Chapter 412 Queenie and Bianca Became Closer
Luke was chatting with Jack, but he had been keeping an eye on Bianca. He noticed that Bianca
seemed ufortable, and so he hurriedly ended the conversation and strode toward her.
He was dressed in a bespoke suit, and his tall and well-built body was iparable.
Leia was obsessed when she saw the man walk over. She had never seen a man in a suit as
handsome as him.
Luke hugged Bianca''s waist, kissed her on the forehead, and asked out of concern, ''What''s wrong?"
At that moment, Bianca was like a drowning person who had found a piece of driftwood. She instantly
calmed down.

She told him the truth, "I wasn''t feeling well, and Ms. Norman said that she had some medicine for me.
I don''t want to take the medicine..."
Bianca tactfully exined away Leia''s forceful coercion. After all, they were in the Norman residence,
and she did not wish for Luke to be angry over a minor issue.
She considered her words from the angle of a businessman and thought that it was more important to
keep the peace.
When Luke heard what Bianca said, his gaze on Leia became unnaturally harsh.
"Ms. Norman, are you qualified to prescribe medicine? Are you going to be responsible if Bianca''s
situation gets worse?" He rebuked coldly.
Leia did not have the nerve to look at the man''s prating gaze.
"I... I was worried about Ms. Rayne''s health, and that''s why...,” she stammered, "I''m sorry. I shouldn''t
have done that. I''ve been reckless."
Leia''s guilty attitude made other people think that Luke and Bianca were the ones at fault.
Bianca knew that Leia was very good at acting. She could only speak to
Luke, "Never mind. Ms. Norman doesn''t have any ill intentions. She might be genuinely worried about
my health. It''s fine.’
Luke did not say anything. He walked toward the other side of the hall without looking at Leia.
Leia stood rooted on the spot and did note to her senses for a long time.
Luke was not in the mood to stay. He hugged Bianca''s waist and said his goodbyes to Mr. and Mrs.
Jack Norman. "It''s New Year''s Eve tonight, Mr. Norman. My old man requests that we have dinner
together. I''ll be taking my leave." "Mm, you should return home. Old folks love to be with their family on
special asions,’ Jack said.
He was a little disappointed. He thought of matching Luke with his daughter, but Luke had brought
another woman with him. It seemed that the young man did not have any affection for his daughter at
all, and he did not even hide his sentiments.
"Your design is really unique, Bianca. My father-inw has been saying that he wants to meet you. Feel
free to visit us any time!" Queenie said gently as she held Bianca''s hand.
Queenie and Bianca had be closer throughout the party. She was reluctant to see the young
woman leave.
Bianca smiled magnanimously. "Alright, Mrs. Norman. I''ve given you my phone number and messenger
contact earlier. You can directly contact me if you have any suggestions or feedback. I''ll do my best to
make Old Mr. Norman happy."
Queenie looked at the outstanding couple as they left the hall.
"Jack, if our daughter were still alive, she''d be Bianca''s age..." She mumbled to Jack.
Jack draped his arm over Queenie''s shoulder and looked at their daughter, who was currently
surrounded by elite gentlemen. "You don''t have to think about the past. Our birth daughter is gone and
will nevere back. Leia is enough,’ heforted her.
Queenie did not say anything.
Leia might be obedient and considerate, and Queenie considered her as close as her birth daughter.
However, Queenie could not shake off the feeling that there was an invisible barrier between her and
her daughter. Perhaps it might be only an illusion.
Luke started the car, helped Bianca in the passenger seat fasten her seatbelt, then drove the low-
profile luxury car across the dark night. It passed by the blocks upon blocks of skyscrapers in
downtown A City and soon arrived at Crawford Manor.
A rule in Crawford Manor was that the family had to gather for dinner on New Year''s Eve.
Bianca and the Crawford family ate an insipid dinner. Then, Luke, Bianca, and the twins return to their
mansion.
The drive from Crawford Manor was only forty minutes.
The usually bustling streets were empty. The usual crowds seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Most of the stores were already closed. Only a few cars drove along the roads.
asionally, several fireworks would appear in the sky, and the crackling of firecrackers could be
heard...
A City was a Cosmopolis. To safeguard the environment and the citizen''s safety as well as A City’s
reputation, the city council had forbidden fireworks and firecrackers on New Year. That took away a lot
of the festive atmosphere.
As Luke drove the car with Bianca and the two cheerful twins ying in the backseat, there was a
change in his mood.
The long day had been tiring, but he felt warmth and satisfaction.
He used to hate New Year''s Day. While other families gathered and celebrated, he would be sitting
alone in a corner. No one would understand how he felt unless they experienced it themselves.
It was already eleven o''clock when they returned to their abode. The twins were moring for supper.
Bianca rolled up her sleeves and got busy in the kitchen.
Everymp in the mansion was lit, making it a bright spot in the dark world.
Bianca made some chicken soup. Its fragrant aroma soon filled up the kitchen...
It was a warm andforting love nest.
As Bianca stirred the soup, Luke hugged her fragrant body from behind and whispered tenderly into her
ear. "This is the happiest New Year''s Eve of my life. Thank you, darling."
The light cast long shadows, upying almost half the wall behind them.
Back then, he would be failing to fall asleep as hey on the bed looking at his shadows, feeling sorry
for himself. Seeing that there were two shadows on the wall, that gave Luke iparablefort.
Bianca turned around, stood on tiptoe, and gently kissed his lips. "I promise you will be just as happy
on every New Year''s Eve after this..."
