Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 646

Chapter 646 A Mother's Love

Leia hid away her animosity, then walked up and leaned against Queenie.

"I'm back, Mom. Do we have a guest?" "Aunt Queenie..." Charmaine called out weakly behind Leia.

Even the usually wanton Charmaine had to behave in front of the noble Queenie.

Queenie frowned when she saw Leia and the other young woman in heavy makeup.

She was not fond of Leia making friends with women like Charmaine. She felt that Charmaine had passed on many bad habits to Leia.

However, considering that Leia and Charmaine were good friends, Queenie nodded at Charmaine and said gently to Leia, "My company needs to hire a new batch of architects, and I love Bea's designs. That's why I invited her over to talk about work."

Leia's gaze fell on Queenie's hand that was holding Bianca's hand. She was unhappy when she saw that.

Bianca happened to notice Leia's gaze that was filled with hatred and resentment.

Seeing that, Bianca smiled gently at Leia, though there was a hint of provocation in that smile.

Usually, she would not have done that, but she was quite willing to see the conceited Leia being angered.

As expected, Leia pretended to be unbothered, but the jealousy and frigidity in her gaze were obvious.

Bianca could only find it incredibly ironic. Queenie was Bianca's birth mother, and for so many years, Leia had taken what should have belonged to Bianca. What gave Leia the right to glare at Bianca that

way? Why should Bianca allow Leia to occupy her position in the Norman family?

If Leia had a better personality, Bianca did not mind staying away from the

Normans. However, Leia was a scheming and sinister woman, and she was afraid that her birth parents might be spending their tand effort raising an ingrate. Worse yet, Leia might actively harm them.

Queenie did not notice the tense undercurrents that flowed between the two young women.

She pulled Leia in front of Bianca and said lovingly, "Leia, Bea is a really talented woman. She's older than you, and you should greet her as your elder sister. Once the collaboration is confirmed, Ms. Rayne will cto our house often, and the two of you will meet each other more often. You need to be on good terms with Elder Sister, alright? I know that you're prejudiced against Bea because of Luke, but you can't force Luke to love you, and it's already in the past. One day you'll understand what I mean."

To Queenie, her adoptive daughter might have made a mistake, but that was maybe because she was impulsive. Queenie believed that Leia was still the kind and innocent girl that she knew.

However, her sentiments for Bianca were different. She felt joy, pity, excitement, and guilt, and she hoped that she could make up for lost time.

She genuinely loved both the girls, and she hoped that she could give her everything to the two.

Bianca would eventually return to the Norman household.

Currently, she hoped that she could bridge the relationship between her birth and adoptive daughters. She knew that Leia must be bearing a grudge against Bianca because of Luke, but she believed that Leia would eventually understand.

She hoped to see her two daughters live together harmoniously.

Leia was unhappy about that.

She did not show her true feelings on her face. Instead, she nodded. "Mm, I understand, Mom."

Queenie was happy that Leia showed ssense. She smiled at Bianca," I've pampered Leia too much, Bea. She might be capricious at times, and she might be candid in her words, but she's not a bad girl." "We'll see about that, Aunt Queenie," Bianca smiled ambiguously and said profoundly.

It seemed that Queenie, as intelligent and discerning as she was, had not seen through Leia's guise yet. It would be up to Bianca to tear away Leia's pretentious fagade.

Queenie glanced at her watch. "It's getting late, and I should prepare lunch for all of you. Let's go downstairs, Bea. Leia, bring Elder Sister for a stroll around the garden later."

She took Bianca's hand as though it was the most natural thing and went downstairs.

Other than Luke, no one had held her hand like that ever since she was a grown-up. Queenie was protecting her with her arm as though leading the way for a small child. Bianca felt warmth in her heart.

'Is this how a mother's love should feel?'

Bianca could feel tears welling up in her eyes.

Leia was extremely unhappy when she saw her mother holding Bianca's hand and ignoring herself.

Ever since she grew up, Queenie had rarely held her hand.

Overcby jealousy, Leia deliberately twisted her ankle and fell down in front of Queenie. "Ow!" "What happened to you, Leia?" Queenie instantly let go of Bianca and rushed ahead to help Leia up.

Charmaine could not help but grin. 'Leia is such a schemer,' she thought.

Leia looked at Queenie with puppy eyes. "I was thinking of something earlier, and I didn't notice where I was going. I'm so silly."

Queenie propped Leia up and shook her head dearly when she saw that Leia had scraped her knee. "You're as clumsy as you were when you're a child. You always makeworry."

She crouched down and gently massaged Leia's bruise.

Leia shot a demonstrative gaze at Bianca, as though saying, "See, Mom still loves me. Don’t ever think of taking her away from me."

Bianca had the urge to laugh out loud when she saw how childish Leia was. She could not bear to hurt herself in an effort to one-up someone else.

Leia's fall was genuine. Her knee was swollen and red.

Moscow.

After dealing with Gordan's incident, Luke rejected Ray's offer to tour the city, reprimanded Gordan once more, and prepared to catch the return flight.

The drive to the airport from Ray's residence was more than three hours.

They had to pass through a steep and winding mountain range.

The off-road vehicle sped on the narrow asphalt road, passing by ancient trees that grew out of cracks on the mountain wall.

The branches were dense, and the canopy was like clouds that blocked the sky.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

"It's dangerous here, Mr. Crawford. We should speed up!" Mallory One, sitting next to Luke, could feel his body tense up.

Mallory One was one of Percy's elite bodyguards. Percy had loaned him to Luke on his trip to Russia.

His incisive intuition and experience told him that their surroundings were full of danger.

Luke nodded, and his expression becstern. "Yes, we should move faster and reach the airport as soon as possible."

He took out his phone and planned to give Bianca a call.

In the past two days, he was so busy that he barely had the tto sleep, let alone call or message her. If he did not call her, he would expect that she would be angry at him.

He dialed Bianca's number, but the call was rejected.

Luke smiled helplessly. She was angry.

He continued to call her number, but the call was declined every time. Eventually, the other party turned off her phone.

While Luke was dialing Jason’s number, a bullet pierced the car windshield and headed straight at his skull!
