When the two little kids went down, they saw a luxury car parked in front of the
manor.
'A black Range Rover! Daddy's back!"
"Aunt Bea, we missed you..." The two kids ran out. The first thing Rainie did was hug Bianca who just cout
of the car.
Bianca almost lost her balance. She squatted down to pat Rainnie's chubby little cheeks. "I missed you too."
When the old man saw the perfect family scene, he was overjoyed. It seemed to him that his grandson's
marriage was imminent.
If the adults agreed and the kids did not hate the stepmother, then there was nothing stopping them.
"The two of you, stand properly over there. Don't drag Aunt Bea that way." Luke stepped down from the car with
his long legs and stared at the two clingy little kids with a serious face.
Rainie pursed her lips, snorted, and muttered, "Why is that you can hug her, but not us? Last time, you hugged
Aunt Bea so hard that she cried..."
Luke,
Bianca blushed awkwardly.
"So you're the Aunt Bea that the children always talk about. | have to say, Luke sure knows how to choose
them." The old man rushed over and tried to curry his grandson's future wife's favor.
The old man straightened his back. He was wearing a pair of dark gray trousers, a mini checkered shirt, and a
vest. He was dressed very dapperly and fashionably, just like an old man who cstraight out of a French
magazine. 1
Bianca stood up immediately and said respectfully," Hello, Grandpa. I'm Bianca."
"Welcome. Please, cin and have a seat. These two children seem to know you very well. You guys seem
close. I'm happy to see you guys getting along well." The old man treated Bea as if she was already his
granddaughter-in-law.
The nanny cout to get gifts from the car.
The things that Bianca bought were not expensive things. Even though they were not luxury goods, the old man
liked them very much when he saw them. He thought that Bea was a realistic person, not blandish. She did not
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttry to be someone she was not.
Louis made sure his mother was okay before he went downstairs.
"Hello Sister-in-law, I'm Louis. I'm his half-brother. We share the sdad..."
Bianca, who was suddenly addressed as ‘sister-in-law
stood up awkwardly. She knew that Luke had a younger brother, but she did not know much about the
complicated relationships of the Crawford family.
No one really knew whether the tabloids were real or fake news.
"Hello, my name's Bianca." Bianca greeted him.
Everyone sat down and started talking.
Luke asked Bianca to sit next to him. Whether it was Grandpa, the two little ones, or his half-brother with the
sdad, Luke knew he had to filter and block sthings before they got to her. He had to be the one who
decided what questions they could ask.
"Bea, how old will you be this year?" the old man asked.
"24 years old," Bianca answered.
"Luke is five years older than you? A difference of five years sounds great. Here, | have an article to show you
guys," the old man said as he dug out a newspaper from the drawer of the coffee table and handed it to Bianca.
Louis was speechless and thought that his grandpa surely had his tricks up his sleeves.
Their coffee table was brand new, so why would there be a newspaper in the drawer? He knew straight away
that his grandpa had known about their five-year age difference and prepared something in advance.
Bianca took a look at it.
According to the newspaper, a study showed that relationships where the man was 5 years older than the
woman were the least likely to have conflicts. Apparently, those marriages ended up well and were relatively
much more stable.
"Where's Grandma?" Blanche asked with furrowed brows.
He looked very serious as if he was the one who cared most about Aunt Bea's official visit to the house.
Luke glanced at his son and noticed that he was wearing a small black suit with a white shirt and a bow tie. If
anyone saw him, they would think that he was the one who was supposed to bring his wife to meet his family
that day.
"You've got hairspray all over your head. Aren't you worried that flies that land on your head are going to slip and
fall to their death?" Louis touched the back of his little nephew's black hair and said, "Did you finish up the entire
can of my hairspray?"
Blanche thought that his uncle was reckless and had spoiled his image in front of his entire family on this
occasion. Furthermore, he was embarrassed that his uncle did this in front of Aunt Bea.
Fortunately, the empathetic Aunt Bea smiled at him and even stretched out her hand to pull him away from his
embarrassment.
He got to sit next to Aunt Bea. Blache peeked at his dad who glared at him with his cold stare. However, he did
not hold back. Even though that was his dad, he stared right back as if saying, 'l bet you wish you wereat my
age now."
The old man was afraid that Bianca would misunderstand the situation to mean that the family did not take her
seriously. He explained. "Luke's mother has a very important fashion party to attend today. It's my fault for
failing to do the proper scheduling. When | heard that Luke had a girlfriend, | was too excited to meet you. |
should've let you choose when you wanted to do this dinner.
"However, Luke's mother will be back soon."
OAOI
Bianca had seen Luke's mother in a magazine before. Every ta noblewoman
or an A-lister were invited to a party, Allison would always be invited as well.
She was about to say it was okay when she heard the sound of a car at the gate.
"Is Grandma back?" Rainie got out of her greatgrandfather's arms and ran to the door to greet her.
Allison got out of the car and walked in beautifully.
Bianca swallowed down what she was about to say and stood up when Luke did.
"Grandma, Aunt Bea is here..." Rainie said as she went outside to hold onto her grandma's LV bag. She slid it
across her short chubby arm.
Allison cin with a big smile on her face and said to the female stranger, "Sorry to keep you waiting | didn't
know you were coming." "Oh, it's no problem. We just got here. Everything was in a rush and didn't get to tell
you in advance as well," Bianca said politely and accepted Allison's warm hug.
"Mom, sit." Luke did not want Bianca to socialize courteously with them for too long because it would be very
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtiring. Therefore, he quickly pulled Bianca's body over gently and took her out of his mother's arms.
Grandpa saw the scene and nodded in satisfaction.
'Just a sentence and he's already worried that it'll tire his future wife's voice box out? It seems that this grandson
of mine will be whipped in the future.’
"Bea, is it? | heard our Bainie calling you that. What's your last name?" Allison sat down and asked.
"My last nis..." Before she could finish her sentence, Bianca saw a middle- aged woman in a floral gipao
walking down the stairs. She did not look happy and had an aggressive aura with a glass of red fruit juice in her
hand.
"You b*tch! You can put away your act now!" Susan walked swiftly with her slight tummy. When she cursed
Allison, she splashed the glass of juice at her face. When the juice was splashed, she put the glass down heavily.
She looked at everyone who was present and said, "What? Were you scared that I'll make snoise so you got
my son to lockin my room?"
Bianca was shocked and stood up. She did not know who the woman wearing the
Gucci gipao was.
The nanny rushed over and wiped the juice from Allison's face with a tissue paper. Without a word, Luke sat
there motionless as if it was not his mother who had a glass of juice splashed on her.
The two little kids merely pursed their lips and kept quiet as if it was something that they were already used to.
"Mom, listen toand go upstairs!" Louis stood up and tried to stop her.
Susan pushed her son away like a madwoman and turned around with the stench
of alcohol on her. She looked at Bianca and suddenly sneered at her. It was a smile so cold that it could send a
shiver down one's spine...
