Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1228

Chapter 1228 Nothing Was Fated

Luca followed Queenie and walked to the sofa to sit down. She looked at Jack and Queenie, saying, "Mr. and Mrs. Norman, you can just callLuca. Ms. Luca sounds too formal."

Jack and Queenie glanced at each other. They both smiled gently. "Okay, Luca sounds nice. We want to be more casual too but were afraid that you would mind." "I don't mind," Luca answered almost immediately. She did not mind at all. When she decided to appear at Norman Residence, she was already prepared to be in contact with Jack and Queenie for the long term.

Hearing them call her Ms. Luca made her feel even more distant from them.

"Well, then you should call us Uncle Jack and Aunt Queenie." Queenie loved Luca’s sincere and gentle character.

"Uncle Jack and Aunt Queenie," Luca went along with Queenie's wish.

Queenie was overjoyed and quickly poured her a cup of tea as she said," I'm sure you’re exhausted from the journey here. Come, have a cup of tea to warm your stomach."

Luca was not tired from the car ride as Luke's car was comfortable. She was, however, tired from doing experiments.

She took the cup of tea from Queenie and thanked her.

Jack’s gaze carried a hint of appreciation when he saw her sipping the tea slowly, unlike the others who rushed to finish it in a gulp. He was happy to have met someone who knew how to enjoy his first-rate tea.

After Luca finished the cup of tea, she felt as though her exhaustion was nearly gone.

Sure enough, it was top-shelf tea. Jack was a fan of good tea, so the tea he brewed for guests was excellent. She felt satisfied after drinking it.

Jack noticed the satisfaction in Luca's eyes and asked her, "Do you enjoy drinking tea too?" "Yes, I do." Luca nodded, and as soon as she put down the teacup, Queenie poured another cup for her.

Queenie did not do that because Bianca was her savior but because she liked her very much. She thought of the first tthey met and how she had felt inexplicably close to Luca. Their interaction brought her a lot of joy.

"If you like it, drink as much as you want," she said.

Luca was supportive. To prove that she did not say what she did because she was apple-polishing, she picked up her cup again, took a sip, and then put it down. "There are three flavors in this tea. Different flavors are brought out when the tea is drunk at different temperatures-hot, warm, and cold."

Jack shot her a complimentary look. "Sure enough, you're someone who values and knows tea."

Luca smiled.

After she heard what Luca said, Queenie asked curiously, "Luke said that you cfrom Russia. I've always thought that tea wasn't a big thing in Russia. Luca, who did you learn your tea-tasting skills from?"

Luca replied, “I learned from a tea shop owner who cfrom a family of tea lovers. He has unique insights into tea tasting." "That's interesting." Jack nodded, waved his hand, and said, "The tea is warm now. Would you like to take a sip?"

Luca nodded, took a sip from her cup, and said, "Compared to when the tea is hot, there's a hint of astringency, but the tea is still fragrant." "When the tea cools, the astringency will be stronger." Jack

nodded, and his admiration for her grew.

Queenie sat on the sofa bed as a smile appeared on her face. She listened to the two of them talk about tea. They got along so well that others would not believe it was only their second tmeeting. If someone said that they were father and daughter, it was likely that others would believe it.

Jack had always been stern and was rarely so gentle and friendly with youngsters he did not know personally.

Queenie knew that he was not acting like this only because Luca saved her life; it was also because they got along well.

Jack rarely bonded with someone else like this. They had so much to talk about just on the topic of tea.

"I'm going to try it when it has cooled down." Luca put the teacup aside and waited for the tea to cool.

Queenie covered her mouth and smiled when she saw how the two shared the slove for tea. She said, ‘Luke said that you just started working at Watson Biopharmaceuticals, right? It feels like we were fated to meet. We bumped into each other and now... You and Jack share the sinterest."

She could not drink strong tea because of her health, so Jack always lamented that he was missing a tea buddy.

"Yeah, it's all fate." Luca smiled as she listened to Queenie's words. However, she felt a little guilty.

Nothing was fated. All these were just coincidences created by her.

Queenie sighed seeing the shy smile on her delicate face. She thought that Luca was good-looking and good-natured.

They chatted a little more.

Queenie also asked about Luca's family. Luca told her the background story that Abel made up for her.

Listening to her past, Queenie sighed and said, "You're an excellent woman.

Luca smiled shyly. She was not excellent because everything that she said was made-up. If she had the choice, she would choose her previous simple life. She was insignificant and ordinary in the streets of A City but she had all of Luke's love.

About half an hour later, Luca heard the maid of Norman Residence say," Master, Madam, Master Luke is here."

Luca glanced sideways and noticed Luke walking in. He looked a little tired.

"Luke, you're here." Queenie stood up and greeted him eagerly.

"Mm.’ Luke had two bags in his hands. He walked over, and his gaze fell on Luca. "Dr. Craw, you're here." "Hello, Mr. Crawford." Luca nodded slightly.

Luke looked away, and his gaze fell on Jack and Queenie. He said, "I passed by the gift shop and the boss said that he stocked sfine tea and imported fruits. I bought sfor you."

He put the bags on the coffee table.

Aside from alcohol, Jack also loved tea. When he learned that Luke bought these, Jack could not hide his joy. "We still have a lot of the tea that you gave us last time. Are you expectingto only drink tea?"

Queenie echoed, "Yes, Luke, don't spend so much on us next time. We’re more than happy just to have you visit us."

Luke sat on the other sofa and explained why he bought the gifts. "In the future, there'll be more people visiting and the tea will be finished quickly. Father-in-law, you don't need to worry. The doctor said that Queenie is weak and has to be careful with what she eats but since her body is gradually recovering, she can enjoy these imported fruits. Isn't that right, Dr. Craw?"

Luca spaced out and only snapped out of it when she heard her nmentioned. She nodded and said, "Yes, the fruits will be great for your health."

Queenie listened to them, and the arc of her smile grew wider and wider." You..."
