Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle
Chapter 673 She Is Blessed For Having A Caring Son

When she heard her daughter sleep-talking, Bianca could not help but reach out and gently hold Rainie's hand.

The little girl's hand was slightly cool. Bianca tried to warm it with her hand.

Rainie sensed her mother's grip. She moaned softly and opened her eyes.

"Mommy?" She called out coyly, still half-asleep.

Bianca tucked her daughter into the blanket and said gently, "Are you awake, Rainie? It's still early. You should continue sleeping.”

Rainie rubbed her eyes with her other hand and said expectantly, "Mommy, is Daddy home yet? I dreamed of Daddy just now. He bought many toys for Big Bro and me, and he also said that he'd bring us to the theme park... Mommy, Daddy has been on a business trip for so long. When will he be back? I really, really miss Daddy..."

Bianca tried hard not to cry when she heard her daughter say that.

She patted Rainie's head and said softly, "Daddy will come back. If you finish your food and go to school every day and listen to what Mommy says, Daddy will come back soon.”

She would rather not lie to her daughter, but if an adult could not accept the fact that Luke was gone, a young child would not either.

She felt that the lie was necessary, but she did not know if she could maintain it for long.

Bianca did not know when Lanie woke up. The little boy stared at his mother and sister with his beautiful eyes while listening to their conversation.

"Are you awake too, Lanie? I'll get some warm water for you two ..." Bianca's gaze wavered when she noticed that her son was looking at her. She got out of bed and went out of the bedroom. Lanie's mind was more mature, and he would not be as easily convinced as his sister. Bianca felt guilty every time she saw her son's penetrating gaze.

In the kitchen, Bianca poured some warm water into two cups. While she walked past the living room and was about to go up the stairs, she saw Lanie waiting for her at the staircase in his cartoon print pajamas.

"Why are you up? Quick, go back to bed," Bianca said hurriedly.

"I want to ask you a question, Mommy," Lanie stood there, straight as a tree. His gaze was as sharp as Luke as he stared at Bianca.

Bianca put the cups down and crouched to Lanie's eye level

She gently hugged her son's tiny body and asked, "What would you like to ask me, Lanie?"

The little boy pressed his lips and hesitated for a while before asking the question, "Mommy, did something happen to Daddy? Is he never coming back?"

Bianca's heart wrenched when she heard her son's question. "Why do you say that, Lanie? Didn't Mommy tell you that Daddy is on an overseas business trip? He's setting up a new branch, and so he's very busy. When..."

Lanie bit his lip and interjected, "Mommy, I overheard your conversation with Uncle Gordan a few days ago. Uncle Gordan said that Daddy got into an accident, and no one has found him yet. You can fool Rainie that he's on a business trip, but I know that Daddy is gone..."

Bianca's heart wrenched. She did not know that her son had already known the truth and had tried to keep it to himself. He would not ask his mother about it if not that he could not hold it in anymore.

Bianca kissed Lanie's cute little face, tried to compose herself, and told him, "Your Daddy indeed has gotten into an accident, but I believe that he's still alive and well somewhere in the world. Lanie, you have to trust me, and you have to trust your Daddy. He's an amazing man, and nothing can stop him. He won't go missing just like that, right? Mommy has been busy recently, but soon, I'll bring you kids to look for Daddy. I believe he's waiting for us somewhere..."

Lanie stared at his mother's expectant gaze, nodded resolutely, and hugged his mother's neck. "Mm, I trust you, Mommy, and I trust that Daddy is still alive. He's not at home now, but I'll take care of you, Rainie, and Tommy on his behalf. I believe that we'll reunite once more, and... you shouldn't cry alone at night, alright? I'll feel sad too..."

"Alright, my beloved son.” Bianca hugged her son tightly and smiled with tears in her eyes.

She considered herself blessed for having such a caring young boy in her times of despair.

The next morning, Bianca was woken up by a phone call

She answered the call. Old Master Crawford asked her to return to Crawford Manor with the children.

He sounded extremely nervous, as though something serious had happened.

Bianca thought that Old Master Crawford was so nervous because he missed the children a lot. She told him that she would bring them over after they woke up from their sleep.

Allison had always thought that Bianca had caused Luke's death. Now that Luke was gone, Allison's attitude toward Bianca became even worse. That was why Bianca rarely returned to Crawford Manor unless it was absolutely necessary.

After the call, Bianca thought hard about why Old Master Crawford insisted that she return as soon as possible. For various reasons, he rarely asked her to return to Crawford Manor.

Soon, the Crawford family driver went to Bianca's mansion and waited for her.

After the twins woke up, Bianca picked up Tommy, who was still sleeping, and the four of them went back to Crawford Manor.

Bianca realized that something was amiss as soon as she stepped into Crawford Manor.

The living room was packed with people. On the couch was Old Master Crawford who was sitting straight, Allison who seemed dismissive, Susan who was impassive, and Louis who was confused. On the other couch sat Old Mr. Norman, Mr. and Mrs. Norman, Lionel, and Selena.

Bianca was shocked. Why was Crawford Manor so crowded?

Mr. and Mrs. Norman seemed visibly agitated when they saw Bianca coming through the door.

Old Master Crawford beckoned at Bianca lovingly. "You're back, Bianca. Come over, take a seat, and let me look at my darling great-grandson..."

"Why do we have so many guests in the house today, Grandfather?" Bianca sat next to Old Master Crawford, feeling slightly nervous. She did not know what was going on.

Old Master Crawford did not answer her question because his attention was focused on Tommy. He wanted to touch the baby in Bianca's arms, but seeing that the baby was still sleeping soundly, his hand paused in mid-air. Then, he looked at Bianca with an inexplicable gaze...
