Chapter 65
Chapter 65 A Man In Love
Old Master Crawford stood in the courtyard with a cane as he observed from afar.
When his grandson got back with the weird look on his face, the old man knew something was up. The reckless bad boy finally got himself a girlfriend!
Rainie came up from behind her daddy. She stood on her tiptoes and craned her neck to take a look. She said in a baby voice, "Daddy, I didn't know you used WeChat."
Rainie knew that Great-grandpa, Grandma, Grandma Susan, and Uncle Louis had WeChat, all of them except Daddy and she never saw him used it.
Luke sat on the sofa with a frown as he stared at the phone screen intently and anxiously.
He did not get a reply from Bianca.
'Is that a no?'
At that moment, Louis came downstairs. When he heard that Luke had a WeChat, he walked toward them in surprise and glanced from the side, ’ Hey, you don't even have a profile picture."
Luke turned off the screen that showed his chat with Bianca and had a sullen look on his face.
'Why isn't she replying?’
"Talking to a girl?" Louis sat on the other side of the sofa. He looked like a rich boy with his feet up on the table while his eyes were fixed on his coldfaced brother on the other side. "Her profile picture is a popular cartoon avatar girls love to use. Why do you look so grumpy talking to her?"
The old man who listened secretly also frowned.
Louis gave his veteran's analysis and asked, "So, are you chasing her? And is she unwillingly together with you? Wow... What level is this woman to look down on a diamond-tier bachelor like you? Don't tell me, is she playing hard to get? Is she using the fact that you like her to give herself a name?"
He knew that his brother had always been ascetic and cold. Moreover, he never liked women approaching him.
Now that his brother fell in love hard, Louis was afraid that his all-powerful brother was going to be ruined in the hands of a woman.
Louis understood how some women played rich men. Their first goal is to marry into a rich family. If their first goal could not be achieved, they will try their best for the second goal which was to get some money from them.
Every woman was the same to him.
Luke put down his mobile phone that had not received any new messages. He casually said, "Superficial."
"Yes, you can barely find a woman who isn't' superficial nowadays. Luke, look at me. I haven't found anyone recently either. I can't bear it. Every one of them is even more superficial than the next." Louis thought that his brother was going to turn back.
"You’re the one who I'm calling superficial." Luke's pupils were as black as ink.
Louis paused before he could light his cigarette!
It seemed that his brother had been bewitched by a vixen and could not recognize his own family member!
"Give it to me..."
At home, Bianca's phone was taken by Nina.
When Nina noticed how Bianca acted like a baby when she snatched her phone back, she looked down and stared wide-eyed at the new-found information, ' Bea, what's gotten into you?! Is this man really that charming? I can't believe you fell so deep after just meeting him once! Look how red your face is.”
Bianca finally saw the message from Luke.
"From today onward, as long as you nod your head, I will be the man who will be your husband at any given moment."
Love was a beautiful and sweet process.
When a man makes a promise like that, most of the time it is only half-true. It was not something to believe in straight away because it might just be a spontaneous text.
However, Bianca believed that Luke's promise was sincere.
Bianca raised her head and looked at Nina.
She did not want to hide a budding relationship from her best friend, especially one that lived with her.
Sooner or later, it would come up.
Bianca looked at Nina and said nervously, "This man isn't the one I went on a blind date with. The blind date was unsuccessful."
Nina was surprised...
'If that man wasn't the blind date, who is he?'
"My brother was in the wrong but you just broke up with him not too long ago..." Nina threaded carefully, "Did someone chase you during the past few days after your breakup? And... did you like him too?"
Bianca nodded, "Yeah."
Nina said, "Are you sure you don't want to wait and see? Maybe, maybe that guy is a scumbag."
Bianca thought that it sounded messy so she told her everything.
Nina was dumbfounded!
After starting at Bianca with her mouth wide-opened, Nina took a long time before she digested the surprising news!
Nina had a silly smile on her and was completely dumbfounded, "I can't believe it! Cr...Mr. Crawford? Our boss?" 1
Bianca curled up on the sofa and stayed quiet.
"Bea! Tell me! That's our boss! The big boss of T Corporation. You found a gold mine! No, no, no, that sounds too tacky. What am I talking about? A gold mine? You easily found a... Uh, uh, uh, uh. What adjective should I
use? Gah! What is it?!" Nina was going crazy as she looked at Bianca with admiration.
"Quickly give him a reply, our boss is probably waiting anxiously." Nina took the phone on the sofa and stuffed it to Bianca, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have teased you and grabbed your phone."
When Bianca responded to the message, she could not help but remember what Jean said to her when he proposed.
"Bianca, you must understand. No other man in the world has loved you longer than I have, with more conviction than I do..." Those were the words that Jean said on the day that he proposed.
Now, Bianca knew that what he said was wrong.
There was another man in this world who fell in love longer than he had, ever since she was still clueless and did not know what love between men and women was.
The Crawford Manor.
Luke laid down but could not fall asleep. He tossed and turned before he got up to drink half a glass of water. The second time he woke up, he went to the bathroom and the third time he got up, he went to the balcony to smoke.
All three times that he got up, his eyes were fixed on the phone on the bedside table.
There were no new messages.
When he got up for the fourth time, Luke stood on the balcony with his brows furrowed deeply in discomfort. He took a box of cigarettes, popped one out, and placed it on his lips. When he lit up the lighter to light the cigarette, he thought to himself, 'Was he being too pushy?'
The phrase "it's not actually business if you're forcing people for a sale" came to him.
The man's thin lips and mouth were filled with tobacco smell. With the cigarette that burned between his fingers and under the effects of nicotine, he made up his mind to be colder to her. He promised himself that he would not spoil her too much or treat her too well.
If she sent him a message, he promised himself he would not reply immediately.
"Buzz..."
His cell phone vibrated. 1
Luke looked behind him and suddenly saw a light flickering in the direction of the bedside table in the dark bedroom.
The man returned to the bedroom without any hesitation. He moved too eagerly and his thigh under his brown robe knocked onto the corner of the hard bed. He frowned with pain but he reached out to pick his phone up.
"Okay." Bianca sent a voice message instead of a text.
Luke could not hold himself back. He promised himself that he would be cold to her, but he still held down the voice message button immediately. His voice was hoarse after smoking, "Let’s watch the sunrise together tomorrow.”
"Okay..."
Her soft words softened the man's initially cold demeanor.
Luke could not sleep after tasting his first touch of love.
When he got up at three, he grabbed the car keys and went out. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Louis just came back from the nightclub. He yawned and saw his brother meticulously combing his hair in a suit and leather shoes. He thought he had seen a ghost, "Where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Luke ignored everything around him. He got in the car and left.
Louis looked at the sports car that disappeared in front of the mansion and shook his head, "Tsk, I guess it really was a girl. Taking his sports car out at three o'clock in the morning? What else is he
going to do? Workout?"
