Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402 No Wonder Queenie and Bianca Are Mother and Daughter!

Leia's expression turned unpleasant when she heard Bianca's laughter. 'Did I say something wrong?'

Ever since she was adopted into the Norman family, she had gone to an elite school and even studied abroad for two years.

She did not believe that Bianca was anything more than a philistine!

Leia was not interested in art since she was young, but her mother was a big fan. She forced herself to read up on art history so that she could humor her mother.

However, she would begin to fall asleep as soon as she opened a book and read about the boring theories and the lives of famous artists. Eventually, she gave up and instead tried to please her mother with other activities she was good at.

Leia stole a glance at Luke.

The man sat on his chair elegantly. He was straight like a pine tree, and his silence was imposing.

However, his demeanor changed as he filled up Bianca's plate.

His penetrating gaze would turn gentle, and the corners of his lips would inadvertently curl up with an indulgent smile.

Leia's heart felt as though it had been clawed by a wildcat; bloody, itchy, and painful.

She lowered her gaze dejectedly.

Allison could not bear to see her son ignoring Leia.

Earlier, when Leia was confidently showing her knowledge about the painting, her impression of Leia became better. She did not know that what she said was wrong.

Allison placed a scallop in Leia's bowl and started praising her again. "See, that's a cultured overseas graduate for you. Leia is more knowledgeable than certain country bumpkins who have never seen the world. I'm sure that some people here don't know how to tell a genuine piece of art from a phony, let alone appreciate art! Don't you think so too, Father?"

Allison did not name any names, but she was glancing at Bianca disdainfully. Her mockery was evident.

Old Master Crawford's expression instantly sank. He slammed his cutlery on the table and frowned hard. "If you don't know anything, can you shut up? You're embarrassing me!"

Allison did not know that Old Master Crawford had a passion for art history when he was young. He had studied in France for several years and majored in art. He met his wife there, and they returned to the country to start a business.

He had not dabbled in art since, but he retained what he learned.

Monet was one of his favorite impressionist painters, and he had collected several of Monet's works. Leia tried to show off her knowledge but failed miserably, and that had changed Old Master Crawford's impression of her.

He thought that Leia was knowledgeable and talented, but he realized that she did not know anything at all.

His favorable opinion of her instantly vanished.

"Did I misspeak, Father?” Allison retorted in the face of Old Master Crawford's irritation.

Bianca calmly interjected, "Aunt Allison, Monet is not English but French.

Also, he is an impressionist painter and not a realist."

Allison wanted to laugh at Bianca. What would country bumpkins know about art?
