Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1228

Luca followed Queenie and walked to the sofa to sit down. She looked at Jack and Queenie, saying, "Mr. and Mrs. Norman, you can just call me Luca. Ms. Luca sounds too formal."

Jack and Queenie glanced at each other. They both smiled gently. "Okay, Luca sounds nice. We want to be more casual too but were afraid that you would mind."

"I don't mind," Luca answered almost immediately. She did not mind at all. When she decided to appear at Norman Residence, she was already prepared to be in contact with Jack and Queenie for the long term.

Hearing them call her Ms. Luca made her feel even more distant from them.

"Well, then you should call us Uncle Jack and Aunt Queenie." Queenie loved Luca’s sincere and gentle character.

"Uncle Jack and Aunt Queenie," Luca went along with Queenie’s wish.

Queenie was overjoyed and quickly poured her a cup of tea as she said, "I’m sure you’re exhausted from the journey here. Come, have a cup of tea to warm your stomach."

Luca was not tired from the car ride as Luke’s car was comfortable. She was, however, tired from doing experiments.

She took the cup of tea from Queenie and thanked her.

Jack’s gaze carried a hint of appreciation when he saw her sipping the tea slowly, unlike the others who rushed to finish it in a gulp. He was happy to have met someone who knew how to enjoy his first-rate tea.

After Luca finished the cup of tea, she felt as though her exhaustion was nearly gone.

Sure enough, it was top-shelf tea. Jack was a fan of good tea, so the tea he brewed for guests was excellent. She felt satisfied after drinking it.

Jack noticed the satisfaction in Luca's eyes and asked her, "Do you enjoy drinking tea too?"

"Yes, I do." Luca nodded, and as soon as she put down the teacup, Queenie poured another cup for her.

Queenie did not do that because Bianca was her savior but because she liked her very much. She thought of the first time they met and how she had felt inexplicably close to Luca. Their interaction brought her a lot of joy.

"If you like it, drink as much as you want," she said.

Luca was supportive. To prove that she did not say what she did because she was apple-polishing, she picked up her cup again, took a sip, and then put it down. "There are three flavors in this tea. Different flavors are brought out when the tea is drunk at different temperatures—hot, warm, and cold.”

Jack shot her a complimentary look. "Sure enough, you’re someone who values and knows tea."

Luca smiled.

After she heard what Luca said, Queenie asked curiously, "Luke said that you came from Russia. I’ve always thought that tea wasn’t a big thing in Russia. Luca, who did you learn your tea-tasting skills from?"

Luca replied, "I learned from a tea shop owner who came from a family of tea lovers. He has unique insights into tea tasting."

"That’s interesting." Jack nodded, waved his hand, and said, "The tea is warm now. Would you like to take a sip?"

Luca nodded, took a sip from her cup, and said, "Compared to when the tea is hot, there’s a hint of astringency, but the tea is still fragrant."

"When the tea cools, the astringency will be stronger." Jack nodded, and his admiration for her grew.

Queenie sat on the sofa bed as a smile appeared on her face. She listened to the two of them talk about tea. They got along so well that others would not believe it was only their second time meeting. If someone said that they were father and daughter, it was likely that others would believe it.
