Female Novel
Chapter 1849
Staying Together
"Young Masters, Young Miss, Ms. Craw, please get into the car." Zander got down from the car andopened the door of the backseat.
Lanie knew that the backseat had limited space, so he took the initiative and sat in the front passengerseat. He opened the front car door and got inside.
Both his younger brother and sister loved staying close to their mother. Hence, as the elder brother, hewas very mature and offered his seat to them so that they could be more comfortable.
After they had all entered the car, Zander returned to the driver's seat.
Luca said, "Uncle Zander, please drive us to a nearby mall first. I want to buy something."
Since they were about to attend Jack and Queenie's wedding anniversary, she naturally should notattend empty-handed. She planned to get them some accessories as a gift.
She would be doing the things Bianca used to do with her current identity as Luca.
While Zander was putting on his seatbelt, he explained with a smile, "Ms. Craw, you don't have toprepare anything because Young Master has already prepared it."
"He has prepared it?" Luca was astonished because earlier, Luke only called her to inform her of thearrangement. She thought that he only thought of it at the eleventh hour or it was Jack who informedthem at the last minute. She did not expect him to have already made preparations.
"Yes. The presents for both elders have been prepared," said Zander.
Luca nodded and explained, "Those are his gifts for them, but he didn't prepare my gifts for them."
"He has prepared them as well. Young Master has prepared two sets of presents," Zander explained. Itwas not a difficult thing for Luke to prepare presents. Besides, Luke was rich. Even if the shops wereclosed, all he need to do was say a word and the staff would open the shops for him.
Luca did not expect Luke to have everything arranged despite it being at the last minute. He had evenprepared two sets of presents.
She did not ask what presents they were as she knew he would have gotten others to chooseappropriate gifts.
Luca did not say another word and nodded her head. Zander started driving the car.novelbin
On the other hand.
In the Norman family's household.
Initially, Jack wanted to surprise Queenie. He had long ago hired a chef and the employees from ahotel to decorate the house.
After seeing that the decorations were up and the food was almost prepared, he walked out and waitedfor Queenie's return.
He had just received the driver's message stating that they were at the last traffic light from the houseand would soon be back.
After approximately five minutes, the car came to a halt at the entrance.
Jack knew Queenie loved banquets. Hence, he opened the car door, looked at the person in the carwith a smile, and said, "Come out of the car, dear."
Queenie returned to her senses and looked at Jack, who was outside of the car. She felt tears wellingup in her eyes.
The moment she saw Luca walking into the villa, she was instantly sure that she was together withLuke. She could no longer remain calm.
Queenie lifted her head and felt lost as she glanced at Jack.
"What's wrong?" Jack knew the reason for the expression on her face, but he still acted as if he wasnot aware of the reason. He showed concern for her.
"Jack, I found out something..." Queenie muttered softly. She still could not accept the fact.
"We'll talk once you're out of the car," said Jack.
Queenie came back to her senses. The driver was still in the car, and if word of this were to spread, itwould do no good to Luke and Bianca.
She nodded, and when she got out of the car, her expression was utterly awful.
Jack frowned when he saw her in such a state. He went ahead to support her. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Queenie shook her head. She staggered and nearly tripped.
Jack quickly came to support her. "Careful."
Queenie nodded and followed him into the house. She noticed the hall was meticulously decorated, butshe was not in the mood to admire the view. All that was in her mind was the issue of Luke and Luca’srelationship.
She wanted to tell Jack and have him settle the issue.
Even though Bianca had willingly gone abroad, Queenie could not accept her daughter's husbandbeing snatched by another woman, even if she was indebted to that woman.
Jack knew Queenie had something to say. Hence, he helped her to the bedroom. With his help,Queenie slowly sat on the sofa. She looked at Jack with her red eyes.
"What happened to you?" Jack asked.
"Do you know that Luke brought the kids with him and moved out of Crawford Manor?" Queenie asked.
"I had no idea." Jack did not say anything. If he were to say he knew about it, she would certainlyblame him for not telling her.
Currently, the most important thing was to ensure that Queenie’s mood was stable.
"I don't know when he brought the kids with him and left Crawford Manor. He’seven staying with Lucanow," Queenie said while tears came streaming down.
Clearly, it was not Jack who betrayed her, yet Queenie still felt upset. She simply thought that herdaughter was living a hard life.
When Bianca was young, she was brought away by Allison to a poor family and was brought up bythem. She never got the chance to enjoy motherly love and was often being bullied by her stepmother.
It was not easy for her and Luke to end up together, but she was kidnapped and even went throughthose miserable experiences. She then lost her memories, and finally, she went abroad to further herstudies and planned to improve herself so she would be a better match for Luke.
At this moment, however, another woman had appeared by Luke's side. If Bianca, who was abroad,were to know about this, she definitely would not be able to accept it.
"How do you know she's together with Luke?" Jack took out a piece of tissue. When the driver sent himthe location, he knew that Queenie just wanted to clarify whether or not Luca was together with Luke.
Hence, he made these arrangements.
"She entered the villa where Luke is staying, and that villa has no units for rent. Enoch has alsochecked it. There's no news about Luca renting a house. You said that she moved in, so doesn't thatmean she's staying with the kids and Luke?" Queenie said.
"Did you misunderstand something? She has always been close to the kids. It's normal if sheoccasionally visits them. It shouldn't be a problem, right?" Jack was trying his best to get rid ofQueenie's suspicion.
Queenie shook her head. "How is that possible? For two days straight..."
Jack did not expect Enoch to be so capable that he made Queenie become suspicious about therelationship between Luca and Luke once again.
He planned to continue comforting her, but the servant came knocking on the bedroom door. "Mr.Norman, Mrs. Norman, Ms. Luca has brought your grandchildren here."
Queenie looked at Jack, astonished. "You invited Luca?"
"No. Recently, I've noticed that you're upset. I arranged for the kids to come over and celebrate ouranniversary. I told Luke about it." Jack shook his head. In truth, he did not tell anyone about it in thebeginning, but it seemed that this was the only way to get rid of Queenie's suspicion.
"Then about Luca and the kids."
"Why don't we head down? Then we'll find out everything," Jack said.
Queenie nodded her head and wiped away her tears. Noticing that her eyes were red, she put somemakeup on her face. After looking like her usual self, she headed downstairs with Jack.
Upon arriving at the first floor, they saw that the three kids had come upstairs and had even broughtpresents along. They said their wishes with a smile, "Grandpa, Grandma, we wish that you two willalways be in love!"
