Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 1811

The maid saw her looking at those rose bushes, smiled, and said, “Mrs. Norman takes good care of the rose bushes. They’ll definitely bloom again next year.”

“Yes. She has always known how to take care of these rose bushes,” Luca said thoughtfully.

The maid looked at her in surprise. “Ms. Luca, you know Mrs. Norman well. Indeed, she knows how to take care of rose bushes well. These were trimmed a few days ago. Mrs. Norman said that the rose bushes will look great next year after vernalization.”

Luca smiled as she listened to the maid.

Of course, she understood her own mother well.

Luca felt a sense of warmth when she walked into the house. The maid said, "Mr. and Mrs. Norman, Ms. Luca is here."

Queenie walked out of the kitchen with an apron on her. She saw Luca standing at the entrance. She smiled and said, “Luca, you’re here. Take a seat. Dinner will be ready soon.”

Jack, who was sitting on the couch, added, “Luca, come here and drink some tea.”

Luca smiled. She nodded as she walked toward Jack and sat down on the armchair beside him.

Jack cleaned a teacup and poured some warm tea for her. "It's cold out there, right? Come, drink some tea to keep yourself warm."

"Thank you, Mr. Norman." Luca took the cup of tea from him, took a sip of it, and tasted it.

Jack shot a glance in the direction of the kitchen and continued to talk to Luca, “How’s the tea?”

“It tastes good, and it smells nice. I can always get a cup of nice tea here,” said Luca as she smiled.

Jack took a sip of the tea and shook his head. “This isn’t considered much. I don’t have any good tea here, but the Crawford family does. But don’t you know already that?”

Luca’s smile froze a little. He did not mean to mention the Crawford family on purpose, but she could not help to notice that.

“What’s wrong?” Jack’s heart sank when he noticed her oddness.

Luca was a smart person. A simple sentence that he said had sparked a different reaction in Luca.

Was she feeling guilty?

"Nothing. I’m just wondering what kind of tea does the Crawford family have that tastes better than this warm cup of tea." Luca tried to smooth things over.

Jack smiled and gave her a thoughtful glance. Then, he refilled some tea for her again. "Old Master Crawford loves drinking tea. Everyone in A City knows about it. Luke would buy some tea for the old master every now and then. He would spend tons of money just so the old master can enjoy good tea. Everyone in A City knows that."

"Mr. Norman, I didn't grow up here, so it's my first time listening to these things that you're saying." Luca looked down and tasted the tea quietly. The sweetness and bitterness of the tea were mixed. Gradually, she could no longer taste the sweetness in it.

It felt awful to be doubted by someone else.

Luca could not tell them that she was their daughter either…

Jack smiled and said, “Oh, I’ve been too busy these days. I even forgot that you grew up in a foreign country. Russia should be colder than A City around this time of the year, right?”

"Yes. It's so much colder there. That's why I'm alright with the current temperature here.” Luca finished drinking the tea in her teacup.

“There’ll be an International Tea Industry Expo in A City in a couple of days. Would you like to come? You can buy some good tea there. You might be able to use it in the future.” Jack tested her.

If Luca really had feelings for Luke, she would try to please the people around Luke. Hence, she would readily agree to go to the expo to shop for some tea.

Queenie handed a bowl of chicken soup to her and said, “Oh yes, Luca. How’s life?”

"I'm quite busy these days. You know that too. T Corporation is tendering a project in Europe, but their translator happens to be on maternity leave. Mr. Doyle knows I understand Russian, so he got me to do the translation work. I’m really swamped at work now. These days, I've been busy as a bee," said Luca. After Jack tested her out earlier, Luca knew Mr. and Mrs. Norman invited her for dinner only to find out if anything was going on between her.

After Luca knew that Leia had been admitted to the hospital, she speculated that it must have been Madam Mallory who said something to Queenie.

The reason was that Percy had to stay in the hospital to feel any relief. Madam Mallory adored her son so much, so she would definitely accompany him at the hospital. If she found out that Queenie was there too, she would try her best to run into her and tell her everything about her and Luke.

Even though Luca had saved Queenie before, Queenie still loved her daughter the most. She would want Bianca to be happy.

If something was going on between Luca and Luke, it would be the biggest obstacle for Bianca.

Luca felt helpless. She could not say anything if they really wanted to deal with her.

After all, they were doing it for Bianca’s sake.

“If you’re so busy, it must be hard for you to take care of yourself when you’re staying alone. Come, drink more soup. It’s good for women's bodies. No matter how busy you are with your work, you have to take care of your health too.” Queenie felt bad to know that Luca was overwhelmed with work.

It was as though she was feeling bad for her own child.

Queenie was slightly startled by herself. When did Luca start making her feel this way?

"Thank you, Mrs. Norman." Luca took it from her. She blew on the hot chicken soup for a while and sipped the soup slowly.

Queenie looked at her thin face and could not help but say, "Luca, you’ve lost some weight. It must be tough for you to handle so many jobs, right?"
