Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3224

However, Leia had no talent for cooking at all. She never even attended the cooking classes she was signed up for.

When Queenie tried to teach her, she could not stick with it and often complained about the heavy kitchen smoke being bad for her skin. After that, she refused to go back in.

Thus, Queenie’s wish to have Leia help out in the kitchen and create a warm mother-daughter cooking experience never came true.

Fortunately, their beloved daughter had returned.

Luca felt someone watching them from behind. When she turned around, she saw it was Jack. She smiled sweetly and said, “Mr. Norman, hurry up and wash your hands. Dinner’s almost ready.”

“Alright, alright,” Jack responded quickly. This was his precious daughter, the one who truly inherited the best of him and Queenie.

Seeing the joy on Jack’s face, Queenie's smile widened as well. “Luca, if Mr. Norman’s colleagues saw him like this, they’d be shocked.”

“Why?” Luca asked, puzzled.

“Unless he’s with the public, Mr. Norman usually has a stern face. I’ve told him before that he might scare people off with that expression. Do you know what he said?” Queenie started sharing stories about Jack.

Luca was curious. “What did he say?”

“He said his job is to serve the public, not to smile at people who don’t deserve it. He believes he should only show kindness to the public and remain stern with others to make sure they take their work seriously and don’t slack off,” replied Queenie as she smiled with pursed lips.

Luca let out a chuckle.

Jack was the epitome of a traditional strict father, especially with his military background. It made sense for him to be serious.

However, most leaders nowadays tried to be approachable and friendly to appear likable.

Still, Jack was one of the rare ones who maintained a stern demeanor, which could be intimidating when he did not put on a smile.

However, as long as he was dedicated to his work, it was a good approach. Luca agreed with Queenie that his seriousness ensured his subordinates worked diligently for the public.

Jack, having washed his hands, heard the laughter from the kitchen. He could not help but walk into the kitchen and ask, “What’s so funny here?”

“We were talking about you.” Queenie was in a good mood and started joking with him.

Jack maintained a serious expression. “No joking about the boss.”

“Boss, we’re at home now. It’s okay to joke a little. Don’t worry, I won’t tease you in public,” Queenie teased him as she picked up a bowl of soup to take outside. Jack took it from her. “Let me handle that.”

“Wow, the boss is helping out at home now too,” teased Queenie.

Jack’s face turned red. He usually stayed out of the kitchen since he could not cook and did not want to get in the way. Plus, he was often busy with work, so Queenie never asked him to help.

“Give me some credit.” Jack cleared his throat.

Queenie picked up a dish that Luca had just cooked and said in a lighthearted tone, “Everyone knows you can’t cook. There’s no need for credit here.”

Jack, feeling a bit embarrassed, let out a soft cough. The maid walked in, saw the cheerful atmosphere, and smiled contentedly.

Luca truly was the Norman family's lucky star. Ever since she arrived, the entire atmosphere of Norman Residence changed.
