Chapter 228 Isn't the Bed Big Enough For You?
An eye-catching puddle of blackness could be seen in the middle of the study floor that was covered by lightly-colored tiles. It was obvious to the naked eye that the lingerie was designed to tease and excite.
Bianca, still blushing, picked up the lingerie in her hands and hastily left Luke's study.
She went into the bathroom, closed the door, and looked at the things she was holding in her hands.
All the pieces did not use much cloth. She could hold everything in one hand...
That was too embarrassing!
She took out her phone and messaged Wanda.
The lingerie was exactly the same designs as those her aunt picked out for her in the store!
How did that end up in Luke's hands?
Soon, Wanda sent a reply. [That's right, I paid for the lingerie and had it delivered to you. What else could I do? You didn't want it when I gave it to you at the store...] [I really don't need the lingerie, Aunt Wanda. Can you return it?]
Bianca did not know how to explain her grievances.
Everyone desired different things. Bianca had no desires in that aspect of her life.
For her, comfort was the most important when choosing underwear.
Obviously, none of the three sets of lingerie looked comfortable. In fact, she would feel extremely awkward wearing them.
[You can’t return lingerie, especially after you've tried them on in the fitting room. It took the sales clerk a lot of effort to sell it, and you want to return it? Can you bear to deprive her of her sales commission?]
Bianca dashed the idea of returning the lingerie, as though by doing so, she would become an irredeemable villain.
Bianca started typing a reply to her aunt.
Before she could hit send, Wanda sent a voice message.
Bianca brought the phone close to her ear, in case Luke and the children might be listening outside. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"I've asked you, and you said that you have a boyfriend. Trust me, no matter how close the two of you might be, your relationship will eventually grow stale. You need to whet his appetite sometimes so that he can excite you as well. It's beneficial for the two of you, so why not try something new?
Wanda sounded deadpan as she said that, as though she was a teacher disciplining her student.
However, Bianca was blushing intensely when she heard that.
Her questioning of her aunt had turned into a lesson from her aunt to her.
Lanie knocked on the bathroom door.
Bianca came to her senses and quickly opened the door. She saw the little boy squeezing his legs together and clutching his pants. "Miss Bea! I need to wee!" "Come in quick." Bianca pulled him in and closed the door for him.
The delivery bag and packaging were torn and had to be thrown away.
After a trip to the trash can, Bianca was still holding onto the lingerie. She could not bear to throw away the expensive items of clothing.
Eventually, she stashed the lingerie into her handbag. She would figure out what to do with them later.
"Are you sleepy yet, Rainie?" Bianca carried her daughter in her arms and asked softly. She kissed Rainie’s soft cheek and asked, "Shall we take a bath then go to bed?"
Rainie nodded groggily.
Her arms were hugging Bianca's fair neck.
Bianca brought the slightly heavy Rainie into the bathroom. The little girl was drowsy all the way there; with Bianca carrying her, she did not have to worry about anything.
"Who was the one who gave you baths before this?" Bianca wanted to know about Rainie's life before she arrived.
The little girl slumped across her shoulder and mumbled, "The two grannies take turns to bathe me. One of the grannies slipped and fell, and the other granny bathed me after that. I didn’t want them to fall again, and so I bathed myself."
The "granny" that Rainie mentioned was obviously not Allison but the two caretakers in Crawford Manor.
"Has your Daddy ever given you a bath?" Bianca felt sorry for the little girl. No matter how much she would try to make up for the five years of Lanie and Rainie lacking a mother’s love, she would not be able to make up for everything.
After all, no one could return to the past.
Rainie pouted when Bianca mentioned Luke. Her eyelashes fluttered, but she did not open her eyes because she was sleepy. "Daddy only bathed me once. I was naughty and splashed water on his shirt, and he threw a tantrum at me. I didn't dare to let Daddy bathe me after that."
Bianca felt a complicated mix of feelings.
Tm sorry. I’ll be a good Mommy to the two of you. Daddy won't have to scold you anymore.' That thought repeated in her mind.
'If the DNA test proves that I am your mother...’
After tucking Lanie and Rainie into their beds, Bianca packed up the children's homework and backpacks. It was half-past nine.
She did not disturb the man who was busy working in the study. Instead, she took her things, gently opened the door, and left the apartment.
She glanced at the time when she stepped outside. Fortunately, she could make it in time to take the subway back to her rental house.
It took her forty minutes to reach home.
The rental house had been unoccupied for several days.
She switched on the kitchen lights, put a kettle on the stove so that she had drinking water, then rolled up her sleeves and started to clean up.
She would not be able to sleep well if she did not clean up. Without anyone living in the house, she felt as though a thin layer of dust coated on everything.
When she was almost done cleaning up, the doorbell rang.
Bianca was replacing the bedsheets. She put down the bedsheets and looked toward the door, feeling a little uneasy because someone rang her doorbell at night.
She checked her phone and found that she had received no notifications. If the person at the door was someone familiar, they would have informed her that they were coming.
The doorbell rang again.
She walked to the door uneasily and looked through the peephole. When she saw that the man standing outside was not Xavier or any other unfamiliar face, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
She opened the door and asked, "Why are you here?"
Luke stood outside the door and looked at her from head to toe. He did not say anything but instead strode into the house.
Bianca did not understand why he was there. She closed the door. 1
She wanted to pour a glass of hot water for the man when he suddenly said, "Why did you come back when you're already there?"
It took Bianca some time before she understood what he meant.
"I saw that you don't have enough beds there, so..."
Luke’s mood brightened when he heard that. "Isn't the bed big enough for the two of us?"
Bianca knew what he was trying to say. "I'll get some water for you." She shifted the topic.
Luke silently walked over and pulled her into his arms. He leaned down and breathed on her blushing face. "Did you lure me here because you think that the small bed in this rental house is more comfortable?"
