Chapter 931 Bianca Was Happy
"I’ll go to the kitchen to help." Luke kissed Bianca's cheek lightly and walked to the kitchen with two bottles of wine.
"Okay." Bianca smiled slightly, her gaze following him to the kitchen before she withdrew it.
Queenie was initially a little frustrated at Luke because of Bianca's injury but seeing this tender scene, her dissatisfaction gradually subsided.
Sometimes, hits and bumps were inevitable. As long as Luke treated Bianca well and she was happy, she could feel assured as her mother.
"Bea, come and help me arrange the flowers?” Queenie put a black porcelain vase in front of her.
Bianca nodded, trimmed a perfume lily, put it into the porcelain vase. She gave it some nutrients.
She had not gone for any flower arrangement classes but she was so talented that it looked good even when she just intuitively arranged them.
Bianca put in a bunch of gypsophila as an embellishment. She glanced at Queenie and slowly said, "Mom, was there anything specific that you wanted to talk about today?"
Queenie smiled softly and shook her head. "It's not me, it's your father who wants to talk to Luke."
Bianca looked at the kitchen from a certain distance and was not sure what the two men were talking about.
She gave it some thought.
Leia came down from the second floor. When she saw Bianca, she was taken aback and frowned in disgust.
Bianca was arranging flowers with Queenie, and they looked like a happy mother-and-daughter duo.
Leia was screaming at Bianca in her heart, 'Who is she to pretend to be well -behaved and virtuous?'
Leia thought that everything Bianca did was malicious. She was angry and planned to leave without paying her any attention. Queenie saw that Leia was all dressed up and asked, "Leia, we’re going to eat soon. Where are you going?"
Leia stopped, took off her sunglasses, and said, "Mom, I have plans..."
Queenie frowned and replied, "Leia, can you reschedule your plans? Your sister and brother-in-law are here today. Let’s have a meal together as a family."
She knew that Leia had always been hostile toward Bianca.
Queenie was trying her best to ease their relationship.
When Leia heard that Luke was here, she was happy but scared. She clutched her coat tightly. If she stayed, she did not know what would happen to her, so she pretended to be embarrassed. "Mom, I..." "Leia, you haven't eaten at home for a long time. It's rare for our family to get together, so have a meal with us, alright?" Queenie was upset, thinking that Leia did not want to stay because of Bianca.
Leia felt irritated seeing how uncomfortable Queenie looked.
If Jack saw her, he might blame it on Leia.
Jack was no longer patient and kind with her. She thought it was because of Bianca. 'His real daughter came back, so I no longer matter to him.’
The more Leia thought about it, the angrier she was at Bianca. Everything in the Norman family belonged to her!
She walked over and sat next to Queenie. "Mom, I’ll delay my plans, but I have to go out for about half an hour, okay?"
Queenie felt better and held her hand. "Okay, go and come back quickly." "Okay, Mom." Leia smiled and kissed Queenie on the cheek, aiming to show her dominance and provoke Bianca.
Even though Jack treated her a lot more coldly these days, she still had Queenie.
Since Queenie reunited with Bianca, she was afraid that Leia would have misunderstandings, so she tried her best to be fair and treated Leia just as well as before.
Therefore, as long as she still had Queenie's motherly love, Jack could not do anything to her no matter how indifferent he was to her.
Leia stood up and glanced at Bianca. She was arranging flowers beside her mother with a neutral expression.
Leia snorted inwardly and left with her coat in her hands.
Bianca glanced at Leia's back as she departed. When she was gone, Bianca asked Queenie, "Mom, doesn't Leia feel hot?"
The weather was getting warmer but Leia was wearing a thick coat as though she was terribly cold.
Queenie replied, "After coming out of that place, Leia's body seemed to be doing much worse. She’d feel cold even when there’s a little wind. She’s been wearing thick clothes for a while now and whenever I ask her to see the doctor, she’ll say that she’s okay. Sigh, it could be that her body is weak.
I got her a lot of supplements but they don’t seem to be working." "But..." Bianca wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's the matter?" Queenie picked up Bianca's flower arrangement and admired it.
She was proud of her baby girl-even her style of arranging flowers was the same as her own.
Bianca shook her head, smiled, and replied, "Nothing."
She thought that Leia's face was a little rounder than she remembered.
How could a person in poor health gain weight?
The more Bianca thought about it, the weirder she found it.
Queenie held her flower arrangement up and praised Bianca, Bea, your arrangement is beautiful. I’ll put it in the living room for everyone to see."
Bianca's face turned red from the praise. She picked up Queenie's flower arrangement and replied, "It’s nothing compared to your flower arrangements. Yours is layered, and the colors are harmonious and beautiful. They look professionally done! Mom, why don't you teach me?"
Queenie learned flower arranging after marrying Jack to be able to jive with his social circle. Over the years, she had mastered this skill. She fiddled with the flowers on the coffee table and said, "We happen to have some extra flowers. I’ll teach you now, pick a vase." "Okay." Bianca sat closer to Queenie. She picked a sky blue porcelain vase and humbly learned from Queenie.
In the kitchen.
Luke handed the two bottles of red wine to Jack as he said, "Father-in-law, I heard that you're a fan of wine tasting. These two bottles of wine were brought back from a foreign auction some time ago.
They're for you."
Jack was very pleased that Luke understood the way of life and how to treat others.
The two bottles of wine dispelled part of his dissatisfaction. This belongs to - ©.
Jack kept his face straight and asked in a fake serious tone, "You’re well aware that this could be considered a bribe?"
Luke shook his head. There was no doubt that Jack and Bianca were related. Even their responses were the same.
"This is a gift to my father-in-law, it doesn't count." He put the two bottles of wine in the wine cabinet.
Jack was dealing with lobsters and asked when he saw Luke rolling up his sleeves, "Are you going to help?" "Yeah." He chose a black apron and replied, "You’re cooking for Mother-in- law and Bea. I want to cook for them too."
Jack handed him the unwashed vegetables for the salad and said, "I appreciate the thought. Here, you can clean these vegetables."
Luke took over, stood in front of the sink, and said, "Jack, did you ask Queenie to call Bea?"
Although it was a question, his tone was firm. Jack appreciated Luke even more. He nodded and said, "Yes."
It was impressive that Luke could guess it just from a phone call.
Jack said straightforwardly, "Although Bea said she’s okay, the netizens are still in a rage and there are even reporters camping in front of your villa. What are you going to do?"
He was Bianca's father, so of course, he cared deeply about how she was doing.
"This matter will be resolved in two days." Luke carefully washed the vegetables. He remembered that Bianca could not eat seafood and wanted to make her some dishes with eggs and lean meat.
