Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 44

Anna was being wholly unreasonable. She yanked Bianca back and forth, messing up the latter’s hair and even scratching her on the neck several times. Bianca’s face was still smarting from before, too.

Anna grabbed Bianca’s hair and refused to let go, cursing, “A woman like you should wear a scarlet letter! Are you that desperate for money? Will you give up your dignity for money? If you like having a sugar daddy, no one would care, but don’t pull my son into this! How are you gonna pay my son back for the past five years of his youth?!”

Bianca could not stand it anymore. Wincing from the pain, she pulled her hair out of Anna’s grip and then shoved the woman away forcefully. “That’s enough!”

Anna was shoved more than a meter away, her face and neck scarlet with anger. Her finger trembled as she pointed at Bianca, “You’re a despicable, shameless hussy! How dare you act like you’re in the right!”

More people started crowding around them, watching the spectacle.

One of the older ladies tried to stop the fight, holding Anna back as she said, “Don’t be too mad, sis. You can’t just listen to a one-sided accusation and decide that your daughter-in-law is cheating on your husband, right?”

Anna knew the woman who was holding her back.

She was one of the women that had been with Daisy that day, gossiping about Bianca’s immoral affair.

“I’ll decide for myself if she’s guilty!” Anna glared at the woman. “These are my family matters, stay out of this.”

The woman saw that Anna was being completely unreasonable, so she looked at her awkwardly.

By then, Bianca had returned to her unit. She did not want to engage Jean’s family in any more pointless squabbles.

Once she got home, the first thing Bianca did was log into a house rental site and look for a new place.

Her phone rang beside her.

The caller was Nina.

Bianca picked up.

Nina sounded utterly flustered on the other end. “Bea, are you okay? Did my mom go to you? Did you bump into her?”

“I did, but it’s alright now.” Bianca knew that Nina was worried about her, and she did not want Nina to worry.

“I’m so freaking mad at my mom and brother right now!” Nina’s voice was choked with sobs. “I’ll come over right now. Wait for me.”

Before Bianca could tell her not to, Nina hung up.

Instead of calling Nina again, Bianca sent her a WeChat message. “Don’t be mad. It’ll all pass.”

“You’re so kind, Bea. My family is in the wrong here.” Nina responded quickly and even added a crying emoji.

Bianca lowered her head. What else could she do but be kind?

After almost an hour, Nina finally arrived at Bianca’s neighborhood.

When she rang the doorbell, Bianca opened the door for her.

Nina went in and changed into the slippers. Soon enough, she saw Bianca’s face and went forward to look at her closer in surprise. Her eyes widened. “Did my mom… hit you?”

Bianca nodded.

“She’s crazy!” Nina frowned, speechless. Sounding utterly confused, she continued, “I’m really starting to think that my brother and mother have lost their minds. They would rather believe a resident gossipmonger instead of their closest family. I mean, they don’t even believe me.”

The two of them went into Bianca’s bedroom.

Nina saw the website on Bianca’s computer. It was a site for rentals.

“Are you going to move?”

“Yeah. That’s the only way I can get some peace and quiet,” Bianca said helplessly.

Nina went to the fridge to grab a drink. When she returned to the bedroom, she looked at the rental information and said, “Why don’t you get a two-room place? I can move in with you, and we can watch each other’s backs.”

Bianca looked at Nina. She did not want Nina to move out of her house and stay with her.

That would probably alienate Nina from her parents and brother.

Nina seemed to be able to read Bianca’s concerns. She said, “Don’t worry, I’m not moving out just for you. I’ve actually wanted to get out since the second year of college. My parents got into fights every day…”

Bianca had never seen her parents together in her life.
