Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 984

Leia was surprised by what Queenie said.

When she divulged everything that day, Queenie felt sorry for her and said that she would not want Leia to suffer anymore. Leia had already treated that as an approval to their relationship.

"Mom…" Leia stood up, sat next to Queenie, and refilled her teacup. "Have you forgotten what you said that day?"

Queenie sighed. She thought that Leia was more intelligent than that, so why did she behave as though she had been hypnotized? Back then, Queenie did not know Brody's character, but things were different now.

She knew of Brody's character after the investigation, and she had changed her mind since then. However, she did not tell Leia about that because she knew that Leia would not want to hear an opposing opinion.

Before she could say anything, Brody spoke, "Mrs. Norman, I only want to marry Leia."

Bianca, who was playing with Tommy, turned her head together with Queenie and looked at Brody.

"Mr. Hilton, we're not a wealthy family. Leia's father is only a government worker, and we can't compare to your family. In terms of status, I don't think Leia is a match for you, and I'm surprised that for someone who emphasizes one's wealth, you'd want to marry her and no one else." Queenie frowned. She did not want to tell him so directly that she objected to their marriage, but he had mentioned it first.

Her tone of voice was gentle but resolutely firm.

Leia finally understood what Queenie had been saying, and that made her angry. She thought that her mother was being difficult because she did not appreciate Brody showing off, but it turned out that she objected to their marriage!

Brody also finally knew Queenie's intentions. He was not angry, but instead, he smiled. "Are you objecting to our marriage, Mrs. Norman?"

Queenie could sense Leia's unease and patted the back of her hand. "Mr. Hilton, you have to understand that marriage is not child's play. Not every family can be blissful because of money alone. Leia needs a loving husband and not a rich one."

She did not think that Leia would be happy being married to Brody.

Leia bit her lower lip. Why would her mother say that? Why would she make that decision on her behalf? She shot a glance at the young man next to him.

Brody could see that Leia was aggrieved. He could not believe that the Norman family would reject an outstanding man like him.

He looked down upon the Norman family. Why would a mere politician receiving a fixed salary be so arrogant?

"Do you think so too, Ms. Rayne?" He asked.

Bianca was surprised by the question. She had tried to make herself invisible, but Brody involved her in the conversation anyway.

She shook her head and said, "I don't have any thoughts on the matter. This is between the two of you."

She knew that no one in the household would be able to change the outcome. Leia was furious because Bianca might as well have not said anything.

"How about this? I'll tell you something, then you can decide if I get to marry Leia." Brody stood up and towered over Queenie as though making an important announcement. "Leia is already pregnant with my child. If you continue to object to the marriage, I can choose to walk away, and Leia would be the one at a disadvantage."

Brody might be his grandmother's favorite, but he had conducted an investigation on his father without his grandmother and mother's knowledge. He found out that his father had many extramarital relationships, and he needed a child to secure his position in the family.

Leia was already far into her pregnancy, and the baby could not be aborted. The only way was to induce labor.

Even if he did not marry Leia, he would take the baby away after it was delivered. If the Normans wanted the baby, he was prepared to fight them legally. He would like to see if the Normans wanted their reputation or the baby more.

Queenie stood up in shock and instantly felt her head spin. She held onto the couch and looked at Leia. "Is that true, Leia?"
