Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 197

Bianca was nowhere to be seen.

Xavier might not care about what other people thought of him, but he did not want to be the subject of ridicule of the employees of T Corporation.

He left the town so that he would not look too desperate in pursuing Bianca.

Walter kept the divorce agreements and the signature pen back into his briefcase.

Then, he went to his car and followed the "defendant" of the divorce case out of town.

As he drove, Walter took a swig of an energy drink. It was the first time in almost thirty years of his life that he had to personally track down a defendant.

No other people would enjoy such treatment.

Strictly speaking, he could not be bothered with divorce cases, unless they involved billionaires!

After the cars left, the colleagues upstairs started talking among each other.

Their room doors were open. While Joe was distributing bottled water bought from the grocery store among the female colleagues, he overheard one of them saying, "How amazing. Even Walter Long is here."

"Why is he here?" The other colleague did not know what was going on.

"Why else? I heard that Walter Long and Bianca's Cayenne husband left her room one after the other. Walter mentioned something about a divorce agreement, and Bianca's Cayenne husband was like, 'I've never agreed to the divorce. I've never even thought about it.'"

'It's obvious that Bianca wants the divorce…

'The man driving the Cayenne, who is the rumored cousin of the boss, does not want the divorce…

'Going by that logic, Bianca must be the one who hired Walter to communicate with her husband.'

Joe's hand that was holding a can of Red Bull froze in mid-air.

"Just who is Bianca from the design department? Not anyone can hire Walter Long even if they have money. That's Walter Long, the famous lawyer, not any lawyer from a firm on the street."

Even if Bianca had the money, she did not have the status.

"I don't know." The colleague shrugged.

Meanwhile, Bianca was standing in front of her grandfather's house.

Before going to the small town, Bianca looked for her grandfather. She reminded him to take his medication regularly and to rest often.

Her grandfather told her that she should focus on her work and not always think about him. It was good to be ambitious, but she should not overwork herself.

Before Bianca left, she had asked for the key to her grandfather's house.

While Xavier was sleeping in the house, Bianca received a text message from Walter.

Walter could only find the general area from the provided location. He did not know the room that Bianca and Xavier were in.

Bianca carefully got up without rousing Xavier, then met up with Walter in the courtyard.

After giving him the room number, Walter told Bianca that she could leave the rest up to him. He also suggested that she stay away from her room for now, in case Xavier threw a tantrum.

For her colleagues at T Corporation, the dingy little town had nothing going on. She understood how they felt; after all, they had grown up in the big city.

Bianca was different. She had stayed in places with worse conditions. Moreover, the "dingy little town" had special meaning to her.

She retrieved the key, opened the heavy and decaying steel gate, and stepped into the courtyard of the old house.

The abandoned courtyard held many of Bianca's memories in her childhood and youth.

When she was six years old, her grandfather raised geese.

They fed the young geese with grass. Her grandfather used a cleaver to chop fresh grass into tiny bits on a stone block, and she would place the chopped grass into a large bowl for the geese.
