Chapter 196
Chapter 196 Are We Going To Visit Miss Bea?
When Jason received Sue's message, he was waiting in front of the school for the boss's two babies.
"Uncle Doyle!" Rainie ran out of the gates and into Jason's arms.
Jason lifted the little princess with one arm, then took the little prince's hand with his other hand and walked toward the car.
"When will Daddy cand pick us up from school again, Uncle Doyle?" Lanie asked a futile question.
He and his sister knew that Daddy was very busy. On the rare occasion that Daddy was home, he was usually distant and responsive. It was as though they did not have a father.
Now that their Daddy was warming up to them, he disappeared without a trace for the past two days.
As Rainie was placed in the car by Jason, she heard her brother's words and looked innocently at Jason, waiting for an answer.
After settling the two children in the car, Jason said seriously, "Your Daddy is very busy now, and he can't leave his job. Let your Uncle Doyle ask him again when he will be free to pick you up from school."
Jason closed the door of the Bentley and sat on the driver seat.
Jason started the car and drove toward Crawford Manor. He also sent the information obtained from Sue to his boss.
Ten minutes later, Jason received a new directive.
The two children in the car noticed that Jason steered the car into an unfamiliar street.
"Aren't we going home, Uncle Doyle?" Lanie stood tiptoe in the car and leaned to look out of the window.
'Are we going to look for Miss Bea? That's great!' "I’m bringing you to meet your Daddy."

Bianca grudgingly cleaned the plates and bowls and dried them.
Through gossip, the colleagues in the courtyard knew the identity of the man who arrived in a Porsche.
The married couple needed sprivate space, and so they went back to their rooms.
Xavier stood at the kitchen doorway and looked at the woman busily arranging the kitchenware in the cupboard. "This is my first tseeing you doing chores ever since we married. When are you going hto cook a meal for your in-laws?"
Bianca listened to those words and gave no reply. She dried the last plate and placed it in the cupboard.
She thought that Xavier was there to deliberately annoy her.
She dried her hands and stepped out of the kitchen. Walking across the silent courtyard, she was about to take the stairs when the man abruptly grabbed her wrist from behind.
Bianca instantly turned around. When she saw that punchable face, she yelled without any regard to her surroundings, "Let go of me!"
However, her strength was no match for the man.
Xavier's grip on Bianca's wrist was so tight that her hand turned red, though he maintained a gentle and warm smile on his face. "You and I are husband and wife. Can we not butt heads all the time?"
"Since when are we husband and wife?" Bianca shook her head coldly. "I've never considered us to be husband and wife. You can place the marriage certificate in front of me, and I would think of it as nothing more than a piece of scrap paper with swords on it."
She forcefully pulled her hand away!
Her colleagues sitting next to the window on the second floor saw what was going on in the courtyard.
The windows were closed, and so they could not hear what Bianca was saying. However, they could see that Bianca was having a big altercation with her Cayenne husband...
Back in her room, Bianca immediately closed the door and locked it. She was worried that Xavier might act on an impulse and barge into her room.
She briefly cleaned the three-hundred-square-foot room and sat on the floor. Pulling over a small table, she placed her laptop on it.
A few minutes later, her phone started ringing.
The call was from Walter Long, the famous lawyer.
"Hello, I’m Bianca..." Bianca quickly answered the call and stood up.
"I remember that you have my Instagram contact. Hang up now and sendyour location. I'll come and look for you by GPS," Walter said.
"Is it something about the divorce? Can't we meet tomorrow?" Bianca asked.
She had heard that Walter charged his clients by the minute. His twas literally very precious!
"Boss's orders. He said that there should be sprogress to the divorce, but I'm not going there to look for you."
Bianca thought fora bit.
'The Boss' that Walter is referring to should be... Luke...
'As for the progress on the divorce...'
Bianca looked out of the window, saw Xavier playing with a wild puppy in the courtyard, and immediately understood.
Walter tried to set up a meeting with Xavier in A City but failed.
Perhaps Xavier could guess why Walter was looking for him.
Xavier and Luke were cousins, but they did not see each other eye to eye. Perhaps Xavier knew that Walter was very close to Luke.
He must have concluded that Walter was working for Luke. As such, he would rather not meet the lawyer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow Xavier was in the small town. If Walter cover as fast as he could, they would definitely meet each other.
After the call ended, she sent her location to Walter, who was making his way there as fast as he could.
The sky grew dark an hour later.
Xavier did not leave. Instead, he went upstairs and knocked on Bianca's door.
Bianca sat in the room, feeling apprehensive. She did not want to open the door.
However, if she did not open the door, Xavier might think that there was no use in him staying in the boring little town. He might return to A City right then.
If that happened, Walter would not be able to intercept him.
Arriving at that thought, Bianca got up, unlocked the door, and returned to her seat to continue working.
"Are you so busy?" Xavier entered the room, saw that there were no chairs, and sat on the floor like Bianca.
After a while, Xavier felt tired sitting on the floor. He stretched out his legs and lay down, though he occasionally stole glances on Bianca's laptop screen, scrutinizing the designs that she was making.
Eventually, his gaze drifted from the laptop screen to Bianca's serious face.
After an unknown amount of time, Walter arrived at the room. Xavier had already fallen asleep.
"Sorry for waking you up, Mr. Tanner," Walter said diplomatically.
Xavier slowly opened his eyes. He had a headache. His gaze immediately fell on Walter's world- famous-lawyer face.
"It's so hard to set up an appointment with you, Mr. Tanner. Fortunately, my efforts have paid off."
Walter sat on the floor, took out a stack of paper from his briefcase, and handed it to Xavier.
When Xavier saw the two copies of the divorce agreement and a signature pen in front of him, he looked around the room and discovered that Bianca was nowhere to be found.
'How dare that woman deceive me?'
