Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3221

Luca understood Queenie's intention. Nodding, she said, “Okay, thank you, Mrs. Norman.”

“Have a seat for a bit. I'll go to the kitchen. We have some pasta at home, so it won't take long,” Queenie said with a smile on her face as she headed into the kitchen.

The maid placed a cup of floral tea in front of Luca. “Ms. Craw, you should visit more often.”

“Hmm?” Luca took the cup of tea, unsure of what the maid meant.

The maid explained, “Mrs. Norman has been smiling a lot from the moment you appeared.

“Mrs. Norman hasn’t been in a good mood because of Ms. Leia’s matter today. She's been kinda down and out, barely touching her lunch. But since you showed up, her mood's brightened a bunch.

"That's why I'm saying you've got to come around more often. It'll put a smile on Mrs. Norman's face.”

Luca sipped her tea and nodded. As people grew older, they cherished having children around. Such days were warm and full of hope.

The maid's words reminded Luca that she had been too busy lately, hardly paying attention to Queenie.

She felt guilty.

Ten minutes later, Queenie walked out of the kitchen with a steaming bowl of pasta. “The pasta is ready. Come, have a taste.”

Luca took the bowl from her and sat at the dining table. She saw the steak pieces on top of the pasta and smiled. “Mrs. Norman, this is too much for me.”

“It’s okay if you can't finish it all, but eat a little more.” Queenie gazed at her with tenderness. “You've lost weight again since we last met. You should eat more.”

Queenie sat across from her, her eyes full of affection.

Only Luca could divert her attention. That way, she would not think about Leia's troubles.

Remembering the maid's words about Queenie barely eating lunch, Luca said, “Really, this is too much. It's shameful to waste food. Mrs. Norman, why don't you join me?”

“Sure.” Queenie nodded with a smile.

Luca turned to the maid and said, “Could you please bring me a bowl?”

“Of course, Ms. Craw.” The maid went into the kitchen and soon returned with an empty bowl and another set of cutlery, placing them in front of Queenie.

Luca divided the noodles in the bowl in half.

“I don't need that much. I can't finish it,” Queenie said worriedly. If Luca gave her too much, it might not be enough to fill her up. She might be left hungry.

“Mrs. Norman, you didn't eat much today, right? You can definitely finish this.” Luca chuckled and placed a few steak pieces into the bowl.

Looking at both portions being about the same, Queenie shook her head helplessly. “I eat less, but I do eat. You're different. You’re always going hungry.”

“Don't worry about me being hungry. There are snacks in the car. I won't starve.” Luca pushed the bowl toward Queenie and placed the cutlery on top. “Have some.”

“Alright, alright." Queenie picked up the cutlery and ate with Luca.

She had cooked plenty of pasta. One bowl was enough for two people.

After finishing lunch, Luca leaned back in her chair, feeling satisfied. “Mrs. Norman, your pasta is yummy.”

“Come often. I'll cook for you.” Queenie was delighted to hear her praise. It was a daughter's affirmation of her mother.

Luca nodded. “Okay, I'll come by often. You'd better not go back on your word!”

“I'm happy to cook for you,” replied Queenie. Every mother wanted to do a little more for her daughter, and she was no exception.
