Queenie felt very uncomfortable when she looked at the harmonious scene presented in front of her eyes.
She went back to the master bedroom. Jack was facing the dressing mirror putting on his tie. He noticed Queenie coming in and
asked her, “Are Luke and the others awake?”
“They’re awake,” Queenie said. Seeing how composed Jack was, she stopped herself from saying more.
Jack noticed the expression on her face. “What’s wrong?” He asked out of concern.
“Jack, I think you should speak to Luke whenever you have the time. When I went over to wake them up, I found Luca in their
room...” Queenie said worriedly.
Luca was an outstanding woman, and she was a good match for Luke. However, Luke was already their son-in-law. Even if
Bianca had lost her memories, her love for Luke did not lessen. She would not accept it if Luke were together with another
woman.
Jack stopped what he was doing and frowned. “Did they sleep together?”
“No. Luke was sleeping on the floor. He said that the children could not sleep because they missed their mother, so he asked
Luca to come over and tell them a bedtime story. They might not be sleeping on the same bed, but that’s because the bed isn’t
big enough. If the bed were big enough, who knows if they might be sleeping together?” Queenie voiced her concerns.
Even though they were not sleeping on the same bed, Jack thought that it was very inappropriate. He fastened his tie and said,
“I’ll talk to Luke.”
“Mm. You have to. Bea might be overseas now, but that doesn’t mean Luke can do whatever he wants. There’s no reason for
them to sleep in the same room,” Queenie said. She thought that Luke should have carried out his responsibility as the children’s
father instead of asking Luca to take over.
Moreover, it was even more concerning that Luca managed to coax the children to sleep. It proved that Luca was very important
to the children, as though she could replace Bianca’s position...
Jack nodded. He put on his coat and left the bedroom.
Queenie did not follow behind him. She did not want to join in the conversation between men.
Jack went to Bianca’s bedroom. Luke had already cleaned up. Luca was in the attached bathroom helping the children wash
their faces.
“Luke, are you free? Can we have a chat?” Jack said. He was not going to speak to Luke about that matter in front of the
children.
“Mm.” Luke nodded. He knew what Jack was going to tell him.
They went to the balcony. Jack glanced behind him to ensure Luca and the children were not behind them.
“I’ll get to the point. Do you have any special feelings for Luca?” Jack asked.
“No.” Luke immediately refuted it. He remained calm in the face of the question.
Jack frowned. He could not tell if Luke was telling the truth. After taking a deep breath, he continued, “That’s good to know. Bea
is still overseas. I hope that she still has a husband when she comes back.”
“I understand.” Luke placed his hands into the pockets of his pants. He understood Jack’s concerns.
Even though Luke had given his affirmation, Jack did not feel relieved at all. He did not want Luke to think he was unconditionally
siding his daughter.
However, he had promised Queenie to talk to Luke. He said, “Bea is overseas now, and she doesn’t reply to our messages. Your
mother-in-law misses her. If it’s possible, ask her to come back for the New Year. Her mother would like to spend the occasion
with her. Also, tell her to phone home when she’s free. You know, Bea sometimes doesn’t listen to us, but she’ll listen to
whatever you say. I hope you don’t mind it, but we really miss her.”
Luke could tell that Jack’s main point was to ask Bianca to keep in touch with them.
“Alright, I understand,” he said.
The impostor Bianca’s voice was slightly hoarse because her vocal cords were damaged. Luke might not be able to find
someone who could impersonate the real Bianca’s voice, but it was relatively easier to find someone with a voice similar to the
impostor Bianca.
He decided to find someone to act as the impostor Bianca and give Jack and Queenie a call.
Jack grinned happily when Luke gave his promise. Things would be fine as long as Bianca was willing to talk to them.
He thought that it would be better for them to tell Bianca to keep an eye on Luke.
Bianca cared for Luke. She would not let that happen.
After the conversation, Luke and Jack went downstairs. Luca and the children were already sitting on the couch in the living
room.
Queenie smiled at the two men. “Breakfast is ready. Let’s eat.”
The people sat around the dining table and ate their breakfast.
After that, Luke, Luca, and the children left the Norman residence.
Luca sat on the side passenger seat. As she gazed at the scenery outside the window, she thought of how Luke and Jack had
come downstairs at the same time.
While in the bathroom, she had heard Jack calling Luke for a talk.
“Um, did Mr. Norman talk to you earlier?” Luca asked.
“Mm,” Luke replied while keeping his focus on the road ahead.
“Is it because of me? I shouldn’t have slept in that bedroom. I hope he didn’t misunderstand the situation,” Luca said. Even
though she could not reveal her true identity now, she did not wish to tarnish their impression of Luca.
She might have changed her face, but no one could deny that she was Luke’s wife.
“They didn’t misunderstand. We were talking about Bea,” Luke said.
‘They were talking about Bianca...’
Luca nodded.
Luke did not go into the apartment complex. Instead, he parked the car by the side of the road and said, “I’m not going in today.
Can you walk back on your own?”
Luca nodded. The children were making some noise behind, but she felt uneasy. She unfastened the seatbelt, stepped out, and
closed the door.
Luke left immediately.
Luca felt a little hollow inside as she watched the car leave. Was Luke trying to keep a distance from her?
Usually, Luke would drive the car into the apartment complex...
In any case, Luca thought that it was a good thing. If Luke kept his distance, she would have fewer opportunities to interact with
him...
However, that thought did not make her happy.
In fact, that was a horrible feeling...
Luca sighed and walked away.
In the car, Rainie leaned back on the seat and watched Luca walk into her apartment. She sat up and said with a smile, “Daddy, I
slept really well last night.”
