Chapter 389 A Beautiful Night
Bianca felt extremely sorry that she nearly caused a car accident just now. She dared not continue driving in case she put their lives at risk again.
However, Luke drank and could not drive under the influence.
She took out her phone and used the ride-hailingto find a driver.
Luke stared curiously at Bianca.
He got a little suspicious when he saw her entering her phone number on the app. "Can that find us a driver?"
After all, when Luke traveled, either he or the driver would be driving. He never needed to ride in a cab, nor had he ever seen a ride-hailingbefore.
"Of course. It's very convenient. Letshow you how to use it. If you want to make an appointment for a driver, you have to enter your contact information, then do this..." Bianca grinned at Luke as she explained to him patiently.
Luke quietly listened to her sweet voice and looked at her with a gentle gaze.
In about ten minutes, a bespectacled male driver in his mid-thirties arrived.
The driver was very experienced. He brought Bianca and Luke to their destination safely in just a little over half an hour.
After entering the house, Bianca went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Luke watched the bathroom door close, and he frowned slightly. His sculpted face was fraught with pain.
He took off his coat and walked to the study while pressing on his left arm.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe felt a stinging pain when he put a little pressure on it.
Luke rolled up his sleeves and saw that there was a wound. Blood was oozing out of it.
He found a first-aid kit from the caband sterilized the wound with disinfectant.
Then, he applied stopical painkiller on the wound and wrapped gauze around the injured area.
His movements were natural as though he had dealt with such wounds hundreds of times.
After he finished up, Luke quietly put the first-aid kit back in place and took a quick shower in the other bathroom. He changed into his pajamas, returned to the bedroom, and laid on the big soft bed.
Old Master Crawford missed his great-grandchildren, and so Lanie and Rainie were brought back to Crawford Manor.
Only Bianca and Luke were left in the cavernous mansion.
Luke leaned against the bed, picked up the financial newspaper on the shelf next to it, and browsed it.
Twenty minutes later, Bianca walked into the bedroom. Her long hair was half-dried.
When she saw Luke was engrossed in reading the newspaper, she quietly approached him and threw herself into his arms.
Bianca bumped into Luke's wound on his arm, and he could not help but let out a groan.
Bianca heard his painful groan.
She quickly rolled up his pajama sleeve.
When she saw the blood-stained bandage on his arm, Bianca looked at him in shock. "You... you're injured? What happened? Why didn't you tellyou were injured?"
Luke rolled down his sleeves and said calmly, "It's nothing. It's just a superficial injury. Don't worry, I've already taken care of it."
Bianca remembered how he did not hesitate to shield her body at the moment of the crash. Something in the car must have caused that wound.
"Don't do something like that anymore. I can take care of myself. Don’t you know that I'd feel worse when you're hurt instead of me...” She said guiltily.
Luke kissed her misty eyes. "You're my woman. It's my responsibility to protect you."
After speaking, Luke pulled Bianca into his chest and kissed her chattering mouth forcefully.
Bianca wanted to struggle and escape from it, but she was afraid that she would bump into his wound again, so she could only let him hug her.
When she listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat, she indulged in his tender kiss...
At spoint, Bianca's clothes were taken off and the powerful male body pressed against the woman's delicate body.
Since they had done it many times and were very familiar with each other's bodies, Luke went straight for it.
Although Bianca avoided his wound, she was still worried. "Your injury..."
Luke lowered his voice and sucked her earlobe lightly. "Relax, I'm fine."
Bianca did not have the strength to speak.
Luke looked at the blushing Bianca and whispered to her ear, "Don't worry about Nina. It'll be a little troublesome, but I'll help you since you asked me.
Bianca was a little surprised but immediately understood what he was talking about. She responded to him with even more enthusiasm.
The air in the room was thick, and the temperature rose steadily.

The Tanner House.
"Melissa, it’s already so late. Why don't you stay overnight at my house? I'll let your mother know that you’ll be staying." Lacey said affectionately as she held Melissa's hand.
She was quite satisfied with her young, distant niece.
Melissa had a good family background and just cback from studying business administration abroad. Although she was arrogant and capricious, Lacey always felt that girls should be allowed to throw harmless tantrums once in a while.
She has always hoped that the Tanner and Lerche families would be united by marriage.
When the Lerche family immigrated to a foreign country in the past, Lacey had given up that thought.
When she found out that Melissa cback, Lacey revisited those wishes.
The Lerche family ran a successful business. A marriage could only bring benefit to the Tanner family.
Melissa might be able to control her wild son too.
After Xavier met Bianca, his life was nothing but misery.
Moreover, Luke Crawford had burned bridges with the Tanner family so that her son would divorce Bianca as soon as possible. It had almost forced Tanner Corporation into bankruptcy.
Although her son divorced Bianca and Luke held to his promise, Tanner Corporation was almost destroyed. It had becan empty shell in its dying throes.
Lacey had a plan.
She could tell that Melissa had a soft spot for Xavier. If she could get her son to marry Mellisa, that would also save Tanner Corporation.
Melissa was secretly pleased. "Thank you, Aunt Lacey, I’ll stay here then. Before I went abroad, I've always been the closest to you. After not seeing you for so many years, I missed you dearly. I'd love to stay here a few more days with you."
