Chapter 474 You Are More Important Than My Future!
"What? Aren't you worried about your safety?"
Bianca's eyes opened wide when she heard what Luke said. She tried to stop her heart from beating too hard.
She had lived those past few days in agony because she could not find a solution.
Every night, she would have nightmares of Luke being taken away by enforcement officers. She would wake up drenched in
sweat, but she was helpless about it.
She did not expect that Luke already knew about the CD with the incriminating evidence, but he was not worried at all.
Did he not know the grave consequences if the contents of the CD were leaked?
Luke's big hand gripped Bianca's lower jaw hard and made her chin hurt." Why didn't you tell me that something so serious
happened? Don't you know that I was so relieved when I knew that you rejected my proposal because of the CD, but at the
same time, I was angry because you didn't tell me?"
Bianca fell silent.
She did not know how to tell him; she did not want any harm to come to him.
Looking at Luke's handsome face seething in cold anger, Bianca was caught in a daze. It seemed that every time he was angry
at her, it was because she had done something wrong.
She clenched her fists and averted Luke's stern gaze. "I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have kept it from you, but I was really afraid
that your future will be affected by this incident..."
Luke's body trembled.
He looked at her lips that were swollen because of his punishment." Between my future and yours, you are more important. Do
you understand?
If you face any troubles, you should tell me instead of keeping it to yourself and suffering alone. Not only will it cause a
misunderstanding between us, but we'll also fall into their trap. Don't you know that?"
Bianca dared not look at his face and instead transfixed her gaze on Luke's exquisite wristwatch. "I'm sorry..." "Don't ever say
'Sorry' to me again! If you ever encounter a similar situation again, the first thing you have to do is tell me. I'll think of a solution
no matter what." Luke shook his head, and his expression sank.
He did not know how to fix Bianca's bad habit of saying "Sorry" without any good reason.
"Mm," Bianca replied. At that time, her stomach started growling, which broke the tense atmosphere.
Her cheeks blushed.
Luke laughed. "Are you hungry? You're not fulfilling your responsibilities as a mother. Won't I feel sorry for you and the baby if
you starve yourself? Let's go and have lunch."
Luke carried Bianca and headed to the dining hall.
Bianca hugged his neck and said embarrassedly, "You can let me down. I might be pregnant, but my legs still work fine. I can
walk myself."
She was afraid that she would be heavier with the extra body in her womb, and that might tire him.
Luke looked at her. "You're my wife. There's no one in the world that I would carry but you. What, should I carry Lanie and Rainie
instead? They're already grown up, and they'll have their significant others to carry in the future. They don't need me."
Bianca was speechless.
'What is he saying? If not that the twins look so similar to Luke, I would've thought that he isn't their real father.'
In the dining hall.
Melodic music resounded in the air while the roses on the dining table gave off a light fragrance.
The food served for lunch was all suitable for pregnant women.
Luke had hired a famous nutritionist to devise a specialized menu for Bianca. It was very nutritious for both the mother and the
baby.
After talking heart to heart with Luke in the living room, Bianca seemed to be free from the curse that had plagued her.
Some things that she found unsolvable were nothing but child's play in Luke's eyes.
She thought that hiding it from him would be for his own good, but that had ended up making him worry about her instead.
Bianca thought that the two of them should be more open to each other from now on. 3
Luke put some chicken on Bianca's plate. She ate in small bites.
She had only taken a bit when she thought of something. "How are you going to deal with the CD, Luke? The evidence inside
doesn't look too good for you. I... I didn't accede to the woman's threat and leave you. Won't she publicize the contents?
Wouldn't that be bad for you? Why would such a CD exist? Could someone have faked it? Did you really do it?" She asked
worriedly.
Luke patted Bianca's head. "When I took over Crawford Industries ten years ago, the company was heavily in debt, and many
banks withdrew their funding. Many of our clients did not help us, but some instead plotted against us. Crawford Industries was
on the verge of ruin.
"I had no other choice but to take certain risks. The property industry was booming back then, and I could see that future
prospects in the industry were endless. That was why I bought off Mr. Schmidt, who was the vice secretary back then, got a plot
of land from him, and turned Crawford Industries's fortune around.
"I didn't expect that old fox to keep evidence of that transaction. Don't worry, I have a solution for it, but I'll need your cooperation
for it to succeed. You might have to suffer for a bit in this period, Bea."
Luke had already thought of how to solve the problem.
However, Bianca had to cooperate with him and pretend that they broke up.
Bianca looked at Luke seriously. "Alright, I am willing to do anything for you, as long as it can clear you of your crime."
She knew that she was harboring a crime, but Bianca did not hesitate to do so, only because the man was her most loved.
Bianca had seen in the news that certain female criminals would take the blame for the men they loved, even if it involved drug
trafficking or murder. She used to think that they were stupid for ruining their own future for a criminal.
Now that she was in the same position, she suddenly could empathize with them. Those women were not stupid, but they were
willing to do stupid things because of love.
They knew that they would be falling into an inescapable abyss, but they did not hesitate to do so because of love.
She would do the same thing for Luke. Putting up an act was nothing; she would even give up her life.
