Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 201

The black Bentley limousine did not drive into the courtyard but instead was parked outside.

Luke was not driving his car.

After Jason parked the car, he got out and opened the door to the back seat.

The boss and his two children stepped out.

Just as usual, Luke was impeccably dressed in his business suit and leather shoes. However, one could easily tell from his face that he was more vibrant than usual, as though he had heard some good news.

Rainie was in her father's arms, smelling of her father's cologne, while Lanie ran excitedly into the courtyard wearing his backpack.

"Hello, handsome young man!" One of the female colleagues greeted the boss's son.

'This trip is so worth it!

'The amenities might not be as good as the city, but I get to see the boss's handsome face and his cute kids!

'How blissful!'

Lanie looked around the crowd but did not find Miss Bea, though he did not forget his manners and returned the greeting, "Good morning, Pretty Miss!"

The female colleague who was called "Pretty Miss" grinned widely.

Joe put himself in charge and tried hard to keep things under his control.

He stepped forward and shook hands with Jason.

While Jason sat down for breakfast and everyone chatted, a female colleague noticed that the boss was walking alone toward the two-story building.

That was where everyone's rooms were.

She could vaguely see him carrying a paper bag in his right hand, and it seemed to be holding food.

'The boss is so caring toward his cousin's wife…'

Indeed, Jason did not have the time for breakfast before he started driving. The two children woke up very early and insisted on coming too.

"Rainie, can you tell Uncle Doyle what you want for breakfast?" Jason pointed at sliced bread and milk with his left hand, and at buns and oatmeal with his right hand.

"Oatmeal, please," Rainie said as she took out a picture book from her backpack and showed it to the adults around her. "Daddy bought this for me. I'll get 100 marks if I read it…"

In the upstairs room.

Bianca was not woken up by the commotion downstairs and the knock on her door, but she was roused from her sleep when her phone vibrated.

She thought that her phone was faulty because it always turned itself off, even though there was still 60% of power left.

She was planning to order a new phone online, or she might go to town and find a reliable store.

It was entirely up to luck if she could pick up a call…

The call was from an unknown number, but she answered it anyway.

Lacey's voice was heard over the phone. "Bianca? I'm Lacey, your mother-in-law."

Bianca was curled up in her blanket. "I know who you are. Is there anything?" She spoke diplomatically.

Lacey did not appreciate Bianca's courteous yet distant tone of voice. It sounded as though Bianca wanted to distance herself from the Tanner family.

"I'll cut to the chase. It's like this. I've heard from my son that you're pregnant with his child. I'd like to give you some advice, both as your mother-in-law and as a fellow woman, that you should rest more when you're pregnant. Don't overwork yourself. Why did you go to that small town when you can work comfortably in A City?"

Lacey was expecting Xavier to bring her back when he went to the town yesterday.

She did not expect that her son would return alone.
