Chapter 844 Provocation
Bianca walked out of the cafe and went to a well-known mall next door because she wanted to buysome clothes for her children.
She had not been spending much time with them as she was occupied with the recent events. She feltguilty about it.
Bianca shopped around and bought two large shopping bags worth of clothes for the twins and Tommy.
When she passed by a boutique, Bianca saw a pink, princess-like dress. The color, texture, and stylewere great. She thought that it would be perfect for Sue’s daughters.
Once in a while, Sue would buy Tommy and the twins some clothes or other gifts. Bianca wanted toreturn the favor and went in to buy the dress for her daughters.
She bumped into someone as soon as she entered the boutique.novelbin
''Sorry...” A man apologized, his voice sounding magnetic.
That familiar voice startled Bianca.
The man’s body was well-built, and the impact hurt Bianca a little. She lifted her gaze and met a pair ofevil but sad eyes.
It was Xavier Tanner!
Bianca took a step back when she saw the man's face.
Her flight or fight mode was instantly activated.
The moment Xavier looked down and saw Bianca, he was shocked. A City was big and he thought thechances of bumping into each other were low. He did not expect to meet Bianca.
Although he fantasized every day about when he would be able to meet her, now that she was in frontof him, he thought that he was dreaming.
Bianca’s heart twitched, and her voice was trembling as she uttered, "A City is pretty small, I didn'texpect to see you here."
Although it had been years since the incident, the damage Xavier caused her still lingered.
Every time she thought of him, she thought of how she had almost been humiliated. She did not wantto see him ever again.
Xavier could feel Bianca's hostility toward him as well as her strong resistance. His breathing grewerratic as he said, "A City is fairly small. You ... How are you doing?"
Xavier's gaze was locked on her. He was greedily looking at her innocent face. Pain and love werehidden in his charming eyes.
Xavier knew she was doing well without having to ask.
Luke loved her so much, so he would never allow any harm to come her way.
What was more, she was the daughter of the Provincial Committee Secretary. No one dared to step onher toes.
Bianca was as beautiful as ever. Time had not left any traces on her body. She looked younger andmore charming.
Xavier stared at her affectionately, but the latter kept avoiding him.
However, perhaps his gaze was too compelling, so Bianca eventually looked at him.
His face was evil and charming, but he looked a lot more haggard. His suit was wrinkled. It seemedthat he had not ironed it in a while. His eyebrows seem to be in a constant frown as well. He had losthis playboy traits and only looked as though he had given up on life...
Bianca took a step back awkwardly. "I'm doing great. How about you? Are you with anyone?"
She meant to imply something.
People who visited children's clothing stores were usually married and had a baby. Otherwise, whywould a free spirit like Xavier come to such a place?
The relationship between the Crawford family and the Tanner family was ruined the moment Xavierkidnapped her. The two families did not keep in contact, so Bianca was not sure whether Xavier wasmarried.
Xavier put his hands in his pockets and stared straight at her. He said with a wry smile, "No, I don'tthink I'll ever get married."
He thought that time would make it hurt less and there was going to be someone better who wouldreplace her. He thought that he had moved on from her, but the moment he saw her again, the scar inhis heart ripped open once more. It was unbearable.
He still loved her...
"We're getting old and at the age where we should start our own families. If you meet the right person,go for it. Otherwise, your family will be worried." When Bianca faced Xavier, she felt embarrassed anduncomfortable.
It was awkward, and she was at her breaking point. Bianca was thinking of an excuse to leave whenshe heard a sweet female voice calling out to Xavier, "Xavier, come here and look at this! What do youthink of this?"
Bianca looked where the sweet voice came from and saw a young woman about 165cm tall. She wasslender and curvy at all the right places. The young woman was wearing a white maternity dress.
She was spinning like a cheerful bird in front of the full-length mirror.
The female shop assistant was serving the young woman diligently, praising her for her good looks andfit figure.
The moment Bianca saw her face, her heart skipped a beat.
This young woman's face looked fairly similar to hers...
She looked to be around 20 years old. She probably had not graduated from university yet. Her facewas beautiful, and her skin was fair and delicate like a flower covered with dew. Her beauty highlightedher playful and gentle spirit.
Although she was thin, there was a small bump on her lower abdomen.
It was not obvious at first glance, but because the young woman was deliberately pushing her belly out,it was clear that she was pregnant.
Based on her previous experience, Bianca assumed that she was at least four months along.
Xavier looked a little embarrassed and after hesitating for a moment, he walked up to the youngwoman. He said in a neutral tone, "Not bad."
Although his ‘praise’ only consisted of two words, the young woman blushed with joy.
She was overwhelmed with excitement. She grabbed his arm and asked," Really? Xavier, among allthat I tried today, which one is the best?"
Xavier did not blink his eyes as he answered nonchalantly, "They all look great. Since you like all ofthem, let's get them all." "Xavier, you're so kind to me. I love you so much...” The young woman stoodon her tiptoes and planted a loud kiss on Xavier's face. As she did that, she noticed Bianca from thecorners of her eyes.
She had a bad gut feeling. The moment she saw Bianca, the alarm bell in Riley's heart started goingoff.
Her intuition told her that this woman was dangerous.
She snuggled into Xavier's arms possessively and asked Bianca in a provocative tone, "Who are you?"
