Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 24

Bianca called Jean.

However, Jean’s phone gave her the same message. “Sorry, the number you called is currently unavailable.”

All of a sudden, Bianca felt uneasy.

She hoped that nothing bad had happened.

Next, she gave Nina a call.

Nina picked up in a flash, asking, “What’s the matter, babe?”

Bianca explained everything to her.

However, Nina said, “Maybe someone suddenly called her to play mahjong? You don’t know this, but she keeps her phone in her bag when she’s playing mahjong, so she won’t be able to hear you. As for my brother, he’s probably busy.”

Since Nina said that, Bianca did not think too much of it.

Putting down her phone, Bianca walked to the bathroom and took a shower. That helped her brighten up a lot more, and as she was drying her hair, she saw her phone ringing on the coffee table in the living room.

The caller was Jean.

“Hello.” Bianca picked up in an instant.

Jean was silent on the other end. After a long time, he seemed to hold something back before asking coldly, “Bianca Rayne, how many men have you been sneaking around with behind my back?”

“What… What do you mean? Me, sneaking around with men behind your back?” It came out of nowhere, so Bianca did not understand what he was saying.

Jean abruptly raised his volume, his voice hoarse as he said, “You’re still pretending to be innocent?! Bianca Rayne, it suddenly feels like I don’t know you at all. Tell me, which is the real you?!”

Bianca had been holding her phone, but her hand tightened around it now.

Jean was still going wild with his words, loudly protesting the unfairness of it all. “Tell me, just who am I to you? A place you come home to after your games outside? An unlucky second-choice? The honest type that’s just made to be cucked?”

Jean’s angry voice was like blades of ice, flying through the phone and plunging into Bianca’s ears.

“Calm down for now. Are you sure you aren’t misunderstanding something?” Bianca frowned, her expression far from pleasant.

Jean laughed coldly, almost cynically. “Misunderstanding? There’s no misunderstanding! Right now, I just hate how stupid I’ve been. I can’t believe I’ve trusted you unconditionally for so long, I hate that I didn’t believe what Marie said when we were overseas. Bianca, Marie wasn’t lying, was she? You slept around with other men behind my back when we were studying overseas.”

Jean’s last words were a statement, not a question.

Her partner, the man she was supposed to walk down the aisle to meet, was now doubting her integrity. Could you imagine how that felt?

Bianca was so angry that her hand shook on her phone.

Before she could even say anything, Jean added viciously, “When we were overseas, you kept saying when I invited you out, but those were all lies, weren’t they? Now that I think about it, there were so many holes in your story! If you really were working several jobs at the same time like you said you were, why didn’t I ever see any dark circles under your eyes?”

“So? If you think I was lying when I said I was working, what do you think I was doing?” Bianca’s frown deepened.

Jean lowered his voice. “Do you really need me to spell it out.”

“Say it. I want to hear it,” Bianca said.

“You forced me to, so I’ll say it.” Jean told her exactly what Marie told him four years ago. The difference was he did not believe her back then. “You’ve had six men in those five years, four of them married! They kept you as their mistresses, funding your studies and teaching you their language. You even had an abortion for them, right?”

In that minute, that one second, Bianca felt her heart die.

She lowered her head and looked at the engagement ring on her finger, hot tears filling her eyes.

It had not even been a week since they got engaged, but now her fiance was accusing her of unspeakable things across the phone.

Everyone knew how important a woman’s reputation was. He had no evidence at all, but just because Marie spouted some nonsense at him, he one-sidedly decided that she was guilty of so many charges…

Such blatant distrust from her fiance hurt her as much as outright betrayal would.

Jean was still going on, interrogating her, asking her who the man outside her house had been, saying that she could not deny that, because even the old lady in her neighborhood, Daisy, had seen them with her own eyes!

Bianca wordlessly hung up the call. She did not want to hear another word.

Her phone rang.
