Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1853

"Because Daddy said that the family is not peaceful now and it’ll affect our quality of life. That’s why we moved out. It’s not just us. Even Uncle and his family are moving out,” Rainie said.

Queenie knew that this was because of Allison’s return.

Kids would not tell lies, especially a little girl like Rainie.

Queenie nodded, indicating that she understood. With a gentle smile, she said, “Alright, Rainie, you can go upstairs to play."

"Alright, Grandma." Rainie got up and headed upstairs with little steps.

Queenie’s heart faltered when she saw the child’s back. ‘If only Bianca was in the country. If she was around, the family would be a happy family.’

Luca stood in Jack's study and watched him search for his oil paintings in the collection rack. She did not say a word.

Apart from loving to drink while socializing, his other hobby was collecting oil paintings.

However, due to his status, he did not reveal this hobby of his.

"Oh, Luca. I should apologize for the things that have been happening lately." Jack took out an oil painting and placed it on the table. He apologized to Luca.

Luca looked at him, astonished. "I beg your pardon, Mr. Norman?"

"I'm talking about the blind date with Enoch," said Jack while taking off the cloth that was covering the oil painting. "I learned about some of the things that happened later on. Enoch has given you a lot of trouble, hasn’t he?"

Luca nodded and did not hide it from him. "A little. Actually, it’s not that much trouble.”

"Are you saying this only because you’re afraid I might punish him?” Jack asked. If a civil servant were to be targeted by his superior, that would be the end of his career.

Luca shook her head. 'Why should I be afraid that Enoch will be punished?

'I didn't do anything. Even if Enoch is really punished, what does it have anything to do with me?’

Luca was worried that Jack might tell Luke this so that he could avenge her.

"Back when I first introduced Enoch to you, it was because I thought that he was a decent guy. I didn’t expect him to be such a burden. I got to know all of this through Mrs. Norman. It seems I owe you an apology," Jack said. If he had known much sooner that Luca was Bianca, he would not have done such a thing.

"I'm the one who should be blamed for this issue. If I had made myself clearer before this, none of these things would’ve happened.” Luca shouldered all the blame herself.

Jack shook his head. He changed the topic after realizing she did not blame him and Queenie.

After putting down the oil painting, he called out to her, "Come, these are the oil paintings I recently collected. Come take a look and give your comments on them."

Luca nodded with a smile.

While both of them were evaluating the oil paintings, Queenie knocked on the study’s door and came in. She said to them, "The chef has prepared dinner. You guys may come down and have dinner."

Luca heard it and nodded. She turned around and noticed that Queenie's expression was much better now.

Jack kept the oil paintings and said, "Let's go. Call the kids to come down and have dinner."

Queenie nodded and sighed silently when she saw both of them. It seemed that Jack had been treating Luca better since two days ago.

The moment she entered the study, she had a feeling as though both of them were father and daughter.

'What did Luca do?

'How did she make Jack change into another person?'

Queenie saw Luca walking to the playroom next door, and after calling out to the kids, they headed downstairs together.

She pointed at one of the photos and asked.

Queenie took a glance, then looked at Jack.

Jack was looking at her as well. "You're the one who arranged these photos. Why don’t you explain?”

Queenie then said, "This was when Jack was about to propose to me. He brought me to a park. He had planned the proposal with his colleagues. In the photos after that, you can see when the proposal took place.”

Luca nodded and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Norman to have planned a proposal.”

Jack scratched the back of his head, feeling embarrassed. Back then, he was indeed very careless but was fortunate enough to have his colleagues remind him. Queenie was not one of those conservative women but a celebrity. If he wanted to increase his chances of a successful proposal, he had to make sure the proposal was trendy.

Hence, with the help of his colleagues, he planned a proposal.

"It was all because I was afraid Queenie might not agree to the proposal if I did it casually," said Jack.

As Jack spoke, Queenie began to recall the past. At that time, she never expected the future to turn out like this.

She then said while feeling shy, "You were the one who planned the proposal. I didn't ask for it!"

"Yes, it’s all because you deserve the best." Jack nodded. He said the sweetest words in front of the kids.

Luca smiled, and the sound of the kids' laughter was heard.

"The kids are still here." Queenie did not expect Jack to say such a thing in front of the kids just to coax her.

"It's alright. Today is our wedding anniversary. Sweet talk is important to show them how good their grandparents' relationship is," Jack said while looking at Luca, who was still flipping the pages of the album to look at more photos.
