Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

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 appeared on his gentlemanly face.
He skillfully deflected the question. "Old Mrs. Norman, Leia and I have only just started dating. Our personalities are very
different, and it will take a while for us to adjust to each other. However, now that 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 chin and 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 Leia Norman.
She knew that there would be paparazzi hiding somewhere in the party, and she wanted to show her 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 the most 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 from Bianca's refreshing scent.

Because of certain circumstances, he had to put up an act with Leia. He went around the hall with her 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 were infatuated 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 though looking at a clown.
At a corner of the hall, Queenie was dressed in a modest gown and a shawl. She was chatting with Shakira 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 with a smile, "Leia is a grown-up
now, and she has already found a man she loves. I can see that you and your husband should be preparing for her marriage
soon. I have to admit that Leia has good taste in 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, but I don't think that he's suitable
for Leia. That boy is too detached, and a typical woman wouldn't know what he's thinking. Jack and I have been too protective of
Leia, and she is too naive. She wants to seek love, but she doesn't understand that love and marriage are two different things.
You and I are experienced in this, and I can tell that Luke doesn't have that spark of love for Leia. Do you think that Leia can find
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 they need 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 that Luke 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 I married in an arranged marriage, and I regret to this day that I

went through with it! There's no love between us, so he goes out drinking every day and comes home smelling of a different
woman's perfume. He even said that he found true love and doesn't come home for long periods. That seductress's son is two
years older than my daughter. I would've divorce that b*stard long ago, if not 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 was leaning 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 his previous 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 to harm her daughter.
She excused herself from the conversation and walked toward Luke while judging him with an observant 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...'
