Chapter 142 Why Did You Call Aunt Bea Your Wife?
"Aunt Bea..."
Bianca heard a voice and looked up.
It was Lanie.
The Tanner family even invited the Crawford family...
The interior design of the private hall was luxurious. The round table was seated fully around. She knew some of them while the
others were strangers. The table was also full of expensive dishes and famous wines.
Rainie's little pink chubby face emerged from the desserts.
Her eyes inevitably swept over to the man's suddenly darkened face. Bianca immediately felt as if dark clouds were pressing
down on her. She lowered her head and tried to pull her hand out of Xavier's big hand.
Not only did Xavier not let go of her, but he also pulled a chair out while still having his arms around her. He said, "Sit next to my
mom."
The colors of the two marriage certificates were dazzling. They were as red as two big pools of mosquito blood.
'From now on, we're a family, Bea. Don't be scared. No matter what, I’ll always be there as your mother."
Grandaunt said those words specifically for her son. She hoped that her son would not bully Bea. Moreover, she also said those
words to Luke. As Bea's boss, Grandaunt wanted to make sure that he did not just think of her as only her subordinate but also
his cousin-in-law.
He was also to respect her as his cousin-in-law.
On the big round table, the others echoed in a few words. They were unable to say much else...
The atmosphere at the table felt weird.
"I need to go to the bathroom."
After Bianca said that, she stood up and left the private hall.
She was embarrassed like never before.
However, Luke's family being there was still a secondary concern to her. Grandpa's safety was still the most important thing.
Xavier had shown her a video shot by someone. Her wounded Grandpa had been sent to the hospital.
She still did not know which hospital it was.
It was not realistic to look for him in every hospital.
Even though marrying a devil would make her life miserable, she had no other choice...
In the private hall.
Allison saw how dirty Rainie's fingers were and said, "Rainie, look how dirty your fingers are. Come, I'll take you to wash your
hands."
Rainie's meaty little fingers were covered with dessert crumbs.
When they exited the private hall, they walked to the nearest women's bathroom.
In the bathroom.
Bianca felt nervous when she saw Allison bringing Rainie in.
"Rainie, come and wash your hands." Allison took care of the child first. While she washed her hands, she asked Bianca, "Did
Xavier and you actually get married?" "Yes.”
Bianca saw the shock and anger in Allison's face.
Allison could not say anything else in front of the kid.
It was true that she had asked Bianca to leave her son, but she never agreed that Bianca could get close to his relative!
She prayed day and night that Bianca would marry someone far away. It would have been best if she married someone
overseas. If she could not find someone to marry, it would also be great if she was met with an accident and died!
Unexpectedly, Bianca left the Crawford family and went to the Tanner family.
Instead of getting farther, she got closer.
Allison took her granddaughter back to the private hall.
Bianca went back to the private hall afterward. She could not hide there for the rest of her life. She wanted to finish the dinner as
soon as possible so that she could see Grandpa earlier.
When she returned to the private hall, she bumped into Lanie who was holding a backpack. He was telling his sister, "Rainie,
we’re leaving." "Aunt Bea... Can you come and...”
Rainie said nothing.
He was going to say 'Aunt Bea, can you come and stay over at Daddy's apartment tonight?1
However, before he could say the second half of his sentence, his daddy's big hand squeezed his mouth. 1 "Your mouth is full of
crumbs. How unladylike." Luke held his daughter in one hand, frowning. He wiped the crumbs from his daughter's mouth with his
thumb.
Grandaunt said hurriedly, "Luke, if you're busy, go ahead and leave first!" She was eagerly hospitable because Grandaunt
thought to herself that the sooner that cold man left, the sooner Bea would feel more at ease.
Xavier brought Bianca over to sit down before saying, "I'll send them off."
Soon, the three Crawfords were gone from the private hall.
Bianca felt a little more comfortable.
Outside the hotel.
Xavier opened the car door, patted Lanie's head, and said, "Little kiddo, you're pretty good at taking care of your little sister."
Blanche brought his sister all the way to the car, then asked, "Uncle, why did you call Aunt Bea your wife?" "Next time you see
her, she’s your aunt Bianca Tanner," Xavier explained patiently to the little guy. After he explained, he looked at the kid who
looked a lot like Bianca again.
In the hotel lobby, there was an officer who saw Luke. Naturally, he went up to him to say hi. He started talking as Luke listened.
The topic they were talking about was none other than properties in A City that were on the market recently.
Luke was not in the mood to talk about business stuff, and his brain was still muddled with thoughts.
Xavier was outside talking to the naive kids. When they saw that Luke was still busy, they went back up.
Luke drove back to the manor and did not return to the apartment.
He dropped the two kids off to their Great-grandfather and nanny to be taken care of.
When Luke took his suit jacket and was about to leave, Blanche asked in a puzzled manner, "Daddy, Uncle Xavier told me Aunt
Bea will be called Bianca Tanner the next time I see her. Is that right?"
Luke paused for a while. However, it was only for a moment before he left the manor without a word.
Both Great-grandpa and the nanny in the manor's living room were startled.
The nanny hurried over to pick up Young Master Lanie and Miss Rainie's bags. Her lips were sealed and she did not dare to utter
a word. ‘Ms. Bea has been getting along well with the three of them, so why did she suddenly
Old Master Crawford raised his eyebrows and called his little great- grandson over. "Come here and tell Grandpa what's going
on."
Blanche told him everything he heard.
Suddenly, he felt sorry for Daddy...
It was ten something at night when Xavier brought Bianca to see Grandpa.
Grandpa was slightly injured and he was not in a good mental state. He was still passed out. 1
Bianca did not realize when Xavier had left.
She only wished that Xavier would just get the hell away from her.
She stayed overnight in front of Grandpa's hospital bed. The next morning, Bianca listlessly gave Sue a call to ask for a leave.
However, she was not sure if her leave would be approved.
When Sue heard that she was asking for a leave, she immediately said, ’ Take care of your grandpa first. The project is still being
handed over, so don’t worry about rushing back to work." 'Thank you."
Bianca was very grateful for Sue's help.
After staying by Grandpa's side for a week, she still had to see Dad in between those days to sign and pay for his bills.
In the afternoon, Bianca looked at her bank account balance that was only left with a few digits. She had no choice but to
motivate herself and get back to work.
The design department.
'Bea, you're back?" A female colleague who was in the midst of something looked up at her and said, "Your team has gone up to
the top floor for a meeting. If you go now, you might still be able to listen to the summary."
Bianca nodded and thanked her. She did not have time to organize her stuff. She took her laptop and went up.
When she was heading up to the top floor, all her teammates had just finished the meeting and were going down on another
elevator. When she knocked and nobody answered, she gently pushed the conference room door open but found that there was
no one left inside.
Bianca knew that the project was being handed over a few days ago and everything important would be talked about at the
meeting.
She did not want to drag her team down, so she wanted to turn on the recorder in the meeting room to replay the meeting.
The camera was in the cubicle. When she walked over with the laptop in her hand, she saw the grim-looking Luke smoking a
cigarette while sitting silently at the huge conference room table, i
The man's solemn eyes also met hers.
