Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 102

When Allison heard her son mention that they had broken up, she was overjoyed.

However, on the surface, Allison looked heartbroken as if she had lost her prospective daughter-in-law, Bianca. "Why did you two suddenly break up? What kind of a problem is so bad that can't be resolved?"

Bianca turned to leave.

Allison pretended to try and stop Bianca. "Bea, I beg you... Don't tell the two old men about this yet. Their bodies won’t be able to take it.”

Luke raised his eyes and looked at the door where Bianca's figure disappeared.

At the same time, the other deep set of eyes in the room also looked toward the door. After that, Xavier's gaze turned to his cousin, Luke.

Allison had her back turned away from the three of them. She rubbed her fingers before turning to give Yvonne an encouraging look.

Yvonne got the hint. She went to pour a glass of water and put it next to Luke's left hand. "Here Luke, drink some water."

Luke stopped his work, closed his eyes, and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows. He ignored everyone, including the excessively courteous Yvonne who was beside him.

Xavier got up, stood in front of the window sill, and lit a cigarette. He had one hand holding the cigarette and used the other to push the window open. He glanced inadvertently at the garden downstairs.

The woman who his aunt had called Bea went to the garden.

Even though they were far apart, he could still see Bea's face clearly.

As a veteran in love, Xavier understood that those words said by Luke just now were probably invisibly mixed with ice knives, cutting through Bea's heart.

Xavier listened to her aunt chatting happily with Yvonne about family affairs. It was obvious that his aunt was only pretending just now. The only person she actually liked and accepted to be her daughter-in-law was Yvonne who came from a well-off family.

Deep down, she probably disliked Bea.

After smoking a cigarette, Xavier put out the cigarette butt, raised his head, and said, "Aunt Allison, I'll be leaving first. I have an appointment with a few friends at the wine bar in the evening."

Yvonne released her arm around Allison's arm and said, "Goodbye, Aunt Allison.”

"Come here more often. I still have a lot of skincare regimens I’d like to ask you about," Allison said. She looked at her son. "Luke, Xavier and Von are leaving. Won’t you send them to the door?”

Luke picked up the phone and made a call. He looked solemn with his furrowed brows as he talked about business through the phone. He gave them a wave to bid farewell.

"It’s alright, Aunt Allison. Don’t forget about our family gathering on the weekend."

After speaking, Xavier bid farewell to his aunt and left.

...

Allison stood at the top of the stairs, watching the two of them exiting the living room on the first floor of the manor.

When she turned back to the study, she waited patiently for her son to finish speaking on the phone before Allison said, "Since you’ve broken up with Bea, then Yvonne..."

"We’re ten years apart. I’ve regarded her as a little sister since I was a child. If you want her to be your daughter-in-law, I’m afraid you’ll have to find another son." Luke did not give his mother a chance to matchmake him with Yvonne.

Allison looked at his son who was making another call and was suddenly enraged.

Allison asked herself what kind of bad deeds she committed in her past life to get the karma of giving birth to such a cold-faced son who never followed along with what his mother wanted.

‘20 minutes ago, he just said that he’s broken up with that Bianca girl! Now, he’s giving an attitude and refusing another girl. What's the matter with him?!’

"What's wrong with a ten-year age gap? I don’t think men care about marrying someone younger. Your dad didn’t mind remarrying an 18-year-old wife!" When Allison saw that her son was still expressionless, she said, "I’ve promised Von that you’ll let her intern at your company for a bit.”

"The internship is fine, but other than that, it’s out of the question." Luke lit a cigarette, then raised his eyes. "I'm working, so don't mention this kind of thing in the future."

Allison went out and slammed the door angrily.
