When she heard what the nanny said, Rainie got so scared that she walked over and hugged Aunt Bea. "What are we going to do? Daddy’s back.”
The nanny was also embarrassed that she had to ask Bianca for help.
"If he asks, tell him that I’m the one who brought it,” Bianca said.
"Thank you for being considerate, Ms. Bianca. My two sons are still studying. I really can't afford to lose this job." The nanny looked back at the corridor. When she turned around, she squeezed her hands nervously.
"I understand."
Bianca glanced at the instant mac and cheese that was almost ready. The smell was everywhere. If Luke came in, he would have smelled it. Therefore, even if she threw it away now, he would still find out about it.
It was better not to throw it out.
Luke did not let his kids eat junk food because he was a young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Even if he used to live in a place like Luojiazhen, he was still a rich boy.
Quite often, the lifestyle habits of wealthy children were much different than the average Joes in life.
He was still not over his messed up feelings for her. It was only going to end after she got officially married. It was mostly because Luke did not want to give up yet and was still being persistent.
Bianca did not know why he liked her and thought perhaps it was because of the newness of her in his heart.
If a man who hated junk food like him saw her feeding junk food to his kids, she thought that perhaps he would get angry, rage, and hate her a lot. Perhaps he would finally see what a lowly person she actually was and that she was not good enough for him.

Blanche was on the bed. He proudly pursed his little mouth with a console on his hands, pressing and playing happily!
"You broke your leg?"
Suddenly, there was a low male voice.
Blanche looked in the direction of the door. When he saw his old man in a suit and leather shoes walking in, the game console he was holding in his little hands almost fell off the bed.
It was the gift that he got from Granduncle during his last birthday. If it fell and broke, he would not be able to use it anymore.
That was because Daddy did not like him getting addicted to playing video games.
He ignored his dad and rushed to pick up the game console that was about to fall.
"Phew, thank God.” Blanche hugged his beloved game console. He turned it off before looking up, blinking his thick eyelashes at his dad.
Luke stood by his bed and looked condescendingly at his son's calf that was a smaller circumference than his own arm. "Why did you jump off the building?"
"Because… Because I want to see Aunt Bea..."
"So you wanted to see Aunt Bea, but since she didn’t come, you decided to jump?" Luke received a call from Louis after the incident. He was shocked when he found out that his son had broken his leg.
Fortunately, Louis immediately told him that Lanie jumping off the building was all fake. There was inflatable fall protection that made it safe for anyone to jump even from the 30th floor, let alone the third floor.
Blanche could hear the reprimand in his Daddy's tone. He bowed to him with regret. “I was wrong, Daddy.”
"If you want to see her, there are plenty of ways. Don’t risk it next time.” Luke stepped forward and patted his son's head. He turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
When the nanny in the kitchen saw Mr. Crawford's figure, she walked out of the kitchen and greeted. “Mr. Crawford."
Luke nodded as he looked deep into the kitchen.
Bianca was holding an insulated bowl so that it would not burn a child’s hand when they held it. She put the mac and cheese that she prepared and brought it out with the tiny cutleries.
After she took two steps, she bumped into the man who came into the kitchen.
Bianca felt very awkward because she had just left in the morning. However, she was back again and in the kitchen making mac and cheese for his kids. It was a situation that was hard to explain.
"What's this? Did you make it?" Luke looked down at the white insulated bowl in her hand and asked even though he already knew.
"It’s instant mac and cheese with extra cheese. I bought it for Lanie and Rainie." Bianca took the fall for everything.
The nanny was in a daze as she tried to be busy. She found a small table and put it on the young master’s bed so that he could eat the food easier.
"Eat slowly and be careful not to burn your tongue.” Bianca patted the two little kids and turned to leave.
The nanny looked at the two kids in the room.
After Bianca walked out of the room, she walked toward the kitchen nervously.
"I want extra cheese.”
Before Bianca entered the kitchen, she looked up at the source of the voice.
Luke stood tall in the kitchen. The light from the sun made his sharp and angular features slightly softer. However, there was still deep anger in his eyes that was leftover from the morning that was not vented out yet.
Bianca sighed to herself and went to open the last pack of instant mac and cheese.
‘For a man like Luke, he can get any girl he wants.’
Why was he so hung up on an ordinary girl like her?
However, the answer was clear. He wanted what he could not have. Once he had a taste of it, nothing else was the same.
She took another clean microwavable bowl which was just the right size for the mac and cheese. Bianca turned and went to boil some hot water again.
When the water was boiled, she poured it onto the mac and cheese.
As she poured the boiling water into it, the aroma of the cheese powder flooded the air.
She put it in the microwave oven for another minute.
Even though it was only a minute, it felt like it was going on forever. Suddenly, she heard the man’s voice from behind asking in a deep voice, "Why didn't you go on the blind date?"
