Chapter 981 Leia Is Pregnant
Bianca brought the framed five-foot-long cross-stitch into the living room. Queenie quickly went forwardand helped her, "That's so heavy! Why didn't you get the caretaker to help you?"
After they put the cross-stitch on the couch, Bianca smiled and said, "It's not very heavy, Mom. Where'sDad?" "He knows that Tommy is coming, and he's messing around with something in the study."Queenie bent slightly and patted Tommy's head.
"Good morning, Grandma!" Tommy greeted Queenie.
"Good morning! You're a good boy, Tommy!" Queenie looked at her grandson lovingly. She grabbed ahandful of candy on the coffee table and stuffed them in Tommy's hands.
All children loved candy, including Tommy. He held the candy in his hands and said sweetly, "Thankyou, Grandma! I love you the most!" "Do you love Grandpa then?" Jack said as he walked down thestairs. He heard what Tommy said earlier.
Tommy turned his head to look at Jack and nodded. "I love you too, Grandpa!"
Jack was happy as he looked at Tommy’s adorable face. He patted the little boy's head and handedhim a toy.
"I made this for you. Do you like it?"
Tommy opened his eyes wide and stared at the whirligig in his grandfather's hands. "What's that,Grandpa?" "It's a whirligig. You play it like this." Jack demonstrated it to Tommy, then put it in his hands.
Tommy put all the candy into his pocket and started playing with the toy.
Jack felt quite accomplished when he saw that Tommy was having fun with it.
Bianca said, "It must be tiring to make that, Dad. You should have rested instead."
She heard from Queenie that Jack was involved in a large-scale cityplanning project recently. The dailymeetings lasted until eleven o'clock at night.
Jack's health was already past his prime. Bianca did not want him to spend his time messing aroundwith toys instead of resting during his free time.
Jack shook his head. He was satisfied seeing that Tommy was happy. "It's no big deal. Is it fun,Tommy?" "Yes, Grandpa, you're the best!" Tommy gestured a thumbs-up at Jack.
Bianca patted Tommy's head, seeing how happy he was. "What do you say when you receive apresent?" "Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Grandma." Tommy was having fun with his new toy.
Jack smiled and patted Tommy's head too. "Where's Lanie and Rainie?
Also, why isn't Luke here too?" "Rainie is in her ballet class, and Lanie is in his German class. Luke ison a business trip to handle some sudden company matters," Bianca replied. She pointed to the cross-stitch and said, "Aunt Wanda has a present for you, Dad. She made it herself. Do you want to hang itup?" "Galloping horses? Not bad. Please thank Wanda on my behalf." Jack glanced around the livingroom and said decisively, "Let's hang it on this wall. It's been missing something. What do you think,Queenie?"
Queenie smiled. "I think that's a good idea." "I'll get the caretaker to hang it up later." Jack decided.
"Mm." Bianca smiled gently when she saw that her parents loved the present.
Jack's position in the local government made it hard for him to accept gifts. The cross-stitch wasperfect; it was not too expensive, and at the same time it suited his tastes.
"Come and sit over here, Bea. I have something to ask you." Jack pointed at the couch next to his.
Queenie knew what he wanted to ask, so she sat down on the other side.
Bianca saw that her parents seemed serious. She carried Tommy and sat down on the couch. "What'swrong, Dad and Mom?"
Jack and Queenie exchanged glances, then looked at her and asked, "Do you know that Leia has aboyfriend?" "I know a little." Bianca was not too familiar with the Hiltons. She was quite surprised byBrody's display of chauvinism the last time they met, and she thought that Leia would not hook up withhim.
After all, Leia had been spoiled by Jack and Queenie, and she was also once a glamorous actress.She would not be interested in that chauvinistic man.
She did not expect that Leia would hook up with him, much less become pregnant with his child.
Bianca looked at her parents, wondering if they knew that Leia was pregnant.
"How did they meet each other?" Queenie asked.
Jack and Queenie had conducted an investigation after they knew about it, and the results were lessthan satisfactory. Brody Hilton's wealth came from his grandparents. His capabilities were mediocre,except for his propensity to indulge himself in entertainment. He was also said to be a frequenter ofnightclubs and similar establishments.
"Old Mrs... Grandma introduced him to her." Bianca was not used to the appellation yet.
"She introduced him to her?" Jack was shocked, not expecting that his mother would be the one tointroduce that kind of man to Leia.
"I was at Grandma's house that day. Grandma invited Mr. Hilton over for lunch and introduced Leia tohim." Bianca nodded and told what she knew.
Jack sighed and shook his head. "She made a mistake."
He knew that Old Mrs. Norman adored Leia, but why did she have to introduce her to that man?
Queenie held her husband's hand tightly, not knowing how to react.
Tommy noticed that the elders were acting strangely. He stopped playing with his toy and looked atBianca doubtfully. "Mommy, what's wrong with Grandpa and Grandma?" "It's nothing. Keep on playing."Bianca took out a piece of candy from Tommy's pocket, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Tommy ate the candy and did not say anything. He was once again distracted by his toy.
"Mom..." Bianca wanted to say something but checked herself.
"Leia is bringing that Mr. Hilton here for lunch today, but we've found out some less-than-desirablethings about him. We're wondering how to stop Leia from having a relationship with him," Queenie saidtruthfully, at the same time wishing that Leia would be as sensible as Bianca.
Bianca nodded, though she thought that there was no stopping the marriage from happening.novelbin
Leia was already quite advanced in her pregnancy. If she broke up with Brody, was she going to givebirth to the child?
How would Jack react if he knew that Leia was pregnant?
Bianca patted Tommy's head. She had an ominous premonition that something bad would happen ifLeia brought Brody back home for lunch.
"What do you think, Bea?" Jack decided to ask for her opinion. Ever since he found out the truth aboutLeia's personality, he regretted not being stricter with her in the past. He could not understand why shewould be so depraved!
Bianca dared not tell him her opinion. She paused for a while and said, "If Leia likes him, then weshould let her be."
Queenie sighed dejectedly. "That man isn't anyone decent. Leia might not be my birth daughter, butshe's my daughter nonetheless. I don't want to see her ruin her life."
