Chapter 1199
Chapter 1199 Bianca Was Not The Biggest Fan Of Family Love
"Norman Residence?" Bianca felt bitter when she thought of Jack's face.
Jack always had a stern face that was a little too serious whenever they were in the same room. Hismajestic gaze seems to be able to see through everything.
There was also Queenie, who was so fragile. Every time Bianca went to the Norman Residence, shehad to do all kinds of housework for Queenie to maintain the image of a good daughter.
Bianca hated all of this.
"Mm." Luke noticed her resistance and did not choose to accommodate her this time.
Bianca looked at the calmness on his face and felt slightly disappointed that he did not show anyempathy toward her.
Luke was not saying anything to help her out of this, which meant that she had to go.
Bianca was not happy about it but dared not express it. Too many things had happened recently. If itwere in the past, she could turn him down, but in the situation that she was in now, she could no longertake any risks that would cause Luke to dislike her even more.
She said, "I’ll go get ready." "Mm, we’ll wait for you downstairs." Luke turned to leave when he saw thatBianca agreed.
Bianca looked at him as he left. She was tightly clutching the door frame with her hand, and somesawdust had gotten into her nails.
Luke cared about her less as the days went by.
Bianca wandered downstairs half an hour later. Luke had finished breakfast and the kids were seatedaround the table, drinking juice.
"Luke, I'm ready." She walked over feebly.
Luke nodded and handed her a plate. "Have some breakfast before we head over."
Old Master Crawford, who was sitting on the chair, put down the newspaper and took off his readingglasses when he heard what Luke said. He said, "Luke, I have something for 01" Norman. Pass it tohim when you see him later." "What is it?" Luke asked.
"Mr. Griffin, please bring it to me," Old Master Crawford said.
When he heard that, the butler bowed slightly and left the dining room. After a while, he returned with abag in his hand.
"These are kolinsky sable paintbrushes. I heard that 01" Norman used to paint but stopped after yourmother-in-law fell sick. Send this to him.
Maybe he’ll have some use for it in the future.” Old Master Crawford took the bag from the butler andhanded it to Luke.
Bianca enjoyed her breakfast while listening to Old Master Crawford's words.
She was surprised that Old Master Crawford treated Jack so well. It seemed likely that as soon asQueenie recovered, Jack would return to politics.
However, none of these had anything to do with her. She did not want to be involved with anyone fromthe Norman family.
"I'll pass it to my father-in-law." Luke took the bag. It was heavy, so he placed it gently on the side.
The brushes were probably from Old Master Crawford's own collection.
It was intriguing that he decided to gift items from his precious collection to Jack.
After Bianca was done with breakfast, Luke drove her and the kids to Norman Residence.
They had informed Jack and Queenie in advance that they were visiting. When Luke arrived at theNorman Residence, Jack and Queenie were waiting for them in the living room.
In the past, Queenie would usually be resting in her room around this time.
Queenie smiled and waved at the kids. "Lanie, Rainie, Tommy, come here.
Come to Grandma."
The three walked to her.
"Grandma, good morning." The children greeted her in unison and looked at Jack. "Grandpa, goodmorning." "Good morning, my love." Queenie was overjoyed to see the kids. She lovingly rubbed theirheads.
Rainie was a sensitive and loving child. She asked, "Grandma, I heard from Daddy that you were justdischarged from the hospital. How are you feeling?" "I feel much better. All the pain is gone themoment I see all of you." Queenie could barely conceal her delight. She held Rainie's hand and said," Ihaven't seen you for a while. It seems that you've grown a lot taller."
When he heard this, Tommy raised his hand and said, "Grandma, I’ve grown taller too! If you don'tbelieve me, take a look! Soon, I’ll be taller than Rainie.
Queenie laughed with joy while talking with the kids. Her mood improved significantly.
Luke's eyes fell on Bianca, who stood next to him. She was carrying the gift bag Old Master Crawfordhad passed to them in her hand.
When she noticed Luke's gaze, Bianca said, "Dad, Mom, this is what Luke and I prepared for you."
She called out to them timidly. Queenie's eyes were moist.
"My dear girl... come. Come and sit with me." She waved to her.
When Bianca returned, she lost her memory and did not make any attempt to get close to Queenie andJack. Bianca was resistant whenever Queenie tried to bond with her.novelbin
Unfortunately, the gap in their relationship only grew bigger with time.
Since Leia was abroad, Queenie wanted to focus all her attention on
Bianca but Bianca did not want any of it. Eventually, Queenie's health got worse and she no longer hadthe energy to do anything to improve their relationship.
When Queenie heard her voice, tears filled her eyes. She felt like she owed Bianca.
Bianca felt awkward seeing Queenie's overflowing motherly love.
She grew up in an environment where her father and mother did not pay her any attention. She wasnever close with her family.
After she was brought to the Island of Despair, family love became more and more distant.
Bianca was not the biggest fan of family love, but unfortunately, she had to face Queenie.
She placed the bag on the coffee table and had a stiff smile on her face as she sat next to Queenie.
Queenie grabbed her hand as it was the first time Bianca was willing to be so close to her... She lookedat Bianca's frail face and said, "You've lost weight."
Bianca smiled.
If not because she was afraid Luke may be displeased, she would never have come here, nor wouldshe go along with Queenie's wishes.
"No, I'm fine," Bianca said as she pulled out her hand.
Queenie's hand was cold and she did not like it. To make it less obvious, she took Rainie's hand andsaid, "Luke treats me well, so I’ve started gaining some weight."
Rainie felt uncomfortable being held by her so she pulled out her hand and said with a smile,"Grandpa, Grandma, Lanie and I want to go to the garden to play." "Okay, go." Queenie nodded andfelt warmth as she looked at how lively and full of joy the kids were.
Rainie exchanged glances with Lanie and the two walked out.
Tommy followed along.
The four adults were left in the living room. Bianca felt uncomfortable being watched by Queenie andJack.
Luke sat down and passed the gift bag to Jack. "Father-in-law, these are the kolinsky sablepaintbrushes from Grandpa." "This..." Jack held the bag and felt the heavy contents in it. He knew thatOld Master Crawford had gifted him something precious
Luke added, "You used to be a wonderful painter but quit the art club to take care of Queenie when shefell ill. Many members still lament that they weren’t able to see your paintings. Now that Mother-in-law'shealth is getting better every day, Grandpa hopes that one day you’ll pick up this hobby again. This set
of kolinsky sable paintbrushes is a part of his collection but he believes that it's better off with someonewho knows how to appreciate it."
