Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 267 Luke Loses His Temper

The night sky was as dark as ink, and all was silent.

The two children had gone to bed a long time ago. Bianca remained in front of the computer, creating designs.

Bianca was not in the mood to work, but she had no choice.

Once she stopped working, all sorts of questions and doubts would fill her brain.

The clock struck eleven. Bianca stared at the computer screen for a long time.

The man had not given her a call.

She went to the bathroom and took a shower, trying to keep herself awake. Dressed in a nightgown, she sat in the living room and tried calling Luke's number again.

Bianca was afraid to hear the dreaded automated voice again. The phone rang for almost a minute, but no one picked up. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Just when she was about to hang up, someone answered the call.

"Hello?" It was the voice of a woman.

All of a sudden, Bianca's eyes misted, and she felt her heart wrench. She tried to keep her voice calm and steady and asked, "I'm looking for Luke Crawford. Is he there?" "Oh? Luke is in the bathroom now. Who is this? I'll tell him to call you back when he's done," the woman's voice replied.

Bianca was stunned for a long time and ended the call.

Then, she turned off her phone as though she was trying to hide from something.

She pulled her nightgown. The heater in the room was on, but she felt cold.

The moonlight shining through the windows gave a forlorn atmosphere.

Bianca's heart was trembling. She felt extremely uneasy.

What was the woman doing in the man's room so late at night? Did that mean...

The man had said to her, "My phone will always be turned on for you. You will always be able to contact me."

That promise had felt so comforting.

However, it had become a cruel joke.

Bianca's heart was wrenching miserably.

In the hotel suite.

Mavis looked at the screen after the call was abruptly cut. The name on the screen was "Bianca."

The corners of her lips curled upward into a cruel smirk.

She deleted the call record and gently placed the phone on the table.

The position and angle of the phone were exactly the same as how it was before she picked it up.

She had always been a meticulous worker. She would not leave any evidence of tampering.

She had just placed the phone down when Luke stepped out of the bathroom.

He was dressed in a loose bathrobe. On his knockout gorgeous face was a pair of profound eyes whose gaze was as frigid as a glacier. They might seem gentle, but there was no hint of mercy in them.

His thin lips were redder than a woman's. They looked seductive, but at the same time, uncaring.

That man who was more beautiful and elegant than a woman had singlehandedly brought T Corporation to its current position with his shrewd perception and merciless tactics.

Only a man like Luke could be a match with Mavis.

Luke's expression turned cold when he saw Mavis present in his room. "It's already so late. Is there anything?"

Mavis lifted her head and revealed her snow-white neck.

She was dressed in a sheer nightgown. All the curves of her figure were bared in plain sight.

She believed that if she flaunted her charms, no man would be able to resist her.

The corners of her lips curled slightly upward, flashing a smile at Luke. It carried the maturity of a grown woman and the bewitching glamor of a pixie.

She pointed at the piping hot supper on the table and said, "You've been busy the entire day, Mr. Crawford, and you haven't eaten anything. I got the kitchen to make some supper for you. Eat something. If not for me, you ought to make sure you're healthy for the benefit of T Corporation."

Luke remained indifferent. "There's no need. I'm not hungry. You've also worked hard today, Ms. Laviere. You should go back and rest."

He picked up the phone on the table.

Mavis's long eyelashes obscured her true feelings.

Luke did not seem to notice anything wrong with his phone. He gave Bianca a phone call.

He dialed her number several times, but her phone was turned off!

Luke's expression sank instantly!

He had been busy the entire day handling the company's PR crisis, and he had to negotiate several purchase orders...

He was so busy that he did not have the time to eat or rest. Of course, he did not have time to give Bianca a call either.

He wanted to wait until late at night when it was peaceful so that he could speak to her privately.

He did not expect that she had turned off her phone.

Luke understood Bianca well. If she did not receive his call, she would not be able to rest well.

That left Luke in a bad mood. He picked up the glass to take a sip of water but found that the glass was empty. In a fit of rage, he flung the glass toward the wall!

The glass shattered loudly into a million pieces when it struck the wall.

Mavis was shocked by Luke's sudden outburst.

As far as she knew, Luke had always been calm and collected. She had never seen him throw a tantrum. Was it because of that woman?

What she thought of that possibility, Mavis could not help but feel jealous.

That Bianca woman was so normal that she was almost forgettable. What made her so special that the man she loved would throw a tantrum over her?

Mavis took another glass and poured a glass of warm water for him. "Are you OK?" She asked gently.

Luke was frowning hard. His eyes flashed with hostility as he tried his best to suppress his emotions. "It's already late, Ms. Laviere. You should return to your room and rest."

Mavis could sense that he was unhappy. The smile on her face froze for a moment, though she said tactfully, "You shouldn't be angry so late at night. Is there something that you can't solve?"

She briefly cleaned up the broken glass on the floor. Just when she was about to say something nice to Luke, she heard something that she did not wish to hear. "Get out!" "What?" Mavis was shocked. She could not believe what she had heard.

Luke looked at Mavis, who was crouching at the corner of the room picking up glass shards like an idiot. "Don't let me repeat myself, Ms. Laviere!" He said impatiently.

Mavis noticed that he had not touched the supper that she had brought him. She thought that she was being considerate for bringing him supper and helping him clean up, but he had chased her away instead.

Mavis's usually expressionless eyes misted up.

The Laviere family was not ultra-rich, but they wielded a considerable amount of wealth and influence.

Moreover, she was the beloved daughter of the Laviere family, who had never faced any hardship in her life. She had tried to improve her abilities just so that she could be by his side.

Now that she had been treated this way, she could not help but feel aggrieved and dejected...

"Alright. You should rest early too. If you're hungry, eat the food I brought you. It's not oily or spicy, so you can safely eat it. Good night."

Mavis was an intelligent woman. She knew how to make a graceful exit.

She knew that Luke did not like women who pestered him. Perhaps she had overstepped her boundaries tonight.

She opened the door gently and left the room.

Luke dialed Bianca's phone again, but he got the automated message that her phone had been turned off. His expression turned colder and colder...
