Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 760

Chapter 760 Madam Moved Your Belongings to the Guest Room

The weather became cooler, but the sun was shining brightly. Bianca brought Old Master Rayne to the back garden.

There was a pond in the back garden, in which the water lilies were in full bloom.

The slender flower stalks were like the necks of graceful swans, supporting the big flower petals.

Old Master Rayne seemed to be in good spirits, though he continued to struggle to speak. "B... Bianca... why isn't... Luke... here..."

Bianca stopped pushing the wheelchair. She went in front of her grandfather and crouched down. "Grandpa, Luke has been busy recently with several major projects that need his approval, and so he moved to the company for the time being. He'll be back when he finishes his work."

Bianca knew that her grandfather's mind was still sharp even though he could not speak properly. That was why she lied to him. She knew that he would be worried if he found out that Bianca and Luke were not on speaking terms.

Old Master Rayne nodded stiffly. "Mm... I... I'm feeling a lot... better now... you don't... have to be at home... all the time..."

He was worried that his grandson-in-law might dislike the fact that he was living together with them.

He was a conservative man. To him, sons instead of daughters should take care of their parents when they were old. He did not want to be a burden to his daughter or be a reason for conflict with Luke's family. Bianca gently rested her head on Old Master Rayne's lap. "What do you mean, Grandpa? It's my duty to take care of you. If anything, you were the one who brought me up. You don't have to worry about me. I'm relieved only when I see

you close to me. You fell down when you were living alone, and there was no one to take care of you. I wouldn't want that accident to happen again." Old Master Rayne's fingers trembled. He wanted to pat his granddaughter's head, but he did not have the strength to do so. "I've been a burden to you... I... I should go back to... my hometown... You can... go to work..." That child should have her own career and social circle. Old Master Rayne thought that her life should not revolve around taking care of him.

Bianca held his hand, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Everything will be better, Grandpa. I hope that you can recover soon, and I can go back to work. I'm thinking of setting up a company with a few friends..."

"Good, good." Old Master Rayne smiled lovingly. He did not have many worries at his age, except for his sickly daughter Wanda and his beloved granddaughter. If he knew that they were happy, he would be able to rest in peace. Bianca stood up and continued pushing her grandfather's chair forward. Her tone of voice became cheerful too. "You don't have to worry about Aunt Wanda, Grandpa. Dr. Lake is taking good care of her, and her condition is under control. Aunt Wanda went on a leisure trip a few days ago, and she said that she'll bring you souvenirs." "It's good that... she's enjoying... her life. She doesn't have to waste money on... this silly old man. I don't... have any use..." Even so, his weathered eyes were narrowed into thin slits, evidently very happy.

"That's how Aunt Wanda shows that she cares for you."

They chatted while viewing the blooming lilies in the lake.

The lazy afternoon was relaxing and blissful.

Bianca pushed Old Master Rayne around the garden. Later in the afternoon, when the temperature became cooler, she brought her grandfather back into the house. The caretaker had prepared dinner for the family. After Bianca, Old Master Rayne, and the three children had eaten, Luke was not back yet.

Of course, he did not give a call or send a message either.

Usually, he would give her a call if he were to come home later. If she did not pick up, he could keep on calling and messaging her until she replied. She might not want to look at the messages, but she nevertheless felt happy when she noticed that the messages were from him.

Today...
