Chapter 494 When He Saw Queenie, He Thought That He Saw Bianca

Leia held her breath as she waited for Luke to give his reply. She was afraid that he might say no.He was her poison, and there was no cure.

Luke did not expect Old Mrs. Norman to ask that direct question. A hint of contemplation appearedon his gentlemanly face.

He skillfully deflected the question. "Old Mrs. Norman, Leia and I have only just started dating. Ourpersonalities are very different, and it will take a while for us to adjust to each other. However, nowthat we've agreed to be together, I'll treat her the best I can. Marriage is a serious matter. Of course,I'll bring her to meet my family when the time is right.

Old Mr. and Mrs. Norman nodded satisfactorily.

Leia smiled modestly when she heard his answer. Her face was like a tulip in full bloom

The man had publicly acknowledged their relationship. It was like a dream.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I'll bring Luke around.”

After getting their tacit approval, Leia's delicate arms went around Luke's arm. She lifted her chinand said with a smile. "Let's go, Luke. I'll introduce you to my friends.”

She could not wait to tell everyone that the most outstanding man of A City belonged to LeiaNorman.

She knew that there would be paparazzi hiding somewhere in the party, and she wanted to showher intimate affection to Luke in a way that everyone could see.

The first reason for doing so was to showcase her unique charm that managed to captivate themost elegant and extraordinary bachelor.

Secondly, she wanted to show that she was already taken so that no other man would court her.Luke wanted to push that woman away.

He was extremely disgusted by the thick stench of perfume that she wore. It was very different fromBianca's refreshing scent.

Because of certain circumstances, he had to put up an act with Leia. He went around the hall withher and accepted the praise from the other guests.

Leia appeared to be modest, but her eyes were brimming with pride and intrigue.

There were many more beautiful and graceful single women at the birthday party who wereinfatuated with Luke. However, Leia beat them all and claimed him as her own.

Those women were losers

Luke could not be bothered to call out Leia's self-indulgent parade. He looked at her as thoughlooking at a clown.

At a corner of the hall, Queenie was dressed in a modest gown and a shawl. She was chatting withShakira and other friends while sipping a cocktail, but her eyes were transfixed on Leia.

It had been half an hour, but she had not finished her drink yet.

"Do you have something on your mind, Queenie?"

Shakira noticed that Queenie's daughter was standing intimately with Luke Crawford. She said witha smile, "Leia is a grown-up now, and she has already found a man she loves. I can see that you andyour husband should be preparing for her marriage soon. I have to admit that Leia has good tastein men. I've had many interactions with that Luke boy. He's ideal in both appearance and character.You don't have to worry that Leia might be bullied.”

Queenie shook her head slightly and frowned. "I know that Luke is an outstanding boy, Shakira, butI don't think that he's suitable for Leia. That boy is too detached, and a typical woman wouldn'tknow what he's thinking. Jack and I have been too protective of Leia, and she is too naive. Shewants to seek love, but she doesn't understand that love and marriage are two different things. Youand I are experienced in this, and I can tell that Luke doesn't have that spark of love for Leia. Do youthink that Leia can replace happiness in this unrequited love?"

Sitting next to Shakira was a woman with a coquettish face. She patted Queenie's shoulder and said,"Don't worry too much about it. Marriages among socialites are rarely based on true love; all theyneed is material satisfaction. You and Jack have found each other and maintained a blissful wedding,but there aren't many people as lucky as you. A man’s heart isn't made of stone, and I believe thatLuke would eventually soften up to Leia. That'll happen even faster if they have a child.”

A noble-looking lady in the group sneered and gave her opinion. "Don't listen to her nonsense,Queenie. How can you have a marriage without love? I'm a good example. My husband and Imarried in an arranged marriage, and I regret to this day that I went through with it! There's no lovebetween us, so he goes out drinking every day and comes home smelling of a different woman'sperfume. He even said that he found true love and doesn't come home for long periods. Thatseductress’s son is two years older than my daughter. I would've divorce that b*stard long ago, ifnot that I have to remain in this marriage so that my daughter gets his inheritance!"

As Queenie listened to the varied opinions of her friends, she looked at her daughter, who wasleaning on Luke's shoulders, and was beginning to feel disheartened.

Leia was her treasured daughter and spiritual sustenance for many years.

She would not allow any man to do her daughter any harm.

Queenie knew that Luke loved Bianca very much.

The man had professed his love for Bianca in front of them. He was going to marry Bianca,regardless of his family's objections.

Those actions were proof of Luke's earnest love for Bianca.

Although the engagement ceremony did not go according to plan, how did Luke walk out of hisprevious relationship so quickly and start dating Leia?

There was something fishy about it.

Was the man fickle or aloof?

No matter how he might be, Leia was utterly head over heels, and Queenie would not allow him toharm her daughter.

She excused herself from the conversation and walked toward Luke while judging him with anobservant gaze.

Luke abruptly turned his head around when he sensed that someone was looking at her. 1

When he saw Queenie, he had the illusion that he was looking at a middle- aged version of Bianca.'My eyes must be playing tricks on me..."
