Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 680

Old Master Crawford was lying on a lounge chair in the garden of Crawford Manor. Next to him was a cup of fine tea.

The old man loved his tea.

When Bianca came into the garden, she noticed that Old Master Crawford seemed listless.

His face was beset with wrinkles, and his gaze was hollow and forlorn as he stared at the plants.

Ever since he found out that Luke was killed, his body, which had not been in good shape, deteriorated rapidly like a wilted plant.

"Were you looking for me, Grandpa?" Bianca walked behind Old Master Crawford and gently massaged his neck and shoulders.

Old Master Crawford turned his head to look at his granddaughter-in-law and smiled lovingly. "I'm glad that you're here, Bea. I want to ask you about the latest happenings in the company, and also… have you found another significant other yet?"

He knew that Bianca was a very capable woman who single-handedly took on the responsibility of bringing T Corporation out of a financial crisis two years ago. T Corporation's performance did not decline but rose by several percentage points compared to two years ago.

Old Master Crawford was very satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law.

However, he had heard rumors that had been circulating in the company.

The old man placed a lot of importance on his family's reputation. He could not tolerate his granddaughter-in-law seeing someone else.

He had wanted to talk to Bianca for a long time, but Bianca had been very busy with company affairs, and he did not want to bother her.

When he asked Bianca that question, he wanted to observe her reaction.

Old Master Crawford knew that his very capable and talented grandson was gone. If he had his way, he would want his granddaughter-in-law to defend T Corporation until it was time for his great-grandchildren to take over.

However, Bianca was young, beautiful, and capable. He did not want to tie Bianca down to the Crawford household because of his selfishness.

"Grandpa, did you hear any baseless rumors from somewhere?"

Bianca frowned, but she continued to massage Old Master Crawford's shoulders calmly. "I don't know from whom you might have heard those rumors, but I can tell you that they're all false because the only man I love is Luke. Don't worry. Even if Luke is really gone, I won't marry anyone else. I'm content with my three children."

Old Master Crawford sighed and continued speaking, "I'm not blaming you for anything, and I would feel guilty if I have to tie you down to the Crawford family, but you're the only one that the Crawford family can rely on. Louis is an undisciplined kid. He might be artistically talented, but he has no business sense at all. His mother Susan is quite capable, but her personality has become twisted thanks to what my wretched son did to her, and she's not suitable to lead the company. I have no other choice!"

Bianca was reminded of Susan's twisted personality.

That woman wanted to harm her when she gave birth to Tommy.

Fortunately, Louis came in the nick of time. Otherwise, she might have claimed two lives with her sinister plot.

Old Master Crawford seemed to know what Bianca was thinking. He shook his head and began to reminisce. "When Zachary married Susan, she was a refined and elegant woman. It's all Zachary's fault that Susan has become what she is now. I'm not without blame too… Bea, I hope that you can forgive her. At least do that for me. I'm already so old, and my last wish is to see my family live together harmoniously…"
