his ideal woman.
She was five foot eight and had curly hair, not to mention her aggressive personality. It was the totalopposite of Luke's ideal woman.
She remembered asking the same question a few years ago.
His reply back then was that he liked a diligent and assertive woman that could help him in his work.
That was why she had strived to become Luke's ideal woman. Now that she had the personality, hispreferences had changed. That made Mavis furious!
She was beautiful and came from a wealthy family. At work, she was capable and diligent. In heropinion, no one would be a better fit for Luke than she was.
She could see Luke's gaze turn gentle and indulgent when he described his ideal woman. At thatmoment, she suddenly had an urge to kill.
In all her years working with him, she had never seen his gaze become so gentle.
Five-foot-five, straight black hair, big eyes, fair skin...novelbin
That was the description of Luke's ideal woman.
Mavis could only think of Bianca. That woman was a perfect fit for Luke's description.
She continued eating her meal without showing any expression on her face, though her grip on thecutlery was subconsciously tighter, revealing her true feelings underneath...
'Bianca, right?
'I will not show any mercy to anyone who steps in my way of becoming Luke's wife!'
After dinner, when Luke's car passed by a 24-hour convenience store, Mavis said to him uneasily. "Mr.Crawford, can you stop for a moment? I need to get something."
Luke was in a hurry to return home, though he asked the driver to stop the car anyway, seeing hownervous Mavis was.
She got out of the car and hurried into the convenience store. Soon, she returned with a black plasticbag in hand.
After Mavis got back on, the driver started the car and sent her home.
Unknown to the man, under his seat was a pair of crumpled black lace panties with its price tag tornoff...
