Chapter 194 Bring Bianca Back For Me!
After the explanation, the colleague went downstairs.
On the second floor, Bianca opened the door with the key. It was a room of about three hundred square
feet.
The floor was covered in light-colored wooden tiles. In the apartment were a single bed and a simple
closet.
Before she managed to unpack her luggage, another colleague from another department appeared at
the door.
It was a young male colleague in his late twenties. He stood outside of the apartment without going in.
"You're Bianca Rayne from the design department, right? Nice to meet you. I'm Joe Carlson."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Bianca Rayne." She greeted the colleague.
Joe pointed downstairs and said courteously, "Everyone hasn't had lunch yet. We went to the
restaurants in town, and the conditions were... less than ideal. Some of the girls who are used to living
in the big city could not accept it. I heard from my department lead that you grew up here, so I thought
I'd ask if you could bring everyone around to familiarize themselves with the place. We can also get
some ingredients and make lunch ourselves."
Bianca understood what he was saying. She placed her trunk down and nodded. "No problem. I'll go
down now."
"There's no rush. You should settle down first." Joe nodded and went downstairs.
She looked at the watch and saw that it was almost two o'clock.
'Oh no, I'll have to rush!

She opened her trunk, took out her power bank, and plugged it into her phone. She did not have time
to unpack everything else. Instead, she took the key and her purse, then followed Joe downstairs.
Several messages came in.
The first few were missed call notifications from Luke. Then, it was a text message.
The message read, [Call me back when you turn on your phone.]
She was out with her colleagues, and it was inconvenient to call him, so she replied to his message.
[Well talk later. I'm going to get food ingredients with my colleagues.] 1
As she chatted with her colleagues, she received another message.
[Don't let me find out that you're cooking for other men!]
That was Luke's reply.
A City.
After Allison left the hospital, she went to her elder brother's house.
Daniel was surprised to see his sister suddenly showing up. "What happened? You look like you're in a
rush."
Allison glanced at Lacey, her sister-in-law who was walking down the stairs, then at her brother, "What
else could it be if not for something among the young ones? Bianca might be your daughter-in-law, but
she has a... relationship with my son."
Daniel and Lacey could hear the implications in Allison's words. Their expressions became unpleasant.
No parent would want to hear their daughter-in-law having an affair with another man, even though it
might be the truth.
Allison knew very well that her brother and sister-in-law did not desire to hear that, but she had to say
it!
"Last year, the company received the full development rights to a town next to A City, and development
had just started. Your daughter-in-law is part of the company's design department, and she went to the
town too." Allison smirked. "If not that I stopped my son with all my might, he might be there now too!"
Daniel lifted his head. "What?"
Lacey was not fond of Allison, and so she was thinking from a different angle. "Bianca is my daughter-
in-law. He should know that! Yet he still..." She said angrily.
"Sister-in-law, you should understand it's not my son who wants to go along with her!" Allison
interjected. "It's your daughter-in-law that's been throwing hints to my son. Would you expect a young
man in his prime to reject a seductress's advances?"
They were about to argue when Xavier woke up after a long sleep.
"What are you bickering about? Who's the seductress?"
Allison, sitting on the sofa, looked at her nephew who was walking down the stairs. "Who else, if not for
your wife? No other woman would have that much charm!" She said gently.
The caretaker poured a glass of water for Xavier.
Xavier took the glass, downed a big gulp to quench his thirst, and handed the glass back to the
caretaker. "You're also a woman, Aunt Allison. Why are you labeling every charming woman as a
seductress?"
Allison was aggrieved. "I'm not wrong in calling her a seductress! She's born in a poor family, her father
and grandfather are chronically sick, and she manages to survive by flirting with other men. If that’s not
a seductress, what is?"
"By your logic, you've seduced my wealthy uncle-in-law who had died. Shouldn't you be a bigger
seductress then? I think you've done much worse than what Bianca is doing to Luke and me." It was
the first time that Xavier had talked back to his aunt.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAllison's expression darkened at that instant!
However, Xavier was smiling as he spoke. She could not tell if he was joking!
Daniel was not experienced in dealing with private household matters, especially those that concerned
his son. He did not wish to meddle, and there were words that a father-in-law ought not to speak.
He turned to look at his wife.
Lacey understood what Daniel meant and turned to look at her son. "You should keep a close eye on
your wife, Xavier. The two of you have a legal marriage certificate, and we've already announced your
marriage to all the relatives. Your father and I had indeed hoped that the two of you would divorce and
sever all ties, but now we tolerate her because of the baby in her womb!"
"Wait, do you mean that Bianca... is pregnant?" Allison had never heard about that before. She had her
doubts.
Lacey turned to look at her sister-in-law and nodded. "That's right, she's pregnant. That was why your
brother and I accepted her. We don't mind an heir to the Tanner family."
Allison tried to process the information. She did not know if it was good news or bad news.
Lacey spoke to her son, "Bianca is your wife. If you're not concerned about her, it's also not our
position to be concerned about her. You know that she's not close to us, and she doesn't even come
home. I wouldn't care as much if not that she's bearing a child. What is she doing in that small town?
Does she intend to abort it in an accident?"
Daniel was getting old. He was worried that his son might get himself in trouble again. He would be
satisfied if he could have a grandson.
He was immediately furious when he heard that his daughter-in-law was out working in a small town
while pregnant. He slapped his thigh and pointed at Xavier, "Go now and get her back! I don't care
where she goes after she gives birth, but I wont agree to what she's doing now!"
