Chapter 54 Calling Her Wifey
Lanie said to Rainie, "Grandpa Charles told me that mommy has a boyfriend already, so there's no chance she was going to get
together with daddy."
Rainie nodded her head without fully understanding what she heard.
'Then let's find a girlfriend for daddy. I think Miss Bea is a good choice." Blanche decided to give up. 'It isn’t because daddy
doesn't want mommy, it's because mommy has a boyfriend already.'
During breakfast.
Allison Tanner came from upstairs. She had already dolled up her face and said to the table full of people, "Dad, I've got
something up and will be going out now."
Old Master Crawford looked up and was about to say 'go ahead' when Susan Armstrong interrupted.
She raised a brow and laughed. "You're dressed so beautifully, and your lips are so red as if you had just eaten a child alive. Are
you going to meet up with a man?"
Other than Old Master Crawford who did not look pleased, no one else was the least bothered with the bickering that happened
daily for more than 10 years.
Allison remained calm. "Susan, don't worry, I’m not you. I won't find another man just because I can't withstand loneliness.
Zachary passed away young, I wouldn't allow him to be unrest in the afterworld."
"Who are you referring to about not being able to withstand loneliness?!" Susan turned around and angrily threw the chopsticks
on the table.
One of the maids quickly held unto Susan who was about to leap forward to have a catfight with Allison.
Susan pointed at Allison and yelled, "If it wasn't you who seduced my husband, I wouldn't be in such a state now. You f*cking
wh*re. Sh*t! I just lost my appetite looking at your stupid face early in the morning!"
Allison noticed that Old Master Crawford was about to burst into anger and she smartly refused to engage in a verbal bicker with
Susan. She took her limited edition LV handbag and gracefully left the mansion.
Susan had all the anger but no outlet to release it that she had to pound her chest in frustration.
The maid quickly helped Susan upstairs to get some rest.
Louis frowned and instructed the butler, "Get the doctor here to have a look at my mom."
Allison only managed three hours of sleep last night and hardly slept the rest of the night.
Allison had heard everything from behind the windows when Blanche and Rainie had been discussing asking their father
regarding the whereabouts of their mother at the garden last afternoon.
The identity of the children’s biological mother was so mysterious that even Old Master Crawford who was the head of the house
back then knew nothing about it...
Charles Finn and Faye Thomas were a couple that kept the secret so well that no tests or indirect questioning could get a single
clue from them, including monetary bribery.
Before Allison went out this morning, she tried to pry some information from her grandson when nobody was around.
Lanie only said, "Daddy only said that my mommy is still alive. When I tried to ask further, he told me not to go overboard..."
Luke was infamous for having a bad temper thus the children dared not probe further.
Allison could not help but wonder, 'Is Rainie and Lanie's birth mother my son's secret lover? Or some girlfriend that even I as his
mother don't know about? Or perhaps, it was some under table trade to get the children? 1
'Whatever method my son used, there must be a clue that I can find to seek for this woman that gave birth to my son's children.
'What has my son got to hide from his own mother?
'To give birth to a son for an aristocratic family was equivalent to giving birth to the next successor in line. That woman is so
patient. I don't believe that she won't want to marry into the Crawford family and live a good life?'
As a woman herself, Allison believed that she understood women very well. No woman could withstand the temptations of
getting into a rich family.
Once in her car, Allison made a phone call.
The person on the other line answered the call soon enough.
Allison looked out the window and coldly said, "I'm about to reach soon. You'd better not be playing any games, Kevin Rayne. I'm
warning you, this will be the last time, otherwise, don't blame me for ignoring our past relationship!" 4
At the same time.
Bianca was in the kitchen cooking some noodles.
She threw in a handful of vegetables, two poached eggs, and soon, the pot of aromatic soup noodles was ready to be served.
Nina had washed up and was waiting to eat the readied noodles.
Bianca was in the kitchen but her phone kept ringing.
Both of them had started work thus sometimes their colleagues would look forthem because of urgent stuff. Nina went to take a
look at Bianca's phone to see Nelly Lowe's name on the message notification thus she wanted to call Bianca to come to get her
phone.
However, the two lines of words beneath Nelly's name caught her attention.
"Bea, do you want me to forward to you the recording proving Jean was having an affair with that woman? Would it be useful for
you when you need to break up?"
Nina's blood boiled when she read that.
'Impossible?!'
Nina unlocked Bianca's phone and replied, 'Yes it does, send it over!"
Nelly then forwarded the recording over.
Nina played the recording. Not a word was missed from the conversation between Jean Langdon and Marie.
'It's a concrete fact that my big brother has betrayed Bianca...
'They even have an unborn child.
'What the f*ck!'
Nina immediately called Jean and scolded, ’You like an obedient woman yet you can't resist a slutty one? You and Marie make
such a good match, a bitch with a dog! Don’t worry, both of you will soon get syphilis and AIDS, then you can exchange it with
each other and rot together in hell!"
Bianca heard the commotion outside and quickly ran out from the kitchen to check. "Nina, what’s the matter?" 'To whom was she
growling early in the morning!
Nina ended the call and shook her head. "Nothing. I borrowed your phone to scold someone."
After breakfast on the way to work, Bianca took a look at the call history but Nina had deleted the record. The phone did not ring
either thus Bianca did not give any further thoughts to it.
Nina needed to follow her supervisor for a site visit so Bianca could not hitch a ride to work. She decided to take the subway.
As she absent-mindedly entered the subway, her mind kept thinking about Nina's abnormal behavior. The things that Nina said
were about scolding a pair of scoundrel couples.
'Is Nina in a relationship but was betrayed by the man?’
Bianca sighed in disappointment. 'Why is Nina as unfortunate as me to meet a jerk.'
At that moment, the subway was beginning to be congested by commuters. A middle-aged man purposely stood nearer to
Bianca. There were plenty of handles to grab on but he purposely wanted to share a handle with Bianca.
Bianca looked up to see a perverted man and tried to take her hands away but the man not only wanted to touch her, he even
leaned on her.
It was the peak hour for commuters to travel on the subway thus it was packed with people. Just as Bianca frowned, wondering
what could she do, a familiar force stabilized her body.
She lowered her head and was shocked to see a nice and large pair of gentleman's hands holding her.
Bianca lost her balance with that sudden hug and fell into the man's embrace.
"Wifey, are you still mad at me?' Luke's deep voice sent a tingling sensation in her ears. 1
The man's strong figure held her close, with his pampering tone and protective stance, along with the word 'wifey'. The perverted
middle-aged man had no choice but to stop whatever he intended to do.
He glanced at Luke, but just one glance and he met with Luke's icy-cold dagger stares which caused him to curl away like a
coward. He depressingly left to stand at another spot and soon disappeared into the crowd.
'Why is Luke Crawford taking the subway? I must be hallucinating...’
Bianca was being protected inside Luke's embrace where it was the safest place within the whole subway. The only thing was,
she was not comfortable with it. The subway traveled steadily, but because there were too many people, it was inevitable for
them to sway around thus having their bodies brushed against each other.
