Chapter 1202 Caught
Queenie heard what he said and fell into a daze.
'Yes, this was the path that Leia chose. However, if I had paid more attention to her, she might not have embarked on this path.'
Bianca stood aside, watching indifferently. The night was her best cover, and no one noticed the mockery in her gaze.
She realized that there was a reason why she did not like Queenie.
In addition to the indifference she felt for her blood-related family, she thought that Queenie was too soft and kind. Someone like Leia had Queenie easily wrapped around her fingers.
If it were her...
The mockery in Bianca's gaze grew stronger. 'If I cried in front of her, would she cry to Luke on my behalf?1
Luke said, "Mother-in-law, we’re heading off now." "Okay, drive safe." Queenie turned around in a daze and walked back to the house.
Looking at her desolate figure, Luke bent over and sat in the passenger seat with a cold expression.
Bianca sat in the driver's seat and drove back to Crawford Manor.
After getting out of the car, the kids walked into the living room while Bianca sat in the driver's seat looking at Luke, who was leaning against the car door with his eyes closed.
Although he could handle his alcohol, he had drunk a lot with Jack and was likely drunk.
"Luke, aren’t you going to help her?" Bianca asked cautiously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I'm already helping her." Luke opened his eyes and unbuckled his seat belt. "I assthat Queenie asked you to help convince Jack?" "Mm, I didn't agree. I'm afraid that you and Dad will be upset," Bianca said in an aggrieved tone and hinted at him about her cautiousness.
"Leia being abroad is for the best, especially for the Norman family,” Luke opened the door and got out of the car.
Bianca followed him and got out of the car as well.
She asked, "I don't remember anything about Leia. Is she a bad person?" "You have amnesia. Don't think about it if you don't remember her. As long as it involves Leia, stay away," Luke said.
"Okay." Seeing him walking toward the manor, Bianca followed him and walked by his side.
Luke staggered, and when she tried to support him, he stood firm and took a step forward.
Bianca was taken aback and said, "Luke, you drank a lot tonight. You should rest in the master bedroom. If you feel unwell in the middle of the night, I can take care of you."
If it were in the past, she would have other intentions for inviting him to the master bedroom.
However, at this moment, Bianca did not have any ulterior motives. After all, she did not want him to know about the wounds on her body. She invited him to the master bedroom so that he could get a good rest and to give him a good impression.
"I still have swork to attend to, you should go get srest." As usual, Luke turned her down.
Although it was not a direct rejection, Bianca knew what it meant.
Even if she stayed up for Luke, he would not be going into the master bedroom.
At night.
After Tommy showered, he video-called Luca.
Luca quickly answered. As she looked at Tommy, who was on the other side of the screen, her gaze bectender. She put the documents aside. She said, "Tommy, it's so late. Why are you still awake?" "Ms. Luca, I just got home." Tommy smiled and was happy to see her.
Luca raised her eyebrows and replied, "Oh? Why did you get hso late?
Where did you go?" "We went to Grandma's house!" Tommy said, "The chef at my grandmother's house made a lot of yummy food for us. Everyone was so happy. Daddy even drank a lot of wine with Grandpa."
He babbled as if doing a daily report, and Luca got a lot of information from him.
She asked, "Really? What did the chef make?"
Tommy thought about it for a while and did not answer her question.
Instead, he fawned over her and said, "She cooked a lot of food, but they're not as delicious as your cooking.”
Luca smiled and shook her head.
"How's your Grandma doing?" she continued to ask about the things that she cared about.
If she guessed correctly, Queenie should be taking the concoction that she prepared for her. Since there was no news, she assumed it meant that Queenie’s body was recovering well.
"Grandma's health..." Tommy shook his head and continued talking, "I don't know, but Grandma looks better and doesn't wear as many layers of clothes as before."
In the past, he never understood why Queenie was so different from them.
When he was in short sleeves, Queenie would be wearing multiple layers of long-sleeved clothing.
"That's good to hear." Luca sighed. If she could, she wanted to see Queenie in person and check on her.
"Why did your father drink so much?" she asked.
"Grandpa was in a good mood, so he drank with Daddy. Ms. Luca, isn't it bad to drink alcohol?" Tommy asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"A small amount of alcohol is fine and can improve your mood, but drinking too much would harm the body," Luca said softly.
"Daddy used to drink a lot, so he’s in bad health," Tommy muttered.
"What about now?" Luca's heart ached when she heard that Luke paid no attention to taking care of himself in the past.
'Did he start drinking heavily because of my disappearance?’ "He doesn't drink much now!" Tommy said with a grin, "Ms. Luca, don't worry. I'll keep watch of Daddy and make sure that he doesn't drink too often."
Luca thought what he said was a little weird but could not tell what was weird.
She glanced at the tand said, "It's late. Let’s go to bed?" "Okay, Ms. Luca!" Tommy blew a kiss to the camera and winked playfully.
Luca was not sure how to react but noticed that his hair was still wet. She said, "Blow dry your hair before you go to bed. Otherwise, you'll get a headache tomorrow."
Tommy nodded and said, "Ms. Luca, you're so sweet, just like my mother used to be."
Before Bianca disappeared, she would wash and dry his hair for him.
When his mother’s gentle hands fiddled with his hair, he would be cheeky and tell her that he wanted a hairstyle that made him look handsome.
Luca reminisced, smiled, and said, "Okay, you should get srest now.
Good night." "Good night, Ms. Luca." Tommy ended the call reluctantly.
He still wanted to talk to her, but Luca said that he was not allowed to go to bed too late. If he went to bed too late, she would not pick up his call the next day.
Tommy listened to her every word and went to sleep.
After the video call ended, Luca exhaled slightly.
She felt a little thirsty, so she stood up and opened the door, only to find that Amur was standing in the doorway.
"Amur?" Luca looked at him suspiciously. "What's the matter?" "I heard snoises in your bedroom, so..." Amur was curious about who she was calling so he wanted to eavesdrop, but he did not expect to be caught. He was too focused and did not hear her footsteps.
