Chapter 343 Mommy, Did Daddy Bully You?
Later, Luke took Bianca back to Crawford Manor in his car.
At first, Bianca did not agree to it. With so many negative news reports revolving around her, Old Master Crawford and Allison
must not want to see her.
However, Luke insisted on bringing her home.
He wanted to announce to the rest of his family that Bianca was his woman and that she would soon become Mrs. Crawford.
Bianca had no other choice but to follow him back.
She gingerly followed behind Luke, afraid that Allison or Old Master Crawford would see her and humiliate her.
Fortunately, it was already past midnight, and everyone was fast asleep. No one noticed her going into the house.
Bianca first went to Lanie and Rainie's room.
The two young children slept in the same room because Rainie was timid. Seeing that her two angelic children were sleeping
soundly, she left kisses on their foreheads.
Then, she went to take a hot water shower, which comforted her cold and tired body.
When she stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a large towel, Luke had finished brushing his teeth. He carried her in his arms
into his bedroom.
"You should have a guest room here, right? I'll sleep there, or maybe in Lanie and Rainie's room..." Bianca felt uneasy. After all,
she could not let her guard down while in Old Master Crawford's house.
That was why she felt that it was more appropriate to sleep in the guest room.
Even though the other members of the Crawford family knew who she was, the two people were not a married couple yet, and
those family members that hated her would hate her even more.
"You'll sleep in this room tonight!" Luke hugged her waist dominatingly. "I'm here. You have nothing to be afraid of." "But I..."
Bianca remained uneasy.
"Don't you believe that I can handle this? You are my children's mother, and soon, you will be my wife. My family members need
to get used to you.
Don't worry, we won't stay in Crawford Manor after we're married." Luke pecked Bianca's cheek.
If not that the children had to stay there, Luke would not want to stay in Crawford Manor either.
The atmosphere there was too oppressive.
Susan fought with his mother every day, and there was no end to it.
Bianca breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Luke's words.
If they remained in Crawford Manor after they were married, she did not know how she would face Allison every day.
That was Luke's birth mother and not any other woman.
If she fought with Allison, Luke would be the one caught in between.
"We'll be together forever, Bianca. The only troublesome one here is my mother. My grandfather might look stern, but he can be
reasoned with. You can ignore Susan. You've met Louis, and he likes you as his sister-in-law. That's why you don't have to be
worried about the other family members." Luke smiled jokingly.
Bianca nodded determinedly. 'I know. I'll try to change my attitude toward your family members."
Luke laid Bianca on the bed and hugged her tightly. The woman's feminine and soft body contrasted with the man's masculine
and solid body.
Luke gently caressed Bianca's hair and reminded her softly, "The day after tomorrow is Jennifer and Marie's trial..."
Bianca suddenly remembered that.
She had been very busy with work and other incidents lately, and she almost forgot that the despicable mother and daughter had
caused her father's death!
"I will go to court myself and see that they are justly punished..." The memory of her father gasping for air and twitching surfaced
in her mind.
The hatred in her heart burst forth like a broken dam.
Bianca did not sleep well that night because she was troubled by those memories. She only managed to sleep when it was
almost dawn.
When she woke up, Luke was already not by her side.
Two cute little children stood next to the bed, looking at Bianca with their big and animated eyes.
Rainie poked Lanie's arm and said happily, "Big Bro, Daddy didn't lie to us! Mommy is really here to visit us. Why isn't Mommy
awake yet? Does she like to sleep in too?"
Lanie lifted his index finger to his lips and shushed his sister. ’Mommy is very tired from work, and she needs a lot of rest. Let's
not disturb her and let her sleep for a while more."
Just when he finished speaking, he saw Bianca's fingers move and her eyes open.
Bianca was surprised when she saw the two cute faces. She suddenly remembered that she was in Crawford Manor.
"Lanie, Rainie, what time is it now?" Bianca could not find her phone and had to ask the children.
Rainie took her boots off and climbed onto the bed.
She looked at Bianca with her misty, round eyes and mumbled softly, "It's nine o'clock, Mommy. It was snowing heavily earlier. I
had a snowball fight with Big Bro while you were asleep. Daddy said that we're already big children, and he doesn't let us sleep
in, but he lets you sleep in. That's not fair..." "I was quite tired from work last night, and I didn’t see the time..." Bianca felt
awkward.
She had embarrassed herself in front of the children!
"Your eyes look swollen, Mommy. Did Daddy bully you?" Lanie the little gentleman asked.
He was always worried that his Daddy would bully Mommy. After all, Daddy had a short temper.
Bianca looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were puffy because she did not sleep well last night.
Memories of Jennifer and Marie's misdeeds, as well as scenes from her father's suffering before his death, repeated over and
over in her head like a loop, perhaps because Luke had reminded her of the upcoming trial.
Bianca could not say anything in front of the two innocent children. She patted their heads to comfort them...
She applied some powder to her cheeks and used concealer to cover the eyebags. That way, she looked more energetic.
The two children sat on the bed with their cheeks resting on their hands, watching their mother put on her makeup.
Like magic, their mother's already beautiful face became even more beautiful after that.
Bianca had just finished putting on makeup when she heard a knock on the door.
Lanie opened the door. A middle-aged caretaker said to Bianca courteously, "Good morning, Ms. Rayne. Luke requests that you
and the two children go downstairs for breakfast..."
