Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 736

Leia's gaze discomfited Bianca, but she did not think too much of it.

After all, Leia had never seen eye to eye with her, especially after she had reunited with her birth mother.

She had taught Leia a lesson several times, which kept her attitude in check.

However, she wondered if she was seeing things. She thought that Leia had lost a lot of weight recently, and her beautiful hair that used to be her pride had become a lot thinner. Her animated gaze was sunken, hollow, and unfocused, as though she was a migratory bird that had lost her way.

Leia flashed an unnerving grin when she saw Bianca.

Bianca shuddered and turned her head away. She looked at the black jar next to Queenie.

She could catch a whiff of something fragrant emanating from the jar. "Are you pickling something, Mom? It smells quite good."

"Your dad loves pickles, and so I'm pickling some radishes and gherkins for him. I'll give you and Luke some when it's ready. Do you like pickles too, Tommy?" Queenie said lovingly.

Tommy hugged Queenie's neck and said adorably, "I love anything you make, Grandma!"

"You precocious cutie!"

Queenie was delighted by Tommy's words. She gave her grandson a few kisses.

However, she frowned when she noticed the presents next to Bianca's feet. "Bea, I've told you that you don't need to bring anything whenever you come. Why don't you ever listen? We don't need anything. All we hope is that you come back often with the kids."

Bianca picked up the presents and smiled gently. "I know that you and Dad aren't short of anything, Mom, but it's not the same when your daughter gives you presents, isn't it? Also, I always feel guilty whenever I think that I used to be busy with work and don't have the time to accompany the two of you..."

"Have you always been this stubborn, my child?" Queenie shook her head helplessly and went inside the house with Tommy in her arms.

Bianca followed behind, carrying the presents.

In the living room, Tommy tugged his grandmother's arm and said precociously, "I'm already a big boy now, Grandma. You should put me down because you might be tired after carrying me. I can sit on the couch."

"Alright, alright, whatever you say, my baby." Queenie smiled indulgently and placed Tommy on the couch. "I'll go to the bedroom and bring you a present. Wait for me for a while."

"Okay!"

Right after Queenie went away, the doorbell rang. The caretaker went to open the door and saw two police officers, one male and one female, standing outside.

"Is this the residence of Leia Norman?" The female police officer asked.

The caretaker was flustered, though she nodded. "Yes, this is the Norman residence. Do you have any business with Ms. Leia?"

The male police officer flashed his badge and said, "We're from the A City Headquarters. We've received an anonymous tip that Ms. Leia Norman is involved in illegal drug usage and possession, and we would like to bring her back for an investigation."

The caretaker was confused and shocked. "What did you say? Ms. Leia is involved in drug possession? How… how is that possible?"
