Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1848

When she listened to Luca’s thoughtful words, Queenie was reminded of Bianca.

If her daughter was as thoughtful as the person in front of her, she would not have to worry that much.

Queenie looked at Luca's gentle face. Queenie always had this familiar feeling and unknown intimacy for Luca.

Queenie’s eyes welled up a little while staring at her. She suddenly had inexplicable mixed feelings surging within her. “Luca, I’m sorry for what happened this time.”

“Mrs. Norman, you didn’t do anything wrong. Why are you apologizing?” Luca shook her head. She smiled at her to calm Queenie down.

Queenie was her biological mother. She would not blame her no matter what she did. Besides, Queenie had her own reason for what had happened this time.

She could not blame Queenie and Jack for what had happened.

“No, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have introduced someone to you before getting to know him better. Enoch must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?” Queenie reflected on everything that had happened after she went home last night. She felt that it had been wrong of her to introduce Enoch to Luca.

Moreover, Enoch seemed to have caused Luca a lot of trouble.

“No. It’s just because it’s not the right time for me to get into a relationship now. That’s why I was so annoyed.” Luca shook her head. She should not blame Queenie for this.

Although Enoch was a little annoying, he was just an ordinary man who was pursuing a woman. He did things that a man would typically do to win a woman’s heart.

Her impatience was not because Enoch had been bothering her.

It was because she was worried that Luke would find out that she went on a blind date with Enoch. She did not want to have to explain things to him, and she did not want him to misunderstand her.

After all, her mood swings came from her fear of being discovered by Luke.

"That's very kind of you. But is there such a thing as a perfect match? When I remember first meeting Jack in the past, I didn’t think that we were a good match either. But I still ended up with the person I didn’t think would match me well. I never thought I would end up marrying him either.” Queenie held her cup with both hands while telling Luca about her past.

This was the first time Luca heard about Queenie and Jack’s love story. It caught Luca’s interest. “What happened next?”

"Oh, just the normal stuff. He asked me out a few times, and I was attracted to the way he talked about politics and creating a better future. That's quite magical, right? After that, we got into a relationship and we got married. Then, we had children. Everything happened just like how it would with any other couple, but it’s also somewhat different." Queenie took a trip down her memory lane. Her 30 years of marriage with Jack were plain yet heart-warming.

The corner of Luca’s lips curled and turned into a smile. “In the end, whatever will be, will be. Let nature take its course.”

“Yes. Let nature take its course when it comes to things like getting married and having kids. So, Luca, stop wondering whether a man is a good match for you or not. You’ll find someone.” Queenie patted the back of Luca’s hand.

It was true that Queenie was anxious to arrange blind dates for Luca. However, she was only forced to do so as she did not want anything to happen between Luca and Luke. That was why she made such arrangements.

She also wanted Luca to be happy.

“Yes, that’s how it works. I guess it’s better to go with the flow when it comes to relationships and marriage.” Luca understood what Queenie meant.

Queenie was wondering if she should introduce some other men to her.

However, Enoch had caused enough trouble for Luca. Luca probably did not want to get involved with another blind date and get herself into more trouble.

Queenie understood Luca’s thoughts.

Enoch insisted on seeing Queenie, so he had asked for a leave from his superior this morning. He explained, "Mrs. Norman, I've already taken the day off. It'll only take a few minutes for me to speak to you about this."

Queenie helplessly let out a sigh when Enoch insisted on seeing her. She said, “Fine. Where are you now? I’ll meet you there.”

Enoch was thinking of personally visiting her to show his sincerity. He did not expect Queenie to offer to look for him. Therefore, he mentioned a coffee shop nearby.

Queenie recalled that the coffee shop was not very far from her, so she said, “I happen to be nearby there. I’m going there now. See you in ten minutes.”

"Alright, Mrs. Norman. I'll be waiting for you here." Enoch trotted to the coffee shop. There were certain things he needed to tell her in person so that she would know the gravity of the matter.

Queenie walked into the coffee shop after she arrived. It was a weekday and was still working hours now. Hence, there was barely anyone in the coffee shop.

She found Enoch sitting at the corner of the coffee shop with one glance. She walked toward him and sat down.

Enoch handed her the menu immediately. “Mrs. Norman, you’re here. Is there anything you’d like to drink?”

Queenie shook her head. Even though she knew Enoch came looking for her because of Luca, she did not really agree with him pestering Luca. She tried to be polite and gentle. She looked at him and said, "Enoch, I've just finished eating lunch. I'm not ordering anything. What would you like to tell me?"

"Mrs. Norman, I actually like Luca a lot. But she refuses to give me a chance, and I don't feel comfortable with that," said Enoch. It was his first time getting rejected by a woman. It made him feel like a loser.

Queenie frowned when she realized how stubborn Enoch was. She tried to persuade him, saying, “You can’t force someone to fall in love with you.”

"Mrs. Norman, I know that. But I want an explanation for why Luca would reject me. She didn’t even agree to get to know me better before she rejected me. As a man, I can't accept such an outcome. So, I did something yesterday," said Enoch.
