Chapter 547 Bianca, Who's Looking For Her Mother...
Soon, it was time to get off work.
Thinking that he had not taken Bianca out for dinner for a long time, Luke drove Bianca to a fancy restaurant for dinner.
Shakira ran the restaurant, and the dining environment here was excellent. 1
The music from the melodious violin wafted through the entire space. The place overlooked the city's scenic lake and one could
admire the sight by the French windows. They also served a variety of delicacies.
As they were regular customers she was familiar with, Shakira served them personally.
She placed the last dish on the table and said happily, "Luke, what have you been up to all this time? I haven't seen you for a
long time. I missed you."
Although Shakira got along well with Queenie, she did not have much contact with Allison. However, she was very fond of Luke.
Plus, her husband was close with Zachary, so she was naturally more attentive to Zachary's son.
Shakira had watched Luke grow up, so to speak, and sometimes, she was even more like his mother than Allison.
As a result, sometimes Luke would rather talk to her than his mother when he was upset.
"I've been a little busy with work these days. That's why I haven't been coming here. I'll come here whenever I have time. Maybe
you'll get tired of me coming here every day," quipped Luke.
"You're so loquacious." Shakira's gaze then fell on Bianca.
Shakira raised an eyebrow when she saw Bianca's bare and pretty little face. "Luke, if I remember correctly, is this the girl you
first introduced to me? Is she Bian... Bianca?"
Shakira had already found the girl strangely familiar last time.
She was young but did not have on even light makeup. Her standard heartshaped face was as translucent as white opal. She
had really good skin.
Her eyes were large and dark, and her lashes were long and dense. You could tell at first glance that she was an obedient and
quiet girl.
Luke held Bianca's hand with a gentle look in his eyes. "Yes, this is Bianca, the woman I love the most."
Bianca blushed at his sudden confession. She looked at Shakira with embarrassment, said hello, and then lowered her head
again.
'A shy and self-conscious girl,' Shakira remarked to herself.
She had no idea how a girl with such a character could handle the forceful and overbearing Luke.
Her friend's son had always been arrogant, and she had expected that the woman to conquer him would be a swift and fierce
woman who was smooth and slick.
However, looking at the way her friend's son was in love, which was a far cry from his frosty behavior when he was with Leia,
Shakira knew he had fallen head over heels for the girl.
Shakira had learned a little through Queenie about the entanglement between these three young people.
Leia had always had a crush on Luke, but the man was attached to a woman, and that woman was Bianca.
Later, Bianca and Luke went their separate ways after Bianca refused to marry him at their engagement party.
Then, Leia got the chance to be Luke's fiancee.
However, after everything that had happened, Luke and Leia's engagement party was also ruined. He got back together with
Bianca, but Leia tried to commit suicide.
Shakira had no idea what on earth had happened between them, but she was also present at the scene and could see at a
glance that Luke did not love Leia at all.
Just like Queenie, she was not optimistic about Leia and Luke’s relationship from the start. However, Leia persisted, which led to
the tragedy now.
Although Shakira's heart ached for Leia, she would rather see Luke happy. After all, she knew better than anyone how much the
boy had suffered all these years.
With irresponsible parents like Zachary and Allison, Luke had been in great misery for most of his life. She did not want to see
him follow the same path as his parents.
With a sigh, Shakira began to persuade Luke. "I know you won't let go easily once you set your mind on something or someone.
I found her kind and good-hearted the first time I met her. I also believe you have a good eye for people. You're not getting any
younger, and you're old enough to get married now. Don't end up hurting others as well as yourself and do the girl wrong..."
Shakira glanced pointedly at Bianca's belly.
"When all this is over, I'll give Bea a big wedding. You must come," Luke took Bianca in his arms and said happily.
"Of course! Tell me in advance when you're getting married. I'll prepare a great gift for you. You two should have dinner first. I'll
leave you alone." Grinning from ear to ear, Shakira spoke a little more before leaving.
After Shakira left, Luke's thin lips curved into a smile and he kissed Bianca on the cheek. "We're an old couple now. Why are you
still so self- conscious?"
Bianca came back to her senses. Her little face blushed even more. "Do you think everyone's as shameless as you..."
The man's domineering and wet lips sucked on hers. It was tingly and ticklish, and she could not help but get lost in it.
Bianca was overwhelmed by his kissing skills that her cheeks got even redder.
Luke finally released her when she was almost breathless from his kiss. He gently touched her round belly. "Tell me, which
month do you think will be suitable for our wedding?" "Let's wait until the baby is born. I can't wear a wedding dress with such a
big belly. A woman gets married only once in her life. I want to look beautiful on my wedding day." Speaking of the wedding,
Bianca's face was full of longing.
Luke listened to her. "Okay, it's all up to you. But we'll pick a date in a few days and get our marriage license first. Then, you'll be
the official Mrs. Crawford, and our baby will be born legitimately."
Bianca smiled and was about to agree, but the thought of Allison's strong opposition saddened her. "Will your mother disapprove
of us getting the marriage license? You know that she has always had a strong prejudice against me... She's always talking
about her relationship with my father and emphasizing that she's my mother too."
Luke's eyes narrowed slightly, and his big palm rubbed her head. "Her words have no use. The DNA test results are the most
authoritative. We're not half-siblings, and with clever children like Lanie and Rainie, no one can stop us from being together by
using preposterous reasons that aren't true."
Bianca's eyes suddenly widened as if she thought of something. "I always wondered who my real mother was. My dad married
your mom before, and they lived together for more than half a year. Dad always thought that my birth mother was your mom, but
it's someone else... As far as I can remember, my father only had two wives. One's your mom and the other's Jennifer. I clearly
remember my dad telling me your mom had suddenly disappeared for more than half a year after becoming pregnant with me,
and he couldn't find her no matter what. Your mom suddenly reappeared after giving birth to me and handed me over to Dad.
Then, she disappeared without a trace..."
Shakira, who had already left the private room, suddenly remembered that the restaurant had a new special dish. She went into
the kitchen and came back with another fragrant dish, planning on letting Luke and Bianca have a try.
However, she did not expect to hear such a thing just as she was about to knock on the door, and the plate fell from her hands...
