Chapter 103
Chapter 103 Stop Moving Around. Are You Trying To MakeTie You Up?
When Luke walked in, Bianca looked up and saw him.
When he saw that she was making the bed, the man's eyes contracted. He threw the ointment on her bed without saying a word.
Bianca stopped making the bed as her eyes inadvertently shifted to the ointment stick on the blanket. The ointment package read 'For treating mosquito bites on infants and young children'.
Old Master Crawford held up his reading glasses and saw him. He raised his head and asked his grandson, "How did you know Bea was bitten by mosquitoes?"
Luke said nothing.
’Apply the ointment quickly in case they're poisonous..." When Old Man Rayne said that, he started telling everyone in the room. "When my poor granddaughter was a child, no one cared for her. She was bitten by a forest mosquito on her eyelid once. It swelled up horribly and got infected and inflamed. If her father hadn’t cback hto bring her to the city for injections to reduce inflammation, I’m afraid she would be blind now."
"It wasn’t that serious." Bianca interrupted because she did not want Grandpa to talk about her personal stories to outsiders.
Luke stood on the edge of his big bed with his back turned to the two old men and Bianca.
The bedroom was almost 70 square meters. His bed was placed in the innermost corner while Grandpa Rayne’s temporary bed was placed below the platform. Before that, a dark sofa was placed there.
The bed Bianca was making was a temporary foldable single bed.
She had no other choice. She had to take care of her grandpa, so she had to sleep in the foldable bed.
After making the folding bed, Bianca found that there was nothing but a thin and rough blanket.
Since it was the Crawfords' home, she did not dare to simply move things around.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven if it was going to be uncomfortable from the chaffing, that would have to do for one night. Perhaps Grandpa would be better tomorrow and they would be able to leave.
"Luke, why are you being rude? Go and get a proper blanket for Bianca from the closet, you hear me?" Old Master Crawford was furious.
Bianca looked up and said, "No, Grandpa Crawford. It's alright."
To be honest, that thin blanket was the one that fell off of his bed. It was the one she gave Luke to cover his nether regions...
After Bianca said it was fine, she saw Luke striding toward the cabwith his long legs.
When she took the thin towel before, she had to step on a chair to reach for it. However, he did not even need to tiptoe before taking it out with one hand.
Soon, there was a new soft blanket placed on the foldable single bed.
"Make the blanket later. Put on the ointment first." Old Master Crawford looked at the two young people and suddenly felt that the two of them were being a little awkward.
Bianca did not want to face Luke awkwardly, so she took the ointment and went to the bathroom to apply it.
When she passed by Luke, she lowered her head and thanked him softly.
When Bianca entered the bathroom, both grandpas stared at the tall and long-legged Luke.
Old Master Crawford walked over anxiously with his hands behind his back. He looked up at his grandson and scolded, "What's up with that cold face of yours? Is this the way to talk to your future wife? From the looks of your behavior, it might seem that you're trying to be single for the rest of your life!"
"Old Crawford, leave Luke alone. Bea’s also at fault. That child just doesn't know when to give up.”
Old Man Rayne could also tell that the problem did not lie solely on Luke.
From the beginning, his granddaughter had been treating Luke distantly as if he was a stranger.
"Go and help Bea put on the ointment. See how badly she's been bitten." Old Master Crawford lowered his voice, his head about to blow up from anger.
When the bathroom door was pushed open, Bianca was applying ointment on the back of her shoulder.
Luke turned the doorknob with one hand and walked in. When he saw her slightly surprised eyes, the man walked in and closed the door behind him.
Bianca immediately took her shirt and covered her shoulders with it. She looked embarrassed as she looked at him cowardly and said, "If you want to use the bathroom, I'll leave."
When she tried to walk out of the bathroom in front of him, Luke calmly pulled her arm.
Compared to the strong physique of the man, Bianca's body was extremely petite and soft. She did not know why he pulled her back. However, she was confined between his body and the marble sink.
Although the bathroom was soundproof, the two grandfathers were outside. She did not dare to make any noise. She looked up angrily and asked him, "What are you doing?"
Luke did not say anything. Instead, he took the mosquito bite ointment, squeezed it a little on the tip of his finger, then looked at her body to find the spots where the mosquitoes had bitten.
"I can do it myself." Bianca tried to grab the ointment from his hand.
If he cto apply ointment to her, she did not need his help.
Luke did not let her take the ointment. He stared deeply into her eyes and stared at her for a long time. After she was scared from being stared down and successfully softened, he started to move and apply the ointment onto her pale neck.
She was naturally pale-skinned, so her skin was as white as snow. Therefore, the redness was particularly obvious from the bites.
The cold ointment was applied to the red and itchy affected areas. Bianca lowered her head and took a deep breath, trying to calm her increasingly disobedient heartbeat.
After applying on one spot, Luke realized that there were two more bites on her shoulders. He had already touched every inch of her body before.
Therefore, he did not hesitate when he pulled off the clothes from her shoulders.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBianca protested.
"Stop moving around. Are you trying to maketie you up?" Luke glanced at her pure eyes with his cold eyes.
Bianca looked at the bathroom door and whispered, "If Grandpa asked you to helpput the ointment on, you can just pretend to do it. I can do it myself."
She tried to take the ointment from the man's hand again.
"How did the mosquitoes bite you through your clothes?" His gaze was fixated on her skin. After meeting her again five years later, he thought that he was the only one who had kissed her skin until it turned red.
Little did he know, mosquitoes did that too.
Suddenly, he felt a tinge of jealousy. 3
As Bianca listened to what he said, she felt that the affected bitten areas becless itchy. Now, it was only cool and comfortable. She sighed. ’ Have you never been bitten by a mosquito? Mosquitoes can always get you through the clothes.'
"I've never been bitten," Luke answered seriously.
Bianca was stunned.
Perhaps the man was so cold-blooded that mosquitoes retreated when they saw him. i
After he finished applying the ointment on all of the affected areas on her body, she quickly put her clothes back on. Except for her neck and arms, she dared not expose other parts of her skin to him.
"Were you bitten on your legs too?" Luke asked, looking at her legs.
She did not have tto change out of her bodycon work skirt.
When he looked at her thighs, she shrank in embarrassment.
"It's fine, I can do my legs myself." Bianca tried to grab the mosquito bite ointment from his hand.
Luke insisted and did not let go.
Bianca looked up, and her eyes were met with his dark eyes.
It was fine to let him help put the ointment on the back part of her neck because it was harder for her to reach and see clearly. However, her legs were not a problem for her. She could have easily reached down herself without his help.
