Chapter 3222 Trying Her Best To Make It Up To Luca
As Queenie istened to Leia's words, her face turned pale. She showed a lock of disappointment. "Leia, you've really let me down." Queenie felt like getting up and leaving.
Despite everything, Queenie still had some feelings for her daughter, so she said, "Your father and have always provided you with whatever you wanted. Even after Bianca came back, nothing changed in the way we treated you.
"You've done such terrible things and still show no remorse, Leia, you've deeply disappointed us."
Leia sneered, her eyes brimming with malice. "Really? Well I regret it too."
Queenie's heart skipped a beat. She thought Leia regretted her actions. If that were true, she might welcome Lela back into the family after she was released three years later.
However, the next moment, she heard Lela say in a chilling voice, "If I had known I'd end up here today, I would've used the deadliest poison to kill you! And Jack, I wouldn't have spared him either. With you both dead, the Norman family would've been mine.
Hahaha, why did I go easy on you and only use a slow-acting poison in your supplements? I regret it, Queenie. I truly regret it!"
Queenie's face turned pale.
She had been deeply saddened when she discovered the slow acting poison in her supplements. Yet, she never confronted Leia. She thought Leia's unhappiness about being sent abroad drove her to such actions.
Now, when Queenle heard Lela's venomous words, she raised her hand in a move to slap some sense into her daughter. She had treated Lela so well. How did it come to this?
Luce sew this and grabbed Queenie's hand. She shook her head. "Mrs. Noman!"
Queenie, looking devastated, slowly lowered her hand.
The police officer stepped back when she saw that Queenie had calmed down. Even though she thought Leia's words were outrageous, she had to maintain order during visits. "No violence allowed."
"Alright, I understand," replied Queenie. It was uncertain whether she was responding to the police officer or Luca.
She turned to Luce and said, "Luca, let's go."
Luca glanced at Queenie and then at Leia, shaking her head helplessly.
Leia blew her chance.
If she had sincerely repented in front of Queenie, Jack might have forgiven her after her release. Luca helped Queenie up to leave.
Leia, who was still furious, slammed her hands on the table. The handcuffs on her hands clanged loudly as she shouted at Queenie, "I will never forgive you! Even in death, I won't forgive you! The day I get out will be the day you and your husband clie!"
Even the police officer could no longer hear such words. She had seen all sorts of hardened criminals and knew that women could be just as ruthless es men. However, she had never seen someone as ruthless as Leia before.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"Enough! Back to your cell," said the police officer as she grabbed Lele's arm.
After Luca helped Queenie out, they both got into the car.
Warren drove them back to Norman Residence.
While they were on their way, Queenie was sighing the entire way. She was unable to understand how her sweet little girl had tumed into what she was now.
"Mrs. Norman, please don't dwell on it. Everyone chooses their own path to take, Luca comforted her in a soft voice.
"It was Mr. Norman who took me to the orphanage to adopt a child, and I saw this little girl. Her smile was so sweet, her eyes so clear. I thought she was a good child. I never imagined things would turn out like this." Queenie let out another deep sigh.
Luca gave her a hug.
Perhaps children did inherit some traits from their biological parents.
Trying to change the subject, Luca asked, "Mrs. Norman, is Mr. Norman coming home for dinner tonight?"
"Yes, his workload has lightened up recently, so he's been coming home every night for dinner. Why do you ask?" replied Queenie, her attention shifting.
Jack had been involved in a suburban development project, but when he learned that T Corporation would be bidding, he stepped back to avoid any conflicts.
He delegated all the work to his subordinates.
"How about I cook dinner for you both tonight? suggested Luca. Sometimes, doing one's duties as a child was simple-like sharing a meal with your parents or even cooking for them.
"No, you're already so busy with work. Why make yourself more tired by cooking for us? We have a maid for that. Just join us for dinner, alright?" Queenie proposed. "If you don't like the maid's cooking, we can eat out and Invite Luke and the kids."
Luce shook her head and insisted, "Let me do it. It'll just be the three of us, a nice quiet dinner."
It was not that she did not want to include Luke and the kids. She just realized she had not had a proper meal with her parents since they reunited.
"I just want to have a quiet dinner with you and Mr. Norman."
Other children had countless meals with their parents growing up
However, her altuation was different. She had already married Luke by the time she reunited with Jack and Queenie.
Every time she went back to her parents house, she was either with Luke or the kids. It seemed like she hardly ever had a meal alone with them.
Queenie understand and nodded, "Alright. If it's just the three of us, we won't need too many dishes. I'll help you in the kitchen."
"Great." Luca agreed.
Warren was listening to their conversation from the driver's seat. He could not help but secretly admire how capable Luca was.
She had a knack for shifting Queenie's mood and distracting her from her worles.
After Queenie agreed, Luca sent a message to Luke explaining the situation. He quickly replied: [Let me know after you're done with dinner. I'll come pick you up.]
Luce replied: [Okay.]
She felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
Luca and Queenle soon arrived at Norman Residence.
It was stil early. Queenie asked the maid to prepare a guest room so that Luca could rest.
Feeling a bit tired, Luca agreed. She had just settled into bed when there was a knock on the door.
"Luca, are you asleep?" Queenie called from outside.
"Not yet," replied Luca as she sat up.
Queen le came in, holding a set of clothes in her hands. "You must be uncomfortable sleeping in your work clothes. Here, change into these pajamas. They're mine. They look a bit old-fashioned, but I've never worn them."
"Thank you, Mrs. Norman," replied Luca. She took the clothes from Queenie, feeling the soft silk. They would be comfortable.
"I'll leave you to rest, then," Queenie said kindly. With Luce around, she could keep her mind off Leie's issues.
Whenever Queenie thought about Leis, she also thought about Luca. If it were not for Leia, Luke and Luce would not be in their current predicament. Thinking about the hardships Luca endured because of Leia macie Queenie feel guilty.
She was already feeling remorseful for Luca being taken away at birth due to negligence. Had she not taken in Leia, Luca would not have endured further hardships. Hence, Queenie tried her best to make it up to her.
