Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 37

Blanche opened his mouth to say something, but then he looked around to give his tall father behind him a cautious look. After that, he turned back around and shook his head at Bianca. “No, we’re taking you to the department store.”

“The department store? Why?”

As soon as she said that, Bianca immediately remembered that there was no more mineral water in the fridge. The kid was probably worried that she did not have any water to drink when she felt thirsty.

“We don’t need to go to the store. I’ll boil myself some water later.”

What she really needed now was for the two of them to leave, ASAP.

However, the boy shook his head adamantly. “Nuh-uh, I’m worried you won’t have anything to eat or drink…”

Helpless, Bianca looked at Luke, signaling at him to help her. As his parent, she hoped that he would take the boy away.

Instead, Luke patted his son’s head and said to her mildly, “Lanie is so worried that he might even insist on staying here with you tonight.”

Bianca, “...”

There was nothing she could say.

To tell the truth, if her fate really had to be tied to a Crawford, she sincerely hoped she could meet Blanche Crawford every once in a while, so she could experience the warmth of having a child by her side.

That could help her deal with some of her heartache and remorse for the child she had lost.

Even if it was only an illusion of motherhood, she still wanted to savor it now and then.

As for Luke Crawford, Bianca prayed that she would never meet him again.

Even at work, it would be best if they went their completely separate ways and never encountered each other.

She had only known that rich and powerful man for less than half a month, but she had already been targeted by Charlotte Shaw, that heiress who was born into authority and never understood the concept of committing a crime.

Bianca did not even dare to imagine what worse encounters she might have if she continued to be involved with Luke Crawford.

…

Wearing the off-white dress she had come in, Bianca picked up her wallet and left the hospital with the father-and-son duo.

Luke walked in front of her.

Bianca instinctively kept her distance from him. She was a sparrow and he was an imperial dragon, so they did not match at all when they stood together. She did not want to embarrass herself.

The store was right outside the hospital, less than a hundred meters away.

As such, Luke did not bother driving.

As they walked down the street, Bianca was sensitive enough to notice that she attracted the occasional gaze. After passersby looked at her, they would look at the man in front of her. He looked like he had walked out of a finance magazine.

At the entrance to the store.

Bianca took a shopping cart to the door.

The entire way here, Luke would glance back at Bianca after every few steps. He was worried about her.

At the same time, she clearly did not want to walk next to him.

When he looked back this time, he saw that she was pushing a huge shopping cart.

That was when he suddenly remembered that shopping did require a cart. Although he had never done anything like this before, he just had to look around coolly to see how the other man did it.

Luke walked up to her and told her in a voice that brooked no argument. “I’ll do it.”

“It’s okay, I can do it.” Bianca did not dare to leave it to him.

“Can’t you see that the other men are doing it?” Luke looked at her deeply. As she was still stunned, his large hand caressed the back of her head while he pulled the cart in front of him with his other hand.

Bianca looked around her and instantly felt awkward to the point of speechlessness.

Yes, the other men were the ones pushing the carts, but those men were usually the husbands. It was perfectly natural for husbands to push the carts for their wives.

However, she was nothing more than Luke’s lowly employee.

It was fine for an employee to push the cart for her employer, but when an employer did it for his employee…

Whatever. He could do whatever he liked.

Bianca frowned slightly, looking at the man’s tall and upright back in front of her. All she could do was pick up his son’s hand and follow behind him.

T Corporation had countless employees from all over this busy city. Bianca walked around timidly, worried that she would bump into one of them. There was no way she would be able to explain herself if that happened…

There were plenty of shoppers inside when they walked into the store.

Luke pushed the cart inside and took two steps before looking back at Bianca and Blanche. It really was quite crowded, and every so often someone would bump into Bianca.

“Walk in front of me, you two,” the man commanded with a frown.

The boy dragged Bianca up front.
