Female Novel
Chapter 2339
As he listened to Queenie's chatter, Jack picked up the shirt and put it on. "It's not only the right size,but it's also the right color and style. I'll wear this on the first day of the new year!"
Queenie noticed how happy Jack seemed.
Leia had also bought a lot of clothes for the two of them before.
Jack would always react calmly to Leia's gifts. He had never been so happy as when he received giftsfrom Luca.
Luca was better at picking clothes than Leia. The size, style, and color of the clothes she bought weresuitable for their age. However, at this moment, Jack looked as happy as a father receiving a carefullyselected gift from his daughter.
Jack carefully put his clothes on the sofa, picked up the other set of clothes, and placed it on Queenie."Mm, they're perfect for you. This color is so festive. It's suitable to wear during the new year. We'llwear these on the first day of the new year."
"Okay, you can do whatever you want." Queenie went along with his wishes. "Dear, it's the first timeI've seen you so happy to receive a gift."
"It's a well-thought-out gift." Jack wanted to put the clothes back into the bag. He tried to fold them butcould not. He looked at Queenie for help.
"This kind of thing isn't something that a high-ranking official like you would do. I'll do it," Queenie saidwith a smile.
"I have an idea." Jack looked at Queenie, who was folding the clothes. Over the years, Queenie hadtaken care of everything in the house.
Without Queenie, his devoted better half, he would not have been able to dedicate himself to servingthe people wholeheartedly.
"What do you have in mind?" Queenie folded their clothes with a wide smile on her face. She then putthem aside and looked at him.
Jack took her hand, brought her to the sofa to sit, and said slowly, "What do you think about havingLuca over for a couple of days for the new year?"
"You want to have her stay here? I don't think that's the best idea..." Queenie frowned. She never hadsomeone other than her own family over to celebrate the new year.
"What's wrong with that? She won't be here for long, just a day or two. Besides, we have plenty ofguest rooms. It's tough being alone in a foreign country. She's helped our family. What does it mattereven if she comes and stays with us for a few days?" Jack said. He had been thinking about havingLuca come
over and spend the new year with them.
"Even so, how do you know if Luca will agree?" Queenie asked. Although she did not agreeimmediately, she was tempted.
She thought that it was a great proposal.
"We can just invite her. Besides, there are only two of us at home for this New Year's. Won't it be niceto have Luca come over to celebrate it with us?" Jack said.
Luca would be alone for New Year's too. He also wanted to have his daughter by his side during thefestivities.
That was why he thought of asking her over.
"That's a good idea, but it's late now. I'll ask Luca in a few days." Queenie nodded and agreed with hisproposal.
Jack believed that Luca would agree.
The fact that she bought them so many gifts before the new year meant that she was thinking aboutthem. However, for some special reasons, she could not acknowledge them as their parents.
As such, she would agree without a second thought if there was a chance for them to celebrate thenew year together.
After they were done talking about Luca, Queenie asked, "By the way, when will you arrange for Leia toget back to the VIP ward?"
The nurse who took care of Leia told her about how Leia had been throwing her temper after shemoved to the normal ward downstairs.
Within three hours, she made things difficult for the nurse twice, lost her temper twice, and eventhreatened to go on a hunger strike.
Queenie knew that she could not soften her heart immediately. When she knew that Leia was upset,she did not call to check in or go to the hospital.
She knew that if she went soft-hearted, Jack's plans would be in vain. Leia had to learn her lesson thistime.
Therefore, Queenie intended to listen to Jack and be crueler. She believed that it would benefit Leia aswell.
The smile on Jack's face sank when he heard Leia's name.
He was in a good mood because of Luca, but it turned sour when Leia was mentioned.
"Okay, don't be angry. Leia did something wrong, but she's being punished now. Don't hurt yourself bybeing angry." Queenie knew that he was in a bad mood and immediately comforted him softly.
"She didn't receive the punishment she deserved. She just moved wards to the hepatobiliarydepartment. Is that considered punishment?" Jack asked.
When normal people were sick, saw a doctor, and were hospitalized, they were all admitted to thecorresponding departments.
Leia was not staying in the VIP ward now, but she was still living a good life in the ordinary ward.
It was normal, after all.
"Yes, yes, it's not a punishment. She's spoiled, so she's now making a fuss." Queenie stroked Jack'sback lightly, hoping that he would calm down.
"Who does she think she is? The things she did almost dragged my name through the mud! Althoughpublic opinion is now against Leia, one day, they might say that I'm a terrible father. I'm making her stayin the normal ward to let her know that although she's my daughter, I'm an ordinary person. Sheshouldn't expect special treatment. Don't be soft-hearted. If this goes on, Leia's good as done." Jackhad a stern expression as he looked at Queenie.
She had always been soft-hearted.
If her stance was not firm enough, Leia would cry in front of her in hopes of returning to the VIP ward.
As such, Jack warned her again.
"Okay, I know..." Queenie felt helpless. It seemed that Leia could not return to the VIP ward.
It was not because Jack was angry.
It was because Leia and Dexter made such a scene that it put the spotlight on the entire Normanfamily.
Although Jack held a high position, he had always been low-key in his conduct. The car he drove wasonly a hundred thousand dollars.
The villa they were staying in was bought by Jack's parents as a gift to them.
They lived ordinary lives and were far from being luxurious.
Jack spent most on wine. Even so, he had never accepted fine wine from others. Jack lived an honestlife.
As such, for so many years, others had been unable to find blackmail material on him.
After Leia made such a scene, it would be detrimental to Jack if others decided to use that incidentagainst him.
It would bring about a lot of unnecessary trouble.novelbin
That was why Jack was so angry that he transferred Leia to the normal ward.
"You mustn't be soft-hearted. Half of her life is already over. I want her to realize that life will neveralways go her way. She got her liver and is given a new chance at life, but there's no point if shecontinues to live like this for the rest of her life." Jack looked at Queenie seriously.
