Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 845

Xavier did not answer nor explain anything to Riley. With that, the alarm bell in her heart went off even more.

She bit her lip and looked as though she was a woman in love. However, she was staring straight into Bianca's eyes the entire time.

Faced with the young woman’s hostility, Bianca laughed out loud and raised the shopping bags in her hand. “I’m just an insignificant person, an old acquaintance. I’m someone he used to know. We’re not that close, so you can just think of us as strangers."

Someone that he used to know.

Strangers.

Bianca’s words stung Xavier. His breathing became rapid as he stared at her, his handsome face looking embarrassed.

If an ex-wife was considered an old acquaintance, then their relationship was indeed like she said. It did not mean anything that they once had a marriage certificate. After all, they had never shared a bed nor held a wedding banquet.

The only thing that could prove that they were once husband and wife was that his ‘married’ status in the Civil Affairs Bureau’s system had changed into ‘divorced’.

Riley listened to Bianca’s explanation and saw her elegant demeanor. She was no longer hostile and smiled sweetly at Bianca. “Well, Xavier, since she’s an old acquaintance, why don’t you introduce me? You made me a little jealous there. Oh! Touch my belly, our baby isn’t happy that their daddy is bullying their mommy..."

She pursed her cute mouth. When she wanted attention, she would act like a cat begging her owner. Even a woman like Bianca could not help but look at her. However, Xavier’s expression was sullen and he turned away from her.

"Remember who you are. You should know our relationship better than anyone else. Shut your mouth if it’s not something you should ask. Stay in your lane and I’ll let you stay with me for a few more days. Otherwise, f*ck off!"

His words were cold and cruel. It seemed that the man who had just offered to pay for all of the woman’s shopping had disappeared.

Riley was stunned. Her beautiful pair of eyes welled with tears. She held back her tears because she was scared of him. She pitifully pressed her lips together, looking like a miserable wife who was getting bullied. She stood in place obediently, not daring to move.

Xavier was rich and handsome. When he was nice to her, he would spoil her in bed. He would tell her sweet lies that made her become an idiot in love. However, when his mood changed, he would be ruthless. When he was angry, he would make her leave if she did not know when to stop.

Riley was well aware of Xavier's violent temper. She was accustomed to his ever-changing moods. She lowered her head, held back her tears, and played with the hem of her dress. She did not dare to make any other sound.

Bianca could no longer stand still. She stood up for Riley and said, "Xavier, I didn't expect that your temper is still as terrible as ever. Now that Riley is pregnant with your child, you have to change."

For some reason, Bianca felt a sudden surge of relief when she learned that Xavier had become a father. It was as though the curse bound to her was gone.

Xavier looked at Bianca and felt a pang of pain. He took another look at her but did not say anything.
