Chapter 2336 Similar Preferences

Queenie recalled that Leia did not like taking the doctor's advice either, so she shook her head in

distress.

"Aunt Queenie, what's wrong?” Nina said with concern.

“Nothing, I just hope that everything will get better after the new year,” Queenie expressed her

wishes.

Although Nina loathed Leia to the point that she would not even pity her if she were to die, Queenie

would be sad if Leia died. Bianca cared the most about her biological mother, so she still comforted

her, “Don’t worry, Ms. Norman will be able to recover and be discharged soon. Plus, there's still

Luca. She's great at treating patients, so she can help Ms. Norman anytime.”

Queenie could no longer smile at the mention of this.

After seeing the smile on her face disappear, Nina realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she

asked with caution, “Aunt Queenie, did I say something wrong?”

Queenie shook her head and frowned as she told Nina about last night's events.

Although Luca had sent her a message afterward saying that it was okay, Queenie knew that Luca

was still angry. Hence, she told Nina about it in hopes that she would put in a good word for her

later.

She had no other choice but to rely on someone younger than her...

At the thought of this, Queenie felt utterly helpless...

Nina furrowed her brows after listening to her story.

Luca was not one to get angry easily, so if Leia could make her toss the medical records aside and

leave, then it proved that that mouth of Leia’s was really something.

Queenie sighed and said, “Leia has always been bad-tempered, and her temper got even worse

after getting sick. She has no patience at all. This time, she really went overboard, so I wanted to use

this meal as an opportunity to apologize to Luca.”

It suddenly hit Nina. No wonder Queenie offered to pay for the meal before this.

It turned out that she was trying to make amends to Luca by paying for the meal...

"Aunt Queenie, don't worry. Luca isn't a petty person. She may have been a little angry at that time,

but she must've let off all the steam by now. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been glad that you're

buying dinner.” Nina reassured her.

“Luca knows?” Queenie was stunned, then became worried that Luca might not come.

“Yup, she just sent a message saying that she has arrived downstairs.” Nina dispelled her doubts.

She was worried that Percy would not be able to reach her, so she put her phone by her side to not

miss any messages—even when she was dining with an elder like Queenie.

Therefore, she read Luca's message first thing.

“It's good that she’s here. I was worried that she might not want to come after finding out that I'm

here.” Queenie breathed a sigh of relief.

“Aunt Queenie, how could she—" Nina's gut told her that Luca was not that kind of person as she

also seemed to respect Queenie a lot.

Just then, her phone rang.

Nina picked it up and said with a smile, “Aunt Queenie, Luca asked us to order first and that we can

order anything for her. She wants to go to the supermarket to buy something first.”

“Alright then. You're closer to Luca, so you choose.” Queenie raised her hand to summon the waiter.

They received the menu handed over by the waiter. Nina looked at the menu while saying, “I'm

actually not too sure what Luca likes to eat, but I've had a few meals with her before. She usually

orders things that Bianca likes.”

“Her preference is similar to Bea's?” This time, Queenie was flabbergasted.

After Nina finished ordering, she handed the menu over to Queenie. “Aunt Queenie, order some

dishes too.”

“Alright.” Queenie was influenced by Nina's words, so she chose two dishes that Bianca liked. “That's

it for now.”

"Okay, please wait a moment. I'll go place your order.” The waiter took the menu and turned around

to leave.

Queenie noticed that Nina did not answer her question, so she asked once again, “Nina, are Luca's

food preferences similar to Bea's?”

“I haven't eaten with her a lot, but every meal we have, she'd order something Bianca likes. It's just a

coincidence. There's only so much local food that's delicious in A City anyway,” Nina said with a

smile.

“You're right.” Queenie nodded in agreement.

On the other hand.

When Luca arrived at the mall, she remembered that it was New Year's soon...

During New Year's, Luke would definitely bring the children to Norman Residence to visit the elders

there, but she was not acquainted with the Norman family, so who was she to visit them?

Hence, she planned to buy some gifts and use this opportunity to gift them to Queenie and Jack.

Luca first went to the gift store to buy some tea leaves and an expensive bottle of red wine.

Although the wine was not as good as the ones in Luke's cellar, it was already one of the high-grade

wines available in the market.

She bought some supplements for Queenie as well.

However, these were common gifts, so Jack and Queenie would certainly receive a lot of them. They

would not stand out...

Luca thought to herself that although she could not reveal her identity, she did not want to be like

everyone else. She recalled Queenie’s favorite exquisite decorations, so she walked into another

store that specialized in selling decorations.

According to her knowledge of Queenie, she selected some decorations that matched her taste.

Finally, she chose a set of clothes for Jack and Queenie.

She walked into the restaurant while carrying several bags full of things.

After telling them Nina's table number, the waiter led her to the table.

Nina saw the things in her hand and said with astonishment, “Luca, you said you were just buying

some stuff. Why did you buy so much?”

“Are these a lot? I think they're a reasonable amount.” Luca sat in the other seat and greeted

Queenie with a smile, “Good evening, Aunt Queenie.”

“Good evening...” Queenie noticed Luca's bland expression. The absence of surprise and annoyance

made her relieved.

She thought that Luca delayed her arrival to avoid seeing her.

After seeing the bags in her hand, Queenie knew that Nina was not lying to her and Luca had really

gone shopping.

After Luca sat down, Queenie felt the need to apologize for what had happened last night, so she

opened her mouth and said, “Luca, yesterday—"

Luca knew what she was about to say, so she quickly interrupted her, “Aunt Queenie, it's New Year's

soon, so I bought some gifts for you and Mr. Norman. Here, take all of these.”

She handed all the bags in her hand to Queenie.

Queenie was taken aback. “So many?”

“I didn't buy a lot. It's just that there are many bags. There's nothing expensive inside them. Just

take them and think of them as New Year's gifts for you two.” Luca put the bags by Queenie’s side.

Queenie looked at the bags full of things. She recognized all the logos on them as they were all

well-known brands.

The cheapest things sold at these stores were still considered expensive for the average family.

“Luca, these...”

"Aunt Queenie, they're Luca's token of appreciation. Just accept them. If you don't, Luca will feel

bad.” Nina suddenly helped Luca out.
