Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 528

Chapter 528 Why Would “Luke Crawford" Turn Himself In?

The setting sun was like a burning flame, shrouding the lake surface with color and lighting up the mansion like the scene of a dream.

Bianca sat peacefully next to the artificial lake, resting her cheek on her hands. She felt bored as she looked at the fish swimming in the lake.

The nurse quietly stood by her side.

A string of footsteps walking toward Bianca broke the silence.

Bianca saw Luke walking toward her while facing away from the sun. She smiled happily, but her tone was doubtful. "Why are you back so early?”

Bianca knew that Luke had been very busy lately. He would usually come home almost close to midnight, and sometimes he would reek of alcohol because of the business dinners he had to attend. She felt sorry for him.

The nurse nodded politely when she saw her employer approach. Then, she discreetly went away and gave the space to the lovers.

Luke walked in front of Bianca's rattan chair and sat down.

He loved to hug her in his arms. He thought that it was an intimate action.

The woman's soft and fragrant body was an addiction.

"I saw the news today. I didn’t expect that Leia would attempt suicide. Are we in the wrong?" A hint of guilt flashed in Bianca's eyes as she looked at Luke.

Luke held her small hand, caressed her smooth hair, furrowed his brows, and sighed slightly. "She brought this upon herself, and she only has herself to blame. It's not like she doesn't know that I have no affection for her, but she insists on clinging to me. There's no reasoning with that woman!’

Bianca hugged his neck and said worriedly, "The incident at the engagement ceremony will ruin the relationship between the Crawford and Norman families. Now that the public opinion is against you, it'll negatively affect T Corporation. Mr. and Mrs. Norman love their daughter so much, and they definitely won't take this lying down. I'm afraid that they might find trouble with T Corporation, and there's still that CD. I'm afraid that Leia would do something rash in her desperation. She might hand the CD to the authorities or expose it through the media..."

It went without saying that civilians should not cross people with political power.

No matter how wealthy a civilian might be, they would not have the influence or clout of a politician.

Luke might be the leader of T Corporation, a multinational company with immense financial resources, but he was only a businessman, and he was not as powerful as Jack Norman.

No matter how big his corporation might be, it would all amount to nothing if he was found guilty of a crime.

"Leia is a self-centered woman. Do you think that she would commit suicide? It's all just an act to garner attention. As for the CD, don't worry about it. It's all within control. Even if Leia exposes the contents of the CD, I have a countermeasure for it. The worst thing that could happen is a dip in our share prices, but that won't last for too long. Financial losses are nothing; I'll make that money back easily.

"Bea, I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm afraid that you're hurt when you're with me. I'll give you a legal status in the future, and you can stand proudly by my side."

Luke's low and resonant voice was like fine wine. His earnest feelings were reflected in his eyes.

Bianca lifted her head to meet his gaze. What she saw was a bottomless abyss from which endless love sparked.

"I'm not hurt, really. Even if I don't have a status, I'm happy as long as I'm with you. To me, loving someone means loving, tolerating, and trusting their everything. I don't need a reason to love you." Bianca smiled brightly as she leaned onto Luke. Her eyes were charming and beautiful like crescent moons.
