Chapter 1227 They Used to Call Her "Bea"


    Luca was busy for the rest of the day. She wanted to work overtime when she remembered what she


    had promised Luke the day before.


    Her phone began to ring when it was time to go off work. She recognized that the string of numbers


    was Queenie''s phone number.


    Luca answered the call. "Hello."


    It was the first time she had received a call from Queenie, so she had to pretend that she did not know


    who the other person was.


    Queenie could not help but be emotional when she heard that slightly familiar voice. "Is this Ms. Craw?"


    "Yes, I am. Are you Mrs. Norman?" Tears welled up in Luca''s eyes as she listened to the voice.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    When she had first reunited with Queenie, Queenie''s voice was slightly quivering, just like how it was


    now.


    "Yes, yes I am. Do you remember me?" Queenie was shocked that the woman recognized her voice in


    just one sentence.


    "Your voice is very gentle and friendly," Luca said. "Also, you sound a lot more energetic. Are you


    feeling better now?" "I''m feeling a lot better, and it''s all thanks to your concoction," Queenie said as she


    held the phone in her hands tightly.


    Jack was sitting next to her. "Get to the main point," he reminded her.


    Queenie remembered why she had called Luca. She said, "Oh, right, I was so excited that I nearly


    forgot why I called you. Ms. Craw, my husband and I would like to thank you in person, so we asked


    Luke to invite you for dinner. Do you remember?" "Yes, I remember. I''ll head over after I pack up," Luca


    said as she wiped the tears that were flowing from her eyes with a napkin.


    "Luke got someone to drive you there. You can go downstairs now; the car is waiting for you," Queenie


    said.


    Luca had a headache when Queenie mentioned Luke''s name. "It''s fine,


    Mrs. Norman. I can catch a cab." "It''s the evening rush hour now, and you won''t be able to catch a cab


    that easily. Luke''s car is already waiting downstairs. You don''t have to refuse," Queenie said eagerly.


    Luca was silent. It looked like she could not find an excuse.


    "Alright," she replied. She sighed after the call ended; all she wanted was to keep a distance from


    Luke.


    After tidying her desk, Luca quickly went downstairs and left the building. There was a Maybach


    parking at the roadside.


    She could instantly tell that the incredibly shy car belonged to Luke.


    Luca looked to her left and right. Most of her colleagues had already left, and no one she knew was


    around her. She quickly walked over to the Maybach and opened the door.


    After sitting in the backseat, she realized that she and the driver were the only people in the car. She


    had to ask, "Is this Mr. Crawford’s car?"


    Without seeing Luke, she was worried that she sat in the wrong car.


    "Good evening, Ms. Craw. Mr. Crawford asked me to drive you to the Norman residence," Sean said.


    "Alright, thank you." Luca was relieved that Luke was not in the car.


    Sean started the car and drove off.


    Talia walked out of the building and raised her eyebrows.


    She had kept a close eye on Luke, and she could recognize that the Maybach was his car. After all,


    she still had a crush on him.


    ''See? I knew that Luca only got a job in Watson because she’s sleeping with Luke. I wonder why she


    can be so arrogant.''


    Talia was angry when she remembered how Luca had rejected her. "Hmph, I''ll let the entirepany


    know what kind of person you are." 1


    Sean parked the car in front of the Norman residence. "We''re here, Ms. Craw," he said.


    Luca came to her senses, thanked him, and stepped out of the car.


    She rang the doorbell, and the Norman family caretaker quickly came out of the house. She greeted


    Luca warmly, "You must be Ms. Craw. Please,e in."


    The caretaker treated Luca warmly because she was Queenie''s savior.


    In her ten years of working for the Normans, Queenie had been very kind to the caretaker. In fact,


    Queenie was the person who had extended financial help to the caretaker when her family faced


    problems.


    The caretaker was very grateful toward Queenie. Luca had saved Queenie''s life, so she was a


    benefactor to the Normans too.


    Luca nodded and walked through the gates behind the caretaker.


    As they walked past the front yard, Luca noticed the rose bushes that were blooming vividly. Those


    rose bushes used to be her favorite, and she did not expect that Queenie would tend to them even


    though she was ill.


    It seemed that Queenie had spent a lot of effort on the rose bushes. She must have watered, pruned,


    and weeded them regrly.


    The caretaker noticed that Luca was staring at the rose bushes. She smiled and said, "Ms. Craw, do


    you like roses too?" "I love them," Luca said.


    "What a coincidence! Mrs. Norman and Ms. Bianca love roses too. Before Ms. Bianca lost her


    memories, she adored those rose bushes. Even though she had rarely visited us over the past few


    years, Mrs. Norman is still taking very good care of them," the caretaker exined.


    Luca smiled and looked away.


    It was true that Queenie loved roses, but she would not have devoted so much effort to those rose


    bushes if not that Bianca loved roses too.


    Luca could see that Queenie truly cared for Bianca.


    Luca went into the living room with the caretaker. Jack and Queenie were already sitting there waiting


    for her.


    Queenie became emotional when she saw Luca walk in. She stood up, walked up to Luca, and


    grasped her hands tightly.


    "It''s really you!" Queenie said.


    Luca was not feeling veryfortable when Queenie''s hands were wrapped tightly around hers. No


    one had held her hands like that for a long time.


    "Good evening, Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman." Luca nodded at Jack and looked at Queenie.


    "Good evening." Queenie suddenly realized that Luca''s gentle and soft voice sounded very familiar.


    She liked that voice a lot. It reminded her a lot of Bianca''s voice before her vocal cords were ruined.


    She was too ill to realize that earlier. Now that she got to listen to Luca''s voice carefully, she realized


    that it was the same as the previous Bianca''s voice.


    Luca could feel her emotions roiling as Queenie stared at her.


    "Don''t just stand there, Queenie. Come over with Ms. Craw and sit down," Jack broke the silence.


    Queenie came to her senses and nodded. "Yes, yes. I was too emotional.


    Pardon my manners, Ms. Craw."


    Luca thought it was awkward that they were calling her "Ms. Craw."


    She was their daughter, and they had called her "Bea." She was not used to them calling her "Ms.


    Craw," and she did not like it.
