Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 445

Chapter 445 (1) Luke Loves Me, And I Love Him

Leia came into the washroom.

Bianca nodded gently at Leia. "Ms. Norman."

Then, she walked toward the washbasin.

She squeezed some liquid soap onto her hands and noticed Leia's exquisite but cold face in the mirror.

Leia might look gentle, and she was laughing, but Bianca felt unnerved.

Bianca knew that Leia was not as innocent as she looked.

She did not forget Leia's provocation in the shopping mall and how Leia had tormented her during the commercial shoot at T Corporation.

She also remembered how she was hurt by the berserk Persian cat at Blue Honors...

Even though all the evidence pointed to Leia's assistant, Bianca was not so stupid to believe that. She knew that Leia was the mastermind, but she did not call her out because of Leia's elevated status.

If Leia was not going to speak, Bianca was not going to bother either.

However, she could see that Leia had something to say to her. "Is there anything, Ms. Norman?" Bianca opened her mouth first.

Leia turned on the other tap and washed her hands. "You look fatter. Looks like you've been living the good life!"

Bianca was not interested in small talk. "What do you want to say, Ms. Norman?" She said coldly.

Leia smirked. "You're a smart one, but you're boring! Are you sure that you're going to marry Luke on May 1st? Do you think you deserve him, Bianca Rayne? Your looks are mediocre, and you come from an unremarkable family. There are so many better women in A City. I don't know why Luke likes you. Even I'm..."

Bianca interjected, "So what does that have to do with you? Luke loves me, and I love him. That is enough."

Leia was taller than Bianca by half a head because she was wearing four- inch high heels.

She towered over Bianca as though she was superior. "You're no match for Luke. I hope that you realize that soon and leave him on your own accord."

Bianca glanced at Leia impassively. She did not display a hint of fear or cowardice.

Leia was becoming flustered from how Bianca was looking at her. She took out a check from her handbag and handed it to Bianca. "This is ten million dollars. Leave Luke! I don't think you can make this sum of money on your own. Leave A City and somewhere else to live. Otherwise, I won't go easy on you!"

Bianca reached out and took the check...

She smiled calmly when she saw the figure on the check. "You're so generous, Ms. Norman. I can already buy a small mansion with this money."

Leia's disdain grew.

'How could Luke like such a materialistic woman? Isn't he disgusted?

'I should get Luke to come over and see the true colors of the woman he loves!1

However, what Bianca did next shocked her.

Bianca pinched the check with her fingers, then tore it into pieces, bit by bit. Then, under Leia's wrathful eye, threw it into a trash can.

"Luke and I are destined to marry, Ms. Norman. I hope that you can accept this fact, and I also hope that you can let go of the things that can never belong to you. There's no meaning in doing all this. I'll just treat it as though all this never happened. Bye."

Leia was furious at Bianca's stubbornness.

The expression on her face changed several times. She was frustrated by how helpless she was.

Bianca wanted to pull open the washroom door, but Leia stubbornly stood in her way. "I don't care what you think, but I will definitely win the heart of any man that I have my eye on! I will not allow a lowly woman like you to lay a finger on the man I love!"

Bianca laughed out of her anger. Leia had said that Luke was her man! Why was that woman so shameless?

"Ms. Norman, you should know that Luke's current girlfriend is me. Has he ever acknowledged your presence? As far as I know, he has always ignored you. Not only that, but he has also rejected your advances. Did you forget about that? Should I get Luke to tell you that personally?" "You... you..."

Leia was at a loss for a retort. Her chest was heaving from anger.

After calming down, Leia tried to use a gentle voice. "We're both women, Bianca. You should know that a woman's heart is fragile. Luke is the only man I love. How about you let me have a go?

"There are so many fish in the sea, and Luke isn't the only man in A City. Furthermore, there are so many men who love you. Why would you miss the forest for the trees? I really love Luke. I think I'm even getting depressed because of him... I know that you're a kind-hearted woman. You wouldn't want to see me suffering from depression, right?"

Leia tried to evoke Bianca's pity. She grabbed Bianca's arm and did not let go.

Leia squeezed some sparkling tears into her eyes. "Please, if you can let me have Luke, I can satisfy any of your wishes... Bianca, can't you leave him and stop interfering in our relationship?"

Bianca wanted to burst out laughing.

She had seen her fair share of shameless people, but she had never seen one as shameless as Leia Norman.

Can one trade relationships just like that?

Moreover, Leia was the one who was interfering with Luke and Bianca's relationship. Leia made it sound as though she was the victim!

No one else could twist the story like her!

Bianca coldly pushed Leia away. "I'm sorry, Ms. Norman. No matter what you say, I won't let Luke go! If you have time on May 1st, feel free to come and witness the ceremony!"

Seeing that Bianca was stubborn, Leia suddenly let out a burst of unnerving laughter, which caused goosebumps to break out on Bianca's skin. "Bianca, I can guarantee that you will not be married to Luke on May 1st. Do you want to bet on it?"

Under Leia's unnerving gaze, Bianca walked away...

As they left the Norman residence, Bianca was obsessed by that thought. What did Leia mean? Why did she say that they would not be married on May 1st?

As Luke drove the car, he noticed that Bianca was not in a good mood. He patted her head with his right and said, "What's wrong? Why do you look unhappier after leaving the Norman residence?"

Chapter 445 (2) Tell the World That You Are My Children's Mother

Bianca looked at Luke as she remembered what he had said at the Norman residence earlier. She hesitated for a while but asked anyway," You said that our wedding ceremony is on the 1st of May. What is going on?"

Luke slowed down his driving by a little.

As the man swept his gaze at Bianca, he flashed an indulgent smile. "I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to announce it earlier. Bianca, I want to hold a grand wedding reception for you on the 1st of May. I want to announce to the world that you are the mother of my children and the love of my life." "Are... are we really going to be married on the 1st of May? This... this is a little too sudden." Bianca was surprised by the sudden news, but at the same time, she found it hard to accept.

Luke's grip on the steering wheel tightened a little. "Don't you want to marry me?"

Bianca's attitude made Luke think that she was hesitating, or that she did not want to marry him.

At that moment, he felt as though his heart that was burning with excitement was put out by a bucket of cold water. That made him feel uneasy.

Bianca quickly explained, "No, I didn't mean that. It's just that the news is too sudden. I'm mentally prepared that we will eventually marry, and I’ve even fantasized how the scene would look like. It's just that I didn't expect it to come so soon..."

Their love was like a plant that had sprouted a long time ago. However, it had never been watered and nurtured by love, and so it lay dormant and was even close to wilting.

It was only later that they showered it with tender care later, which caused buds to form.

Now that their plant of love was going to bloom, Bianca was happier than anyone else.

Luke was relieved when he heard that. "You don't have to think too much.

You only have to wait to be my bride."

He was not worried that Bianca would change her mind.

He knew that he loved Bianca deeply and how deeply Bianca loved him. He desired to bring Bianca home as his legally wedded wife.

Bianca sighed, and her brows furrowed a little. "But your mother hasn't accepted my existence yet, and my grandfather and aunt don't know about the news..."

Luke looked at her with a smile and told her his plan. "You don't have to worry about my mother. I don't need her permission to marry anyone I want. We won't be living with her after marriage, so she won't give you any trouble. As for your grandfather and aunt, I'll pay a visit in the next few days. We should send out the invitations soon, then we can prepare for the ceremony. Right, we should take our wedding photos in April. The weather will be more suitable for a pregnant woman."

Bianca felt a twinge in her nose. The man seemed aloof and uncaring, but he had planned everything without her knowledge.

However, she felt extremely uneasy when she thought of Leia's warning, i

Bianca wanted to tell Luke that Leia had given her a check often million dollars to leave him while she was in the washroom. Looking at the man's sculpted face, she did not manage to tell him the incident.

After all, Luke had already made it clear to the Normans that they would be married in May.

As socialites, the Normans cared about their reputation. No matter how much they wanted Luke to be their son-in-law, their pride would not allow Leia to step in between other people's relationships...

In the kitchen of the Norman residence.

Queenie was wearing an apron, washing vegetables and pork ribs.

Leia came in.

"Let me help, Mom," Leia enthusiastically helped her mother pick out vegetables, but she was frowning when her mother did not see.

She looked at her perfectly manicured hands being smothered by the dirty vegetable leaves. Some dirt got under her fingernails. Leia felt disgusted and wanted to throw it away, but she forced herself to continue to help.

Queenie did not see the disgust in Leia's eyes.

She felt sorry for her daughter when she saw Leia's slender and delicate fingernails soaked in the water-filled sink. ’You should go and keep your grandma company, Leia. You look like you lost weight, and you ought to eat more meat. I'll be making pork rib stew today. Look at your hand. The injury hasn't healed, so how can you soak it in water? I understand that you care for me, but you should take care of yourself too. You should go out. There's a lot of smoke in the kitchen!" "I'm fine, Mom. My hand has almost recovered. It's not as delicate as you think. Washing vegetables isn't difficult, but too bad that I don't know how to cook. If I can cook as well as you, I'd cook for you and Dad every day..." Leia continued to pick the vegetables while speaking sweetly.

Queenie gave up on convincing her daughter. "You're so stubborn. Oh well, just make sure that the injury on your hand doesn't worsen."

Queenie gave up on convincing her daughter. ’You're so stubborn. Oh well, just make sure that the injury on your hand doesn't worsen."

Leia nodded while saying dejectedly, "Mom, that Bianca Rayne is going to marry Luke on the 1st of May. She's so unremarkable, and I don't think that she's a good match for Luke. I don't know why he loves her. Tell me, Mom, am I not as good as Bianca?"

After Queenie took out the pork ribs from the boiling pot of water, she started to slice onions and ginger deftly.

The usually noble woman seemed a lot more approachable when she was busy at work in the kitchen.

She spoke to Leia while her hands were busy. 'My daughter is an outstanding girl. You're beautiful, intelligent, ambitious, and kind. To me, you are the best. However, if Luke is destined to be with someone else, there's no use in trying to barge in. Luke doesn't have any feelings for you, Leia. You shouldn't waste any more time on him.'’

Leia did not listen to all that. She was determined to marry Luke.

She looked at her mother, misty-eyes. "Mom, I really, really love Luke. I cannot lose him. Without him, there is no meaning in my life. Now that he hasn't married Bianca, I still stand a chance. After they're married, I will forever lose that chance... I know that you dote on me, Mom. Won't you and Dad help me?"

Chapter 445 (3) How Fascinating

Tears filled Leia's eyes as she spoke.
