Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 977

Chapter 977 A Crisis in Their Marriage?

Bianca wiped away the tears on her face and shook her head. "It's nothing, Aunt Wanda." 1

Wanda remained suspicious. Why would Bianca suddenly cry if nothing was happening? She handed her a napkin. "Don't use your hands. They might be dirty. Also, what's going on?"

Luke took the napkin and wiped Bianca's tears. "It's my fault, Aunt Wanda. I made her cry.”

Bianca shook her head to indicate that it was not the case.

Wanda felt quite worried as she looked at the married couple who did not say anything.

"It's nothing major, Aunt Wanda, and it's also not Luke's fault. Don't worry," Bianca sniffed and said.

She had not cried for a long time, and she could not hold her tears back.

For a while, she thought that their marriage was facing a crisis. Her weak heart could not take it.

Wanda felt a little more at ease after hearing the reassurance from Bianca. "I'll get an ice pack for you. I wouldn't want the two elders to think that something happened between the two of you." "Thank you, Aunt Wanda." Bianca smiled. After Wanda left, she held Luke's hand again and promised him, "I didn't think through it before acting earlier. I won't do that again."

Luke lifted his hand and gently caressed her cheek.

Wanda cback and handed an ice pack to Luke. "Help her massage her eyes, Luke. They're red like a rabbit's eyes. Cback in when she's feeling better. The sun is setting soon. The lightbulb blew out, and I haven't found someone to fix it yet." "Mm." Luke took the ice pack and used it to gently massage Bianca's eyes.

Bianca reflexively wanted to move away when she felt the sudden coldness on her face, but Luke's warm fingers held her head. Those were two extrsensations.

Luke massaged her for a while before letting her go.

Bianca's puffy eyes were feeling better. "Don't cry anymore," he said.

"I couldn't help myself." Bianca felt a little embarrassed. She had not been so emotional for a while, and she could not hold back her tears when she found that Luke cared for her.

Luke held the ice pack in one hand and Bianca's hand in the other. "Let's go in." "Alright." Bianca smiled sweetly and leaned onto him.

Once inside, Old Master Crawford beckoned at Luke and said, "Chere, Luke, and play a gfor me."

Old Master Rayne could not help but take a dig at him, "Tsk, Old Master Crawford, I haven't met you in a while, and your chess skills are worse than before. Are you asking for Luke's help?" "I taught Luke how to play chess," Old Master Crawford said matter-of- factly, "So what's wrong if I ask him to avenge me?"

Luke held Bianca's hand and walked over there. He glanced at the chessboard and noticed that Old Master Crawford's pieces were surrounded. Indeed, he was caught in a tight spot.

Old Master Crawford pointed at the seat next to him and said, "Cand helpin this game, Luke."

He had already lost two games in a row, and he did not want to lose again.

Luke did not refuse. He sat on the chair and said to Old Master Rayne, "I'll play with you, Grandpa."

Old Master Rayne nodded. "Alright, I'll defeat the two of you then!"

Bianca refilled their cups with tea and went to the kitchen to help her aunt.

Wanda was in the middle of preparing dinner, and Bianca went to help her.

Wanda noticed Bianca and saw that the redness around her eyes had dissipated. "Why aren't you sitting outside?" She asked.

"I'm here to help you." Bianca did not want her aunt to prepare dinner for so many people alone.

Wanda was indeed slightly overworked. She pointed at the cabbages on the counter, "Please wash the cabbages forthen." "Alright." Bianca rolled up her sleeves and brought the cabbages to the sink. "Grandpa seems quite healthy, Aunt Wanda. Has he been going to his monthly check-ups?"

Wanda nodded. "Luke's doctor will cevery month to check on him. He was so happy last night when he knew that you were coming. He said that he wanted to sleep early so that he could see you soon. He's better today because he had enough rest."

Bianca knew that Old Master Rayne doted upon her and felt guilty that she had been too busy to visit him. Despite knowing that Bianca was not his biological granddaughter, his love for her did not decrease by the slightest bit, and he treated her just like his own biological granddaughter.

'Til cand visit Grandpa more often in the future,” she promised.

Wanda smiled. "The thought alone is enough. You're already busy with your career and family, so you don't have to worry too much. Also, you have to visit your birth parents and Luke's family to maintain your relationship with them."

Wanda knew the difficulties that Bianca was facing, so she was not too hard on her.

"I know, Aunt Wanda," Bianca smiled and said. They might not be related by blood, but they remained close to each other.

"I know you know that, Bea, but you're still young, and there are sthings that you're not doing properly. When your grandpa was sick earlier, Mr. and Mrs. Norman cto visit often and brought many presents. I've cross-stitched a piece lately, and you can bring it home. Please helpto give it to Mr. and Mrs. Norman when you're free," Wanda said.

Bianca wiped her hands and hugged Wanda’s shoulders. "You're so nice, Aunt Wanda." "Right, there's something else." Wanda enjoyed the intimate moment with

Bianca. She had watched her niece grow up and had treated her as her daughter.

"What is it?" Bianca continued to wash the vegetables.

"Earlier, Luke suggested that we move to a house near yours so that it's easier for your grandpa to visit the children. I've discussed it with your grandpa. He thinks that it's a good idea, but it's very expensive to buy a house there, not to mention that the current house is closer to the hospital. That's why we've decided not to move. Please thank him on our behalf."

Bianca was surprised. She did not expect Luke to do so many things without her knowledge.

"It's not that expensive, Aunt Wanda. Also, the price will appreciate in the future," she said, knowing that Luke was making arrangements for her.

"It's fine. Your grandpa likes it here. He's already old, and he might not be used to a new environment. I'll be worried if he can't sleep," Wanda said.

Bianca did not insist after Wanda said that. Rest was very important for the old man.

The two women made dinner together. When the fragrance wafted out of the kitchen, Tommy said, "I'm hungry, Daddy."

Luke fed his youngest son a grape. "Have sfruits first."

Tommy did not look appeased as he chewed the grape.

Wanda cto the living room and said, "Father, Old Master Crawford, Luke, dinner is ready."

Old Master Crawford had lost many games and was unwilling to admit defeat. "We'll leave this here and continue after dinner. I'll definitely be able to beat you!" "I'm not afraid of you!" Old Master Rayne said with a smile. He patted Lanie's head and said, "I'm good, right?"

Lanie nodded and said truthfully, "You're a good chess player, GreatGrandpa, but Daddy is better."
