Chapter 178 The Amorous Relationship in the Kitchen!
Bianca busied herself in the kitchen.
She heard the two little kids playing around in the living room. After a while, she heard Rainie letting out a little howl before
everything went silent.
Bianca stopped plucking the vegetables and went out to take a look. She squatted down and removed Rainie's hand that was
rubbing her eye. "What happened?”
"I accidentally poked my eye," Rainie said while blaming herself.
She made Aunt Bea worried!
"Are you okay? You can tell me if it hurts." Bianca approached her with her gaze filled with kindness. She blew gently on the
gauze over Rainie's eye.
Rainie said sweetly, "I don't feel any pain when Aunt Bea blows it for me."
Bianca saw that the little girl was indeed not in any pain anymore and smiled warmly. She caressed her head. 'Then be a dear
and do your homework with Lanie. We'll be able to eat soon."
Rainie nodded.
Blanche took out his bag and opened it to find his pencil and books. Then, he started doing his homework with his sister.
The two children longed for the love of a mother, so they were afraid of making any mistakes. They were scared of losing Aunt
Bea who was like a mother to them.
The only weapon they could use was to be obedient and lovable.
Bianca went back to the kitchen in satisfaction after she saw the two kids doing their homework obediently.
Cooking was not usually something that would make her happy, but it was a joyous thing for Bianca to cook for Rainie and Lanie.
"Do you need help?" A deep masculine voice sounded behind Bianca.
After removing her high heels when she got home from work, Bianca was only five foot four. Compared to Luke, who was six feet
two, their height difference was extremely evident. It made her look petite.
Bianca wanted to shake her head to refuse when she saw the man's slender fingers reaching over to take away the potato that
she was about to peel.
Everyone who knew Luke would probably guess that an eligible bachelor like him would have an interesting nightlife.
He would have all kinds of socialites, young misses, and influencers throwing themselves at him.
To fully describe this man's interesting nightlife, one could only describe him as having all kinds of beautiful women in his arms.
If not, it would not be interesting enough!
However, who could imagine that the boss of T Corporation, the country's number one registered architect and the head of the
directors of design with a status higher than all of the directors of design in T Corporation, would be peeling potato skins in a little
rented apartment that was less than 60 square feet. 1
Despite Bianca being not as lovestruck as the other women, she was still extremely surprised by the sight she saw.
"I think... I think I should do this." Bianca watched him from one side. She did not go and clean the other vegetables.
It felt weird to see the boss peeling potatoes.
"I brought my entire family to eat at your place. I'm afraid that you’ll complain about me if I don't at least help out." The man was
focused on peeling the potatoes.
Perhaps the potato could not stand being tortured by Luke, so it slipped from his grip and the peeler landed directly on his hand.
Bianca's eyes widened. She did not know whether to get the first aid kit from the living room or to turn on the tap for him to wash
the wound.
"Why are you so careless? I told you I'll do it...” Bianca made him wash the wound himself. After she said that with a frown, she
took the first aid kit into the kitchen. 2
The blood was completely washed away by the water before fresh blood poured out from his wound again.
After Bianca applied some antibiotic cream on his wound, she took out a bandaid to put on Luke's wound carefully.
Luke did not even frown during the entire process. He looked at the woman who was way shorter than him. She was mumbling
warmly about how careless he was while taking care of his wound.
Bianca mumbled a lot of things, and after she calmed down, she realized perhaps she was too concerned about this.
Suddenly, the air between the two of them became amorous.
"I’m going to cook. The hob is pretty old, so some of the smell might not get absorbed," Bianca turned on the bog and said
without turning around.
She was indirectly telling him to leave.
Not only did Luke not leave, he even lit up a cigarette. As he was smoking, he glued his eyes on her back and watched as she
cooked. 1
He could not have enough of her.
The kitchen was tiny, and Bianca was busy cooking. When she turned around to take the condiments from her tiny fridge, she
saw a wisp of smoke and the man's defined features. Plus, his eyes were also looking at her heatedly.
She quickly took the condiments and stirred the vegetables in the pot. She said to the person behind her, 'The kitchen is too
small. You should go out and wait."
"I'm afraid that the smoke will choke the children." He used the excuse of protecting the children to stay in the kitchen. He said
that the kitchen had a hob, so it was suitable for him to smoke here.
Bianca could not help but curse silently, 'You should just stay in the kitchen forever then.'
The dinner was hearty.
When Bianca walked out with the dishes, she felt her face heating up. Perhaps the kitchen was too hot, so she felt as if she was
being toasted inside.
During dinner, the children were sitting on the north and south end of the table. They were between the adults who were sitting
on the east and west sides.
For the Crawfords, they were not allowed to talk during dinner, but Bianca did not know that.
At the end of the day, no one talked at the dining table.
When they were almost finished, Lanie looked at the empty plate in front of him and placed his fork down shyly. "Aunt Bea, can I
still stay here?"
Of course, Bianca would be more than happy to let him. She even wanted Rainie and Lanie to stay here every day.
However, she still needed their father's permission.
Luke was done as well. He got up and looked at the children. "Be nice.
Don't disturb Aunt Bea."
"Yay! Hooray, Daddy!” Blanche jumped down from the chair and lifted his head. “Daddy, please take me and Rainie to get new
pajamas."
Bianca lifted her hand and knocked herself on her head vexedly. She had only bought groceries and slippers just now. She forgot
to get them pajamas.
Perhaps she would let Jason get some for them from Crawford Manor in the morning.
When Luke picked up his suit jacket, he turned back to look at Bianca. He was apologetic. "I have something to take care of
tonight, so you should take them.”
After hesitating for a while, Bianca nodded without saying anything.
After they were done, Bianca cleared the table silently. The little kids also helped her out.
How would Bianca let the kids do this? However, she did not want to reject the kids’ kindness, so she handed Lanie four spoons
and Rainie four forks for them to take to the kitchen.
Luke had already grabbed his suit jacket, but he did not leave yet. His eyes were on Bianca. He frowned slightly when he
detected that she was not in a great mood.
He noticed that Bianca was pretty out of it ever since they picked up the kids after work. She became even more inattentive
when he said he had to take care of something tonight.
Did she not want him to leave?
Luke could not come up with any other excuses.
"Remember, don't run around when you guys go shopping with Aunt Bea. Also, after you guys come back, remember to shower
before going to bed. I'm going now." Rainie and Lanie blinked their huge eyes after their father reminded them. Then, they
watched him leave. 2
Luke lifted his head to look at the kitchen and saw Bianca washing the dishes with her back to him. Was this woman mad at him?
