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, Biancafelt much more at ease.

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

Staying by her brother's side allowed her to feel grounded. That logic did not sound wrong becausethat 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 ofview, she regarded him as her brother. That way, when the two of them were alone, it would not beweird morally.

Luke drove to a toll booth. When he passed the toll booth, he turned his head and glanced at thewoman next to him who was huddled up in the passenger seat. In the past few days, she was notable 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 totime 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 realizedwhere 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 replace her grandfather. Since he hadto drive for a long time, the driver would feel lonely and bored. It would be better if there wassomeone 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 cardriving 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 angrywith 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 atdawn. 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 wentdown, 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 andslammed 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, andevery wrong she had ever felt started flooding out. “Are you trying to kill us from anger by comingback in the middle of the night? No wonder Luke looks down on his own cousin. He couldn't evengive his blessings for you to date his secretary! Tell me, apart from your physical appearance, whichpart 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 wasvery proud of it.

Who would have thought that his good looks ended up attracting countless women to die and livefor 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 sincethey were young, they never had a good relationship.

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

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 jealousof 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 notdrunk 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. Shepointed to the living room that was full of guests the night before and said, "Everyone who was heremakes up the circle of rich people in A City. Everyone knows each other. Take this afternoon forexample. Allison didn't attend our gathering because of a stupid little fashion event in herentertainment circle. Do you know how many people are laughing behind our backs because ofthat?”

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

What could she do? The only thing she could do was swallow her anger and tell her son in thehopes 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 blessingsfor 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 signsof 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 walkedover 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 suddenlylifted 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 dowas hug her tightly and press her head on his chest. He used his big warm hands to stroke hercheeks and head. With her tiny shoulders wrapped in his arms, he wished that he could just wrapher up completely into his body.

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