Chapter 491 She's Already Mrs. Crawford Except By Name

Mavis stayed in the hospital ward for some time.

The indulgent way Luke treated Bianca suffocated Mavis!

Eventually, she left the hospital ward, carrying her jealousy and hatred with her.

After Mavis left, Sue, Tom, and Nina arrived one after another bearing presents.

They greeted Luke, then asked Bianca how she felt.

They felt somewhat awkward with their boss's overbearing demeanor present.

Seeing that his presence caused unease in his employees, Luke excused himself, saying that he hadto smoke. He would give some space for Bianca's colleagues.

"How did you suddenly end up in a car crash? It's so serious, too.” Nina asked while holding Bianca'shand. She was unhappy as she looked at Bianca's leg in a bulky cast.

"It was an accident. I got hit when I was crossing a road. I'm fine now, don't worry." Bianca hadtrivialized the car crash that had almost claimed her life, so that her colleagues would not have toworry about her.

Sue was pregnant with twins for six months. Her stomach was abnormally big, and she looked likeshe could not maintain her balance as she walked.

Supporting her waist, she advised Bianca, "You should be more careful when you cross the road.There are so many more cars on the road now, and you'd accidentally run into one if you're notcareful. I'll be delivering the babies in three months, but I didn't expect that you'll be hospitalizedbefore me. I wonder which wretch didn't pay attention when he's driving?" "Please sit down andhave a rest, Sue. You shouldn't tire the babies." Bianca was worried that Sue might be exhaustedcarrying the two babies. She gestured to the chair next to her.

Sue's bulging stomach was indeed making her tired. She sat down on the chair.

Even so, her hands did not stay idle. She started to peel an apple for Bianca while speaking, “With aninjury like that, it'll be at least another three months before you can walk again. Just focus on restingand hand your unfinished work to me.”

Tom smiled. "You're such a workaholic, Sue. You work so hard even though you're pregnant. Youshould start looking for a good husband; you wouldn't have to work so hard that way."

Sue glared at Tom. "I have perfectly healthy arms and legs, and I can make money on my own. Whydo I need a man? Most men are unreliable. They can promise you the world at first, but when theyreplace a better woman, they'd ditch you without hesitation and repeat the same thing to her. Tch, I'drather improve myself than gamble my future on a man."

Bianca agreed with Sue's sentiment. "Sue's right, Tom. Reality won't go easy on us just becausewe're women. It's up to us to be self-reliant. We work so hard not because we want to be rich, butbecause we want to be recognized for what we can do.”

Tom jokingly applauded her speech. "Alright, alright, my ladies. Looking at how determined you are,I'm ashamed to be a man. It looks like I'll have to work harder too. Otherwise, you intelligent andbeautiful ladies will leave me behind. I'd love to work with you on the urban reconstruction project,Bianca, but it seems like you'll have to rest for a long time.”

Bianca helplessly touched her right leg in a cast. "No one could've predicted the accident. Nevermind, I can work from home even when I'm recuperating. I'll always be available if there's anythingto discuss."

Nina handed Bianca a peeled orange. "You should just rest at home. Are you planning to be self-reliant like Sue?’

Sue tut-tutted Nina before Bianca could answer. "What's wrong with being self-reliant? Bianca issmart and ambitious, and most importantly, she is talented. She has the capability to be self-reliant.I think that among the three of us, she'll be the fastest to be promoted.”

Bianca grinned sheepishly. "I only want to do my best, and I don't have any plans for anything else.Right, I should share a piece of good news with all of you. I'm already three months pregnant.” iThe three people were shocked by the sudden news.

Nina was the first one to shriek. She playfully pinched Bianca's shoulders and looked at her withdisbelief. "When did that happen, Bianca? Why didn't you tell us? Very well, you really know how tokeep a secret!”

Sue put the half-peeled apple away and stared at Bianca's stomach. "Wow! You suffered such aserious crash, but the baby is safe? That baby must be very lucky! Congratulations, Bianca. It mustfeel good to be pregnant again. After you give birth, my baby will have a playmate.”

Tom was male. He could not empathize with Bianca like the other two female colleagues, but hecongratulated her anyway.

Even though Bianca was not married to Luke yet, everyone knew that Bianca was already Mrs.Crawford in every aspect except by name, i

On the other side...

While Old Master Crawford and Susan were not at home and the twins were at school, Allisoninvited Leia over to have a tour of Crawford Manor.

Allison played the role of the matriarch of the household, while Leia was Luke's future wife. Theywent into various rooms until they finally arrived in front of Luke's room.

Allison took out an electronic access card and told Leia, "My son is a clean freak. He wouldn't let anywoman enter his room. Now that you're about to be my son's girlfriend, I'll let you in to take apeek."

Leia lowered her head shyly.

She really wanted to go in, but she pretended to be modest. "Aunt Allison, won't it be inappropriateto enter Luke's room without his permission? Would he be angry if he found out?”

Allison was unperturbed. "Why would he be angry? He's my son, and he listens to what I say.”

A hint of a mocking smile crept up the corners of Leia's lips.

If Luke listened to his mother, Leia would have already long been his girlfriend.

Leia was all too eager to enter Luke's room, as though she would replace the man in the room waitingfor her.

After multiple attempts, Allison did not manage to open the door. She stood on the spot awkwardly.It was only then she realized that Luke had changed the lock on the door...
