Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 219

After the waiters served all the dishes, they left the private restaurant room.

The restaurant's service was personalized. The owner did not believe that the customer was always right, and it was up to her if she wanted to serve those that came through the doors.

Her customers were either regulars or those whose personalities and mannerisms were to the owner's satisfaction. Of course, they had to be able to afford the food there too. Anyone rude or boorish would not be able to taste the spectacular food of that restaurant.

Shakira Neile, the owner, had a temperamental character. She had offended many people in her career, especially the nouveau riche who had money but no manners.

She could afford to offend those people. Her husband and son were influential VIPs.

Bianca took a few bites and turned to feed Rainie, who was clinging onto her and causing her heart to melt out of tenderness. Even if Rainie threw a tantrum and did not want to eat the delicious food served on the table, she would ditch Luke and Lanie so that she could go home and cook for her.

"You should eat this too, Miss Bea. It's sweet!" Rainie mumbled as she chewed the food in her mouth and stared at Bianca with her big eyes.

Bianca smiled. With her fingers, she wiped away some sauce on one corner of Rainie's mouth.

The female restaurant owner came into the room once more.

Luke was taken aback. It was not appropriate for outsiders to step into the room when the family was having a meal.

Shakira coughed gently. She knew that it was abrupt for her to intrude upon the family's mealtime, and it was not her usual style to impose her seniority upon others.

However, she could not hold back her curiosity when Bianca's face reminded her of a younger Queenie!

Shakira pulled a chair, sat down casually, and looked at Bianca. "How is the food, Bianca? Does it suit your tastes?" She asked.

"It's delicious. I can see why you're so famous."

Earlier, Luke had brought her up to speed about why it was so difficult for a typical person to eat at that restaurant.

Shakira nodded satisfactorily. She paused for a bit and asked the question she had been dying to ask, "I'm curious, Bianca, how old are you?"

"I'll be turning twenty-four this year," Bianca answered truthfully, though she did not know why the middle-aged woman asked her that.

There was no reason to keep her age a secret.

"Twenty-four…" Shakira mumbled, seemingly lost in thought.

'Was it twenty-four years ago when Queenie bore her first child?' Shakira was not sure because it had been too long ago.

However, that child did not survive.

That was the lowest point in Queenie and Jack's lives. Shakira was Queenie's classmate and best friend, but she never asked Queenie how they lost the child.

After that, Queenie never bore a child.
