Chapter 507 I'd Like You To Be My Goddaughter...
Bianca noticed that Queenie was looking at her lower abdomen.
She deliberately tugged her blanket and covered the lower half of her body. "It might be spring now, butthe weather has been unpredictable lately. I sometimes feel chilly even though I'm staying in my room...You should dress more warmly, Aunt Queenie. It's easy to catch a cold in this weather."
Queenie discreetly looked away and smiled. "I know that you're a luckless person, Bianca. You mightnot have too many close relations, and you want to find a significant other you can rely on. However, Ireally don't think that Luke is a suitable man for you.
"I remember when I first saw you, I thought that we're somehow fated. You are almost the same age asLeia, and you have a good character. I like
girls like you. If you're willing, I can be your godmother. That way, you won't feel as lonely. In the future,I can help you if you face any difficulties, say if your grandfather needs medical fees or if you want toadvance in your career... Also, when you find a significant other, I will give you a lavish present for yourwedding."
Queenie was smiling gently when she said those words.
She was a gentle woman, but Bianca found it hard to breathe when she listened to that soft-spokentone.
"Aunt Queenie, I have my grandfather and aunt. They're my close relatives, and I don't feel lonely at all.As for the matter of being your goddaughter. I'm sorry that I have to decline your offer. I know that mysocial status isn't as high as yours, and I think it should stay that way. Thank you for your kindintentions." Bianca gripped the blanket tightly.
Queenie's words had made her feel extremely uneasy.
Bianca's rejection did not cause any change in Queenie's expression. Her smile remained gentle onher face.
Queenie took out a name card from her handbag and handed it to Bianca." I know that my suggestionmight bring you some discomfort, Ms. Rayne, but I don't mean you any harm, nor would I force you toaccept it. If you face any difficulties, you can bring this name card and come to look for me at mycompany. You don't have to make an appointment. If you leave T Corporation someday, you arewelcome to work at my company, and the position of vice-chairperson is immediately yours." "Thankyou." Bianca felt that the name card was searing her fingers.
"You don't have to feel pressured. I just feel that we're somehow fated."
Queenie stood up and straightened Bianca's crumpled shirt collar. "I have some business to attend toat my company, and I can't stay here for too long. I'll be taking my leave, and you can keep the flask. I'llcome and visit you when I'm free."
After Queenie left, Bianca took another sip of her soup. The previously delicious soup was nowtasteless.
After taking care of official business, Luke left his office and went to Bianca's ward. He noticed thatBianca's face was pale.
When she looked at him, she seemed helpless, and her eyelashes were trembling. "Tell me, Luke, doyou think that we will end up together?"
Luke had opened her eyes in that period. She had been optimistic and determined, and she waslooking forward to their future together.
She was smiling even after suffering from that car accident, and she had never shown such intensesorrow on her face.
Luke turned his gaze onto the flask on the table. He could still smell the lingering fragrance of thechicken soup.
He thought that smell was familiar. His gaze flickered. "Who came to visit earlier?"
The incandescent lamp cast its light on Bianca's lean and pale face. She did not answer Luke’squestion.
"I thought that there would be light at the end of the tunnel if I was determined enough, but now, I'm nottoo sure about our future."
Luke was instantly nervous.
He took the flask and carefully examined it. The familiar smell reminded him of the day when Leiabrought a flask of chicken soup and visited him in his office.
The woman disgusted him, and he threw the flask away as soon as she left.novelbin
He had not tasted it, but he remembered how the soup smelled.
He put the flask down, and his gaze turned cold. "Did someone from the Norman family come to visit?Did Leia come?"
Bianca shook her head. "No, Leia didn't come. Mrs. Norman came to visit at noon."
Luke frowned even harder. "Mrs. Norman came to visit? Did she give you a hard time?"
Bianca smiled bitterly. "I wished that she gave me a hard time. She was very friendly toward me, andshe even offered to be my godmother. She also said that I can look for her if I face any difficulties in thefuture, and she'll give me a position in her company."
Luke sank deep in thought, and his gaze was frighteningly icy. ' What does that woman want?" "Mrs.Norman believes that we have split up. She says that she doesn't want me to interfere in yourrelationship with Leia, and I think she's trying to guilt-trip me with her kindness. To be frank, if she hadacted as the villain, I could have retorted her or ignored her. However, when she spoke to me, sheseemed like she cared for my feelings, and I felt guilty for lying to her... If Mrs. Norman finds out thetruth one day, I don’t know how I can face her. Leia and I are enemies. How could I be Queenie'sgoddaughter..." "Trust me. All this will soon pass. Treat it like a dream. When you wake up, everythingwill be normal once more." Luke hugged her in his arms.
Bianca hugged his waist. Her eyes were blurred with tears, and she was as sad as a lost child.
She hugged him like a fragile dream. "I hope that this is only a dream, and we can leave all this behindus soon."
I'll settle the matter as soon as possible. You are my wife, Bianca. You shall be the only wife I have."Luke's heart wrenched as he hugged her tightly.
He did not want to see her being frail and helpless. He would think that he was useless.
All he wanted to do at that moment was to tell the world the truth. He did not want to put up an actanymore, and he did not want to plot any schemes. All he wanted was for Bianca to be happy and notbe burdened by worries.
"I trust you. I've always trusted you." Bianca suddenly smiled.
Luke hugged her quietly and looked at her sweet smile. As he caressed her smooth hair, he made up adecision in his mind...
