Chapter 290 Let’s Help Daddy Win Miss Bea's Heart!
Crawford Manor.
Lanie and Rainie sat on the soft couch in the living room, though they were not playing cheerfully as before.
They were wearing frowns on their long faces.
The children's childish faces looked like adults, which seemed quite comedic.
Rainie looked at her brother unhappily and said, ' Big Bro, our house is much bigger than Miss Bea's house, but I don't feel
happy at all. I want to live together with Miss Bea..."
Luke and Bianca had a peculiar relationship. Bianca had told the two children that they could call her "Mommy" in private.
However, when they were not at her house, they had to call her "Miss Bea."
The two children did not understand why they could not call their mother" Mommy" in front of other people, but they were
obedient children and listened to their mother.
Lanie sat on the couch. He took in a deep breath, then spread out his arms helplessly like a little adult. "I want to live with her
too, but the main point is, Daddy is too silly. He still hasn't won Miss Bea's heart yet. If Daddy marries Miss Bea, we can stay
together with her every day."
Rainie widened her eyes delightedly. "Really? Big Bro, shall we help Daddy with winning Miss Bea's heart?"
Lanie replied, "Mm, but we have to come up with a plan. Right, we can ask Uncle Xavier. He always has many pretty ladies by
his side. Everyone says that Uncle Xavier is a playboy, which means that he has experience with courtship." "What’s a playboy,
Big Bro?" Rainie asked.
Lanie was wondering how he should explain it to Rainie. "A playboy is a man who likes to flirt with pretty girls. You see how
Uncle Xavier always dresses up in colorful clothes, right? That's what usually playboys love to wear..."
Rainie seemed to have understood something. She nodded and said, "Oh... I understand now. So that's a playboy! I love pretty
girls too, Big Bro. You should wear colorful clothes like Uncle Xavier too, and many pretty girls will like you! You should be a
playboy too, Big Bro!"
Lanie was speechless.
Lanie pressed her palm on his forehead. He did not know how to talk to his sister anymore.
The caretaker, who was cleaning up the toys, could not help but laugh when she heard the two children's innocent conversation.
"What are you laughing about, Granny Florence? Was I wrong?" Rainie looked at the caretaker with her puppy eyes.
Lanie looked seriously at the caretaker. He acted just like a mini Luke Crawford, which made Granny Florence startled.
"It's nothing. What fruits would you like after dinner tonight, Young Master Lanie and Young Miss Rainie? I'll prepare them for
you..." The caretaker quickly changed the topic of conversation.
"I don't want fruits. I only want Miss Bea." Rainie said with her childish voice.
As she spoke, tears started to well up in her eyes. Lanie held his sister's hand tightly, not sure how to comfort her. To be frank,
he wanted to live with Miss Bea too.
The caretaker was at a loss of what to do.
Bianca was like a thorn in the Crawfords' side. She occupied an awkward position in the family. Allison hated her, and even Old
Master Crawford, who had acknowledged her at first, had started to reject her. Susan, on the other hand, was silently observing
from the sidelines.
The only Crawford family members who accepted Bianca were Luke and the two children.
Old Master Crawford came down from the stairs with his walking stick.
He was perplexed when he saw that the two children were obviously in a bad mood. "What’s wrong?" He asked.
Old Master Crawford might be old, but he nonetheless wielded authority in the household.
He had spent his life amid the most powerful and influential in the city and knew how to carry himself with authority. When he
cast his stern gaze, even Allison and Susan dared not misbehave.
Everyone in the Crawford family feared him, except for Luke.
However, the old man loved his great-grandchildren very much.
The two children carried Luke's genes, and Lanie, the great-grandson, looked and behaved like Luke when he was younger.
Rainie, the great- granddaughter, looked adorable and sweet. She might be timid, but she had a way with words.
The two children were smart and precocious, which always made Old Master Crawford happy. He loved the two children a lot.
Now that he saw them frowning, he asked his two great-grandchildren, "Did someone bully you? Tell your Great-Grandpa."
Lanie looked at Old Master Crawford with his puppy eyes and begged, "I miss Miss Bea, Great-Grandpa. Can you let Miss Bea
come and live with us?"
Rainie hugged Old Master Crawford’s leg. "Miss Bea is a good cook, GreatGrandpa. If you don't believe me, you can ask her to
cook for you when she moves in with us."
Old Master Crawford's expression changed instantly. "That Bianca? You have to keep a distance from her. She’s not going to
marry your father, and the two of you will have a new mother soon. Understand?"
Old Master Crawford was stubborn and old-fashioned. People of his generation placed a lot of importance on the reputation of
the household.
Bianca was married to a Tanner, who shared close relations with the Crawfords. Even if she divorced Xavier, Old Master
Crawford would not let her remarry into the Crawford family.
He did not want Luke, the grandson that he was most proud of, to be criticized by others!
He would have been able to accept it if not that Xavier and Bianca's marriage was publicly known!
Facing Old Master Crawford's frighteningly serious face, and hearing that they would have a new mother soon, Rainie burst into
tears. "I don't want someone else to be my mother!" She wailed, hopped down from the couch, and ran upstairs.
Lanie glanced at Old Master Crawford.
That was the first time the little boy looked at the great-grandfather with resentment. After which, he followed his sister up the
stairs.
Old Master Crawford watched their backs. His hand holding the walking stick trembled slightly, then he sighed heavily.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.
It was drizzling as night fell. People were shivering from the cold, though the entertainment outlets in the city remained as
bustling and lively as ever.
In a VIP private room.
Pierre Mallory treated Nina like a toy. She was almost naked.
He paid no attention to the hatred in Nina's eyes.
Nina's tears had already run dry, though she was protective of her own body like a hedgehog. If one day she could get the better
of Pierre, she swore that she would return the humiliation tenfold!
