Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1167

The couple went to the rose bush in the yard. Queenie told Jack which flowers he should cut so that the future blooms would not be affected.

After they were done, Queenie sat in the gazebo and wiped off the sweat from her face.

Jack noticed that her complexion was quite pale. He asked her out of concern, "Do you want to rest in the house?"

"No, it's cool and windy here. I feel much better after sweating," Queenie said with a smile.

Jack sat down beside her.

Queenie took his hand and said, "Jack, I have a craving for the apple pie they sell in the cafe at the street corner. Shall we walk over there?"

"You'd better not walk around. I'll buy it for you," Jack said.

Queenie held her hand and shook her head. "I'm not that fragile, Jack. I'd like to sit in the cafe with you and enjoy some dessert, just like what we used to do in our younger days."

After she married Jack, Jack was busy with his work, and they always tried to find time out of their busy schedules to enjoy some apple pie in the cafe.

The memories from those years gone by were still fresh in her mind.

"Alright." Jack did not want to see her tire out, but he could not refuse her request. He reached out to Queenie. "Come, let me buy you some apple pie."

Queenie smiled gently and took his hand. "Alright."

The couple stepped out of the gate.

When Luca saw them walking toward her, she suddenly felt flustered and did not know what to do.

She had been standing under the tree for an hour, and she did not expect to be lucky enough to meet them.

Queenie noticed Luca in the distance. She patted Jack's hand and said, "Look at that young woman over there, Jack."

Jack also noticed Luca.

Luca was drenched in sweat after standing in the sun for an hour. Several stray strands of hair were stuck to her forehead.

"Let's go over there." Queenie could not bear to see a young woman standing under the sun.

"Mm." Jack nodded, and the couple headed toward Luca.

"Good morning, young lady," Queenie smiled and greeted Luca.

"Good morning…" Luca did not expect that they would come over and greet her. She suddenly felt a twinge in her nose, and her eyes were flooded with a mixture of tears and sweat.

"Are you waiting for someone?" Queenie asked. It was almost noon, and the sun was scorching hot. She could not imagine why any normal person would stand there.

The tree had been recently pruned, and it did not provide much shade.

"Ah, yes." Luca nodded. She was incredibly moved by the seemingly mundane conversation. She wanted to tell them that she was waiting for them, but she could not say that.

"Look at you, all drenched in sweat. You must have been waiting for a long time, isn't it? There's a cafe at the street corner up ahead. Why don't you wait there?" Queenie said gently. She did not know why she decided to be so friendly to the young woman in front of her.

She had never seen that face before, but she felt that the young woman was incredibly familiar.

"We've agreed to meet here." Luca tried to find an excuse.

"It's not too far away. I'm sure that it's incredibly tiring standing here. We're going there, shall we go together? You can tell your friend that you're waiting in the cafe." Queenie extended the invitation.

Luca nodded emotionally when she received the invitation to go along with them.
