Chapter 2630 There Were So Many Things He Kept From Her

“It was my request.” admitted Jack, clearing his throat. “On the first day we were admitted to the

hospital, I woke up and asked Dr. Park not to let her in. I was worried she'd disturb you.”

“Dear, you knew Leia had something to do with this on the first day, didn't you?” speculated

Quennie.

“Yes.” nodded Jack. “That's why I asked them to stop her from coming in. I was worried she'd

continue to hurt you.”

Queenie let out a long, deep sigh. “I understand. I'll leave this to you.”

Jack and Luke exchanged glances with each other.

Queenie seemed to have dealt with it better than they had expected.

“I'm tired,” said Queenie.

Luke nodded. He had told her everything and told her everything she should have known too.

"Have a good rest. We're leaving.” Luke turned to look at Luca

"Drive safe.” Jack walked them to the wardroom door and watched them leave, only then did he

turn around to look at Queenie, who was lost in her thoughts.

Queenie appeared to be calm in front of Luke and Luca before, but as her husband, Jack knew her

well.

“I'm getting off work. Rest well,” said Johann, leaving the room too.

After Johann left, Queenie turned to the caretaker, “You don't have to stay here tonight. Go back

and rest.”

“Mrs. Norman..." The caretaker hesitated.

“Bring me some peanut butter oatmeal tomorrow. The oatmeal in the hospital doesn't taste good,”

said Queenie to the caretaker.

“Sure. Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, rest well.” The maid left the wardroom and closed the door.

There were only the two of them left in the wardroom.

"Queen, are you mad?” asked Jack. After all, there were so many things he kept from her.

Jack promised her that he would never lie on the day he married her.

However, he had been hiding many things from her for her own good.

There was Leia's matter, and Bianca's...

“Dear, you did it for me, right?” There was sadness in Queenie’s eyes. She tried so hard to be calm in

front of the others, but she could no longer stay calm in front of the man she loved the most.

"Yes. There's so much I didn't tell you. They're for your own good. Queen, you shouldnt worry so

much.” Jack walked toward her and wrapped his arms around her shoulder.

Queenie rested her head on his shoulder. “In the end, I've failed as a mother. I've never thought of

harming Leia, but Leia... Forget about it. I'll leave it to you, and I'll cooperate with you all.”

Now, she had finally understood why Jack refused to leave the hospital.

It was because the VIP wardroom could hide them well, shielding their condition from the eyes of

others. Leia could not come in here. She could only wait anxiously.

The move that Jack and Luke had made was a big but smart one.

"Queen, everything will be fine.” Jack knew what Queenie had in mind. Only Luca could make

Queenie feel better now.

He hoped Luke would settle all these troubles soon. Then, Luca could confess her true identity and

come back to them.

“I hope so,” replied Queenie. Something came across her mind and she turned to look at him, “Is

there something else you're still hiding from me?”

“Yes.” nodded Jack. “But I promise I'll tell you in the future.”

“Alright. You must tell me after everything's settled.” Queenie knew there must be a reason why Jack

chose not to tell her.

Queenie was not as capable as they were. The only thing she could do was to not cause any more

trouble.

Hence, Jack chose to hide these from her to stop her from overthinking.

She understood.

On the other hand.

After Luke and Luca left the hospital, they did not head home right away. Instead, he sat in the

driver's seat and asked Luca, “Would you like to have supper?”

"Huh?" Luca was surprised. Luke did not have the habit of having supper back then. “Are you

hungry?”

“I didn’t have enough for dinner.” Luke made an excuse. It was not that he did not have enough, but

he wanted to spend some time alone with her.

It was a rare opportunity.

The maid was looking after the kids. They did not have to rush back home. Thus, they should seize

the chance to spend some time together.

"Are you craving anything?” Luca picked up her phone and opened the map. She wanted to see if

there was anything they could eat nearby.

“Let me see.” Luke paused for a moment. The first thing that came into his mind was Luca's

homemade burger.

However, the kids were not in bed yet. If they went back home, it would not be only the two of

them.

Not to mention Lanie and Rainie, Tommy was the clingiest one among the three of them.

Luca looked at the recommendations on her phone, “There's a French restaurant in front of us. I

heard that the food there tasted good. Why don't we give it a try?”

“Sure.” nodded Luke and took Luca's phone from her to see where the location was. Then, he drove

in the direction of the French restaurant.

After they parked the car, the two of them walked into the French restaurant.

Many people were dining in the restaurant.

The waiter led them to a table in the corner of the restaurant and had them seated.

Luke took the menu from the waiter and handed it to Luca. “See if there's anything you'd like to

order.”

Luca took it from him. She could not help but ask, “Aren“t you hungry? You're the one who's

supposed to order.”

“I'm fine with anything. Order something you like.” Luke knew Luca would always prefer something

light. French cuisine would suit her well.

Luca ticked a few dishes that seemed promising on the menu with a pencil. Taking Luke's taste

preferences into account, she ordered a few sauces and creams.

“Done. Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like to order?” Luca handed the menu to him.

Luke noticed that Luca ordered some sauces and asked, “Why did you order the sauces?”

“French dishes are usually more healthy and lighter. I'm worried that you can't get used to it,”

answered Luca.

Luke gave her a faint smile and let her order anything she wished. Then, he ordered some dessert.

The waiter sized the two of them up. He could not help but secretly exclaim how pleased he was to

see a handsome man sitting together with a gorgeous woman. Besides, the woman was such a

considerate woman. How could one not love her?

They were a well-matched couple.

“That's all." Luke handed the menu to the waiter.

"Okay. Monsieur, Madame, please have some water. Let me send your orders to the kitchen.” The

waiter took the menu from them and strode off.

Twenty minutes later, the waiter served the dishes they ordered.

They ordered some classic French dishes. They looked fancy and appetizing.

Luke poured her a glass of lemonade, “Try this.”

Luca nodded. She picked up the spoon, grabbed a piece of chicken cordon bleu, and placed it on

Luke's plate. “You too.”

"Sure." Luke picked up his fork and knife and took a bite.

The waiter who stood beside them smiled and asked, “Monsieur, Madame, our restaurant is new in

the city. We'd like to know some customer reviews about the taste preferences here. What do you

think about our food?"

“Authentic,” replied Luke. He went on a business trip to France before and had authentic French

cuisine there.

The food served was good indeed. At least it was authentic French cuisine. They did not make any

changes to the food recipe to cater to the taste preferences of the people here.
