Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 672

Jack was not surprised by Queenie's decision.

Even if she did not mention it, he would discuss it with her some time soon anyway. They needed to be reunited with their birth daughter.

Jack sighed and said, "I'd love to be reunited with our daughter too. A few days ago, I met Bianca at Bay Town. It hurts to see her right in front of me, but I can't get any closer to her, and it… breaks my heart to see her so thin and haggard."

Queenie washed her hands with the tap next to the easel, then returned to her rattan chair and massaged her neck. "I don't think I can wait any longer, Jack. We should go to visit the Crawfords this weekend, tell them the truth, and reunite with our birth daughter!"

She had chronic cervical spondylosis. If she lowered her head for extended periods, she would suffer from intense sharp pain in her neck.

Seeing what his wife was doing, Jack took off his coat, placed it on the rack, and began to massage Queenie's neck and shoulders.

To alleviate his wife's pain, Jack had learned physiotherapy techniques during his free time from a renowned physiotherapist. No one had expected the exalted Mr. Norman to do that for his wife.

Queenie knew that her husband loved her. Over the years, she had returned his love.

That was why their marriage lasted.

While Jack massaged Queenie, he said, "You should paint less so you wouldn't be bothered by neck pain so often. Moreover, you have sensitive skin, and there are many chemicals in oil paints that can cause allergies. Have you forgotten about that time when you had to be rushed to the hospital because you stayed up all night painting?"

He reprimanded Queenie.

Queenie smiled nonchalantly when she was reminded of that embarrassing episode. "That's already so long ago. Why are you mentioning it? Oil paints nowadays have far less harmful chemicals than before, and the risk is negligible. Painting is my favorite hobby and quitting it is impossible. I'd give up my business before I give up painting."

Queenie majored in oil painting in college, and Jack knew how much she loved painting. The first time he met her, she was sitting among the bushes painting flowers. Her elegant demeanor and the lifelike painting made him fall in love with her at first sight.

After she graduated, Queenie never stopped painting, even though she became a businesswoman. She had entered her works in various international exhibitions and had gotten gold awards on multiple occasions. Her works were highly sought after by collectors and art institutions both in and out of the country.

Queenie Ziegler was an influential name in the artists' circles of A City.

Her fame also brought her trouble. Many people sought to commission her for huge sums of money, and some people even tried to give her bribes under the pretense of commissioning her. Queenie had declined such offers, and Jack had declared that any illicit deals made under the pretense of art would be severely punished.

True to Jack's word, several bribers had been arrested and punished this way. Eventually, those schemers gave up on the idea after seeing that nothing would sway their principles.

Jack continued to knead Queenie's shoulders. "Our daughter has inherited your artistic talents. I've never seen her paintings, but I've seen her house design for Father. Father is a picky person, and many renowned designers could not satisfy him, except for Bianca. I think that our daughter is a truly talented designer."

Queenie nodded in agreement. "Of course. Even if our daughter might not be the best, she would still be considered one of the best. Do you know why I want to fetch our daughter back from the Crawford family?"
