Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 206

Bianca shook her head woodenly, indicating that she was OK. Worried that his sullen expression might frighten the child, she hastily moved away from his arms and nodded at him as a sign of thanks.

Luke's arms were empty all of a sudden. He looked at Bianca, who was bringing his children away to play somewhere else, with a mixture of care and blame as resentment grew in his heart.

He was not happy about how coldly Bianca had responded to him earlier, even when he considered that she was doing so because other people might see. He was also not happy about his excessive desire to claim her as his own. How he wished that he could walk over, hug her in his arms, and announce to everyone that Bianca Rayne was Luke Crawford's woman!

Not only that, the woman had given birth to children for him!

Not one, but two!

Bianca lowered her head, nodded at the town administrators' feet as a greeting, then ran away with her head lowered as though she was escaping. She was worried that the town administrators might misunderstand.

"How tender and loving, Boss Crawford! Why haven't I seen that side of yours whenever we have dinner?" A middle-aged male town administrator laughed and joked when he saw that scene.

Luke's masculinity was uniquely attractive.

He looked mature and dependable, yet his physical features were striking. Not even many male celebrities shared his charms.

With his sculpted and masculine features, especially that profound gaze, any woman would have fallen for him in just one look.

Unfortunately, that almost-impeccable man had never shown any interest to any woman who had presented themselves to him.

Everyone standing around that handsome yet forbidding boss witnessed how he fixed his gaze on that unremarkable woman…

Bianca heard what the town administrator said as she ran away. She became more fearful and ran away even farther.

During the survey of the river, Bianca hid away from Luke in case someone else saw their interactions and gossiped.

They did not have time for lunch, and so they had an early dinner.

The boss and Jason had dinner arrangements with the town administrators, and they were absent at the communal table.

According to one of the veteran colleagues, business dinners with administrators were merely a preliminary act to something more important that happened after dinner.

There were many ways men could find entertainment, some of which were beyond normal imagination.

Everyone knew about the fact that the boss had hugged Bianca's waist while they were at the river.

Considering that Bianca was the boss's cousin's wife and that she was carrying the boss's son in her hands, it was normal for him to help her steady herself.

They thought their boss to have a warm and considerate interior despite his cold and distant exterior, at least toward his relatives. No one thought of anything further than that.

As they chatted, Joe decided to speak up for men. "Don't keep on saying 'Oh, men are just like that.' What about men? We're not born to be objects of your criticism!"

A female colleague chuckled derisively. "There's nothing wrong with you because you don't catch our attention anyway."

Then, she turned to look at Bianca. "Bianca, you don't mind us gossiping about the boss, right?"

They were eager to gossip, but they had to be considerate about Bianca's feelings.

Bianca was a little cautious, though she said, "Go ahead. I'm not that… close to the boss anyway."
