After a long time, until her legs were numb from crouching on the floor for so long, she finally heard Luke’s voice coming from the washroom. There was a post-release hoarseness in his voice.He said, “You can come in now.”Bianca bit her lip and swallowed her awkwardness, standing up to open the washroom door again.Luke looked at her, his expression complicated. Bianca met his gaze for a short second, but she could not stand his deep, dark eyes, so she had to turn and look away.Right here and now, Luke definitely looked impeccably dressed. He was his usual perfectly gentlemanly self; even his collar and sleeves were ridiculously neat.It was almost as though he had not been involved in any of the hanky-panky earlier, as though all of it was just her one-sided imagination.Bianca was about to go in, but then he blocked her way.The man’s tall and slender body was still emanating the smell of testosterone and masculine pheromones. It made her panic.“Please let me pass,” Bia
Blanche opened his mouth to say something, but then he looked around to give his tall father behind him a cautious look. After that, he turned back around and shook his head at Bianca. “No, we’re taking you to the department store.”“The department store? Why?”As soon as she said that, Bianca immediately remembered that there was no more mineral water in the fridge. The kid was probably worried that she did not have any water to drink when she felt thirsty.“We don’t need to go to the store. I’ll boil myself some water later.”What she really needed now was for the two of them to leave, ASAP.However, the boy shook his head adamantly. “Nuh-uh, I’m worried you won’t have anything to eat or drink…”Helpless, Bianca looked at Luke, signaling at him to help her. As his parent, she hoped that he would take the boy away.Instead, Luke patted his son’s head and said to her mildly, “Lanie is so worried that he might even insist on staying here with you tonight.”Bianca, “...”There w
Back at the hospital.Bianca stared at the shopping bags for a long time before she went to brush her teeth.The father and son did not stay for long after that.Once she was cleaned up, Bianca changed into her pajamas and lay on the pure-white single hospital bed. She squeezed the covers between her fingers for a long time, unable to sleep.She tossed and turned, but she just could not go to sleep.Her eyes were wide. Bianca was thinking that this was the first time in her twenty-four years of life that someone gave her a coat without hesitation when she was feeling cold.She would be lying if she said that she was not touched in the slightest.Luke led his son out of the hospital and prepared to drive back to the mansion.The drive had barely started when they reached a red light.Luke then opened the car window and lit up a cigarette. Holding it between his fingers, he took the occasional dreg, his deep eyes staring directly ahead of him and gradually narrowing.“Dad, you
Just then, Jean walked over and tried to turn the bedroom doorknob.He turned it a few times, but it did not budge.At some point, Luke had locked the door from inside. However, this was just a regular doorknob, and it was not very sturdy.Bianca’s heart leaped into her throat and stayed there, all the blood draining from her face...Her lips were sealed by the man’s scalding kiss. She could only look at the man with sorrow deep in her eyes, shaking her head desperately.Luke kissed her for a long time, venturing deep into her mouth every time. After a pause, he pulled his tongue out of her mouth, his gaze bright with an unending blaze of lust.The man’s well-defined side profile stuck to one of her cheeks. The warmth of their bodies melded together, and his large hand did not ease up its grip on her wrists at all. Instead, his other hand, placed between his legs, applied even more pressure there.“No…”Bianca could not help another shudder.Her knees were weak, and she needed
“He’s asking you a question. Are you crying?” Luke’s hoarse voice was pressed against her back. He kissed her, again and again, moving up her spine and reaching her earlobe. “Tell me, are you crying?”Just then, there was a loud clap of thunder outside, followed by a flash of lightning.Bianca took that chance to bark at him, saying, “You’re such a thug!”“That’s right. In public, I am a gentleman to everyone. But in private, I am your personal thug.” Luke bit her ear from behind and licked her back and forth.One of his hands reached around her slender waist at the same time, reaching to touch her round belly button.The man’s rough and cracked thumb rubbed her belly button back and forth…Bianca could not stand the way she was caressing her, and she instinctively fought against his finger on her belly button. That was why she arched her body back and raised her head.That way, though, she made it much easier for Luke to press his body against hers…Jean was still pouring his
Bianca’s levels of humiliation reached an unprecedented high.She never thought that Jean would one day call her an “adulterous pig”!Luke grabbed onto her snow-white ankle and refused to let go. She shrank away backward, resisting the bitter taste in the mouth. At the same time, she was utterly terrified by those blood-red eyes threatening to eat her up.After a brief struggle, he had abrased her ankle and turned it red.“Ow…” she cried out.Bam!Bam!Jean kicked the door two more times.The door was on the verge of shattering. Bianca was beside herself with anxiety, the last traces of blood draining from her already-pale face.While Bianca was stuck between a rock and a hard place, her lips were suddenly taken by the man whose face was magnified infinitely before her.That was followed by another sound from outside. Bianca’s ears were filled with the man’s burning breath and his sexy panting.Outside the bedroom.Jean turned around when he heard the sound and saw four m
After Luke left, Bianca stood at the door and stared for a long time.He was right, and the doctor’s diagnosis was right too. However, she did not know if she was right. Her body and senses had completely betrayed her.There would probably be very few women who would not feel anything for such an accomplished and capable man.However, when faced with a man as superior as Luke Crawford, many women would appraise themselves. They would consider if they had any right to feel anything for him, and what the consequences would be.Aside from someone like Charlotte Shaw, which normal woman would be able to match up to him?Bianca knew herself well, so she had managed to keep her defenses up all this while. Today, though, when he forced her so overbearingly, her body had thrown in the towel and betrayed. It almost felt as though this body was not hers…“Your body will speak the truth your mouth does not.” That sentence was actually extremely discriminatory, but today, Bianca had to tragi
It did not matter if they were the same person or not. Bianca was still going to this gathering.Not for her classmates, nor for the senior she could barely remember, but solely for the teacher who once gave her so much love and care, Miss Clinton.It was one thing if she had not heard about Miss Clinton, but now that she had, there was no way she could not go.…That noon, at Crawford Manor.From the moment Luke walked through the door, the old man had been following behind his oldest grandson, asking, “You’re not getting any younger. Maybe you should think about finding a life partner. Tell me, what kind of a woman do you like?”Luke went upstairs without saying a thing.The old man followed him upstairs despite his walking stick, but he inwardly cursed his ungrateful grandson as he climbed the stairs. The boy had no love for the young or the elderly.“Do you like them plump? On the fair side?” the old man pressed. He thought that was his older grandson’s type.Luke walked i
