Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 217

Bianca put the keys away, changed into slippers, tiptoed into the bedroom, and found two blankets.

She draped one over Lanie's body and the other over Rainie, who was sleeping soundly on Daddy's tummy…

Bianca was about to walk away when the man on the couch suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes.

His eyes looked tired under the angular brow ridge. Blood vessels could be seen at the corners of his eyes.

On other days, she would tell her not to work so hard and rest more, out of concern as his employee or as the father of her children.

However, Bianca was speechless.

Every word that Jason said over the phone lingered in Bianca's mind.

"Boss received a dinner invitation after he got back yesterday. He left the two children in the apartment, and no one was around to take care of them…

"Boss drank a little too much last night, and we haven't managed to contact him at the hotel…"

Luke was wholly unqualified as a single parent.

After Luke woke up, Rainie also woke up. After Rainie woke up, Lanie woke up too.

Lanie rubbed his eyes. When he saw that Rainie was there, he hugged her thigh and said pitifully, "Why are you here, Miss Bea?"

His voice sounded very nasal, perhaps because he had just woken up.

When Bianca heard that, tears welled up in her eyes. She crouched down and touched her son's face. "Where did you bring your sister yesterday? You know that we're all worried about you, right?"

'Yesterday, Daddy, Rainie, and I were napping in the house. In the morning, Daddy went to the grocery store and tried to cook breakfast. Even though Daddy looked gloomy and his fried eggs were inedible, Rainie and I are very happy that he's willing to learn,' Lanie thought.

However, when Daddy came back home, busy from work, he told Lanie and Rainie in a stern tone that they needed to tell a lie if they wanted Miss Bea to be their mother and live with them forever.

They needed to make Daddy the bad guy.

Then, they would wait with Daddy for Miss Bea. She would definitely come.

As they waited, Lanie and Rainie fell asleep.

"I'm sorry, Miss Bea. I won't do it again," Lanie apologized. He sounded repentant, and he buried his face in Bianca's lap.

Bianca hugged the little boy, touched his cheek, and kissed his head. "Please don't do that next time… Tell me, where did you and Rainie go last night? Were you scared? How did you get home?"

The barrage of questions confused Lanie, who was not prepared to answer any of them. He turned and looked at his father with his puppy eyes.

Luke went to the bathroom. While he washed his face, he said with a hoarse voice, "The kid found shelter in a KFC for the night. My phone was off, and there was no one in the manor."

Perhaps the kids had called the manor, but no one picked up. Even if they took a cab there, the door would be locked.

However, both Luke and Jason had the key to the apartment.

"Why didn't you go and look for Daddy or Uncle Doyle?" Bianca asked doubtfully.

Lanie pressed his lips together, worried that Bianca would think that he was stupid…

Luke looked at her and asked her a question she could not answer. "Given your current condition, how are you going to take care of the children?"

"I…" Bianca was at a loss. She looked at Luke with frustration.

She stood there for a long time until Luke walked away and left her on the balcony…

Lanie and Rainie were only five years old. They would not know how to take care of themselves.

Old Master Crawford was elderly, and he was in the hospital. The caretakers in Crawford Manor could not be wholly depended upon as they had other tasks to do.

The only suitable candidate was their grandmother Allison. Allison was not too elderly, and she was capable of taking care of her grandchildren. However, she was not relieved when she was reminded of Allison's antics.

The two young children could only depend on their single father. Bianca remembered what Jason said about last night and felt sorrier than ever.

She went to the bathroom and spoke to the man who was shaving. "I can travel between the small town and A City. The trains are convenient, but I wouldn't be able to fetch them to and from school."

Luke did not stop shaving. Bianca could not tell what Luke was thinking from his reflection in the mirror.

Soon, the smell of aftershave permeated the bathroom. He turned around and looked at Bianca's nervous face. "I agree with whatever your decision might be, but my mother might not."

Bianca nearly forgot how troublesome Allison could be…

Luke seemed to have thought of how to solve that problem. "So, we'll go to do a DNA test in the afternoon."

No one could stop a mother from reuniting with their children…
