Female Novel
Chapter 1851
"Because Daddy said that the family is not peaceful now and it'll affect our quality of life. That's why wemoved out. It's not just us. Even Uncle and his family are moving out," Rainie said.
Queenie knew that this was because of Allison's return.
Kids would not tell lies, especially a little girl like Rainie.
Queenie nodded, indicating that she understood. With a gentle smile, she said, "Alright, Rainie, youcan go upstairs to play."
"Alright, Grandma." Rainie got up and headed upstairs with little steps.
Queenie's heart faltered when she saw the child's back. 'If only Bianca was in the country. If she wasaround, the family would be a happy family.'
Luca stood in Jack's study and watched him search for his oil paintings in the collection rack. She didnot say a word.
Apart from loving to drink while socializing, his other hobby was collecting oil paintings.
However, due to his status, he did not reveal this hobby of his.
"Oh, Luca. I should apologize for the things that have been happening lately." Jack took out an oilpainting and placed it on the table. He apologized to Luca.
Luca looked at him, astonished. "I beg your pardon, Mr. Norman?"
"I'm talking about the blind date with Enoch," said Jack while taking off the cloth that was covering theoil painting. "I learned about some of the things that happened later on. Enoch has given you a lot oftrouble, hasn't he?"
Luca nodded and did not hide it from him. "A little. Actually, it's not that much trouble."
"Are you saying this only because you're afraid I might punish him?" Jack asked. If a civil servant wereto be targeted by his superior, that would be the end of his career.
Luca shook her head. 'Why should I be afraid that Enoch will be punished?
'I didn't do anything. Even if Enoch is really punished, what does it have anything to do with me?'
Luca was worried that Jack might tell Luke this so that he could avenge her.
"Back when I first introduced Enoch to you, it was because I thought that he was a decent guy. I didn'texpect him to be such a burden. I got to know all of this through Mrs. Norman. It seems I owe you anapology," Jack said. If he had known much sooner that Luca was Bianca, he would not have done sucha thing.
"I'm the one who should be blamed for this issue. If I had made myself clearer before this, none ofthese things would've happened.” Luca shouldered all the blame herself.
Jack shook his head. He changed the topic after realizing she did not blame him and Queenie.
After putting down the oil painting, he called out to her, "Come, these are the oil paintings I recentlycollected. Come take a look and give your comments on them."
Luca nodded with a smile.
While both of them were evaluating the oil paintings, Queenie knocked on the study's door and camein. She said to them, "The chef has prepared dinner. You guys may come down and have dinner."
Luca heard it and nodded. She turned around and noticed that Queenie's expression was much betternow.
Jack kept the oil paintings and said, "Let's go. Call the kids to come down and have dinner."
Queenie nodded and sighed silently when she saw both of them. It seemed that Jack had been treatingLuca better since two days ago.
The moment she entered the study, she had a feeling as though both of them were father anddaughter.
'What did Luca do?
'How did she make Jack change into another person?'
Queenie saw Luca walking to the playroom next door, and after calling out to the kids, they headeddownstairs together.
The three kids walked happily beside her. Queenie wanted to call the kids to go over to her side, butwhen she opened her mouth, no words came out.
Luca was really close to the kids. If Queenie called out to them, it would make her seem ignorant.
After Luca and the kids accompanied Jack and Queenie for dinner, they sat in the living room and hadtea.
After some time, Jack took out a photo album and said happily, "Luca, do you want to have a look atthe old photos of me and Mrs. Norman from when we were younger?"
Luca was curious about their past. After all, she was not by their side in the first two decades of her life.She immediately nodded and said, "Sure. I would love to see them."
Jack placed the photo album in Luca's hand. "This photo album contains all our memories, from thetime I got to know Mrs. Norman to when we got married. There are also photos from a few events that
happened later on. They're all photos of us. You can slowly go through the album."
Queenie saw Jack passing the photo album to Luca. Indeed, that album contained all their photostogether.
She had a habit of collecting photos of herself and Jack to keep as memories. As for the other album, itcontained photos of them and Leia.
It was Bianca that Queenie did not get the opportunity to create a photo album for.
Luca opened the photo album, and the first photo in it was a photo of Queenie and Jack when theywere young.
Both Queenie and Jack were wearing the most fashionable clothes in the 70s.
Tommy was sitting beside her. He pointed at the photo and asked, "So this is grandpa and grandmawhen they were young?"
"Yeah," Luca answered.
Tommy praised, "Grandma is so pretty, and Grandpa is so cool!"
Jack was thrilled at the child's praise and laughed. "Oh Tommy, you're so good with your words."
Luca smiled at Tommy upon seeing how sweet of a talker he was before flipping to the next page."When was this taken?"
She pointed at one of the photos and asked.
Queenie took a glance, then looked at Jack.
Jack was looking at her as well. "You're the one who arranged these photos. Why don't you explain?”
Queenie then said, "This was when Jack was about to propose to me. He brought me to a park. Hehad planned the proposal with his colleagues. In the photos after that, you can see when the proposaltook place."
Luca nodded and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Norman to have planned a proposal."
Jack scratched the back of his head, feeling embarrassed. Back then, he was indeed very careless butwas fortunate enough to have his colleagues remind him. Queenie was not one of those conservativewomen but a celebrity. If he wanted to increase his chances of a successful proposal, he had to makesure the proposal was trendy.
Hence, with the help of his colleagues, he planned a proposal.
"It was all because I was afraid Queenie might not agree to the proposal if I did it casually," said Jack.
As Jack spoke, Queenie began to recall the past. At that time, she never expected the future to turn outlike this.
She then said while feeling shy, "You were the one who planned the proposal. I didn't ask for it!"
"Yes, it's all because you deserve the best." Jack nodded. He said the sweetest words in front of thekids.
Luca smiled, and the sound of the kids' laughter was heard.novelbin
"The kids are still here." Queenie did not expect Jack to say such a thing in front of the kids just to coaxher.
"It's alright. Today is our wedding anniversary. Sweet talk is important to show them how good theirgrandparents' relationship is," Jack said while looking at Luca, who was still flipping the pages of thealbum to look at more photos.
