Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 42

After Luke left, Bianca stood at the door and stared for a long time.

He was right, and the doctor’s diagnosis was right too. However, she did not know if she was right. Her body and senses had completely betrayed her.

There would probably be very few women who would not feel anything for such an accomplished and capable man.

However, when faced with a man as superior as Luke Crawford, many women would appraise themselves. They would consider if they had any right to feel anything for him, and what the consequences would be.

Aside from someone like Charlotte Shaw, which normal woman would be able to match up to him?

Bianca knew herself well, so she had managed to keep her defenses up all this while. Today, though, when he forced her so overbearingly, her body had thrown in the towel and betrayed. It almost felt as though this body was not hers…

“Your body will speak the truth your mouth does not.” That sentence was actually extremely discriminatory, but today, Bianca had to tragically admit that there was some truth in it.

She hated herself the way she was now.

She hated her body, which succumbed to his rough touch so easily, even more.

That night, Bianca did not sleep well at all.

First, she had to clean the soiled sheets before she could lie down in bed. Even then, her mind was filled with too many things, and her early period made her body feel exceedingly uncomfortable too.

…

At Crawford Manor.

Blanche stood in the first-floor living room, looking solemnly at his younger sister, who was drinking milk on the first second-floor landing. “Take your time, drink it slowly.”

Just then, Old Master Crawford entered the house from the yard and looked around before asking, “Your father isn’t back yet?”

Rainie’s mouth was covered in a milk mustache as she shook her head at her great-grandfather.

“He isn’t at work either.” Louis Crawford sat on the black leather couch, placing his legs on the coffee table and putting his phone down as he addressed the old man, “Maybe my brother has a dog outside.”

“A dog?” Old Master Crawford leaned against his cane, but he could not figure it out. His elder grandson, Luke, was always a bit of a neat freak. Why would he have a dog? Why would he keep it outside?

There was a huge garden right here at home. He had plenty of space to keep a dog here.

Blanche looked around, his impish eyes turning. He hurriedly wiped his little sister’s mouth before running back to his uncle and saying with a grin, “Uncle Louis, does my dad really have a dog?”

He really loved dogs!

“You kids and old men don’t get it. I meant, my brother may have found himself a b— I mean, a female dog.” Louis had wanted to say “b*tch”, but there were two kids here, so he refrained.

If he actually said it out loud, his grandfather would probably beat him to death with his walking cane!

This time, the old man saw through the generation gap with his younger grandson and somehow understood what the latter meant!

Old Master Crawford sat on the couch and tapped his cane onto the marble floor, deep in thought— True, Luke was not too young anymore. He had children, yes, but he never had any women with him. It was inevitable that…

He was a man, after all, and men had needs.

Old Master Crawford remembered the call he had received from the Shaws that afternoon,

Director Shaw was adamant on having his daughter marry into the Crawfords, but at the same time, his older grandson might have a woman out there.

What should he do now?

…

The next day, the sky cleared after the rain.

Bianca got up early in the morning.

It was rare for her to get the week off, so she took the supplement prescription Dr. Joyce gave her last night and left the house.

The department store was right next to the subway station, so Bianca walked toward it.

It was a working day, and there were far fewer people inside than there usually were on a Sunday.

Bianca brought her shopping cart to the shelf with the brown sugar and put one packet into her cart before heading off to get some fresh ginger.
