Chapter 201 You're So Caring Toward Your Cousin's Wife, Boss...
The black Bentley limousine did not drive into the courtyard but instead was parked outside.
Luke was not driving his car.
After Jason parked the car, he got out and opened the door to the back seat.
The boss and his two children stepped out.
Just as usual, Luke was impeccably dressed in his business suit and leather shoes. However, one could easily tell from his face that he was more vibrant than usual, as though he had heard some good news.
Rainie was in her father's arms, smelling of her father's cologne, while Lanie ran excitedly into the courtyard wearing his backpack.
"Hello, handsome young man!” One of the female colleagues greeted the boss's son.
‘This trip is so worth it!
'The amenities might not be as good as the city, but I get to see the boss's handsome face and his cute kids!
‘How blissful!1
Lanie looked around the crowd but did not find Miss Bea, though he did not forget his manners and returned the greeting, "Good morning, Pretty Miss!"
The female colleague who was called "Pretty Miss" grinned widely.
Joe put himself in charge and tried hard to keep things under his control.
He stepped forward and shook hands with Jason.
While Jason sat down for breakfast and everyone chatted, a female colleague noticed that the boss was walking alone toward the two-story building.
That was where everyone's rooms were.
She could vaguely see him carrying a paper bag in his right hand, and it seemed to be holding food.
'The boss is so caring toward his cousin’s wife...'
Indeed, Jason did not have the time for breakfast before he started driving. The two children woke up very early and insisted on coming too.
"Rainie, can you tell Uncle Doyle what you want for breakfast?" Jason pointed at sliced bread and milk with his left hand, and at buns and oatmeal with his right hand.
"Oatmeal, please," Rainie said as she took out a picture book from her backpack and showed it to the adults around her. "Daddy bought this for me. I'll get 100 marks if I read it..."
In the upstairs room.
Bianca was not woken up by the commotion downstairs and the knock on her door, but she was roused from her sleep when her phone vibrated.
She thought that her phone was faulty because it always turned itself off, even though there was still 60% of power left.
She was planning to order a new phone online, or she might go to town and find a reliable store.
It was entirely up to luck if she could pick up a call...
The call was from an unknown number, but she answered it anyway.
Lacey's voice was heard over the phone. "Bianca? I'm Lacey, your mother-in -law."
Bianca was curled up in her blanket. "I know who you are. Is there anything? ’ She spoke diplomatically.
Lacey did not appreciate Bianca's courteous yet distant tone of voice. It sounded as though Bianca wanted to distance herself from the Tanner family.
"I'll cut to the chase. It's like this. I've heard from my son that you're pregnant with his child. I'd like to give you some advice, both as your mother-in-law and as a fellow woman, that you should rest more when you're pregnant. Don't overwork yourself. Why did you go to that small town when you can work comfortably in A City?"
Lacey was expecting Xavier to bring her back when he went to the town yesterday.
She did not expect that her son would return alone.
Xavier did not answer any of her questions. He went to the bar to drink with his friends and returned at about eight o'clock in the morning.
It was the afternoon when he woke up.
Lacey was worried about her grandson in Bianca's womb. That was why she made the call.
Bianca was groggy and thirsty after she woke up. She pushed herself off the bed while holding the phone next to her ear.
She stepped into the tiny washroom, rinsed her mouth with mouthwash, and felt a lot better. "What child? You might be mistaken."
Before Bianca could explain, Lacey heard a delivery notification on her phone.
"Wait, I'm coming!" Lacey said.
Bianca did not reply, nor did she end the call. She was not sure how serious she should regard the fact that Lacey thought that she was pregnant with Xavier’s child, but she wished that the Tanners would not be mistaken.
She had to explain herself.
Meanwhile, in A City, Lacey signed on the delivery slip while she looked at her phone screen, making sure that Bianca did not end the call.
The recipient of the package was "Bianca Rayne."
On the spur of a moment, perhaps she was suspecting that her daughter-in- law was deceiving her, she opened the package.
The package was very light. It had only a piece of paper inside.
It was a physical examination report.
As a former office worker, Lacey knew that it was a physical examination required by work. Back then, that was how she knew that she was pregnant with Xavier.
Not only Lacey, but many newly-married women found out more about their physical conditions through work-related physical examinations.
Lacey browsed through the report but did not see any terms indicating that Bianca was pregnant.
She remembered what Bianca said earlier in the call. "What child? You might be mistaken."
She immediately understood. Her son had not told the truth to his mother!
To win the support of his parents, Xavier had lied to them about a child!
Meanwhile, in the small town.
While Jason ate his breakfast, he received a notification on his phone that his package was successfully delivered.
On the second floor.
Bianca was about to explain herself to Lacey when she realized that Lacey had ended the call.
She stood in the washroom staring blankly ahead, then looked at the time and realized that she had to wash up and go downstairs. She had to work even though she was not feeling well.
She placed her phone away and washed her face with cleansing foam.
As she wiped her face with a towel, she noticed with the corner of her eye that a man had appeared in her three-hundred-square-foot room.
Luke placed the bag in his hands on the table. The food inside was still hot.
Small water droplets clung onto Bianca's unblemished face. Those refined eyebrows, those gentle eyes, and those red lips slightly swollen from last night's abuse...
Her hand holding the towel froze in mid-air. She knew that he would be looking for her today, but did not expect that it would be so soon.
While she collected her thoughts, Luke walked toward her, hugged her tightly, and kissed her heavily. At the same time, he closed the bathroom door.
"Mm... ah..."
It was as though the fires of passion from last night were still burning.
Those disgraceful memories assaulted their senses and broke down their defenses.
Luke lustfully tasted Bianca's lips. After last night's experience of how hard it was to push his way in, his true feelings toward a woman overwhelmed his sanity. He nibbled on her earlobe and whispered, "I like the way you moan..." 1
