Chapter 127 Made Luke Very Curious
Blanche no longer wanted to talk to Daddy. He took a towel to dry Rainie's fingers when she was by the
pool, playing happily.
"Why did you get your hair wet? You’re a girl." Blanche sighed. Apart from her strict dad, there was her
older brother who was slightly older than her. i
He crouched in front of the pool, drying his sister’s hair and face while he solemnly wondered how
much easier life would be with a mommy.
Since he was a baby, he always hoped that his mommy would come back to look for Rainie and him.
He thought that even if Mommy did not get back together with Daddy, at least she would visit them on
the weekends to see Rainie and him because that would be enough.
However, it was different now. Blanche no longer hoped that Mommy would come back to look for
them. He just wished that Daddy could marry Aunt Bea and make her their mommy instead.
That way, Rainie could also have a beautiful childhood like other girls.
"Is that... Yvonne?" someone asked and pointed at the manor's gate.
Blanche looked over and saw a pink sports car entering the manor.
A gaudy-looking middle-aged woman smiled and said to the people beside her, "It's our Yvonne. It’s
been less than a week since she returned from studying abroad. She didn’t even have time to rest
before she started working. This kid got a job younger than I did."
After Mrs. Gideon finished speaking, she stepped forward to greet her daughter who got out of the car.
Yvonne parked the car and glanced at the people in the manor while she walked over with a smile.
When her mother walked toward her, she lowered her voice and said, "Are you crazy? Why are you
wearing the flashiest designer clothes and a gold chain?! Anyone who sees you will think that you're a
nouveau riche. What's the point of me showing you all of those fashion magazines to learn how to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdress up?!"
Mrs. Gideon was embarrassed. ”1 did learn how to dress up. Why would you say that I didn't?"
"Whatever, shut it. I knew you'd embarrass me," Yvonne gritted her teeth and told her mother. She
changed the look on her face and walked toward her aunt. She smiled and hugged her. She said softly,
"Aunty, you're getting younger by the year. I can hardly recognize you."
"You really know what to say to a woman to make her happy." Her aunt smiled so widely that her smile
lines showed. "I heard from your mother that you've started work?"
"Yeah, I have." Yvonne looked around before saying shyly, "At T Corporation."
Even though Luke sat there in a low-key manner and was only looking at his twin babies calmly from
the start, it was still enough to attract people's attention.
Many rich girls had been staring at him from the start, eager to get closer to him but also too nervous to
make a move.
Yvonne's aunt saw Yvonne gazing at Luke. She put two and two together when she realized Yvonne
started working in T Corporation right after returning to the country.
"Von, you're so lucky. T Corporation's very famous. I'll be waiting for the invitation to your wedding."
The woman patted Yvonne on the shoulder.
Yvonne nodded sweetly which meant that her aunt's guess was right.
The rich and powerful never bothered hiding their gossip. Yvonne's crush on the big boss Mr. Crawford
was widely known for quite some time.
By the time dinner began, the gossip of Luke and Yvonne being a thing became more exaggerated as it
spread. "Luke Crawford will do whatever it takes to marry Yvonne Gideon."
When another rich lady heard about the rumor, she said in surprise," Yvonne? She’s not even that
pretty compared to my daughter!"
"Even though your daughter's beautiful, between a 27-year-old and a 19-year -old, who do you think
the man would choose?" The person who told her the rumor asked before tutting.
When the 27-year-old heard that, she was speechless. She snorted while holding her wine glass.
"Yeah? Just because that Yvonne chick is young, she can marry into the Crawford family? I’d like to
see her try."
In the distance, the main character of the rumors, Yvonne Gideon, was trying her best to win over
Blanche and Rainie.
Jason rushed over ten minutes ago because he was worried that his boss had to drink out of courtesy
and social reasons. If he did, Jason would have to take care of the two kids.
If Luke was worried about it, Jason, as his assistant, should be even more worried about it.
People who tried to get close to Luke usually had some agendas businesswise, so if they tried to get
close to Luke when he was with his two kids, it would mean they had a bigger agenda.
For example, Miss Yvonne, who was playing with his boss' two kids.
Jason did not interrupt and just stared at them by the side.
Blanche had a game console in his hand and was concentrating on playing the game while Rainie was
looking intently at his gameplay.
Yvonne could not butt in because she had no idea how that game worked.
After being awkward from trying too hard, she took out her phone, found out a game that she usually
played, and handed it to Blanche. "This game’s very popular. Would you like to try it?"
Blanche glanced over at the game interface.
Jason immediately stopped her. "Ms. Gideon, the game Young Master Blanche is playing is different
from this adult game that you play. The boss won't allow Young Master Blanche to play this sort of
game."
"What's wrong with an adult game? How can games be separated for kids and adults? Isn't it fine if it's
fun?” Yvonne's face suddenly darkened as she rudely said to Jason, "You’re not my dad, so why are
you telling me what to do?”
Jason finally understood that although Ms. Gideon was in the circle of A- listers, she was most likely
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe odd one in the group because for her to act that way publicly, it was very unrefined and
embarrassing.
Jason did not want to waste his time in front of people like her, so he told the two children, "Come, let's
go in.”
Blanche was wearing a black baseball cap with headphones covering one of his ears while holding his
game console in his left hand. He held his sister's hand with his right hand and tried to run away from
Yvonne who was like the wicked witch of the west.
The people around them saw what happened.
Yvonne initially wanted to prove to those people that she was going to get married into the Crawford
family and that it was only a matter of time before Luke approved of it since Aunt Allison had already
approved her.
Yvonne herself knew that she could not go over and grab Luke's arm abruptly or greet Luke bluntly
because everyone would be able to tell that Luke was not into her at all.
Therefore, the only thing left for her to do was to start with the two children.
She wanted to let everyone see that her relationship with Luke's two children was good and that it
would not be long before she got married into the Crawford family.
However, it was now all gone.
The Tanner family dinner.
All the well-known people were seated. Luke was offered to toast a few drinks and started to get a little
tipsy. At that moment, it had been three hours since Xavier carried his girlfriend upstairs.
The doctor had already left earlier on.
Xavier's girlfriend should be fine. Otherwise, the doctor would not have left. Moreover, Xavier and his
parents would not be downstairs entertaining the guests.
However, both Luke's uncle and aunt kept taking glances at him. There was obviously something they
knew that he did not. That made Luke very curious about who Xavier’s girlfriend was.
