Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 848

Bianca knew that he was most likely joking with her, but she could not help but smile as she gazed into Luke's focused eyes.

She gently rubbed his chin with her tender hands. "Hmph! Stop making fun of me!"

His chin was clean and smooth.

He had shaved his stubble beard while he was in the bathroom earlier. She could smell his unique body scent and the freshness of the shower cream.

Bianca's gaze fell on his hair…

There were several gray hairs among his damp black hair.

Bianca carefully plucked those gray hairs and showed them to him.

She smiled stiffly as she gazed at his handsome face. "This is the second time I found gray hairs on your head, Luke…"

Luke hugged her slender waist and brought her close. He did not mind the gray hairs that much. "That's normal. People of my age should have at least a few gray hairs. Do you think that I'm already old, my wife?"

Bianca kissed his thin lips and rested her head on his chest. "You're not old, and I'm not saying that you are. You should be at the peak of your life."

Luke returned the kiss, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes. "Sometimes I feel guilty when I'm with you, Bea. I'm a few years older than you, and you're still so young and beautiful. I've brought you a lot of unwanted pressure. If I'm not your husband, your life would be totally different, and it might be a lot better. I don't think I can ever let you go though. After all, I've waited for you for so long that I thought I'd be alone for the rest of my life…"

Those words were like honey that brought sweetness to Bianca's heart. "If I hadn't met you, I don't think I'd fall in love with anyone else. People don't always fall in love at first sight, Luke. I'm your wife, and you are my husband. I guess we are destined to be together, and we hope that we can continue to love each other mutually."

Luke's slender fingers touched her tender lips, and he gazed at her indulgently. "Tell me honestly, Bea. Do you feel aggrieved being together with me?" His voice was hoarse and sexy.

He might satisfy all her material needs, but he was always busy at work. Sometimes, he would only return home after midnight.

Occasionally, he would come home drunk because of the business dinners he had to attend. His business trips would last for as long as half a month, while she had to stay at home alone.

Luke knew that Bianca was sensitive to emotions, and just like any woman, she would want to be pampered and showered with love. Scarlett, Jim's wife, was a good example. She wanted to cling to him at all times.

If that were what it took to be a husband, he would fail as one. He would fail as a father too.

Bianca almost melted in his warm embrace.

When her fingers intertwined with his, she said very softly, "I hope you won't ever ask me that question again. I've never felt aggrieved when I'm with you. Instead, I think that I'm very lucky. You might be busy with work, but you always make it a point to come home every night, and that's enough for me. When you're not at home, I'll be occupied with my business, and time will pass very quickly when I'm busy. Whenever you leave early in the morning, I thought that time would pass in a flash, and I get to see you again at night. I'm very happy with you!
