Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2159

Wanda carried the tea upstairs and saw that the two old masters were in fact sitting in the second-floor living room playing chess.

“Dad, Old Master Crawford, have some tea first. The refreshments will only be done later.” Wanda did not mention the incident with Jean and Marie.

However, Old Man Rayne had heard about it from the maid. He waited until she put down the tea before asking, “Has that girl left?”

“Dad, you know about it…” Wanda sighed resignedly.

“The maid was the one who helped me after I woke up from my nap. How could I not know? Hasn’t it been some time since she came here? Why is she back?” Old Man Rayne may be old and in need of affection from his family, but he did not have even the slightest bit of affection for Marie.

He thought that Marie was gone for good. He did not expect her to come again today, which made him feel disgusted.

In Wanda’s haste to rush out, she forgot to inform the maid to not tell the old master about this. She then glanced at Old Master Crawford.

Old Man Rayne noticed it and said, “It’s fine for him to hear about it. Just tell me what’s going on.”

Old Master Crawford added, “Yes, yes, don’t treat me as an outsider. I want to hear what’s going on too.”

“That child has a boyfriend and said that she brought her boyfriend over to visit you. She even said that she bought a bunch of gifts for you,” Wanda had no choice but to say as Old Master Crawford also knew about what had happened between the Rayne family and Marie.

She felt ashamed to say it in front of him.

“She wouldn’t be so kind…” Old Man Rayne picked up his teacup and took a slow sip.

Old Master Crawford was shrewd enough to notice the grim look on her face and asked, “Who is that girl’s boyfriend?”

“It’s Jean Langdon.” Wanda did not try to hide it as she reckoned that Jean and Marie would not stop there. They might still come over again. Fortunately, it was hard for the old master to walk, so he would not step out of the house.

He would not be able to catch both of them red-handed and get worked up.

“Him?” Old Man Rayne was very familiar with that name. Even after all these years, he remembered all the things Jean had done to Bianca back then because of his unrequited love.

“Didn’t they break up?” said Old Man Rayne as he remembered clearly that Jean and Marie had broken up after getting together.

“I don’t know why they’re together again. They even said that they wanted to visit you, but the problem has been resolved,” said Wanda. She saw Old Master Crawford open up the chessboard and helped set up the pieces.

“Jean is a troublemaker as well. I heard Luke mention that he caused trouble at a bar because of a woman and the person he beat up was sent to the ICU. After he survived the critical period, he was moved to the general ward but had a sudden heart attack. The doctors weren’t there at the time, so Luca was the one who had to rescue the man,” said Old Master Crawford with a tone of admiration for Luca.

“Inform the management about these two and tell the security guards to not let them in.” The old master just wanted to live in peace and quiet without being disturbed by all of this.

He also wanted his granddaughter to be by his side, but the granddaughter he had in mind was certainly not Marie.

“I know,” said Wanda. When Old Master Crawford was telling the story about Jean hurting people, she noticed that he had mentioned a name. She asked out of curiosity, “Say, Old Master Crawford, are you close with Luca?”

“Yes. Speaking of which, she’s also my benefactor. Luke got her to check my pulse once, and she said that there was no big issue, just some geriatric diseases. Then, I had her stay back for dinner. After she drank a bowl of tonic, guess what happened?” Old Master Crawford purposely stopped at a cliffhanger.

Old Man Rayne also had a good impression of Luca, so he was interested in what the other man had to say. “What happened?”
