Chapter 133
Chapter 133 He Was The Perfect Lover And The Best Husband
Bianca searched for Grandpa for nearly an hour.
However, she still could not find him anywhere.
She started panicking.
After she went back upstairs and looked around the empty rental place, she found that Grandpa had completely disappeared.
Grandpa's cane was gone as well. 'Could it be that he was walking with his cane when he went downstairs?'
However, Bianca knew that Grandpa did not normally use his cane unless he was traveling long distance and needed it for support.
Dispirited, Binaca walked into Grandpa's bedroom.
She remembered that before she went on the date with Brayden, Grandpa was fine.
However, during dinnertime, Grandpa had said earnestly, "Sometimes I can't help but think that it's not good to live too long. I'm getting older by the hour and becoming more of a burden to you..."
'Could it be that Grandpa ran away from home?’
Bianca shook her head. Grandpa would never do such a thing.
When she opened Grandpa’s closet, Bianca took a closer look. She was not sure how many sets of clothes Grandpa brought to A City. She could not tell if there were a few sets of clothes missing or not. 1
However, the closet looked like it had gone through sruffling.
'Did Grandpa really take his clothes and cane and ran away from home...'
Bianca could not calm herself down, so she took out her cell phone to call her aunt who she had not talked to for a long time.
However, even if Grandpa ran away from home, he would not have gone to her place.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service..."
The not in service tone was heard from her phone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer aunt's cell phone number was not in service, which meant that it had been a long tsince she used that number.
Bianca called her dad.
Kevin just chatted a little with her and sounded normal, telling her that he was fine and that she should not worry. He also told her to have a good day at work tomorrow. These were things he normally said.
When she heard what her dad said, Bianca knew that Grandpa's disappearance had nothing to do with him.
All her doubts pointed to the possibility of Grandpa running away from hbecause he did not want to burden his granddaughter...
When Bianca furrowed her brows and got even more anxious, she inadvertently saw the food box on the floor near the wall in the doorway. She went over, crouched down, and opened the food box. There was a card inside.
The image printed on the card was romantic and warm.
There was no nwritten on it to signify who it was from. i
Bianca's heart was more flustered than before.
She pursed her lips and stood up with difficulty. She was silent for about a minute. When she looked down at the desserts on the ground again, she
suddenly remembered that Luke stopped her on the way back from Xavier's manor as she was walking back to the city.
Perhaps Luke saw the text that Brayden sent to tell her about the dessert place that was all the rage with girls.
How did Luke react?
He looked cold and indifferent with a really stern look on his face.
However, once the childish side of him appeared, it was scarier than high school students in love. He was going to be salty and petty about everything.
Bianca hardly needed to think before she guessed who sent the dessert.
Bianca took her bag, opened the door, and went out. At the stime, she gave Luke a call.
By the tshe got downstairs, she still did not manage to get through to Luke’s phone.
After calling him several times, her phone prompted that the number she dialed could not be reached at the moment.
As Bianca stood in the elevator, her mind started wandering off. ‘Luke must've sent someone to take Grandpa away. It’s impossible for Grandpa to be lost. He must be drinking tea and playing chess with Old Master Crawford.'
Last time, it was Luke who took Grandpa to the Crawford manor.
After that, Grandpa told her that he was walking around the neighborhood when he was surrounded by a bunch of hooligans. Grandpa said that it was a good thing Luke rushed over and sorted it out.
That was why Luke brought Grandpa back to his place.
When Bianca left her place, she hailed a taxi.
As she sat in the taxi and looked at the dazzling city scenery, she thought with a sense of melancholy that Luke was indeed a very caring man. Any girl who had him as a partner would think that he was the perfect lover and the best husband.
It was just that in this lifetime, no matter how much they liked each other, they were just not meant to be.
On the way there while Bianca was in the taxi, she still did not get through Luke's phone.
She thought he might be in the Crawford manor.
After she reached the Crawford manor, she got out of the taxi and turned around to tell the driver, "Mister, can you wait here forfor a while?"
The taxi driver nodded.
Bianca walked toward the Crawford manor's door and rang their doorbell. She decided that she would take Grandpa away the moment she saw him.
Soon, the butler cum driver answered the door.
"Ms. Rayne, why are you here?" The butler was surprised.
"I'm here for my grandpa," Bianca looked at the butler and asked politely," Is my grandpa here?"
The butler's following words made Bianca's just recently calmed heart panic again.
"Your grandpa isn’t here.”
"He isn't?" Bianca looked at the courtyard which was indeed very quiet." Well, is Luke here?"
Bianca was sure that Luke had sent someone to deliver the dessert.
"Mr. Crawford isn’t here either, nor Young Master Lanie and Young Mistress Rainie," said the butler.
At that moment, Allison cout of the manor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she saw that the person at the door was Bianca, Allison walked over, waved her hand, and motioned the butler to go in.
The butler nodded to Bianca before stepping back.
When there were only two of them left at the door, Allison looked at Bianca coldly. "What are you doing here?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Bianca closed the door and turned to leave.
She did not want to hear another word from Allison.
Allison stood at the door and sneered at Bianca who was getting into the taxi. She looked back at the butler who just left and called out, "Wait."
The butler stopped in his steps.
"What did she say to you just now?" Allison asked.
"Ms. Rayne first said that she was here to pick up her grandfather. I told her that her grandfather was not here. Then, she asked if Master Luke was at home. I told her that Master Luke, Young Master Lanie, and Young Mistress Rainie were all not at home," the butler said truthfully.
Allison lowered his head and thought for a while. 'Grandpa Rayne left without saying goodbye? Otherwise, why would his granddaughter be looking for him everywhere? Has she been looking for him for so long that she even cto the manor?'
Bianca asked the taxi driver to drive toward the city center.
Since Blanche and Rainie were not in Crawford manor, they were most likely with their father. Perhaps they were staying over in the apartment in the city center that night.
She still could not get through Luke's phone.
When she reached the apartment, Bianca did not have a keycard, so the service personnel did not let her in.
Finally, Bianca said, "I know the door number. I'll ring the doorbell and the owner inside will letin."
The service personnel nodded.
Bianca pressed on the inteinside the service desk.
The personnel at the service desk made an exception to let her use the intebecause the young lady claimed that her grandfather was missing and that a life was at stake.
The intewas generally not used in the property because they would not want to disturb the distinguished residents.
After all, everyone who stayed there was made of money. Most of them were really famous people.
When the bell for the interang, the service personnel and Bianca were already on their way up in the elevator.
"It's Bianca. Can you letin?" Bianca's voice was low. The moment the inteconnected, Bianca spoke out before Luke had a chance to speak, i "Cup," Luke paused for a few seconds before saying.
