Chapter 167 Every Breath Had An Implicit Meaning
Bianca awkwardly led the way.
Not every shop sold good burritos. To be on the safe side, Bianca asked Luke to drive them to her old rented place.
After returning to the country, Bianca had stayed there. She was very familiar with the shops nearby and knew which shops had
delicious food.
The black Range Rover parked domineeringly on the side of the road, causing the surrounding residents to look at the people in
the car.
They saw the father with the straight back and the fair-skinned, lovely pair of twin babies who looked adorable from all angles.
It was lunch hour, so the burrito shop was full.
The owner yelled, "Number 23's burrito is done!"
A high school student in school uniform came to the cashier, handed the owner a round card that wrote 'No. 23’, and took his
burrito away.
The lady owner saw the family of four entering the door and her eyes lit up.
It was not because she had more customers, but because the four of them were too attractive and looked like celebrities.
'Perhaps they're celebrities!' "Please, have a seat. There are seats inside!" The lady owner welcomed them warmly. She asked
people from different tables to share a table so that there would be a free table. "For tables number and one and number two,
please share a table as we need more space due to it being lunch hour!"
The high school students in their school uniforms held their own burritos and hurriedly sat down at another table to join another
couple so that the four-person table was freed up.
The lady owner wiped the table vacated by the high school students and seated the family of four. "What would you like to
order?"
Bianca glanced at Luke and remembered his reply about them having whatever she wanted. She nervously and decisively
decided, "Four burritos. Two original flavors and two non-spicy ones." "We can eat spicy food..." Little Lanie and Rainie said
together.
Bianca was not sure whether to believe them and looked at the children's dad again.
Before Luke sat down, he said, "Lanie can take spicy food, but Rainie can't.
The doctor explained that she should avoid it."
Bianca changed the order with the lady owner.
The lady owner took the order down and gave it to her husband.
When she put the tableware on their table, the lady owner asked Bianca quietly, "Are you guys celebrities?" "No," Bianca shook
her head and explained, "I used to rent a house in this neighborhood and have eaten at your store many times."
The lady owner wiped the table again as if she did not hear what she said. She smiled while wiping, "And I thought that you guys
were celebrities trying to experience the life of normal people. What's the name of that... Reality show called... Real People? If
my shop is fortunate enough to get on the show, we’d go viral!"
Bianca knew it was all because of Luke. "We're really not celebrities..."
Strictly speaking, Luke was not a Hollywood celebrity. He was more mysterious than that.
Fortunately, most of the people in the shop were ordinary people. Some of them were migrant workers at nearby construction
sites. They were very old and most likely did not go on social media nor paid attention to financial news. Therefore, they would
not know who Luke Crawford was and they did not have to be bothered by anyone.
"Your burritos are done!" The lady owner brought it over for them.
Lanie and Rainie took the cutleries and started to eat excitedly. It was obvious that they liked it very much.
Bianca suddenly felt very satisfied and happy. Was it because the two little kids inherited her ordinary genes that they could
adapt to any food so quickly as well as enjoy them?
One o'clock in the afternoon.
Luke drove and they left the street.
His phone rang.
Luke answered. "What's the matter, Grandpa?" "Luke, my sister came to A City with a medical team. You know how sick her
husband got, right? He's barely holding on and is confused most of the time. My sister thinks that it'd be nice if Lanie and Rainie
came to the hospital to visit him and tell him that they're his grandchildren so that at least he can leave this world a little happier,"
Old Master Crawford said.
The two little kids in the back seat of the car also heard Luke's call which was on loudspeaker.
Bianca heard it too.
"Does that mean that we can't watch the play anymore?" Rainie really wanted to watch the play with Daddy and Aunt Bea.
Bianca did not dare to butt in regarding the Crawford family's affairs.
"We can watch the play another day," Luke said and decided.
40 minutes later, Jason picked up Lanie and Rainie.
"Aren't you going?" Bianca sat in the car and did not dare to get off.
They were at the main entrance of the office. If she got out of his car then, there would be countless eyes on her.
Luke started his car. 'I'm going, but I'm worried that he might remember that I'm the kids’ father."
Lanie and Rainie were pretending to be their family's grandchildren. It was a white lie with good intent for the dying old man.
"Would it be okay if you stopped the car 100 meters away from here? I’ll get off and walk back," Bianca said.
Luke did not listen to her and drove the car toward the theater. "I think we need to talk about the kids."
The car no longer had the lively atmosphere of the two children. There were only two adults left in the car. The atmosphere was
volatile, and every breath made had an implicit meaning.
Bianca was willing to give up anything to discuss the kids that she even forgot about the thought of getting out of the car and
going back to the office.
Bianca was silent during the entire way to the theater.
She waited for him to bring it up.
However, she did not know what was on his mind because he did not say anything either.
The time to watch the play was not a good time to discuss that matter. However, Bianca had no choice but to ask helplessly,
"Can I see them often?" "Yes."
The Range Rover reached an intersection. Luke nodded and focused on the road. His big hand steered half a circle and the car
drove to another street.
Bianca breathed a sigh of relief. "Can I, occasionally... Occasionally pick them up and have them stay with me for two days?’
That request was not asking for too much from the point of view of the children's biological mother. She just wanted to be closer
to the kids.
Regarding the question, Luke thought about it for a few seconds and also nodded in agreement.
Bianca was really satisfied and also changed her mind about him.
Outside the theater.
In the parking lot, Luke's deep gaze fell on the Porsche Cayenne that was parked two parking spaces away from him.
When he looked at the license plate number, it was indeed Xavier's.
'Did he come to watch the play as well?'
Based on the Xavier he knew, he would not have come alone.
Bianca initially did not want to watch the play with Luke. After all, Lanie and Rainie were not with them and it might make it seem
as if they were going on a date.
However, Luke was very reasonable and persuasive. Since Lanie and Rainie were looking forward to the play very much but
could not make it, she should watch it and tell them all about it as their mother. It would be a way of showing her love to them.
Luke and Bianca's tickets were not in the first row. When Jason booked the tickets, he knew what his boss would want. He would
not want to be recognized because it would indirectly use up the time that he had freed for spending time with his children. He
was afraid that once recognized, it could suddenly lead to negotiating business affairs.
After they were seated, Bianca looked at the center of the stage.
They waited for the play to start.
At that moment, a cold and familiar voice sounded in front of them.
