Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285 Luke Is A Scoundrel Too

Lacey wailed even louder after she heard her husband reprimand her.

Eventually, she lifted her head and looked at Daniel. "Now you blame me for pampering the kid, but what have you done? All you know is make money. Sometimes you don't come home at night, and sometimes you fly out for business trips for extended periods. Don't you know your son's personality? Do you think that I alone can discipline him?" ’I have to support the family. You don't have a job, so how am I supposed to pay the bills if I don't work hard?" Daniel said.

He had toiled hard for the family over so many years, and now his wife was blaming her for not taking care of their son. That made him angry. 1

As Daniel and Lacey argued, Xavier eventually came to.

His head that was already throbbing hurt even more when he saw his parents almost getting physical with each other.

'Alright, that's enough. Can't you just let me rest?" Xavier said with an annoyed expression.

Ever since he was a child, his parents had never stopped fighting with each other. Sometimes, they would throw vases and plates at each other. When they got serious, they would threaten to wreck the house.

Through the years, as they grew older, their fights did not lessen. Instead, they became even more frequent with increasing intensity.

That was why Xavier would rather hang out with other hooligans instead of going home.

No child wanted to watch their parents argue and fight.

"Are you OK, Xavier? Why are you hurt again? I've already told you so many times that you should stay away from trouble when you're out there. Look at you, you've just gotten out of prison not too long ago and you're already injured so heavily. Don't you know how distressed I am?" As Lacey spoke, she began to wipe her tears again.

Daniel sighed. He looked at Xavier lying on the bed and wished that his son had died. There would be one less menace on Earth that way.

Then, he shook his head to clear that thought. He could not abandon his only son.

Xavier was irritated by his mother's incessant crying. "Alright, Mom. I'll stay out of trouble. Stop crying," he said impatiently.

His eyes flashed with hostility when he thought how Luke had thrashed him.

He would eventually repay this grudge.

In all his years, he had never been beaten so badly before.

Even while in prison, he had been the bully and never the bullied.

'Tell me honestly, Xavier, who's the wretch that hurt you like this? I'll make sure that you get your justice!" That was the first time that Lacey made such a resolute promise.

Xavier did not plan on telling his parents, in case they worried about him.

However, he thought of how Luke was related to his family and came up with an idea. "Who else? It's your favorite nephew, Luke Crawford. Don't you know how shameless Luke is, Mom? Bianca is my wife, but he's claiming her as his own. Not only is he making me a cuckold, but he barged into my room when I was making out in bed with my wife, which is an entirely normal thing to do in a perfectly legal marriage. He injured me and took her away. Have you ever seen a cousin who behaved that way?" 'What? It's because of Luke? That's impossible. Luke might be quiet and reserved, but I know that he's an intelligent boy. Could there be a misunderstanding?" Daniel did not believe Xavier's claim. He was defending his nephew.

He knew that his sister Allison was not reliable, but Luke had been an outstanding child. Daniel did not believe that Luke would do something so reckless.
