Chapter 219
Chapter 219 He Wants Her to Make That Important Life Decision
After the waiters served all the dishes, they left the private restaurant room.
The restaurant’s service was personalized. The owner did not believe that the customer was always right, and it was up to her if she wanted to serve those that cthrough the doors.
Her customers were either regulars or those whose personalities and mannerisms were to the owner's satisfaction. Of course, they had to be able to afford the food there too. Anyone rude or boorish would not be able to taste the spectacular food of that restaurant.
Shakira Neile, the owner, had a temperamental character. She had offended many people in her career, especially the nouveau riche who had money but no manners.
She could afford to offend those people. Her husband and son were influential VIPs.
Bianca took a few bites and turned to feed Rainie, who was clinging onto her and causing her heart to melt out of tenderness. Even if Rainie threw a tantrum and did not want to eat the delicious food served on the table, she would ditch Luke and Lanie so that she could go hand cook for her.
"You should eat this too, Miss Bea. It's sweet!" Rainie mumbled as she chewed the food in her mouth and stared at Bianca with her big eyes.
Bianca smiled. With her fingers, she wiped away ssauce on one corner of Rainie's mouth.
The female restaurant owner cinto the room once more.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuke was taken aback. It was not appropriate for outsiders to step into the room when the family was having a meal.
Shakira coughed gently. She knew that it was abrupt for her to intrude upon the family's mealtime, and it was not her usual style to impose her seniority upon others.
However, she could not hold back her curiosity when Bianca's face reminded her of a younger Queenie!
Shakira pulled a chair, sat down casually, and looked at Bianca. "How is the food, Bianca? Does it suit your tastes?" She asked.
"It's delicious. I can see why you're so famous."
Earlier, Luke had brought her up to speed about why it was so difficult for a typical person to eat at that restaurant.
Shakira nodded satisfactorily. She paused for a bit and asked the question she had been dying to ask, "I'm curious, Bianca, how old are you?" "I'll be turning twenty-four this year," Bianca answered truthfully, though she did not know why the middle-aged woman asked her that.
There was no reason to keep her age a secret.
"Twenty-four..." Shakira mumbled, seemingly lost in thought.
'Was it twenty-four years ago when Queenie bore her first child?' Shakira was not sure because it had been too long ago.
However, that child did not survive.
That was the lowest point in Queenie and Jack's lives. Shakira was Queenie's classmate and best friend, but she never asked Queenie how they lost the child.
After that, Queenie never bore a child.
Jack cfrom an illustrious family with a political background. The elders could not tolerate not having an heir.
Shakira did not know how the matter was eventually resolved. However, she heard later that Jack admitted to his parents that he had becinfertile. The lack of a child had nothing to do with his wife.
Shakira had been classmates with Queenie since elementary school. She knew about Queenie's pregnancy. On the day that Queenie found out that she was pregnant, they even went to the hospital together to confirm it.
When Jack found out that his fiancee was pregnant, he started making preparations for the wedding, even moving forward the wedding day that the family had decided for him.
After the marriage, Queenie and Jack left for overseas.
After that, her child was gone. She dared not ask if the child was stillborn or miscarried.
Queenie had never been pregnant after that.
When she looked at Bianca's face, Shakira could not help but wonder if Queenie had given birth to the child, but the child was abducted.
'Is Bianca Queenie's child?'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile thinking about the matter in the kitchen, Shakira did not believe that there would be such a coincidence. However, she remembered a news report she saw on TV a few days ago -- A young man accidentally found out that he was very fond of spicy food, but his parents were from the north of the country and had never eaten spicy food. On a whim, he decided to investigate his background and found out that he was adopted...
If there could be such a coincidence, then there was a slim chance that Bianca might be Queenie's child. Shakira thought that she would not be able to sleep if she did not ask the question.
Queenie was her best friend and confidant. She could not bear to see Queenie suffer. Perhaps Queenie's life would be complete if she could be reunited with her birth daughter.
"Aunt Neile?" Luke could not help but open his mouth when he saw the scene.
"Ah?" Shakira cto her senses. She paused for a while and smiled sheepishly. "You should know how critical your mother can be, Luke. Even if Bianca is the two children's birth mother, I don't suppose your mother can look at them with her diamond-encrusted eyes."
The people in the room, including Luke, Bianca, and even the two children knew Allison's personality very well.
However, Allison was never an obstacle between Luke and Bianca.
If Bianca wanted it, no one else could sway Luke's decision to claim her as his woman.
Shakira looked at Bianca again. "Pardon me, Bianca. I'm not saying that you're not a match for Luke, but Luke's mother isn't someone you can afford to cross. I thought that you might be too nice, and that's why Allison Tanner might not be fond of you. Can I ask you another thing, Bianca? What do your parents do?"
That was the real question that Shakira wanted to ask.
She had to preface with another question so that she did not seem too intrusive.
At that moment, what Shakira hoped that Bianca would say was, "I'm an orphan. I don't know who my parents are."
If that were the case, there would be a possibility that Bianca was Queenie's birth daughter. The chance might be extremely slim, but there was hope nonetheless.
Luke looked at Bianca, concerned that Bianca might feel awkward. He was about to make up an excuse when Bianca replied, "My father is a menial worker. As for my mother, I've never seen her before..."
