Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 190

Luke was caught by surprise.

Any lucid person capable of reason could understand what was going on from the conversation.

"Don't think that I don't know what you're doing inside, Bianca! Let me tell you, I'll be waiting for you in front of the door today! I won't leave unless you open the door! If you want to sneak away, you'd better grow a pair of wings and fly out of the window!"

His mother yelled those words while he was making out with Bianca. At that volume, it was impossible for him to ignore it.

He did not stop his actions because he thought his mother wanted to stop her son from making out with his cousin's wife.

After all, that was against all social norms.

However, after his mother stepped into the house, she had said, "Not bad. Did you manage to lure in a bigshot?"

Luke knew that something was amiss from those words.

He could not exactly tell what was wrong, but he knew that his mother came to Bianca's house for a totally different reason than what he expected.

The ensuing conversation between Allison and Bianca would have been confusing to someone who did not know what was going on.

"You say that there's no man here? You're serving an adulterer behind my nephew and son's back in the morning! I've never known you to be like this, Bianca!"

Luke had cleaned up his body while his mother rained those accusations on Bianca.

Then, he heard a slap!

The slap was like a cold and thin blade cutting his face and drawing blood. The two people outside were the woman who had raised him and the mother of his two children.

They were getting physical at each other!

After Luke resumed his usual neat and business-like appearance, he frowned and walked toward the door. Just when he placed his hand on the doorknob, he heard another revelation that struck him like a lightning bolt.

"Haven't I always been a shameless woman to you? You think that I've seduced your son, who according to you is my biological brother. When I failed to seduce him, I've also married your nephew, who also has blood relations with me. Haven't you always said that I'm born to be a nuisance to you? Why did it take so long to slap me? Why didn't you do so in front of the Crawfords and the Tanners?" That was what Bianca had said.

Luke finally understood.

He understood why she had left him, why she said that she could not forget about Jean Langdon, and why she would match herself with some lowly employee from another company!

He thought that she had lost her mind when she said that it would be nice if he were her elder brother…

He had assumed that Bianca had some weird fetish.

There were actual reasons behind those actions, and his mother was the instigator!

"Son." Allison panicked. She kept away her hostility and put on a kindly and benevolent expression. "I'm so angry at Bianca here that I'm muddled. I thought that she's having an affair with some shady man."

Luke ignored his mother. He walked toward the coffee table, picked up the cigarette box and lighter that he left there earlier, and lit a cigarette.

He took a drag and said to Bianca, "Pack your luggage. We're leaving at nine o'clock sharp."

"…"

Bianca's cheek was swollen. Allison had slapped her hard.

Luke's eyes were transfixed on her cheek for a long time. Eventually, he looked away and left the house with his mother.
