Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle
Chapter 135 Quiet And Filled With Tension

Bianca's cheeks were flushed.

The atmosphere in the car became quiet and filled with tension.

She was huddled up in the passenger seat of his car. For some reason, when he was around, Bianca felt much more at ease.

After thinking about it for a long time, Bianca attributed the source of the sense of security to their blood relationship.

Staying by her brother's side allowed her to feel grounded. That logic did not sound wrong because that was normal among siblings.

Gradually, Bianca fell asleep.

She was relieved that she finally found a place where she should be. From a psychological point of view, she regarded him as her brother. That way, when the two of them were alone, it would not be weird morally.

Luke drove to a toll booth. When he passed the toll booth, he turned his head and glanced at the woman next to him who was huddled up in the passenger seat. In the past few days, she was not able to eat well, sleep well, and even fainted. Finally, she could take a rest.

The black Range Rover drove steadily on the road. Luke looked at the passenger seat from time to time and was relieved to see that she was not awake and still sleeping soundly.

When he arrived at the small town, it was inevitable that the roads in the small town had potholes. When Bianca woke up, her body was sore and uncomfortable. She looked around and realized where she was.

She grabbed his suit jacket with her fingers and looked at the man in the driver's seat. She said, "Sorry, I fell asleep.”

Luke concentrated on his driving. He made a turn and drove toward her house. He asked casually, "Why are you saying sorry for falling asleep?”

Bianca opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

He drove to the small town in the middle of the night to help her find her grandfather. Since he had to drive for a long time, the driver would feel lonely and bored. It would be better if there was someone to talk to.

However, she accidentally fell asleep.

The drive here must have been monotonous.

A City.

Xavier stayed out to party until after midnight before returning home.

Daniel, who had fallen asleep earlier on, was suddenly awakened when he heard the sound of a car driving into the manor.

After being awakened, he pushed his wife who was sleeping beside him. "Wake up. Hey, wake up.” Luke's aunt woke up and looked at her husband in a daze.

"Did our son just come back? That darn kid! Does he know what time it is?!" Mr. Tanner was angry with nowhere to vent. Since his son was an adult, he could not discipline him.

Mrs. Tanner got up and checked the time. It was indeed very late.

Before their son went to jail, he always stayed up late outside partying and would only come back at dawn. Constant partying finally got him into trouble and landed him in jail.

"I'll go downstairs and have a look. You stay here.” Mrs. Tanner was worried that if Mr. Tanner went down, he would start a fight with his son. She said that as she put on her night robe and slippers. Then, she walked out of the bedroom.

Mr. Tanner sighed and leaned on the bed frame. He could not sleep because of his son and slammed his fist on the old-fashioned pillow.

After Mrs. Tanner went downstairs, she was just in time to see her son coming back from outside. When he entered the door, Xavier looked up and saw his mother who looked upset.

"What's the matter? Can't sleep? Aren't you supposed to get more beauty sleep the older you get?” Xavier said sweetly as he prepared to walk upstairs.

Mrs. Tanner was not affected by her son's words. She said, "Stop right there.”

Xavier stopped and looked back at his mother.

The pair of mother and son looked at each other. There were tears hidden in Mrs. Tanner's eyes, and every wrong she had ever felt started flooding out. “Are you trying to kill us from anger by coming back in the middle of the night? No wonder Luke looks down on his own cousin. He couldn't even give his blessings for you to date his secretary! Tell me, apart from your physical appearance, which part of you is actually human? Which part of you is something worth respecting?!”

Since he was young, Xavier had always been the most handsome boy around. Even Mrs. Tanner was very proud of it.

Who would have thought that his good looks ended up attracting countless women to die and live for him, making him an unserious playboy?

If Mrs. Tanner could choose, she would have rather her son be born ugly!

Luke was Allison's son and Allison was Daniel's sister. Even though Mrs. Tanner knew Allison since they were young, they never had a good relationship.

Mrs. Tanner never liked her sister-in-law, Allison. She always thought that Allison looked down on the poor and sucked up the rich. No matter what, she would do anything to climb the ladder to fame.

Even at the age she was then, she was still the same.

Since Mrs. Tanner did not like Allison, naturally, she would not like Luke either.

If she asked herself truthfully, Mrs. Tanner knew that she was just jealous of Allison. She was jealous of Allison's self-disciplined and excellent son.

Most importantly, Luke gave Allison a pair of twins as grandchildren earlier on.

"I'll live my life the way I want and he can live his. Why should I want his respect?" Xavier had not drunk that night. He was sober and furrowed his brows as he looked at his mother.

"Did you really just ask why you would want his respect?!" Mrs. Tanner cried out from anger. She pointed to the living room that was full of guests the night before and said, "Everyone who was here makes up the circle of rich people in A City. Everyone knows each other. Take this afternoon for example. Allison didn't attend our gathering because of a stupid little fashion event in her entertainment circle. Do you know how many people are laughing behind our backs because of that?”

Mrs. Tanner did not dare to tell her husband about those feelings of hers for fear that he would call her argumentative.

What could she do? The only thing she could do was swallow her anger and tell her son in the hopes that her son would be able to rise up!

Xavier saw the wrinkles in the corners of his mother's eyes and saw through his mother’s bitterness. He was silent for a moment before saying, "Go back to sleep. I don't care who gives me blessings for my marriage. No matter what, I'll marry Bea for you.”

After Xavier said that, he turned and walked upstairs.

As Mrs. Tanner looked at her son's departing back, she finally breathed a sigh of satisfied relief.

In the small town.

Luke got out of the car and moved the iron lock on the gate with his big hand. There were no signs of it being opened before.

The walls that surrounded the front yard were high, and there were no ladders around.

There were no lights in the front yard either.

"Grandpa didn't come back," Luke turned around, lowered his head, and said to Bianca.

Bianca stood there and was very quiet. The quieter she was, the more distressed he felt. He walked over and hugged her into his arms as he lowered his head to kiss her on her forehead.

"Don’t worry, let's wait to see if the police have any new news.” He calmly soothed.

Little by little, the sounds of her frightened inhalation echoed in the quiet night. Luke suddenly lifted her face, and as expected, he could clearly see tears streaming from her eyes.

"Don't cry." Luke did not know how to comfort someone, especially girls. The only thing he could do was hug her tightly and press her head on his chest. He used his big warm hands to stroke her cheeks and head. With her tiny shoulders wrapped in his arms, he wished that he could just wrap her up completely into his body.

Bianca was afraid that something bad might have happened to Grandpa.
