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

Chapter 857 She Bore the Child of A Criminal
Meanwhile, at the Norman residence.
The lamp in the yard cast a dim light on the fragrant garden and onto a gentle breeze of the early fall.
Under the dense canopy of leaves was a white steel table. On it was a white porcelain pot with a small mouth that emitted a wisp
of vapor.
Next to the pot was a basket with an assortment of delicate desserts.
Jack stared vacantly at his beautiful and elegant wife, who was sitting in a rattan chair and sipping a cup of tea.
The entire space belonged to the couple.
As he stared at her, time seemed to have frozen, and they were back in their younger days.
Jack was in a calm mood. He was not bothered by the political squabbles at work or any other earthly worries. All he wanted to
do was sit there and enjoy the tranquility with his wife.
He admitted that he had failed her. Because of him, their birth daughter had gone missing for more than twenty years, and they
had adopted Leia from an orphanage. His wife had doted upon the young girl, but Leia turned out to be an ingrate.
He could not predict how Queenie would react if he told her about what Leia did.
She had not walked out of her depressive episode, and Jack dared not take the risk.
However, he could not bear to see his wife being deceived by that unfilial daughter.
Queenie saw that her husband was about to say something. "Is there anything, Jack? You've been sighing. You're usually not
like this."
Jack placed his teacup on the table and ventured, "What do you think of our two daughters, Queenie?"
Queenie smiled gently. "They're good girls. Bianca is sensible and outstanding. She has inherited our genes, and I'm proud of
what she has done. She is like a diamond that sparkles brilliantly even under pressure.

"As for Leia, she might not be biologically related to us, but we've been raising her for so many years, and I know her character
quite well. She's not as outstanding as Bianca, but she's also sensible and considerate. She might have made some mistakes,
but it's good that she learns from them. It's just that... I feel sorry for her for not protecting her, and she has experienced things
that someone of her age shouldn't experience..."
Tears welled up in Queenie's eyes when she thought of the time when Leia was violated. She wiped her eyes with a
handkerchief and said guiltily, "I didn't expect the Blatt family's third son would perform such inhuman deeds on our Leia. She's in
the prime of her life, and she still has a long way to go. What if that incident causes her lasting trauma? What should we do?"
The breeze was cool, bringing with it the gentle fragrance of flowers. 1
Only Queenie's stifled sobs could be heard in the tranquil night. 1
Under the mottled shadows of the tree, Jack could see the sorrow and pity in Queenie as though she were translucent.
Jack sighed helplessly, hugged his wife, and gently patted her back. "You can't just see how things are at the surface, Queenie.
There are a lot of things that we don't know... for example, our younger daughter. Are you sure that you understand her
character? Have you ever considered that her docile and obedient character might only be a ruse?"
Queenie abruptly lifted her head and looked at her husband. "What are you trying to say, Jack? I know that Leia made a big
mistake, but she's learned her lesson, and she's also very nice to Bianca. You've also witnessed her change. Don't... don't you
trust our daughter?"
Jack's hands rested on Queenie's cheeks and held her face in front of his." If she's as considerate as you think, she wouldn't
have tried to destroy Luke and Bea's relationship. If she's as docile as you think, she wouldn't have threatened Dr. Hoover to
falsify Julie Anderson's DNA test report. If she's as obedient as you think, she wouldn't have involved herself with drugs and
been taken away to a rehab center. Do you see what our younger daughter has done, Queenie? Or could you not accept that the
girl that we've brought up has such a heinous character?" "I... I..."
Queenie stubbornly turned her head away, averting her husband's stern gaze. "That's all in the past. We all make mistakes, don't
we? Leia did so many stupid things because she's insecure. You should also know that kids who grow up in an orphanage can
be more sensitive than others.
"Bianca's return might have made her more insecure than ever, and that's why she... You can’t be asking her to pay for her
mistakes forever, can you? That's not fair for her!

"We're a happy family now. Bianca and Luke are a loving couple, and they've given us three cute grandchildren. Leia has
decided to quit the entertainment industry and learn business management from me, and she would also paint and practice yoga
with me too. I think our life is perfect now!"
Seeing that his wife remained stubborn, Jack swallowed the next words that were at the tip of his tongue.
His wife had been irredeemably deceived by Leia's charms. She would not believe it even if he showed her the evidence of their
daughter's deeds.
Never mind. Looks like I'll have to keep it a secret from Queenie.
'I won't forgive anyone who dares to harm my birth daughter!'
When Leia received an emergency call from her father, she was sitting on the toilet in the bathroom of Old Mr. Norman's house,
staring incredulously at the double red lines on the pregnancy test kit!
She was pregnant!
How was that possible?
After Wayne had violated her that time, she had taken the morning-after pill. It was impossible that she got pregnant.
Her periods had always come on time, perhaps because she had always received adequate nutrition. She did not even have
menstrual cramps, and she had always been healthy.
This time, her period was two weeks late...
The extra red line on the pregnancy test kit was a stark reminder that she was really pregnant...
What should she do?
Leia's hand that was holding the pregnancy test kit was shaking. She was bearing the child of a criminal!
