Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 853

Of course, Bianca did not say it.

After all, she did not want anything to do with that man.

Whatever he did was none of her business.

The rest of the lunch was just as dramatic. Bianca enjoyed her meal while watching the comedy. On the other hand, Leia was the total opposite. The meal was tasteless, and she found it hard to swallow her food.

After lunch, Brody and Leia looked at each other for a while, and he invited her to go shopping.

Old Mrs. Norman stared earnestly at Leia, and she could only agree sheepishly.

After the couple left, Bianca stayed at home and played chess with Old Mr. Norman.

Old Mr. Norman was a skilled player, but Bianca was not bad either. That was how they spent the next two hours.

While playing, Bianca and her grandfather chatted about architecture. Bianca was surprised that her grandfather was quite knowledgeable in architecture, even more so than some professional architects, even though he did not have a degree in it. That impressed Bianca quite a bit.

As Old Mr. Norman captured one of Bianca's pawns, he said, "… The design of a building is influenced by both natural or manmade factors. A good design will make its surroundings better instead of becoming a burden. The interior and exterior of a building should follow the natural order. It's not easy to be an outstanding designer, Bea. You might have a degree in architectural design, but you still have a lot to learn."

Bianca moved one of her bishops backward to protect her other pieces and said respectfully, "Thank you for your wisdom, Grandpa. I will remember what you said."

"Mm," Old Mr. Norman replied satisfactorily and continued, "Also, you should keep on practicing your painting. There are many similarities between painting and architectural design. When a designer designs a building, they will have to figure out how to place everything while allowing enough space for movement. Similarly, painting is about finding the balance between positive and negative space. We shouldn't always be looking for something that would fill our lives. Sometimes, we have to take a step back and enjoy the idle moments."

"Mm, I know."

"Also, I have a collection of antique books about traditional architectural design. You can take a few books home and understand how people in the past thought…"

Old Mr. Norman imparted a lot of wisdom to Bianca, which she remembered.

Eventually, Old Mr. Norman began to yawn. Bianca could see that he was getting sleepy, so she helped him to his bedroom. After that, she went to the study and looked for the titles that her grandfather had told her.

There were many shelves in the study, and the books covered many areas of knowledge. It was like a mini library.

Moreover, the books were neatly arranged by categories, such as politics, economics, language, design, and art. It was easy for Bianca to find what she wanted.

Bianca began to look through the architecture section. All the books there were worth reading.

She picked several classic books on architecture, sat in front of the desk, and began to read.

…

When Leia returned, she noticed that the door of her grandfather's study was ajar, while Bianca was sitting inside reading.

Her hair was swept back, and her fair and slender neck was revealed. As she sat there and read quietly, her tranquil and elegant demeanor seemed irresistibly attractive.
