Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1074

"What else could be more important than spending time with my mother?" Leia smiled innocently.

Queenie felt relieved seeing her daughter like that. Ever since Leia lost her baby, she had been blaming them for not saving her child or her relationship with Brody.

She might still be holding that grudge if not for Brody's accident.

After the incident, Queenie could sense that Leia was growing apart from her and her husband. She wanted to mend the relationship, but Leia did not give her the chance to do so.

It had been very long since Leia behaved so warmly toward her. Queenie thought that Leia had perhaps forgiven her.

"Good girl. Come sit beside me." Queenie smiled warmly and patted the space next to her.

Leia took off her slippers, reclined on the bed, and hugged Queenie's waist. She could not help but think of what was going to happen in her bedroom.

Queenie felt Leia's presence beside her. She sighed when she thought of Bianca, who was still missing. "It would be so nice if your sister is still here."

She would want her daughters to be by each of her sides.

A hint of viciousness appeared in Leia's eyes when Bianca was mentioned, though she did not express it in her voice. "Mom, can you tell me a story?"

"Story?" Queenie was surprised. "What story?"

"You know, the stories you used to tell me when I was younger. I'd like to listen to them again." Leia lifted her head and looked at her innocently. "I was thinking that if I have a child, I'd read her bedtime stories like how you used to."

Queenie smiled gently and patted her head. "You're grown-up now, but you still want to be told bedtime stories. What do you want me to tell?"

"Anything is fine, as long as you're the one telling it," Leia said while leaning close to her.

Queenie thought for a while and began to tell her a story.

Her voice was gentle and soft, but Leia was not paying attention. She tried to listen to any noise coming out of her bedroom.

However, the walls were too well-insulated, and she could only hear Queenie's voice. That made her even more worried.

If Abel failed to kill Wayne, Wayne would kill her.

There was no way to explain to Wayne why a man was lying in ambush in her closet.

Either she or Wayne would die tonight!

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Abel waited quietly in the closet for Wayne to appear.

Suddenly, he heard a slight noise, but it was not the door opening. Abel was sure that it was not Leia or any of her family members.

It meant that the person was Wayne…

Abel clenched the dagger in his hands tightly. The footsteps outside were closer and closer, and a bloodthirsty grin appeared on his face.

At the moment Wayne opened the closet doors, Abel stabbed his body with a dagger. He was very familiar with human anatomy, so he knew where to stab to ensure certain death.

Abel's dagger plunged into Wayne's kidney and twisted.

"Who… are you?" Wayne looked at the dagger in his body in shock. Then, he turned his gaze toward Abel.

"Your killer." Abel did not give him the chance to recover. He pulled out the dagger and wanted to pierce his throat.

Wayne gritted his teeth and dodged the attack.
