Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 986

When Leia heard that, she quickly fell on her knees. She had to keep the baby no matter what! "I don't want to lose the baby, Dad. I love the baby! Don't you want it to call you 'Grandfather' after it's born?"

Jack was finally moved, but it was not because of Leia's words.

He knew how it felt to lose one's child. Even though Bianca eventually returned to their side, they had lost a lot of time with her, and the regret lasted forever.

He decided to wash his hands of the matter.

"You can keep the child, but the child has to have a father," Jack said. That was as much as he was willing to concede.

Leia was overjoyed. With their support, she believed that she could convince the elders in the Hilton family. "I'll let Brody know so that he can come over and have a meal with us."

"Tell him not to bring any gifts. We can't afford to accept them," Jack said coldly.

"Yes." Leia could not be bothered about everything else. She instantly took out her phone and called Brody.

Bianca breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the issue was settled without too much chaos or violence.

After the call, Leia smiled cheerfully. "Brody will come later. He promised that he will be respectful this time."

Among all the people in the living room, she was the only one smiling.

Queenie looked at her daughter's stomach. The baby was saved, but she could not smile. Her emotions were gloomier than ever.

Leia had always been her pride and joy. She did not know why Leia had been bringing anger and shame to their family recently.

Was it the right decision to adopt her from the orphanage? Queenie sank into deep thought.

Knowing that Brody would be coming soon, Bianca excused herself without having lunch at the Norman residence.

She brought Tommy to a restaurant.

"Mommy, why aren't we having lunch at Grandma's house?" Tommy asked. He was looking forward to Queenie's meatloaf, but they left the house before eating.

Bianca patted Tommy's head. She did not answer his question but instead said, "Then why did you sneak upstairs to get Grandpa?"

"I hate Aunt Leia's crying." Tommy pretended to cover his ears. He had gone upstairs to look for his grandfather because Leia's crying irritated him.

Bianca smiled and pinched Tommy's face. If Tommy had not done that, the matter would not have been resolved so quickly.

Queenie could not accept the fact that Leia was pregnant with Brody's child, but at the same time, she did not want Leia to abort it either. She would not be able to find a solution.

Jack was the only way out of the dilemma.

"I miss Grandma's cooking, Mommy," Tommy said coyly.

Bianca poured a glass of milk for him. She understood how the boy felt. "Grandma is busy today, and she can't cook for you. You want to eat meatloaf, right?"

"Mm." Tommy nodded.

"Let's order some meatloaf then. If you can't finish it, we'll bring it home for dinner," Bianca said. She summoned the waiter and made another order.

Tommy seemed a lot happier. "Mommy, when will Daddy be back?" He asked with a smile.
