Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 975

Bianca and Sue ran back to the car and locked the door. They breathed a sigh of relief when they noticed that Pierre had no intention of chasing after them.

"Start the car, Sue," she urged.

Sue came to her senses. She was shocked when she saw that man drag Bianca toward the middle of the road. Throwing the ice packs at that man was pure instinct.

Seeing that the man was still looking at them, she started the car and quickly drove away.

After they were some distance away, Sue asked, "Who is that man, Bea?"

"Percy Mallory's younger brother," Bianca answered as she rubbed her reddish wrist. It would definitely leave a bruise, and she wondered how she would explain it to Luke.

Sue nodded and said nothing.

The Mallory family was famous in A City, though they were not similar to the Crawford family.

The Mallory's family business was famous, but not as famous as their underworld dealings.

Sue felt worried for Bianca. Fortunately, Bianca had Luke behind her. Otherwise, she would have paid a heavy price for offending someone from the Mallory family.

After work, Bianca picked up Lanie and Rainie from school, went home to pick Tommy up, then waited for Luke at the entrance of T Corporation.

Luke appeared at the entrance with his briefcase, and Bianca let him sit on the driver's seat.

"Good afternoon, Daddy," the three children greeted him as soon as he stepped into the car.

"Good afternoon!" Luke turned around and patted each of the children's heads. Then, he looked at Bianca, held her hand, and prepared to kiss her cheek.

"Hiss!" Bianca gasped. Luke had held the wrist that Pierre had squeezed.

Luke lowered his head and noticed that there was a ring of redness around Bianca's wrist. "What happened?" he asked.

Bianca shook her head. "Nothing."

"Bea…" Luke voiced his dissatisfaction in front of their children. He was not so easily deceived.

Tommy added, "Daddy, Mommy said that she bumped into the wall earlier. She also reminded me that I shouldn't be so careless like her so I won't get hurt."

Luke was not going to be so easily convinced as Tommy. If she had bumped into the wall, why would the bruise go around her wrist?

"Is that so?" He asked.

With no other choice, Bianca sighed and told him everything. She also said that she had acted out of impulse.

After the incident, she realized that she should not have done that.

Not only was it dangerous, but she should not have slapped Percy Mallory's younger brother.

After all, Percy had helped Luke before. Without Percy's help, Luke would not have been free from the Island of Despair so easily.

However, she had thought of Nina's situation…

Luke started the car without saying anything.

"Luke…" Bianca noticed that his expression was sullen and wondered if she should continue to apologize.

She did not expect that Luke and Percy would stop being friends, but she had nevertheless stepped out of line.

"We'll talk after we reach Grandpa's house," Luke said.

"Mm." Bianca sat straight, fastened her seatbelt, and glanced at the children in the rearview mirror. They were chatting and laughing earlier, but they had fallen silent, perhaps because they were influenced by the change in Luke's demeanor.

That made her regret it even more.
