Chapter 765 She Felt That Her Body Was Cold All Over
Allison could feel anger rising when her son had embarrassed her in front of a guest.
She was about to open her mouth when Maxine gently tugged her elbow and smiled sweetly at Luke."If that's the rules of T Corporation, then I shouldn't ask for special treatment. I'll apply to the companyand go through the interview process. If I succeed, I'll do my internship at T Corporation. If I fail, I won'tgive you any trouble." "Mm." Luke looked at Maxine with some surprise. He did not expect her to saythat.
He had no recollection of that cousin at all.
He did not care about her supposedly influential background either. In fact, he was not fond of any ofhis mother's relatives. They had never helped Allison when she needed them the most.
After he took over T Corporation and brought the company to prosperity, Allison's relatives startedsucking up to him. He hated materialistic and opportunistic people like those.
Maxine's heart started beating faster when she saw Luke looking at her.
She smiled at her, and two faint dimples appeared on her face.
Bianca watched as the two people spoke. She suddenly felt that Maxine's smile was an eyesore.
She sighed inaudibly and sat quietly on the couch. No one knew what she was thinking.
A faint ray of sunlight landed on Bianca's face, which illuminated the microscopic hairs on her face.
Several lilies were placed in a vase on the coffee table. It formed a beautiful and serene picture withBianca's face.
Luke was caught in a daze as he looked at the scene. He held Bianca's hands tightly and felt that therewas nothing more that he would ask for.
Soon, it was mealtime.
The meal was a lot more sumptuous than usual, perhaps because there was a guest. The Crawfordshad hired a professional chef to prepare the meal: Venison bourguignon, poached sturgeon, freshgarden salad with caviar, truffle and date puree...novelbin
The names alone were tantalizing, and the plating was simply a joy to behold.
Bianca did not have the appetite to eat. She took a few bites of the salad and could not eat anymore.
Luke knew that Bianca was not in a good mood. He tried to coax Bianca to eat.
He knew that Bianca loved soup. He took a small bowl and ladled half a bowl of fish soup for her withsome fish. "You've been losing weight recently. You should eat more. This is wild carp. I know that youlike it..."
The gazes of the people around the dining table fell on Bianca. She could feel her scalp tingle.
Rather than embarrass Luke, she stuffed the fish in her mouth.
The wild carp was tender and delicious. That made her appetite better.
Before Maxine came to A City, she had heard about how Luke Crawford doted upon and pampered hiswife. When she witnessed how that demigod of a man coaxed his wife to eat as though she were achild, she was nonetheless shocked and, at the same time, a little jealous.
She had two elder brothers who had families of their own. As far as she knew, her sisters-in-law weresubmissive toward their husbands and took care of them as though they were their masters. She had
never seen a man treat his wife like that.
Moreover, he was an extraordinary man, and he should have enjoyed his wife's tender care instead ofthe other way round.
Yuri glanced coldly at her brother-in-law and his wife. Her dissatisfaction toward Louis grew even more.
Louis was spoon-feeding their daughter. Yuri was beginning to feel jealous toward that little girl.
After all, her husband was not going to treat her well. She had tried throwing tantrums and threateningher, but that had no effect on Louis. She hated his behavior, but she was helpless.
Louis pretended not to notice his wife staring daggers at him. He fed his daughter another bite andcarefully wiped a food stain on the corner of her mouth.
Meanwhile, Susan pretended that nothing that happened around the dining table had anything to dowith her.
Ever since her plot to kill Bianca's third child failed and she received serious warnings from Old MasterCrawford and Luke, she began to be a devout follower of religion. She held a rosary in her hand at alltimes, as though she had shed herself of any mortal concerns. 1
Allison spoke to Maxine when she saw that the young woman was being ignored. "You're too thin,Maxine. You ought to eat more meat. If you're too thin, you'll face problems when delivering a baby."
Maxine blushed, a little embarrassed by the hospitality she received from her aunt. "I'm almost full,Aunt Allison. I can't eat that much." "Eh, it's not a lot at all. You'll be prettier if you eat more."
Bianca glanced coldly at Allison's antics and picked some food for her three children.
When the three children were almost full, Bianca took several more bites of her fish soup and felt thatshe was done as well.
Bianca felt extremely tired. Her mother-in-law had never treated her well ever since she married Luke.The only person in the household that was kind to her had deceived her for a stupid reason.
She did not know why she had persevered. Her emotions had been exhausted.
When the two lines appeared on the pregnancy test kit, her mind went blank. After conducting a morethorough test at the hospital, the doctor
confirmed that she was not pregnant.
The pregnancy test kit might have been faulty, or there was some other reason that a false positive wasshown.
If Bianca had really become pregnant, she thought that she might lose her mind.
Her stomach began to feel uncomfortable, and she knew that she would be having her period soon.She wanted to remove herself from the table and distance herself from Luke.
She placed her cutlery down and spoke to Old Master Crawford. "I'm not feeling very well, Grandpa. I'llexcuse myself first. Please enjoy the rest of your meal."
Allison grunted coldly. "How pretentious. You're not so delicate when there aren't any guests around.How could you be sick when Maxine's here?"
Old Master Crawford noticed that Bianca's complexion was slightly pale." Alright, then you'd better goand take a rest. Luke, you should bring your wife to the hospital for a check-up." "Mm."
Luke wanted to bring Bianca to the hospital, but she firmly rejected his offer.
He could only bring Bianca back to their mansion.
She curled up on the bed and felt that her body was cold all over.
She placed her hands on her lower abdomen. It was abnormally cool.
Her lower abdomen hurt. She closed her eyes and felt a warm stream of liquid flow between herthighs...
