Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 850

Leia was dressed in a pure white sleeveless scalloped dress with a round neckline and a tapered waistline. She had light makeup on, and that made her look like an innocent young woman. She seemed quite docile, just like the character she always portrayed back when she was an actress.

Her right hand was holding Old Mrs. Norman's arm, while her left was holding two big shopping bags. She was whispering something to her grandmother.

Old Mrs. Norman was giggling happily. Wrinkles appeared on her well-maintained face.

"Grandma," Bianca stood up from her seat and greeted Old Mrs. Norman. She held a grape in her hand.

The sweetness that had lingered in her mouth suddenly became tasteless.

Old Mrs. Norman reflexively turned to the voice that had greeted her. She was visibly surprised when she saw Bianca, and the joyous expression on her face reduced by a little. "It's you, Bianca. Why did you come here when it's so warm outside?"

She was not fond of that granddaughter, even though the DNA test had conclusively proved that Bianca was biologically related to her.

Firstly, the old woman showered her love on Leia, who had lived in the Norman residence since she was a young girl.

Secondly, Bianca was not a meek woman, and she had embarrassed the Normans publicly several times before she was reunited with her birth parents. Moreover, Bianca did not suck up to her grandmother, and Old Mrs. Norman could not find any reason to like her.

Thirdly, even though Bianca was reunited with the Normans, she insisted on being a Rayne instead of changing her surname.

Those were the reasons why Old Mrs. Norman was not fond of Bianca.

Bianca knew that her grandmother was not fond of her, and she was not going to play up to her whims.

Whenever she came to visit her grandfather, she would greet her grandmother and nothing more.

Old Mr. Norman was unhappy that his wife treated his granddaughter that way. He had told his wife multiple times in private that she should not be so cold toward Bianca, but she never changed, which made him helpless.

Considering that it was rare that Bianca visited him, Old Mr. Norman told his wife with a long face, "So what if she's here? Can't she come to her grandparents' house? Bea's considerate enough to bring me two bottles of herbal liqueur too. Why, you're her grandmother, yet you don't welcome her?"

"That's not what I said! You misunderstand me, old man!" Old Mrs. Norman replied sheepishly. She did not say another word, but her expression toward Bianca became even more unpleasant.

Seeing that Old Mrs. Norman was aggrieved, Leia tried to speak up for her grandmother. "You've misunderstood Grandma's words, Grandpa. She's saying that it's warm outside, and she's worried that Bianca might have a heatstroke… isn't that so, Bianca?" She said gently.

Bianca gave a side-eye to Leia. "It is indeed quite warm outside. If you can bring Grandma shopping despite the heat, then I shouldn't neglect my other grandparent."

She looked at the bags with luxury brand logos that Leia held. Her implication was obvious.

Leia's smile froze on her face. "Grandma hasn't gone out for a walk for a long time! She needs the exercise. It's not good for her to stay at home for too long."

Bianca chuckled. "You're so considerate, Leia."
