Chapter 270
Chapter 270 Will You Agree to Anything?
Bianca was trembling with rage. She tried her best to suppress her feelings and managed to calm herself down.
"Don't involve other people in our matters, Xavier. Nina is innocent. I hope that you can let her go." Bianca forced herself to be calm, but she found that she could not be calm at all.
Xavier stubbed out his cigarette and looked into her eyes. "That'll be easy, Bianca. I don't want the divorce." "Xavier Tanner, you despicable man!" Bianca wanted to tear him into a thousand pieces.
"It's not like you don't know me. I'm willing to do anything as long as I achieve my ends!"
Xavier was not embarrassed by Bianca's reproach. Instead, that piqued his interest. "The man in the video is Pierre Mallory, the Second Young Master of the Mallory family. You should have heard about the Mallory family, right? Pierre is a vicious one. He always repays his grudges no matter how small they may be. If you're lucky, you might survive after losing a hand or a foot. If you're not, you'll be sleeping with the fishes. Your silly friend kicked Pierre while he was drunk. What do you think Pierre would do to her? Oh, right, it's not the end for her yet. I'm considered good friends with Pierre, and he owesa favor. If I give the word, there might still be hope for your friend. Of course, that'll depend on your performance."
Bianca was turning numb. "Xavier, you can ask for anything other than canceling the divorce."
Xavier sneered and towered over her. "Ask for anything? Can I ask for you then? Will you give yourself to me?"
Bianca was laughing out of her anger toward his shamelessness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXavier placed his hand on her shoulder. Bianca felt as though a poisonous cobra was entangling her. Her back was straight, and goosebumps rose all over her body.
Xavier did not seem to be bothered by her fear. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You don't have to worry about the divorce. If I want the divorce, I'll let you know, but I can tell you that you're destined to be my woman for the rest of your life!"
Bianca laughed. "What's the point of all this, Xavier? A marriage without love is like gripping a handful of sand. Try as you may, the sand grains will eventually slip away. You should understand that a marriage like this brings both parties nothing but agony and torment." "It might be agony, but it's sweet agony. I enjoy the process of being restrained and tormented." "How can you be so stubborn?" Bianca screamed. "You only live once, so why would you waste your ton a woman who doesn't love you? We are not compatible at all. I've said many times that I will hate you for as long as I live." "I will make you love me." He said determinedly as he abruptly hugged her waist and brought her close.
"That’s impossible. I will divorce you!" Bianca gritted her teeth.
Xavier's eyes flashed with hostility. He pinched her delicate cheek. "Just wait and collect your BFF in a bodybag then!"
Bianca had never felt so defeated. Her chest was filled with anger and grievances, but she had nowhere to release it.
She felt that she had fallen farther into her nightmare, toward the dark abyss of death. She struggled to breathe.
Only the thumping of her heart told her that she was still alive...
'What... should I do?'
Friendship and love were equally important to her. She could not live on if she lost either one...
Meanwhile, the two children had already changed their clothes, made their bed, and were watching cartoons on television.
They did not see their mother when they woke up, but they saw a note that their mother left them. She said that she had something important to do and would be back soon.
The two children did not throw any tantrums. Instead, they changed out of their pajamas, brushed their teeth, sat on the couch, and turned on the television to watch cartoons while waiting for their mother to return.
Ding dong. The doorbell to the apartment rang.
"Can you go and see who it is, Big Bro? Is Mommy back?" Rainie turned to look curiously at the front door. Her hair was fluffy and unkempt.
Lanie brought a stool to the door, climbed on it, and looked through the peephole. It was Walter Long.
"Uncle Walter is here. I'm opening the door!" He turned his head and told Rainie.
Bianca had reminded them multiple times that they should not open the door for strangers if there were no adults at home. The two children had remembered that well.
Lanie opened the front door.
Walter stepped into the apartment, and Rainie pounced into his arms." Uncle Walter!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWalter was the lawyer on retainer of T Corporation. He frequently interacted with Luke, and Lanie and Rainie knew who he was. Moreover, Walter had always brought the children small gifts whenever he met them. That was why the children liked him.
"You've grown heavier, Rainie. I don't think your Uncle Walter can carry you, ’ Walter joked as he held the little girl in his arms.
Rainie pursed her lips. "That's because Mommy makes delicious food, so I've been eating a lot."
Walter smiled. Bianca seemed to be a good influence on the two children. Earlier, they had been mature and considerate, but they lacked the youthful vibrancy children should have. Now that Bianca had walked into their world, the two children had bechappier and more energetic.
"Did you bring any gifts for us today, Uncle Walter?" Rainie asked as she stared at Walter with her big and animated eyes. Walter nearly burst out in laughter.
The little girl might be small, but she had Luke's shrewd genes.
"No. I forgot to bring any gifts today," Walter teased.
The little girl pouted. She seemed unhappy. Suddenly, Walter took an exquisite princess hairband and placed it on her head.
"Thank you, Uncle Walter!" The little girl ran to the dressing mirror and made vain poses.
Walter looked at Lanie, who was sitting quietly on the couch like a gentleman. He handed the little boy a jigsaw puzzle. "I bought this for you from my trip to Canada a few days ago, Lanie. Where's your Miss Bea?"
Walter knew that Bianca was living together with the children, but he did not know that Bianca was their birth mother.
Just when Lanie was about to answer, the front door opened, and Bianca walked in. Her face was deathly pale...
