Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 117

"Ex-boyfriend?" Blanche was poking his steak with his knife. When he heard his uncle’s words, he raised his head and looked at him.

Rainie also raised her head, blinking. Her thick, jet-black eyelashes were twinkling.

After being stared at by his little nephew and little niece, Louis explained with embarrassment, "Yeah, ex-boyfriend. Uh… Just before your daddy, Aunt Bea’s boyfriend..."

After he explained, he felt as if a cold knife had been thrown at him. When he looked up, it was Luke with the inexplicably injured arm.

After Blanche and Rainie heard his explanation, they looked at Daddy together.

"Working in the same department as her ex-boyfriend? What a mess!" Susan chimed in.

In the past few days, Susan had sort of been shooed out by her son. She was shooed off to play poker and cards, or shooed off to the cabin in the woods to get away from the city.

Susan was not stupid and could guess why he did that.

Allison's son had a woman, and when he brought her back to meet the family for the first time, she witnessed the messy family affairs.

In order to prevent events like that from happening again, these people wanted to send her out so that they could have a ‘clean’ house.

As long as Bianca set foot into the house, Susan could not be there.

Susan pushed her anger down. However, when she found out that Allison's future daughter-in-law had an ex-boyfriend, she could not let the opportunity to vent out her anger go.

Allison sat across Susan.

When she raised her head and looked at Susan, Allison wanted to say that her son had broken off with that Bianca girl!

However, she knew that the old man still did not know about that, so Allison suffered in silence. She had to continue to be courteous and did not give any comments.

The old man who had been silent the entire time asked his grandson, "Louis, can you clarify yourself? What’s going on?"

"Ah." Louis glanced at Luke for fear that he had said the wrong thing. However, he did not try to hide it. Did it even matter if Bianca had an ex-boyfriend? That was not illegal!

"Bea went overseas to study and was in a relationship before this. However, their relationship didn’t last long. They were only together for a little over a year when both of them came back. They got into the same company which is our family’s company," Louis said, panicking, "As a result, that scumbag cheated, betrayed Bea, and..."

"And what?" The old man frowned.

Everyone at the table stared at Louis.

Luke put down his fork and knife, "I'm done eating. Let me excuse myself.”

"And he cheated with Bea's half-sister..." Louis concluded.

Susan finally understood. "So are you saying that Luke and Bea only knew each other for less than a month..."

After Luke went upstairs, Susan got the guts to say nastier things, "Father, you have to be cautious about choosing a granddaughter-in-law. It’ll be a shame if you chose a dirty girl like Allison. If it wasn’t for Luke’s hard work to put our good name back in the media, I’m afraid our Crawford family would’ve been hated forever. If one day everyone finds out that Zachary’s wife was a stripper cum gold digger, I’m sure T Corp’s stocks will take a big hit…”

"Shut your mouth! Stop talking about nonsense in front of the kids!" It was Allison who threw her fork madly.

Susan, who was interrupted, was not angry but laughed instead. "Did someone get angry from being embarrassed? Which part of my words were lies? I’m just teaching the children from an early age to remember who the mistress is in this family. Who the real crooked, shameless, and lowest person is in this house!”

"I'm full." Blanche put down his cutlery and got out of his chair.

"I'm full too." Rainie did as her brother did.

The two children did not go upstairs and went to the garden instead.
