Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 982

Bianca did not know what to say when she saw Queenie sigh. She turned around and played with Tommy.

If she had known that Leia was bringing Brody home, she would not have come.

Jack held Queenie's hand. "We'll see what happens."

Queenie nodded, though she remained dejected. "I think we owe Leia a lot, Jack."

Leia was already at the suitable age for marriage, but Jack and Queenie did not make arrangements for her. If they had found her a suitable significant other, Old Mrs. Norman would not have introduced her to Brody, and none of that would have happened.

Jack rubbed the back of Queenie's hand and was somewhat at a loss. He knew that Queenie was very protective of Leia, and he wondered what she would think if she found out what Leia had done.

The living room fell silent. Seeing that her parents were fretting over Leia, Bianca felt bad for them.

She was not jealous that Leia received the bigger proportion of their parents' love, but she felt helpless that Leia did not appreciate what they had done for her. Bianca thought that it was not worth it for Queenie to be sad.

After all, Leia would not be grateful.

The caretaker came over and refilled the teacups. "Sir, Madam, Ms. Bianca, Ms. Leia and Mr. Hilton are here."

The three people looked toward the front gate when they heard that.

It was almost summer, but Leia was dressed in a loose jacket. Bianca had not met her for a while, and she noticed that Leia's face was plumper, not to mention other obvious signs of pregnancy. She hugged Brody's arm as she stepped through the door.

"Dad, Mom. Why are you here, Bianca?" The smile on Leia's face froze for a while when she saw Bianca. Her arms gripped Brody's arm slightly more tightly when she remembered the interest that Brody had shown her elder sister.

"It's the weekend, and I'm here to visit my parents. Greet your aunt, Tommy," Bianca said and reminded Tommy.

Tommy was not very fond of Leia. Even so, he did what his mother told him to. "Good afternoon, Aunt Leia," he said while playing with his toy.

Leia removed her sunglasses and brought Brody next to the couch. "Dad, Mom, this is Brody, my boyfriend," she said coyly.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Norman. I hope you'll appreciate my little gift for you." Brody thought that the Normans were not as wealthy as the Hiltons. He was not too polite when he spoke.

Jack's face was stern as he picked up his teacup and examined the gift in Brody's hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Hilton. You can take these gifts back," Jack said. He was not going to accept the cigarettes and liquor.

Brody was instantly unhappy. He stood there and towered over Jack. "Are they not good enough for you, Mr. Norman? My parents bought these from overseas. You won't find them in the country."

Queenie was more sensitive. She felt a little uneasy when hearing Brody's arrogant tone of voice.

Her gentle expression sank a little. "You're mistaken, Mr. Hilton. It's not that they're not good enough for us, but you'll have to remember Mr. Norman's status. He cannot accept gifts that are too expensive."

Brody felt a little awkward after hearing that. He should have known to be a little more careful when giving gifts to a politician.

He looked at Leia and blamed her, "Why didn't you remind me?"

Leia was at a loss for an explanation. She knew about her father's status, but she had deliberately requested those expensive presents to show her parents that her boyfriend was not in any way inferior to Bianca's significant other.

She became increasingly embarrassed as everyone in the living room looked at her. If she did not say anything, the other people might think that she was being rude. "It's the thought that counts."

When Bianca heard that, she thought that Luke was a more sensible person.
