Chapter 376 Luke Is Busy Every Day
The next day was Saturday. After Bianca and the children had breakfast, she brought them to meettheir maternal grandfather.
Luke wanted to go along, but he received an important call from the company and had to return to theoffice.
He would join them for lunch later.
Luke apologized to her, but Bianca thought that it was no issue. After all, Luke bore a lot ofresponsibility helming a multinational company.
She felt sorry for Luke sometimes. As a wage-earner, she had two rest days every week. On the otherhand, whenever Luke got busy, he could work days and nights without rest.
Luke asked Lowry, his driver, to send Bianca and the two children over.
Old Master Rayne lived in a scenic neighborhood in the Nordlong Lake district. The neighborhood wasbuilt near a mountain range and a lake, and the place had fresh air and beautiful scenery. It was farfrom the bustle of the city, but it boasted a complete range of amenities, including a hospital, aphysiotherapy center, a park, and a chain supermarket.
Luke picked that location to settle Old Master Rayne, not only because it was an ideal place for an oldman to recuperate but also because everything was convenient.
After Bianca and the twins got out of the car, they saw a group of old people line dancing at the plazanear the entrance.
Her grandfather was among the crowd.
Old Master Rayne seemed to be in good spirits. Her aunt Wanda was walking alongside him whilechatting with him.
Wanda caught sight of Bianca in the corner of her eye.
Bianca was carrying many presents and brought two cute children with her. She was dressed in casualclothes, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she did not wear any makeup. Her pure looks made herstand out from the crowd.novelbin
"Grandpa, Aunt Wanda..."
Bianca greeted her grandfather and aunt softly while looking at the energetic Old Master Rayne andthe pale-faced Wanda.
Wanda gently tugged Old Master Rayne's shirt sleeve and said softly, "Bea and her kids are here tovisit you, Father." "My granddaughter is here? You haven't visited me for a long time. Let me see ifyou've become thinner..." Old Master Rayne gleefully waved at Bianca. His eyes were full of tenderlove.
Bianca and the twins walked toward them.
Her eyes misted when she saw Old Master Rayne's head full of white hair." I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'vebeen busy lately, and I didn't have the time to come and visit you. I'll try to come every week." "Silly girl,I know that you're busy, and it must be tough surviving by yourself. If you can't make it, I'll be satisfied ifyou can give me a call."
Old Master Rayne's words did not comfort Bianca at all.
She silently swore that she would come and visit her grandfather often in case he got lonely.
"Lanie, Rainie, come here. This is your other Great Grandpa, and this is Great Aunt Wanda. Be goodchildren and greet them." Bianca patted the twins' heads. 2 "Good morning, Great Grandpa and GreatAunt Wanda. My name is Lanie/ Rainie," the twins said in unison and introduced themselves.
Then, they blew flying kisses at their elders.
"Haha, they're good kids!" Old Master Rayne took an instant liking to the precocious twins. 1
He had heard from Wanda about what happened to Bianca.
He was moved by how his granddaughter had sold herself to become a surrogate mother to save hisson. At the same time, he also felt guilty.
Old Master Rayne could not stop grinning when he saw that the twins were so cute and intelligent.
He sat on a bench and gently lifted the twins' faces with his wrinkled hands. ’These two kids look sogood. They're just like my granddaughter when she was young!" "Does Mommy look like Rainie whenshe's young, Great Grandpa?" Lanie asked.
"Mm, your Mommy was very cute when she was small, just like the two of you. Her hair would be tiedin twin tails, and she would receive praises wherever she went. Other kids would be crying, but yourMommy wouldn't. She knows how to help me with chores too. I didn't expect that her children arealready so big..."
Old Master Rayne's gaze turned gentle as he reminisced about the past while looking at the twochildren who looked like Bianca.
"Let's go home first, Grandpa," Bianca was embarrassed when she heard her grandfather praising her.
Wanda laughed when she looked at her niece. She and Bianca helped Old Master Rayne walk towardthe mansions.
The other old men and women who were exercising in the park greeted Old Master Rayne. "Hey, Ol'Rayne, is your granddaughter visiting you?" "Yes, this is Bianca, my granddaughter. These two are mygreat-grandkids." "Oh, your granddaughter is so pretty. The two kids are like fairies. You're so lucky, Ol'Rayne!"
A smile appeared on Old Master Rayne's wrinkled face.
"The person who drove them here earlier, was that your grandson-in-law? He's tall, handsome, anddrives a luxury car. Why didn't he come out of the car and greet you?" One of the old women who wasgood friends with Old Master Rayne asked curiously.
The people who were line-dancing at the plaza saw Bianca and the twins come out of a luxury car.
The man who drove the car looked like a gentleman. He opened the car door for Bianca and thechildren.
However, the man left after Bianca and the children got out of the car.
They could not see clearly how he looked.
The old men and women who lived in the area were quite well-off, though they were impressed by themanner in which Bianca arrived.
"That's not my husband, Madam. He's the driver. My husband has some work in his company. He'll behere for lunch," Bianca explained.
"Wow, even your driver looks so handsome. Your husband must be a lot more handsome than that! Isay, Ol' Rayne, you're so lucky..."
The family went back to the house while the old people looked at Old Master Rayne enviously.
It was a double-story house with four bedrooms.
Old Master Rayne lived in one room, and the caretaker lived in another. The other two rooms wereguest rooms.
The house was well-equipped and well-furnished, but it looked somewhat desolate, perhaps becausenot many people lived there.
An old photo was placed in the middle of the table in the living room. It was a photo of Bianca and OldMaster Rayne from many years ago.
Bianca's heart wrenched.
Her grandfather was old, and he needed the company of his family.
However, he lived there alone.
She had suggested more than once that her grandfather move in together with them, but hergrandfather had always declined the offer. He said that he would not be used to the young people'sway of life and that he would be a bother.
