Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 597

Allison was unhappy when she thought of the possibility that her son had registered his marriage with Bianca without informing Old Master Crawford.

However, she felt slightly more relieved when she remembered that Old Master Crawford had kept Luke's driver's license in a secure place.

Old Master Crawford had been prejudiced against Bianca ever since she rejected Luke's proposal. He would not allow his grandson to marry Bianca!

Luke walked with Bianca over to the couch and sat down. "Grandfather," he greeted Old Master Crawford.

"Mm," Old Master Crawford replied. The harsh lines on his face became gentle when he glanced at Bianca's bulging stomach. "The stomach is already so big. Did the doctor say when's the expected date of delivery?"

Luke held Bianca's hand and said gently, "The expected delivery date is October 26th."

"That's coming soon. Don't let her go to work, and get her to stay at home and rest. She shouldn't overwork herself; there's not much money to be made anyway!" Old Master Crawford said coldly.

However, Bianca could hear his concern in his tone of voice.

"Thank you for your concern, Old Master Crawford. I'll rest at home when it's closer to the delivery date. It's not tiring to go to the office, and Luke isn't assigning a lot of work to me anyway. I can still take it."

Allison grunted unhappily. "How pretentious!"

Susan daintily picked up a teacup while looking at Allison mockingly. "Even if she's pretentious, she's still working hard and not relying on men, unlike some women who insist on being another man's mistress and destroying a harmonious family. Those women are worse than leeches…"

Allison glared at Susan. "Who are you talking about, Susan? Do you think that I'm deaf? Who can you blame if you can't retain a man's heart? Let me warn you, you'd better watch your words! Look at Susan, Father. She's picking on me!"

She began to complain to Old Master Crawford.

Luke's brows were tightly furrowed as he sat on the couch.

Bianca's palm rested on the back of his hand. Her gentle touch made him feel better.

His head was slightly lowered, and he looked at the scenery outside the window as he held Bianca's hand.

The two women's quarrel gave Old Master Crawford a headache. He stuck his pipe into his mouth and dragged it hard.

He rubbed his aching forehead and said, "That's enough from you two. The children are at home!"

Allison did not give up. "You saw it yourself, Father. Susan is the one who's always picking on me. Shouldn't I defend myself? I know that you favor Susan, but the way you play favorites is too blatant! You don't know how much I've suffered in the household ever since Zach left us. Without Luke, I don't know how badly I'd be bullied…"
