Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 171

“As long as we’re not divorced, I still consider you my wife. If any other men want to have any relationship with you, they’d bear the title of being an adulterer and risk having their reputation swept away completely.”

Xavier uttered his hostile warning before leaving.

Nina leaned against the cold wall in the kitchen and asked Bianca, who was busy in front of the kitchen counter. “What the hell is going on? That man’s crazy. What on earth is he scheming after he forced you to marry him? I just can’t see him actually liking you, and his possessiveness came so inexplicably.”

There was no need to question it. Nina knew that those matching shoes must have been worn by Bianca and the boss’ children…

However, how did that pervert maniac find out about it?

He must have known, otherwise, he would not have come here to give Bianca a warning. He made her abide some sort of female virtues, and went as far as setting the matching shoes on fire by the stove.

Bianca opened her mouth slightly, and her eyelashes trembled. “Anyone who has been in jail before must’ve been psychologically distorted to be able to commit a crime. So, anything he does is no longer strange. But you’ve correctly pointed something out; he truly doesn’t have any interest in me at all. None of his former partners had the same characteristics as me, so there’s only one reason for him to force me into marriage.”

“What’s the reason?” Nina asked.

Bianca placed the scorched black shoes into a bag, wanting to throw them out later.

“He’s Luke’s cousin.”

“What? They’re cousins… Then, you…” Nina considered Bianca to be her best friend; hence she should sympathize with her for this miserable ordeal.

However, for such a dramatic plot line to happen right under her nose, it was truly remarkable…

“They’re probably having some vendetta against each other. They’re acting polite and amiable on the surface, yet Xavier’s been secretly having a competition with Luke.” Besides, Bianca could not find a reasonable explanation as to why Xavier wanted to marry her.

He was a full-grown man. No matter how capricious and psychologically distorted he was, he would not have done such a major thing for no good reason.

Nina felt dreadful.

Entanglement between the wealthy families’ children was truly beyond the imagination of ordinary folks.

“So, you’re caught right in the middle of a crossfire between these two men,” Nina sighed.

Bianca nodded.

…

It was half-past eight in the evening.

Nina started to pack things up. “I’m heading back now.”

“Aren’t you staying here?” Bianca thought Nina was going to spend the night.

“No,” Nina replied as she cleaned up. “I don’t really want to listen to my mom’s nagging, but I’m worried about her heart problem. My parents must have fallen asleep by now, I’ll be more at peace if we’re all under the same roof.”

Bianca could understand Nina’s feelings, so she did not try to make her stay.

“Drive safe and slow,” Bianca sent Nina out the door. She watched as Nina went downstairs; her figure disappeared into the night.

She was left alone in the empty room.

After washing up, Bianca was getting ready for bed.

However, the doorbell started ringing at this hour.

Bianca changed into her pajamas and walked to the door instinctively. Before she could look outside the door’s glass, she heard a familiar cry.

It was Rainie.

Bianca could not think of anything else before opening the door.

Luke was holding onto Rainie, as he held onto the angry little fellow, Blanche, with his other hand.

“What’s happened?” Bianca took her daughter into her arms.
