Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 82

Bianca held the bowls and chopsticks. She looked at Luke who was sitting across from her with her sorry eyes.

Luke probably hated Jean. When Grandpa called him Jean, even though it felt bad, he had to swallow it for the time being.

"Grandpa, you should eat more too." Luke did not correct him and made sure the old man ate first.

After he picked up food for Grandpa, he picked up two pieces of ribs for Bianca.

"Thank you." Bianca picked up a few grains of rice with her chopsticks but did not dare to look up at him. She took a small bite of the rice before she bit into the ribs that he picked up for her.

It was then when Bianca noticed that the ribs that Luke picked up for Grandpa and her were fine pieces of ribs.

It was the type with one single bone and had meat that could be easily bitten off.

He ate the backbone.

The small town was not fancy, so ribs were sold together with the backbone.

Bianca picked up a piece of fine ribs and put it in his bowl. "You should eat too. Don't just pick food for Grandpa and me.”

"I'm not hungry yet."

The man put the rib back into her bowl again.

Grandpa paid attention to the details of the scene that showed the two people getting along. He was pleased.

The old man had lived for more than 70 years. The number of people and the type of people he had seen were too many. Whether his grandson-in-law’s intentions were real or fake, he could see through him very clearly.

"Bea was brought up by me. She’s lived a very tough life. She lived on bread and water while the clothes she wore were second-hand clothes that other kids no longer wanted. When she was a child, her dad always had to leave her alone because he had to go to work, while her mom never saw her after she was born. This child has lived a hard life, but she grew a lot from it. Whenever I think about it, I can’t help but blame myself..."

When Grandpa told this story, he was heartbroken. Tears started to form in his eyes as he recalled the old times.

"The granddaughter you raised is so much wiser than the daughters raised by wealthy families. Don’t blame yourself," Luke looked at Bianca and said to Grandpa.

"Let’s continue our meal. We don’t have to talk about that. I mean, I’m living an alright life now…” Bianca knew why Grandpa said that he blamed himself, but that was not Grandpa’s fault. It was not her dad’s fault, either. The one who was at fault was the woman who abandoned her after giving birth to her.

Grandpa was old and worn, but his wise eyes looked at his grandson-in-law. He tried to figure him out. "In the beginning, when I saw how you dressed and your car parked outside, I was really worried that you would hurt my dear Bea and not treat her sincerely. It seems that I was being shallow and misunderstood you."

Luke comforted the old man and said, "Grandpa, you have it the other way around. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to persuade Bea this time. I'm afraid that I've done something wrong to make her run away from marriage."

Upon hearing this, the old man said solemnly, "If Bea tries to run from your marriage and let you down, I will go to the city myself to break my unfilial granddaughter's legs!"

Bianca, "..."

After a busy day, Bianca sent Luke to the town hotel in the evening.

On the way there, Bianca wanted to remind him that the hotel in the town had limited facilities, but she remembered that he had stayed in the town for a whole year before, so she kept her mouth shut.

The two of them walked over to the black Range Rover that was parked in front of the house.

Bianca walked on his left side, looked up at him, and said, "I'm sorry I let Grandpa call you Jean. If I told him that you're not Jean, Grandpa will definitely start asking questions. Even if we clear everything up, I'm sure he won't be able to stop thinking about it and will end up losing sleep over it."

"It's fine. As long as the grandson-in-law that the old man sees is me, it's okay." Luke's deep black eyes were fixated on Bianca. His eyes had a deep sense of possessiveness toward her.

One of the shops on their way was still open.

Bianca went in and asked the lady owner, "Do you sell chargers here?"

The lady owner looked at the two strange faces. From the way they dressed, she could tell that they came from the big city. She asked with hesitance, "What kind of phone? Let me see."
