Chapter 377 Luke’s Sudden Appearance In the Kitchen
Wanda poured a cup of hot tea for Bianca.
She also brought out a lot of healthy snacks for the cute twins.
Wanda loved the two children a lot.
She could not bear children because of her health, and that was one of the biggest regrets in her life.That was why she gave all her love and care to Lanie and Rainie.
The two children quickly familiarized themselves with their Great Aunt Wanda.
"Are you used to living here, Grandpa?" Bianca sat on the couch and started chatting with Old MasterRayne.
"This place is great. I wasn't too used to it at the start, but it grew on me. The environment here isgood, and the caretaker attends to all my needs. I often go for walks around the neighborhood and findmany friends of my age. I've never imagined that I'd be able to enjoy such a good life. The neighborswere right, Bianca. I'm so lucky because of you!" Old Master Rayne said emotionally.
After toiling for many years, it was finally his turn to relax and enjoy life.
When his son Kevin became an adult, he found a stable job, but he was too down-to-earth and wasdestined to be poor.
Kevin married twice after that, and each wife was worse than the other.
Allison Tanner, the first wife, was haughty and materialistic. She left because she could not stand thather husband was too honest.
She might have many negative aspects, but the only thing good about her was that she left Old MasterRayne with Bianca.
Jennifer Lee, Kevin's second wife, was even more haughty and arrogant. She dominated over herhusband, not allowing him to visit his father, and forbade Old Master Rayne and Bianca from visitinghim in A City.
Kevin was too submissive toward his wife. He had neglected his father and daughter for many years.
That was how Old Master Rayne had raised Bianca in the small town for many years.
Life was tough back then, but Old Master Rayne was satisfied.
He did not expect that his granddaughter grew up to be a very capable individual. Not only did she landherself a well-paying job in the big city, but she also found an outstanding husband who cared for him.Old Master Rayne did not have anything else to ask for.
"Don't mention it, Grandpa. I'm your granddaughter. This is what I should do."
Bianca took out a stack of dollar bills from her handbag and stuffed it in Old Master Rayne's hands. "Ijust got paid recently. You can take this. Let me know if it's not enough."
Old Master Rayne did not have a bank account. He only used cash.
His eyes widened, but he declined the offer. "You've paid for my stay here. Why do I need money? Idon't go shopping anyway, and I'll be keeping the cash in the house. What if a thief breaks in?"
Bianca laughed, but she insisted on giving her grandfather the money." Don't worry, the security in thisneighborhood is very good. There wont be any break-ins. Shouldn't you keep some money with you incase you see something that you like? Otherwise, your neighbors might think that I don't treat you welland don't give you spending money. You'd better take this money, Grandpa. Otherwise, I'll be angry!”
"This is a small token from Bianca, Father. You should take it," Wanda, who was playing with thechildren, added.
It was not very often that Bianca acted coyly toward her grandfather. Old Master Rayne shook his headhelplessly and took the stack of dollar bills.
He sighed and said to Bianca, "Alright then, I'll take the money and save it for you."
Soon, it was noon.novelbin
The caretaker had taken a few days off, so Bianca and Wanda prepared lunch.
They bought two full bags of ingredients from the supermarket.
Bianca bought some organic chicken and pork ribs to make a nutritious stew for Old Master Rayne andLuke.
While cleaning the vegetables in the kitchen, Wanda gave her advice to Bianca. "Bianca, you mighthave two children with Luke, but you should get him to marry you. I'm speaking from experience here.When a man loves you, he can treat you like a treasure and give you the world, but when he doesn'tlove you, it won't matter even if you die.
"The world is so chaotic now, and there are so many temptations outside there. Men can be fickle, soyou need a legal marriage to protect yourself. If you end up in divorce, at least you get to leave withsomething.
"You should also learn how to dress up yourself. Look at you. You're going to be twenty-five years oldnext year, but you still dress like a college student. Men are like bees; they like the most colorfulblooms. If you don't know how to flaunt yourself, you'll eventually wilt and lose all your amazing colors.It'll be too late when your bee goes to other flowers for honey..."
Wanda had always groomed herself impeccably. Bianca had never seen her without makeup.
Even though Wanda was divorced, she had carried herself well, and her face had never lookedhaggard. She was as delicate and elegant as usual.
Bianca agreed to some of Wanda's points but disagreed with the others.
She believed that Luke was not a bee, and he would not seek wildflowers.
Bianca knew that her aunt cared for her. After all, Wanda's only surviving relations were Old MasterRayne and Bianca. It was natural for Wanda to be concerned about Bianca's marriage.
Bianca gently stirred the chicken stew and took in the fragrance.
She smiled and said to Wanda, "You don't have to worry about me, Aunt Wanda. Things will turn outfine. Right, how has your health been? Have you been to the hospital for checkups?"
Bianca looked at her aunt worriedly.
Wanda suffered from cancer. She had been taking oral medication ever since she returned to thecountry.
Sometimes, she felt that life was not fair. Her father had died of cancer, and now her aunt was sufferingfrom the same illness.
"I'm feeling much better than before. I'm taking a naturopathy course. The effects might not be thatimmediately, but at least it's non-invasive. You need to learn how to dress up, Bianca. Old clothes canbe changed, crumpled money can be smoothened, but your beauty won't last.
"You might be young and beautiful now, but it'll be too late if you only start to take care of your skinwhen you reach my age... Listen to me, Bianca, you should get your marriage certificate with Luke as
soon as you can. The wedding ceremony can wait," Wanda said.
Before Bianca could reply, a resonant and pleasant masculine voice could be heard from behind them."We will be holding our wedding ceremony soon, Aunt Wanda. You don't have to worry about that.Please come and give us your blessings by then.”
Bianca turned around, shocked.
Luke had suddenly appeared in the kitchen.
He stood there in his business suit. Light from the kitchen window shone onto his porcelain-like neck,which turned it slightly pink...
