Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 113

When the waitress got back to her station, she saw the little boy tightly pulling the corner of Aunt Bea's clothes as he looked timidly at the big and tall father. The cold-looking dad with a stern face looked at the kid hiding behind Aunt Bea.

Bianca crouched down and picked up Blanche’s two pairs of shoes, his cartoon toothbrush, his watch, a few scattered T-shirts, and shorts, packing them back into the square yellow suitcase.

When Bianca closed the suitcase, she realized that the lock was broken.

"Excuse me, do you have tape here?" Bianca got up and asked the cashier.

"Yes, please wait for a minute. I'll look for it." The waitress lowered her head and started rummaging. She found it in the drawer.

Bianca took it, crouched down, and wrapped the suitcase with the duct tape.

In any case, the suitcase could no longer be repaired or reused, so she just focused on keeping the little guy's belongings inside it.

She wrapped the suitcase nicely.

Blanche lowered his head and said to Aunt Bea who was crouching and packing his things, "Aunt Bea, can I live in your house? I… I can pay you rent."

The little guy still remembered that the last time he asked Aunt Bea to accompany him to the summer camp, Aunt Bea refused. The reason for the refusal was that she had to work to make money and support her family.

Therefore, he did not want to burden Aunt Bea by not paying because it would only make her life a little harder.

"Where do you think you’ll get the money from?" Luke asked him with a cold look.

"I..." The little guy raised his head, looking at his father timidly. He opened his mouth for a long time before he got the courage to say, “I have the money I got last Christmas and the coins I saved up in my piggy bank."

Blanche had already planned it out so that he could use the money in his piggy bank to support himself for the ten something days that he would be running away from home.

As for the money his family gave him during Christmas, which was a lot, he could use for his studies until he was ten years old. The money would be used to pay his school tuition fees, his meals, a few shirts, and a pair of shoes.

He could use that money frugally.

After that, he would still get money during his birthdays and the following Christmases.

He was sure that he could live a good life without his dad.

As for Rainie, he knew better than to bring her along. He was worried that his sister would not be able to bear the hardship of running away from home. He thought that it would be better for Rainie to stay with the Crawfords.

When he was in the vehicle, he was too impulsive and asked his sister if she wanted to run away with him.

The little guy blamed himself as he thought about things.

"Thank you."

Bianca returned the tape to the cashier and went back.

The little guy was still pulling onto the straps of her bag. He did not relent and followed her every step. In desperation, she lowered her head and held Blanche's small face. She said, "Be a good boy and go home with your Daddy okay?"

Luke walked over, took his son's other hand, lowered his head, and said, "We’re going home. From today onward, there shall be no nonsense like this. You shall never bother Aunt Bea again.”

Bianca tucked her hair awkwardly behind her ear.

"But Aunt Bea said she’s working and not going on a blind date..." Blanche stated the facts and looked at Daddy with his big bright eyes, hoping that Daddy would not misunderstand Aunt Bea.

Sure enough, Luke looked at Bianca.

Bianca looked back at him, thinking that he would understand that she only lied because she was worried that the child would make a big ruckus due to the blind date.

Luke took Blanche's hand and walked away.

However, Blanche continued to pull on Bianca's bag strap stubbornly.

The two adults and one kid left the restaurant.

The women at the cashier continued looking at them.
