Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 40

“He’s asking you a question. Are you crying?” Luke’s hoarse voice was pressed against her back. He kissed her, again and again, moving up her spine and reaching her earlobe. “Tell me, are you crying?”

Just then, there was a loud clap of thunder outside, followed by a flash of lightning.

Bianca took that chance to bark at him, saying, “You’re such a thug!”

“That’s right. In public, I am a gentleman to everyone. But in private, I am your personal thug.” Luke bit her ear from behind and licked her back and forth.

One of his hands reached around her slender waist at the same time, reaching to touch her round belly button.

The man’s rough and cracked thumb rubbed her belly button back and forth…

Bianca could not stand the way she was caressing her, and she instinctively fought against his finger on her belly button. That was why she arched her body back and raised her head.

That way, though, she made it much easier for Luke to press his body against hers…

Jean was still pouring his heart to her outside. “I was out of hand that day, Bianca, and I shouldn’t have said those things. I’m sorry. But you don’t know how my mom scolded me that day! She called me a piece of trash, said I couldn’t even keep a hold on my own woman!

“The lady in your neighborhood told my mom that you brought a boyfriend home, and that you were extremely intimate with each other downstairs. When I connected that to the flowers you received, I… I felt my head hurt as though it was going to explode!

“How much must imported flowers cost? I don’t know, but I know that I would never splurge on something like that, considering how much I earn right now. I was jealous! Jealous that someone else could provide you with more!”

Jean paused after that outburst, thinking that Bianca was listening to him on the other side.

“My mom was only angry because she likes you as a daughter-in-law too much. Although we had just gotten engaged, my mom already considered herself your mother-in-law. Tell me, which mother-in-law would be able to stand having another man sneaking into her daughter-in-law’s house?”

There was no reply from the other side of the door, only the sound of a body hitting the door board. It made him think that she was still sobbing on the other side.

“Bianca, can you come out once you’re done crying? You just have to explain to my mom and apologize…”

Bianca’s hands and body were plastered onto the door, without a single gap between her person and the wood. She had nowhere to go, neither forward nor back…

The man behind her kept trying to challenge her sanity.

Jean’s words reached her ears.

Bianca thought to herself bitterly, ‘Yes, nothing happened before this. I was never intimate with Luke Crawford, and we only exchanged a few words here in the neighborhood.’

In fact, she had even gotten into a bit of an argument with Luke that day.

As for that Daisy woman, she had even told Luke off for his cold and grumpy expression, so how could she just turn around and say that they were being intimate?

The tragic part was some people believed in the lies of a stranger.

It was not only Mrs. Langdon who believed them, but Jean too.

Even if she set that misunderstanding aside, Bianca never forgot what else Jean said. She could never forget how he had accused her of being a mistress to foreign men when they were abroad…

When he accused her of that, he did not even give her a chance to explain. He decided on his own that she must have done it, and that was the only reason she managed to complete her studies and return to this country…

Worse still, the only evidence behind all of Jean’s absurd claims was nothing more than Marie Rayne’s lies.

It was so easy to make Jean believe in the worst of her, huh…

Bianca did not know if Marie was good at fibbing, or if Jean really was so stupid.

When that occurred to her, she felt her mood fall into a slump.

Before she could wallow into her depression, though…

Luke punished her for it.

“Ah… No… Oh… Ah!”

Bianca almost melted under his breath.

Luke’s eyes were as red as fire. He looked down at her body, at her flesh pressed between his body and the door.

The soft mounds on her chest were even fairer than the white door.

Like did not seem to hear Jean’s voice outside the room at all. The moment she fell limp, he forcefully turned her body around and made her face him.

As Bianca was forced to face that man head-on, her face felt hot and extremely numb…
