Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1552

“She’s not ‘that woman,’ she’s Luca. If you’re not comfortable calling her Luca, you can call her Dr. Craw,” Queenie said, frowning because of Leia’s lack of manners.

Leia did not notice the change in Queenie’s expression. She continued, “Didn’t she cover during the day? Why is she here for dinner? Did she cover to steal the things from our house?”

Queenie was becoming irritated by what Leia said.

Steal their things? Luca was not like that.

That was what she thought in her mind, but she did not say that.

Seeing her mother not saying anything, Leia hugged Queenie’s hand and said eagerly, “Don’t blame me for being concerned, Mom. Sometimes, you have to assthe worst when dealing with outsiders like her. Dad’s a very successful politician, and our hhas many precious items. Also, you only have two daughters…”

Queenie pulled her hand away and said, “Alright. The macaroni’s almost done. Go and wash your hands. You should go to bed after you eat.”

Leia could tell that Queenie was not interested in that topic. She continued, “Mom, you haven’t told me why she’s here.”

Queenie explained, “Luke brought her here. He said he wanted her to take my pulse and check on my condition.”

“Take your pulse? When she cover earlier, she didn’t take your pulse. Now that Luke invited her again and she’s here, can’t you tell that she must have an ulterior motive?” Leia said while washing her hands.

Queenie poured the macaroni into a bowl. “Supper’s ready.”

“You have to listen to me, Mom. Luke’s a charming man, and so many women wish that they could take over Bianca’s position. I’m sure that woman is either eyeing Luke’s riches or the things in our home… Didn’t you notice? She’s a hit with Luke’s children. They call her ‘Ms. Luca.’ Who knows if she tells them to call her ‘Mommy’ when no one’s around?” Leia said, not perturbed by the hot macaroni in her mouth.

When she was in her room earlier, she had heard the children call Luca “Ms. Luca” in such a friendly manner. She guessed that Luca was about the sage as her, but she had to be “Aunt Leia” instead.

Those words left a mark on Queenie’s mind.

She thought of what happened earlier and realized that Luca was indeed quite close to Luke’s children. Not only did they call her “Ms. Luca,” but Tommy had also asked her to fill his plate.

She knew that the three children usually kept a polite distance from strangers. However, they seemed to be too close to Luca.

She could not help but overthink.

Was it because Luca and the children had interacted many times? Otherwise, the children would have behaved differently.

Also, Queenie thought that Luca was a little too patient toward the children.

If she had not kept a distance from Luke, other people might suspect that they were married, and she was the mother of the three children…

‘No… Luke is Bianca’s husband, and Lanie, Rainie, and Tommy are Bianca’s children. I’ll have to warn Luke regardless of Luca’s intentions.

‘She did save my life, but that doesn’t mean she can replace my daughter…

‘These two matters are separate.’

Leia was observing her mother quietly while she slurped her supper. She was quite happy that her words seemed to have stirred something in Queenie’s mind…

‘Does that Luca think she can get close to Mom? No chance!’

If she could make Queenie suspect something, she could ensure Luca would never step into the Norman residence again.

Leia smirked, but she remembered seeing Luca dressed in that gown.

Back when she was still an actress, she wanted a silk gown for red carpet events. She had her eye on Queenie’s silk gown. It was white with embroidered pink gardenias, and it was perfect for her pure image…

She had asked Queenie to lend her the gown, but Queenie had refused to lend it to her.

The reason was simple: Queenie’s mother had hired a renowned tailor to hand-sew the gown for her. Queenie had never worn it because of its sentimental value.

Leia had to hire another tailor to rush another gown for the event.

Queenie did not wear the gown, and she did not want to lend it to Leia, yet she had given it to Luca so readily…

It was not about the gown anymore. Leia believed that Queenie was playing favorites again…

After supper, before the food had settled in her stomach, Queenie urged Leia to go upstairs again.

While Leia walked past the playroom, she leaned close to the door, but she heard nothing. She pouted, went back to her room, and closed the door.

Luca opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. ‘The person earlier should be Leia…’

She shook her head and closed her eyes again.

Queenie did the dishes and went upstairs to the master bedroom. Jack had just settled down on the bed when he saw his wife cin. “Did Leia throw a tantrum again?”

“No. She’s just hungry. I cooked ssupper for her.” Queenie knew that Jack was not too fond of Leia, so she did not say much.

“She’s still like that. Didn’t you prepare srations in the room for her?” Jack shook his head. When Queenie knew that Luke was coming for dinner, she had prepared a loaf of bread and other snacks for Leia.

“She’s not used to eating that. Also, it’s raining heavily now. I can understand if she wants to eat something hot.” Queenie sat in front of the vanity and applied moisturizer to her face. Leia’s words continued to ring in her mind.

Jack yawned and prepared to lie down.

Queenie continued, “Jack, don’t you think that Luke’s children are a little too close to Luca?”

Jack thought for a while and nodded. “That’s true. Luca is quite good-looking. She might seem quite aloof, but she has a good character. It’s normal that the kids are friendly toward her.”

Luke’s three children were quite intelligent. They could read a person’s character well.

For example, they were not close to Leia, but they were close to Luca. One could easily tell who between the two had the better character.

Queenie turned around and looked at Jack. “Yes, she’s a good girl, but I’m worried that she has some ulterior motive…”

“What ulterior motive could she have?” Jack chuckled. He thought that his wife was overthinking.

Queenie stared at him intently. How could he not know?

Jack chuckled for a while and realized that his wife was serious. Soon, he understood what she meant…
