Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 170

Bianca saw that the man standing outside was Xavier Tanner.

This indirectly shows that Xavier went back and forth in the theater and went back to the VIP Hall to look for her, to no avail.

In a fit of rage, the man came to intercept her.

He had watched his lawfully wedded wife cuckooed him with another man right under his nose. Yet, he missed out on the golden opportunity to catch them red-handed.

At this moment, as the husband, the entire ordeal must be unspeakably unbearable, even though it might be a loveless marriage between the two—there was not even one-tenth of love in their marriage.

In truth, Bianca did not think it was considered cheating to visit the father of her child. However, in Xavier’s eyes, seeing Luke kissing her was directly tantamount to cheating.

"Bea, is he your friend?" Nina stood at the door awkwardly. Based on the look Xavier gave Bianca, Nina assumed that there was a high probability that Bianca knew this man.

Bianca answered Nina with silence.

Nina could not help thinking that she would know Bianca's friends within the country too. As for new colleagues that Bianca just got to know in the company, she probably knew them better than Bianca.

Among those people, the man outside the door was never part of any of those groups.

The only possible explanation was that this man was someone whom Bianca knew when she was studying abroad. Now, both of them returned to their home country and remained in contact…

However, based on the expression on the man’s face as he stood outside the door, Nina felt that the man’s relationship with Bianca could be more complex than merely being ordinary friends.

"Would… Would you like to come in and have a seat?" Nina said.

Xavier did not pay Nina any attention as she stood waiting in front of the door. Yet, his eyes were burning with a murderous glare as he shifted his gaze at the little white pair of women's shoes on the shoe rack at the door.

The ambiguously flirty scene that he witnessed in the VIP Hall suddenly reappeared in his mind.

"Come in. Coincidentally, I have something to tell you, too," Bianca said coldly. Then, she turned around to the kitchen to fetch some cups and poured them two cups of water.

After exiting the kitchen, Bianca put the two cups of water on the tea table.

Nina left her position at the door since the man had already passed through the door. The man was tall with long legs, and he carried himself rather well too.

Yet, when compared to the big boss, this man somewhat lacked the sophistication of the bourgeoisie. Instead, he emanated a roguish ruthlessness.

It felt like a suit was draped over his body like a sheepskin that was brutally draped over a wolf’s body.

"Here are your slippers." Nina helped to retrieve a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet.

When Xavier lowered his head to change into the slippers, he frowned. He was surprised at the size of this pair of men's slippers.

Nina did not know the man’s identity, so she kindly explained, "These slippers belong to Bea’s grandfather. You can make do with them first."

Hearing that this pair of men's slippers belonged to Bianca's grandfather, Xavier put them on without a second thought.

All three of them stood awkwardly in the living room.

Nina always felt that the atmosphere between Xavier and Bianca was strange. Having a hunch that they had a secret to share, Nina said to Bianca self-consciously, "I’ll head off to my bedroom and surf the Internet. Holler if you need anything.”

Bianca nodded.

With Nina here, Bianca was courageous enough to let Xavier into the house. Otherwise, she would never meet a person who took the law for granted in private.

What Bianca was truly thinking was that if Nina found out who was outside the door from the peephole first, she would never have let Nina open the door.

Let Xavier ring the doorbell until night, and still, she would not open the door.

There were only two people left in the living room, but Xavier did not sit down. Instead, he went directly to the shoe cabinet and took out the white pair of women's shoes.
