Chapter 1201 She Chose This Path
"Visit Leia?" Bianca frowned and thought of Leia.
She had never been in contact with Leia but she learned a lot about her from documents. She feltneutral toward her so-called sister.
'She’s still thinking about Leia? Is she stupid?'
Bianca looked down on Queenie’s benevolence, but on the surface, she smiled slightly and said,"Mom, let's have Dad decide on this matter."
Based on what she read on the documents. Jack was the one who sent Leia abroad.
At that time, Leia refused to leave A City and made a big fuss before she was sent abroad. Since sheleft, Leia had been trying to figure out a way to come back.
Jack and Luke were getting in the way of it, so Leia never had a chance to return.
Bianca was surprised to hear that Leia found a partner abroad and wanted Queenie to visit.
It seemed to her that the engagement was fake and just a part of Leia's plot.
When she heard Bianca's reply, Queenie sighed and said in a melancholic tone, "Your father is stillangry... I can’t persuade him alone."
Jack loved her, but after all, he was once a soldier and had a stubborn temper.
Jack was already infuriated with Leia for everything that happened previously. If they had not spentmore than 20 years in the same household, he would have severed their father-daughter relationship.
Bianca did not want to see Leia, so she deliberately showed an uncomfortable expression as she said,"Mom, you're just getting better and I heard that this poison..."
She paused and did not continue talking.
Rumor had it that Leia was the reason why Queenie was poisoned.
Bianca was a little skeptical. Since everyone seemed to think so, it must not be a groundlessaccusation.
'Why would she still want to see Leia? Is there something wrong with her brain?'
Queenie’s smile froze when she heard what Bianca said. She patted Bianca's hand and sighed softly.
Bianca had lost her memory and started to alienate herself from Queenie after that. It seemed thatBianca no longer understood her as well as she did.
Seeing her reaction, Bianca was worried that Luke would think she had done something to Queenie, soshe chose to change the subject. "Mom, who's the woman who took your pulse?" "I don't know. It wasmy first time meeting her." Queenie showed a faint smile on her face when the mystery woman wasmentioned.
"Didn't you ask for her name?" Bianca was very curious. To Bianca, Shanks had the best medical skills,but she knew that Shanks would never treat Queenie.
"She didn't mention anything, but that woman is beautiful. Her beauty and temperament arerefreshing." Queenie thought about their previous interaction and even felt a feeling of warmth in herheart.
However, it was the first time she had seen the woman.
Bianca was speechless hearing Queenie complimenting the woman.
At noon, after the maid informed them that lunch was ready, Queenie and Bianca took the kids by thehands and walked to the dining room.
Jack's mood had improved a lot because of Queenie’s recovery. He was happy and opened a bottle ofred wine. When they were walking in, they saw him pouring Luke a glass of wine.
Queenie walked over, shook her head, and said, "Dear, you shouldn't be drinking." "It’s okay. I’m in awonderful mood today," Jack said. His expression was still upright and serious, but the corners of hismouth could not help but rise into a smile.
Bianca was a little puzzled. When she and Queenie walked to the garden just now, he was not happyat all.
'What did Luke say and do to make him so happy?'
Queenie shook her head and said softly to the kids, "Come, sit down." "Okay, Grandma." The kidsnodded and took their seats.
Bianca wanted to sit next to Luke, but Tommy and Rainie took the left and right seats next to him.Reluctantly, she sat next to Rainie.
Halfway through the meal, Jack finished half a bottle of wine and was a little tipsy.
"Come on, Luke, another glass! Bea will drive you back later." Jack clinked glasses with him.
Luke clinked glasses with him and finished the wine in one gulp.
Queenie watched the two of them drink. She took a sip of juice, put down her utensils, and said, "Dear,I have something to tell you."
Jack was tipsy. In the last few years, he had not drunk a single drop of alcohol to focus on taking careof her so his alcohol tolerance had become worse.
His face was flushing. He asked, "My love, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Queenie said, "Leia has found a boyfriend abroad and said that they’re going to get engaged. Let’s govisit them and meet the guy’s parents to discuss wedding details."
When he heard Leia's name, Jack shook his head. Although he was tipsy, he was not a fool. "I don’tcare about her." "Dear..." Queenie was a little anxious when she heard that he was unhappy.
"She's in a foreign country and the customs are different from ours. It's their business that they want toget engaged. It has nothing to do with us."
Jack waved his hand, picked up the bottle again, and poured himself and Luke a glass of wine. "Luke,don’t you agree?" "Mother-in-law, let’s talk about this later. Long-distance travel is not the best for yourcondition now." Luke picked up the glass. He did not persuade Queenie to give up nor did he agree toanything.
Leia had always wanted to return to A City, but he and Jack would always secretly put a stop to herattempts, forcing her to stay abroad.
Now that she was done with her studies, she realized that she still could not come back. Perhaps shethought that if she found someone to marry, it would soften Queenie’s heart and Jack's attitude. Lukewould never let her succeed.
When Queenie heard his reply, disappointment flashed in her eyes but she just nodded.
She knew that what Leia did was disappointing and unforgivable.
She should have gone to jail...
However, she had always seen Leia as her own. She was unwilling to see Leia go to jail, so shebegged Jack to send her abroad instead.
Many years had passed since the last time she saw Leia.novelbin
Queenie missed her.
After lunch, Jack and Luke continued drinking.
Luke was okay as he frequently socialized and could take his alcohol. After he supported Jack to thebedroom upstairs, he took his wife and children to say goodbye to Queenie.
Queenie escorted them out.
When they were about to get in the car, Queenie could not help but say," Luke, Leia didn't intend tocause anyone any hurt. Do you understand?"
Luke stood by the passenger door and looked at Queenie.
Although she was doing better, her complexion was still pale. In the past two years, Queenie’scomplexion had progressively worsened. Although her appearance was still well maintained, hercondition was not as good as before.
It was all because of Leia.
However, Queenie still chose to stand on her side. Luke's expression was unchanged as he said,"Mother-in-law, she chose this path. Take care and we’ll see you soon.”
