Chapter 495 A Wave of Destructive Anger Surged Within Luke
Queenie stared at Luke from head to toe. Her gaze was as sharp as radar, but she could not help but be impressed by the young
man's outstanding character.
Unlike the other males present at the party, Luke was dressed casually in a white shirt and black pants. Even so, that did not
diminish his noble demeanor.
The man's body seemed to emanate a cold air, telling everyone to stay away, but at the same time, his charm was irresistible.
His overbearing demeanor was a stark contrast from his spotless appearance. No wonder women would be obsessed by his
looks.
However, that did not mean that he could deceive her daughter.
At that moment, Leia was blinded by love. She thought that by gaining Luke's affection, she had gained the world.
Queenie could not see a single trace of affection in Luke's eyes.
"Mrs. Norman." After Luke got over the shock of how Queenie looked similar to Bianca, he walked over and greeted her.
Leia was still hugging his arm, and he rested his hand in his pocket. He did not look impudent, but instead, he looked casually
elegant.
"I'd like to ask you something, Mr. Crawford. I wonder if you have completely dealt with that episode with Ms. Rayne at your
engagement ceremony. Leia is my only daughter, and she is still young and inexperienced. As her mother, I have to be
responsible for her future happiness." Queenie was smiling gently, but her gaze was frigid.
Luke could tell that she was probing him with his gaze.
Leia's grip on Luke's arm became tighter.
'Mom has always been a sensible woman. Now that Luke is willing to come with me to Grandma's birthday party, why can't she
see that I'm determined to be with him? What's wrong with her?
'I've managed to convince Luke to date me, but Mom seems to be undermining my efforts. What does she plan to do?' "It's all
water under the bridge, Mom. Why must you mention the past? If Luke has already decided to date me, it means that he's
already gotten over that incident. I love him, and he's willing to stay with me. That's enough for me. Who can say what will
happen in the future?"
Leia smiled brightly at her mother, then gently shoved Luke. "Tell my Mom, Luke," she said with mock anger.
Luke's eyelids were drooped. Leia could not see his expression clearly, and she did not know what he was thinking.
She frowned and continued, "Luke..."
Luke was speechless. His sexy lips were gently pressed together.
The man's silence made Leia uneasy. She desperately wanted the man to give her mother his promise. She was afraid that her
mother would be angered and object to their relationship.
Queenie could discern what was going on.
The man did not even do a good job putting on an act. How could she be relieved if he dated her daughter?
She smiled and said, "Mr. Crawford, if you're sincere in dating my daughter, then I hope that you can show your sincerity with
your actions. Otherwise..."
Before Queenie could finish her sentence, Luke interjected with his resonant voice. "I don't think that you'll be convinced by mere
verbal promises, Madam."
Luke was smiling gently. He displayed two rows of impeccable teeth, which was a pleasing sight.
His hands caressed Leia's hair intimately.
Leia was taken aback by Luke's display of "love."
When she came to her senses, she became delighted but at the same time bashful. On an impulse, she hugged Luke's muscular
waist with her arms, 1
Instantly, he could feel a wave of destructive anger growing in him. i Trying to hold back the disgust, he reciprocated Leia's
actions.
Queenie's face turned slightly ashen, and her gaze became colder.
However, she was not going to argue with her daughter in public. All she could do was shake her head helplessly.
Angrily, she turned around and returned to her friends.
Meanwhile, Luke patiently went around the hall with Leia.
He kept on reminding himself that he only had to tolerate it for a short while more. He was not going to let his plan fail.
Meanwhile, in the hospital ward, Old Master Rayne and Wanda were crying sorrowfully.
The old man hugged Bianca while tears fell from his clouded eyes while cursing the perpetrator that had injured his beloved
granddaughter. It was a heart-wrenching sight.
Wanda, on the other hand, felt guilty for what happened to Bianca.
If she had not told Bianca that Old Master Rayne was ill, Bianca would not have rushed out of the house so hastily.
Bianca took out a napkin and wiped away her grandfather's tears. "You shouldn't cry, Grandpa. Your eyesight is already failing,
and it'll become worse if you cry. See, I'm fine.’
Old Master Rayne touched the cast on Bianca's right leg and said sadly," You only got into an accident because you were
concerned for my health. You're still so young, and you don't deserve to suffer this. The car should have crashed into me. After
all, I only have a few years left..."
Bianca quickly stopped her grandfather from speaking. "What are you saying, Grandpa? Do you want me to feel guilty for the
rest of my life? Please don't say that again, please?" "Sigh, alright," Old Master Rayne said while wiping the tears from his eyes.
Seeing how dispirited her grandfather was, Bianca turned to ask her aunt," What happened to Grandpa, Aunt Wanda? Wasn't he
fine just a few days ago? Why did he suddenly fall sick? Have you brought him to the doctor? Are you feeling better now,
Grandpa?"
Old Master Rayne thought of what the doctor said and replied to Bianca," Well, it's nothing too serious. Your aunt is overreacting.
The doctor says that I shouldn't hide my trowels in the closet. It's no big deal, I'll just put them somewhere else."
Bianca was stunned. She looked at Wanda curiously.
Since when had Grandpa kept his trowels in the closet, and why would that cause him to fall sick?
Wanda burst out laughing when she saw her niece's expression. She explained, "It's not because of the trowels. I was busy with
work a few days ago, so I asked your grandfather to go to the hospital himself. The doctor explained his problem to him, but he
couldn't remember it clearly, and I have no idea what he was saying. When I went to look for the doctor, the doctor said that your
grandfather has high cholesterol levels. I guess your grandfather misheard that as 'closet trowels'..."
Bianca was speechless.
'I didn't know you're such a joker, Grandpa!'
