Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 465

Chapter 465 Luke Went Down On One Knee and Looked At Her Lovingly

Bianca's body went limp after the kiss. She felt that her headache was becoming more intense.

Her eyes and ears took in the bustle of people moving about the hall, the swaying of flowers, the dancing fountains, and the melodic music.

The merriment in the hall was a stark contrast to her sorrow.

Bianca looked into the crowd.

She saw the stern Old Master Crawford smiling and talking to sguests.

Louis was overjoyed.

Susan was present. She did not smile, but she carried herself like a noblewoman.

Even Allison, who objected to their marriage the most, forced a smile on her face as she received the congratulatory greetings for her son's marriage.

On another table, Old Master Rayne and Wanda were smiling, happy that Bianca had finally found bliss.

Bianca wanted to cry when she looked at them, but she could not allow herself to shed a tear’

She forced her tears back and inadvertently saw Luke's friends among the guests: Eugene Hawking, Jim Holston, Percy Mallory, and more...

All the heirs to the major conglomerates were there.

Luke brought Bianca around and introduced her to his extended family.

"This is my paternal uncle," Luke introduced Bianca to a man in his sixties who seemed to be in good spirits.

"My elder cousin brother and sister.’ He led Bianca in front of an extremely handsyouth and a gentle-looking lady.

"My younger cousin brother." "My second uncle."

Bianca knew that the Crawfords' extended family was large, and many of his relatives would be present. As Luke continued introducing them to Bianca, she was surprised that there were so many of them. However, only a few of them were direct relatives.

Even so, all of them had Crawford genes, and they looked handsand beautiful. Even the children were better-looking than regular children.

Luke saw that Bianca was getting confused. He chuckled into her ear and reminded her, "You only have to remember the direct relatives. We won't be meeting the others that often, so you only have to remember their faces.

"Mm," Bianca answered carelessly. She turned her head and noticed Mr. and Mrs. Norman and their daughter.

Leia, dressed up impeccably, was glaring at her coldly.

Bianca could see a hint of condescension, mockery, and even smugness in her gaze.

What made Bianca the most surprised was the woman who had threatened her with the CD was... sitting next to Queenie...

Alarm bells rang in her head. How did that woman sneak into the event? 1

What relationship did she have with the Norman family?

Countless gazes in the hall were focused on Bianca. Among them were sentiments of curiosity, criticism, awe, envy, and even jealousy.

All that because Luke Crawford, the pride of the Crawford family, was about to be engaged to an unremarkable woman.

Four full chests were placed on the stage. They were the wedding gifts from Luke to Bianca. Neat stacks of hundred-dollar bills were tied up in pink ribbons.

More than that were a countless number of gold bars, brilliant diamond rings, deeds to mansions, and all sorts of gold and silver jewelry and luxury watches. It was a dazzling sight.

The guests could not help but be impressed. Only the Crawford family could afford such lavish gifts!

That had also told them how important the bride was to Luke.

Otherwise, why would Luke shower her with that much wealth at the engagement ceremony? She was not anyone important.

Instead of feeling excited, Bianca's palms started sweating when she noticed the beguiling woman in the hall.

Her grip on Luke's elbow bectighter. She felt cold all over her body, and her face started turning pale.

She forced herself to maintain the smile on her face and a steady step as she and Luke walked from the edge of the stage to the center.

The distance was less than a hundred feet, but it felt like a long and arduous journey.

The MC announced the start of the ceremony.

Luke's sculpted face was not cold and harsh as usual. Because of his good mood, his gaze was warm and enchanting as he looked at Bianca.

He hugged Bianca as his well-built body stood in front of the microphone. Facing the audience, he made a joyous speech. "Thank you, everyone, for attending my engagement ceremony. At this moment, I am in a good mood, because I am about to be engaged with the woman I love. I thought that I would remain single for all my life, but I did not expect that I would be so lucky to meet her. She is a kind and gentle woman, and she has brought warmth to my life. I will spend the rest of my life loving, protecting, and pampering her. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank her grandfather and aunt for taking care of her. Without them, I would not have my wife."

His speech was greeted with thunderous applause.

Old Master Rayne and Wanda looked at the handsyoung man on the stage. Their eyes filled up with tears of joy and gratitude as they looked at the man who was willing to pamper Bianca like a treasure.

As Bianca listened to Luke's simple yet moving speech, the tears in her eyes threatened to fall.

His words had made her forget her sorrow and immersed her in bliss.

She knew that the usually serious Luke was not very good at flowery language, and he was always cold-faced while in public situations. She did not expect him to make that speech in front of everyone.

She felt so many emotions in her heart.

Luke was holding a ring with a diamond as big as a quail egg. He went down on one knee and said to Bianca affectionately, "Bianca Rayne, I would like to take your hand in marriage. I want to walk together

with you on an amazing journey and take in all the splendid sights of the world. Bianca Rayne, are you willing to be my wife?" 'Yes, I do! I want to be your wife and love you for the rest of my life!' Bianca screamed in her heart as she was charmed by Luke's gentle voice and demeanor.

Subconsciously, she stretched out her left hand, allowing Luke to wear the diamond ring on her ring finger.

Inadvertently, she lifted her head and saw that beguiling woman smirking coldly at her.

The woman whispered something into Jack's ear, which caused his expression to suddenly turn serious!

Then, the woman took out something round and flat from her gown and handed it to Jack...
