Chapter 3221 Showing No Hint Of Remorse
Luca understood Queenie's intention. Nodding, she said, "Okay, thank you, Mrs. Norman."
"Have a seat for a bit. I'll go to the kitchen. We have some pasta at home, so it won't take long." Queenie said with a smile on her face as she headed into the kitchen.
The maid placed a cup of floral tea in front of Luca. "Ms. Craw, you should visit more often."
"Hmm?" Luca took the cup of tea, unsure of what the maid meant.
The maid explained, "Mrs. Norman has been smiling a lot from the moment you appeared.
"Mrs. Norman hasn't been in a good mood because of Ms. Leia's matter today. She's been kinda down and out, barely touching her lunch. But since you showed up, her mood's brightened a bunch.
"That's why I'm saying you've got to come around more often. It'll put a smile on Mrs. Norman's face."
Luca sipped her tea and nodded. As people grew older, they cherished having children around. Such days were warm and full of hope.
The maid's words reminded Luca that she had been too busy lately, hardly paying attention to Queenie.
She felt guilty.
Ten minutes later, Queenie walked out of the kitchen with a steaming bowl of pasta. "The pasta is ready. Come, have a taste."
Luca took the bowl from her and sat at the dining table. She saw the steak pieces on top of the pasta and smiled. "Mrs. Norman, this is too much for me."
"It's okay if you can't finish it all, but eat a little more." Queenie gazed at her with tenderness. "You've lost weight again since we last met. You should eat more." Queenie sat across from her, her eyes full of affection.
Only Luca could divert her attention. That way, she would not think about Leia's troubles.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Remembering the maid's words about Queenie barely eating lunch, Luca said, "Really, this is too much. It's shameful to waste food. Mrs. Norman, why don't you join me?"
"Sure." Queenie nodded with a smile.
Luca turned to the maid and said, "Could you please bring me a bowl?"
"Of course, Ms. Craw." The maid went into the kitchen and soon returned with an empty bowl and another set of cutlery, placing them in front of Queenie. Luca divided the noodles in the bowl in half.
"I don't need that much. I can't finish it," Queenie said worriedly. If Luca gave her too much, it might not be enough to fill her up. She might be left hungry. "Mrs. Norman, you didn't eat much today, right? You can definitely finish this." Luca chuckled and placed a few steak pieces into the bowl.
Looking at both portions being about the same, Queenie shook her head helplessly. "I eat less, but I do eat. You're different. You're always going hungry." "Don't worry about me being hungry. There are snacks in the car. I won't starve." Luca pushed the bowl toward Queenie and placed the cutlery on top. "Have some." "Alright, alright." Queenie picked up the cutlery and ate with Luca.
She had cooked plenty of pasta. One bowl was enough for two people.
After finishing lunch, Luca leaned back in her chair, feeling satisfied. "Mrs. Norman, your pasta is yummy."
"Come often. I'll cook for you." Queenie was delighted to hear her praise. It was a daughter's affirmation of her mother.
Luca nodded. "Okay, I'll come by often. You'd better not go back on your word!"
"I'm happy to cook for you," replied Queenie. Every mother wanted to do a little more for her daughter, and she was no exception.
"Sounds good," Luca agreed. Glancing at the time, she saw that it was getting late. They should go now. The staff would be starting their afternoon shift by the time they arrived. She rose to her feet and said, "Mrs. Norman, shall we head out now?"
"Sure." Queenie's smile faded as she thought of Lela.
If only both her daughters could be by her and Jack's side.
However, things never went as planned. After finally getting their biological daughter back, Leia became jealous and conspired with outsiders to kidnap her. After Luca was kidnapped, she was trapped in the other party's control for so long.
Luca had suffered.
Things had not been resolved on Luca's end, and Leia was headed to prison.
At the thought of this, Queenie's brows furrowed with sorrow as she watched Luca lead her out. She did not know why her emotions were so turbulent.
Perhaps she was not fated with her children. Otherwise, how could one child after another get into trouble?
Queenie even had a bad feeling at the thought of this.
Luca did not expect Queenie to be having such thoughts. After helping her into the car, she got in on the opposite side.
Warren was driving, and he took them to where Leia was detained.
Luca and Queenie followed the procedures and registered.
However, Luca wrote Luke's name on the visitors' list.
Luca was initially worried that it would not work out, but the staff recognized Queenie. They checked the name and did not say anything. They only asked them to wait as they asked for Leia's opinion.
After a while, a police officer approached and said, "Leia agrees to see you, and you've got 30 minutes to talk. Please come with me."
Luca helped Queenie up, and the two followed the police officer into a room.
It was not long before the police led Leia inside.
Leia frowned when she saw Luca and Queenie. "Why are you here?! Isn't it supposed to be Luke?"
"Luke isn't here. We borrowed Luke's name to see you." Queenie looked at her, tears filling her eyes. "Leia, you've gotten a lot skinnier."
Leia had been having a rough time lately. She was used to a life of luxury, but she was suddenly locked up here. She was bullied by her cellmates, and as a result, she was unable to eat or sleep well. She was forced to labor during the day...
She was now skin and bones. Her cheekbones jutted prominently, and her complexion a sickly waxen yellow. She looked utterly miserable.
"It's all thanks to you." Leia stared hard at Queenie. Her gaze of hatred then shifted to Luca. "You bitch! How dare you come to see me?"
"Leia!" Before Luca could say anything, Queenie snapped, "You can't talk to..."
Queenie paused for a moment. She wanted to say the word 'sister but instead said, "You can't talk to Luca like that. You're here because you did something wrong. No one forced you to do those things!"
"No one forced me?" Lela laughed as though she was hearing a big joke. She burst into loud laughter.
"Watch your tone. Don't get worked up," warned the police officer who stood near Leia.
Leia sneered again, "If it weren't for you and Jack, I wouldn't have done those things."
Queenie was taken aback for a moment.
"You and Jack treat someone who's not even blood-related to you better than me. How could I not be jealous? Even though you and Jack clearly have money, you're stingy with me. If you'd given me money sooner, my health wouldn't be in this mess. It's all your fault. It's all because of you!
"And on top of that, you treat someone unrelated to you better than me. You even wanted to keep me locked up in that apartment. Am I that shameful to you? You've never considered me your daughter. It's because of you that I was forced into doing those things!"
Leia roared in fury, showing no hint of remorse.
