Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 215

"It's not that…" Bianca's denial was weak. "I know that even if someone catches us in the act, you have the clout to suppress the news. I'm just a little tired after a full day of work, and I just want to go back to my room and rest."

Luke's gaze on her was profound. He leaned close to her, deliberately lowered his voice, and spoke each syllable clearly. "I'm not going to suppress the news if the scandal breaks out. When I saw the news this morning that you are his legally wedded wife, I was so jealous that I was losing my mind. Now that you've appeared on the news with him, do you still mind that you'll have a scandal with me?"

Bianca was worried that the children might hear. She might be surprised, but she kept her voice low, "That was just an accident. There's nothing to be jealous of. Don't be childish."

She knew that Xavier bore no love for him, and he only forced her into a marriage out of malice. Even if he had a shred of affection for him, there was nothing to be proud of about that warped marriage.

However, she was not a man, and she would not understand how men felt when they were jealous. Bianca did not speak any further in case that irked him. She was more concerned that her children would be the victims of his anger on the drive back home.

Without her looking after the kids, she was worried that the man might mistreat them.

After all, she noticed that the two children were unnaturally quiet when they were near their father.

Luke might be overcome by jealousy and envy, but Bianca remained lucid.

She could not leave with him.

"If you don't let me affirm my dominance this one time, I don't think I can ever forgive you." Luke's expression was sullen as he looked at Jason walking toward them. "If I'm desperate enough, I don't mind sending our photos in bed to the media. I think it should be quite exciting when they find out that you're also an adulteress who has an affair with another man."

The man turned around.

Bianca remained rooted on the ground. Her hand clenched her work laptop tightly, and those words replayed in her mind.

'Photos in bed…

'How does he have our photos in bed?'

Bianca admitted that she was a light sleeper. As far as she remembered, neither of them had touched their phones while at the old house or the room.

Where did he get the photos in bed?

Jason walked over, greeted Bianca diplomatically, then got in the car and drove away.

Jason both respected and feared his boss's woman. He did not know whether to treat her as a colleague or as a friend.

After the black Bentley disappeared from view, Bianca remained rooted on the spot.

'Maybe I'm not actually a light sleeper after all? Did I not notice that he woke up in the middle of the night to take my photos?'

She blushed intensely when she was reminded of the man's unending vigor and how she had almost passed out in those intense make-out sessions. Perhaps she had actually passed out, and the man had taken her photos…

When she walked blankly with her colleagues back to the courtyard, she sent a text message to Luke.

[When did you take the photos?]

Bianca kept an eye on her phone for the next ten minutes, but he did not reply.

[Did you see the message I sent earlier? If you took the photos, I hope that you would delete them.]

Bianca sent him a second message.

She wanted to send him a voice message, but she was worried that Jason or the children might overhear when Luke played the message.

About half an hour later, the colleagues started to prepare dinner in the kitchen. Bianca put her phone away and went to help.

It was half-past six when they finished dinner, though the sky was not dark yet.

She had not received any reply to her messages. Bianca guessed that he must be still angry. She had no choice but to call him…

She also wanted to ask if he had taken his anger out on the children…
