Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2339

Queenie was still hesitant because after what Luca had done for their family, they should be the ones thanking her.

Now, it was the other way around, which was inappropriate.

After noticing Queenie’s hesitation, Luca said, “Aunt Queenie, this is just a token of appreciation. You know there’s no hidden meaning to it. Since it’s New Year’s, I wanted to gift you two some things to show my gratitude.”

Nina also said, “She’s right, Aunt Queenie. If it makes you uncomfortable, you can just gift Luca an envelope with money when the new year is here.”

Queenie looked at Luca with her lips slightly open as she nodded. “Okay. Thank you, Luca.”

“You’re welcome, Aunt Queenie.” Luca smiled faintly after Queenie accepted the gifts.

Queenie saw that Luca was not angry in the slightest bit. She even gifted her a whole bunch of things. It would be rude of her to continue dwelling on what had happened yesterday.

Her heart softened after seeing Luca’s smiling face as if the bitterness in her heart that was caused by Leia had been washed away.

After dinner, Luca and Nina both helped Queenie with the bags as they went to the underground parking lot of the mall. Then, they sent Queenie to her car and watched her leave.

Nina looked at her face and said thoughtfully, “Luca, you seem to care a lot about Aunt Queenie.”

“Is that so? Perhaps it’s because Aunt Queenie reminds me of my mother who suffered a lot to raise me.” Luca smiled.

“Your mother is amazing.” Nina’s eyes grew gloomy when she mentioned her mother. Other mothers could do such things for their children, yet her mother…

“It’s getting late. Did you drive here?” Luca asked.

Nina shook her head. “No, I came in the driver’s car, but I knew I was going to have dinner here, so I let him go back first. I have to inform him to pick me up now.”

“No need to go through so much trouble. Just take my car. I’ll go home after sending you back,” said Luca as she estimated Percy’s mansion to be quite far from the mall.

She was not comfortable letting Nina wait here.

Although the Mallory family now believed that Nina was Old Master Crawford’s goddaughter, there was no guarantee that they would not have something up their sleeve.

“Sure.” Nina liked Luca’s company, so she did not refuse.

Warren drove up in front of them and got down from the car to open the door for them.

Luca and Nina got into the car.

When Warren sat back in the driver’s seat, Luca said, “Let’s send Percy’s girlfriend home first.”

“Yes, Ms. Craw.” Warren did not ask them for the address as he had driven Luke there before, so he knew where Percy’s home was.

After dropping Nina off, Warren then sent Luca home.

…

It was nighttime.

Queenie glanced at the clock on the wall to see that it was already 10 o’clock.

Half an hour ago, Jack called to say that his meeting had ended and he was rushing home.

Queenie guessed that he was almost home, so she stood up and walked into the kitchen to make supper for Jack.

She made soup with some vegetables and meat.
