Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 37 Not Used To The Way He Pampered Her

Blanche opened his mouth to say something, but then he looked around to give his tall father behind him a cautious look. After that, he turned back around and shook his head at Bianca. "No, we're taking you to the department store."

'The department store? Why?"

As soon as she said that, Bianca immediately remembered that there was no more mineral water in the fridge. The kid was probably worried that she did not have any water to drink when she felt thirsty.

"We don't need to go to the store. I’ll boil myself some water later."

What she really needed now was for the two of them to leave, ASAP.

However, the boy shook his head adamantly. "Nuh-uh, I'm worried you won’t have anything to eat or drink..."

Helpless, Bianca looked at Luke, signaling at him to help her. As his parent, she hoped that he would take the boy away.

Instead, Luke patted his son's head and said to her mildly, "Lanie is so worried that he might even insist on staying here with you tonight." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Bianca,

There was nothing she could say.

To tell the truth, if her fate really had to be tied to a Crawford, she sincerely hoped she could meet Blanche Crawford every once in a while, so she could experience the warmth of having a child by her

side.

That could help her deal with some of her heartache and remorse for the child she had lost.

Even if it was only an illusion of motherhood, she still wanted to savor it now and then.

As for Luke Crawford, Bianca prayed that she would never meet him again.

Even at work, it would be best if they went their completely separate ways and never encountered each other.

She had only known that rich and powerful man for less than half a month, but she had already been targeted by Charlotte Shaw, that heiress who was born into authority and never understood the concept of committing a crime.

Bianca did not even dare to imagine what worse encounters she might have if she continued to be involved with Luke Crawford.

Wearing the off-white dress she had come in, Bianca picked up her wallet and left the hospital with the father-and-son duo.

Luke walked in front of her.

Bianca instinctively kept her distance from him. She was a sparrow and he was an imperial dragon, so they did not match at all when they stood together. She did not want to embarrass herself.

The store was right outside the hospital, less than a hundred meters away.

As such, Luke did not bother driving.

As they walked down the street, Bianca was sensitive enough to notice that she attracted the occasional gaze. After passersby looked at her, they would look at the man in front of her. He looked like he had walked out of a finance magazine. 1

At the entrance to the store.

Bianca took a shopping cart to the door.

The entire way here, Luke would glance back at Bianca after every few steps. He was worried about her.

At the same time, she clearly did not want to walk next to him.

When he looked back this time, he saw that she was pushing a huge shopping cart.

That was when he suddenly remembered that shopping did require a cart. Although he had never done anything like this before, he just had to look around coolly to see how the other man did it.

Luke walked up to her and told her in a voice that brooked no argument." I’ll do it.”

"It's okay, I can do it." Bianca did not dare to leave it to him.

"Can't you see that the other men are doing it?" Luke looked at her deeply. As she was still stunned, his large hand caressed the back of her head while he pulled the cart in front of him with his other hand.

Bianca looked around her and instantly felt awkward to the point of speechlessness.

Yes, the other men were the ones pushing the carts, but those men were usually the husbands. It was perfectly natural for husbands to push the carts for their wives. 1

However, she was nothing more than Luke's lowly employee.

It was fine for an employee to push the cart for her employer, but when an employer did it for his employee...

Whatever. He could do whatever he liked.

Bianca frowned slightly, looking at the man's tall and upright back in front of her. All she could do was pick up his son's hand and follow behind him.

T Corporation had countless employees from all over this busy city. Bianca walked around timidly, worried that she would bump into one of them.

There was no way she would be able to explain herself if that happened...

There were plenty of shoppers inside when they walked into the store.

Luke pushed the cart inside and took two steps before looking back at Bianca and Blanche. It really was quite crowded, and every so often someone would bump into Bianca.

"Walk in front of me, you two," the man commanded with a frown.

The boy dragged Bianca up front.

With this, Luke was finally satisfied.

They came up to the mineral water aisle. Bianca wanted to get some water, but Luke got there before she could and put a carton into the cart. He had large hands, so he could take plenty of things.

They sold chocolates up ahead too. Instinctively, Bianca glanced at them before pulling her gaze back.

Just then, the boy was looking at the aisle in front of him, mesmerized. He mumbled under his breath, "Dad, they have chips here. Can I get some? I'll only have them once this month." 1

There were chips on one side and chocolate on the other.

Bianca did not plan on buying the chocolate, but Luke noticed that her gaze had lingered on the chocolate shelf for at least five seconds.

"Let’s buy chocolate for Miss Bea first, okay? She’s sick, so you should let her have what she wants," Luke said, rubbing his son's head.

"Alright!" The kid thought that made a lot of sense.

Bianca suddenly did not know how to react. She was not used to the way he pampered her...

Three young girls walked past them, and one of them exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Whoa!" Then she lowered her voice and said stealthily, "Do you think I'll meet a man like that in my lifetime? A man who spoils his woman like she's his daughter?! He's so handsome that I can barely keep my legs together!!" 1

Although it was almost a whisper, Bianca still heard it.

Her face burned up.

There was a variety of chocolates in the cart when Luke brought it back.

Bianca refused them.

To no avail, of course.

She knew it was a bad idea to get into a scuffle with him in the store.

Still, Luke was going way too far.

Finally, it was Blanche who blinked his large eyes and pointed his fingers together, sounding hurt as he muttered quietly, "Why is it that Miss Bea gets so much chocolate while I only get one bag of chips?"

Luke ignored his son, wheeling the cart away. 1

Bianca was feeling so embarrassed that she could not even raise her head anymore.

She held the boy's hand as they followed behind him. The next time Bianca looked up, she saw Luke standing at the underwear section. Most importantly, it was the ladies' underwear section... 3

Bianca walked to him, her head still lowered. She wanted to tell him they could leave now since they had everything, but the man suddenly pulled her hand and took her to the shelves. Standing behind her, he said with his voice wafting over her head, "I happened to walk past here and figured you needed some."

Bianca,"..."

Her face flushed again.

This was awkward. So in the end, he had seen the underwear she had soiled due to the aphrodisiac and left in the washroom after all...

"It's alright, my friend brought me some new ones." With that, Bianca kept her head low as she took the boy to the store entrance.

... 2

Twenty minutes later.

The two adults and one child walked down the nighttime streets.

The streetlights along the dark roads seemed to stretch Luke's figure out infinitely before her eyes. Bianca followed behind him, feeling so ashamed that her body truly felt like it was sapped of all strength now.

As a result, her body became much frailer too.

"Ah-choo!"

The moment the cold night air blew past her, Bianca sneezed.

Then she sneezed again, and again.

Blanche hurriedly pulled some tissues out of his backpack and handed them to Miss Bea.

When Luke heard her, he walked to her too. Putting down the bags of groceries he was holding, he met her gaze and suddenly took off his coat.

"No need..."

Bianca had not managed to say "I’m fine” before Luke held her slender waist with one hand. As she trembled in fear, he walked behind her and tenderly put the coat over her shoulders from behind.

'Thank you." Bianca instantly felt much warmer.

His residual warmth lingered on the coat. 2

Luke did not say a thing, picking up the bags and walked back toward the hospital.

Bianca took Lanie's hand and breathed in the nice smell emanating from the coat. Her gaze was both timid and grateful as she stared at Luke's broad and well-toned back despite herself.

All of a sudden, she really despised herself. It was all because right then and there, as she walked behind him, she suddenly felt an unfamiliar sense of security that left her wanting more...
