Female Novel
Chapter 1837
"No worries..." Queenie was slightly stunned when she heard that he had not won over Luca. Shethought Luca was quite satisfied with Enoch.
After all, Enoch was a good-looking bachelor. Many women were vying for a blind date with him.
"Have you encountered any difficulties?" Queenie thought about it and understood why he wanted toask them out.
"No, I just want to invite the two of you to a meal." Enoch knew that talking on the phone would not givehim the best opportunity, so he wanted to seize the opportunity to meet Queenie in person.
Queenie thought about it for a while. She agreed, thinking that maybe he had something to talk to herabout. "Okay, give me the time and date. Mr. Norman may not have time, so I'm not sure if he'll attend.As for me, I'll be there."
"Okay, thank you, Mrs. Norman. I'll keep you posted once I've confirmed the date and time. I won'tdisturb you and Mr. Norman's rest any further. Goodbye." Enoch was so happy that he wanted to jumpupon hearing that Queenie was willing to meet with him.
The last time they met, he noticed that Luca seemed to listen to Queenie.
If Queenie put in a good word for him, maybe Luca would give him a chance.
Enoch was confident in what he could provide for her. He believed that as long as Luca was willing togive him a chance, he could win her heart.
On the other hand.
Jack came out of the bathroom and happened to hear Queenie's last two sentences. He asked, "It's solate. Who's calling?"
"It's Enoch from your department," Queenie replied as she put her phone aside.
"Enoch? What did he call for?" Jack frowned. He had never asked Queenie to help with work.
Therefore, people in his department would usually not contact Queenie. It was so late as well...
"He seems to be satisfied with Luca, but Luca doesn't seem to care about him. I'm guessing he wantsto ask me for help to put in a few words," Queenie said helplessly. Although she had introduced Enochand Luca, she thought that the rest should just flow naturally.
If Luca was not interested in him, he should not force it. Queenie should not have to force Luca to doanything.novelbin
After all, the feelings were hers. She could not control who Luca liked.
If she were not worried that Bianca's position as Luke's wife would not be guaranteed, she would notbe a matchmaker either.
"It's all about mutual consent. What does he want you to do?" Jack frowned. For a long time, hethought that Enoch was a person who knew better. However, his impression of Enoch worsened afterthis incident.
Jack felt guilty when he was reminded of how Luca was Bianca and that he cooperated with Queenie tointroduce her to someone.
Fortunately, Luca was not interested in Enoch. Otherwise, he would have wronged Luke.
"I thought so too, but the guy seems to like Luca a lot." Queenie frowned slightly. She agreed with whatJack said.
Jack's heart skipped a beat as he looked at her. "Are you going to agree to Enoch's request?"
"He wants to invite us to dinner. Don't worry, I've already turned it down for you. My attendance isdependent on my schedule as well. Since he likes Luca so much, it's not impossible to help once, right,dear? After all, I don't want to see Luca miss out on such a good man either." Queenie asked Jack foradvice.
Jack shook his head and responded, "That shouldn't be the case. If Luca doesn't like him, it's pointlessfor you to force it."
"That's true... but I've already promised Enoch. I'll go just once. If it doesn't work out, we'll introducesomeone else to Luca." Queenie had already thought it through. No matter what, she would find apartner for Luca.
There were a lot of young lads working under Jack. She was sure that there would be one Luca wouldlike.
Jack shuddered as he listened to his wife's plan.
He regretted agreeing to arrange a blind date for Luca. If he had known that she was Bianca, he wouldnot have interfered with Luke's and her relationship. He would even help to hide it from Queenie.
Now, if he did not agree with Queenie, she might misunderstand. If he agreed with Queenie, he wouldcause trouble for Luca and Luke.
"What are you thinking about?" Queenie noticed his frown.
Jack shook his head and explained, "I think it's up to the young people to deal with their affairs. MaybeLuca is focusing on her career and doesn't have the headspace for romantic relationships?"
"Luca is good-looking and doesn't look her age, but she's getting older. She needs to get marriedsooner or later." Queenie did not understand why her husband had suddenly changed his mind.
Jack reluctantly said, "Luca grew up abroad. The mindset of people in foreign countries is different fromthose in A City. If it doesn't work out with Enoch this time, we'll let go of the matter. Let's not go too far,lest she gets annoyed with us. We have to repay her kindness to our family."
Queenie was even more puzzled. He had agreed with her plan before this, but out of the blue, he did a360.
"Dear, did something happen?" she asked in a soft voice.
"I just think we shouldn't be meddling in their relationship. Regarding Enoch, I'm sure Luca has her ownreasons as to why she's not interested. We can't force her to accept him. She respects us and agreedto our arrangement because of it, but what comes next has to be decided by her..." Jack heldQueenie's hand, hoping that she would not cause any more trouble for Luke and Luca.
Luke and Luca had not had it easy.
"But I'm doing this for the sake of our daughter..." Queenie agreed with what he said but she wasselfish.
She prioritized her daughter.
Of course, Jack knew what she was doing. He said, "No matter what it is, it's their choice. It's time welet the young people make their own decisions."
Queenie sighed and turned her face away. Her voice became choked up, "I feel that you've changed. Isthere any news from Bea?"
"No, my friend couldn't find Bea. I talked to Luke and was able to get in touch with Bea through him.She's having a wonderful time abroad and has learned a lot of new things, so she doesn't plan to comeback now." Jack found an excuse to fool Queenie.
"How could you get in contact with Bea but I can't?!" Queenie felt that something was off.
"Bea has been traveling. Next time. Next time when I contact her, I'll ask her to come back for thefestivities!" Jack assured her.
Queenie nodded and kept quiet.
When he saw Queenie's watery eyes, Jack knew that Queenie would not give up on the matter.
It seemed that he had to drop Luke a reminder.
After all, it was his and Queenie's wrongdoing.
"Get some rest, dear. Don't you have to get up early tomorrow to go to the hospital to deliver breakfastto Leia?" Jack embraced her and walked to the bed.
