Chapter 2884 Defend Her Child's Marriage

Luca sat in the car driven by Luke, and they arrived at Norman Residence.

After the maid opened the door for them, they each carried a bag and walked into the house.

When they passed through the garden, Luca noticed the withered leaves of the climbing roses in

the front yard and slightly frowned.

"What's wrong with these flowers?" asked Luca. The roses should be lush and in full bloom at this

time, but they looked like wild grass in the mountains now. They were withering, not even a whisper

of life could be seen in them.

The maid glanced at the roses and explained helplessly, "The roses are sick. They're delicate and

require careful care to bloom well. But Mrs. Norman hasn't been in a good mood lately. The flowers

have been neglected, so they became like this.”

The maid did not know much about flower care either. Thus, she could not take care of the garden's

plants for Queenie.

Luca nodded, indicating that she understood.

The Norman family initially had a gardener, but after Queenie’s health improved, she had been

personally taking care of the garden.

Now that she was in a bad mood, she did not have the heart to tend to the garden, and naturally,

the flowers could not thrive.

As Luca looked at the wilted yellow leaves on the roses without any buds, she no longer felt joyful

over the arrival of spring. Instead, it was replaced by desolation.

Luca understood that Queenie’s heart had been deeply hurt by Leia

She did not say anything and continued walking forward.

Before they reached the house, they could hear the children’s laughter. Luca and Luke exchanged

glances with each other and understood each other's thoughts.

Zander had brought all three children over.

As they entered the house, Tommy rushed over with a joyful expression on his face. He came in

front of them before they could say anything. "Dad, Ms. Luca, you're here!"

At the same time, Queenie also turned around and saw Luke and Luca standing side by side. Her

eyebrows slightly furrowed as she noticed how close they were.

However, she did not say anything. She relaxed her brows and put on a gentle smile. "Luke, Luca,

you're here.”

"Yes, Mom. I brought Luca here too. She's here to check your pulse and give you a check-up." Luke

took the bag from Luca's hand and placed both bags on the coffee table.

Queenie noticed his concern for Luca. A fleeting shadow of worry flashed across her eyes, but she

did not show it. Instead, she smiled and looked at the two of them. "I'm feeling much better now.

You don't need to go through all this trouble.”

"Grandma, just let Ms. Luca help you with the check-up,” Rainie softly chimed in as though she was

coaxing a little child.

Before Queenie could speak, Lanie went along. "Yes. Grandpa said you're not feeling well. Let Ms.

Luca take a look at you."

Queenie felt a mix of joy and an inexplicable concern when she heard what the two children said to

her.

She was pleased that the kids genuinely cared for her.

However, she was concerned that the children had developed such a strong bond with Luca. It

reminded her of Bianca, who was still overseas. If she were to return one day and find that the kids

were all closer to Luca, what would she do?

Kids did not have a clear sense of what was right and wrong. When they got close to someone, it

was based solely on their own preferences.

Bianca's amnesia had caused her personality to become erratic, and she was no longer close to the

children. Furthermore, she had been abroad for such a long time, and no one had heard that she

had any contact with the children.

As Queenie thought about this, she became more and more worried

Still, when she looked at the expressions on the kids’ faces, she nodded and agreed, "Alright, alright.

Thank you, Luca."

"It's nothing, Mrs. Norman. Please have a seat.” Luca sensed that Queenie's mood seemed a bit odd.

Hence, she glanced at the man beside her and immediately sat down on the couch.

Queenie nodded. She let go of Rainie’s hand and sat on the sofa, resting her hand on the armrest

for Luca to take her pulse.

Luca began taking Queenie's pulse. After a couple of minutes, she paused for a moment and said,

"Mrs. Norman, I've bought some herbs that can be added to soups and dishes for you and Mr.

Norman. They're good for your health.”

"Okay, okay.” Queenie nodded and glanced at the two bags of herbs.

Even though she had her doubts, Luca had undeniably proven herself to be genuinely caring toward

them.

However, could being kind to them make her overlook her own daughter's happiness?

Queenie already felt guilty for Bianca for not being able to provide her with a healthy and happy

environment. She had endured so much suffering at such a young age.

If she could not defend her child's marriage now, she would truly be a failed mother.

Queenie's heart was heavy. She had already failed once. She could not let Bianca experience the

same...

"Thank you so much, Luca. You're truly thoughtful.” Queenie thought as she held onto Luca's hand.

Luca shook her head, feeling guilty. Her parents had matters to attend to, and she could not be by

their side to do her duty as their daughter.

She wanted to do more, but there was not much opportunity for her to do so.

Luca shook her head again and took a neatly folded piece of paper out of her pocket. She handed it

to the maid who stood nearby. "Madam, these are recipes. You can make them two or three days a

week when you're cooking. You can prepare dishes based on Mr. and Mrs. Norman's preferences for

the rest of the time.”

The maid quickly took the paper from her. She had seen how good Luca was during this period.

Hence, she asked, "Ms. Craw, can the others have these besides Mr. and Mrs. Norman?"

"These recipes are meant for nourishing the body. Apart from young children, everyone else can

have them. But it's best not to take them every day. Too much nourishment can also be detrimental

to health.” Luca understood what she meant.

These recipes were available online, but most people would not think of adding herbs into their

meals. That was why many were unaware about them.

She knew that Queenie disliked the bitterness of herbal medicine. Hence, she carefully chose recipes

and ingredients to suit her taste.

These recipes were suitable for those who did not like the bitterness of herbal medicine, so the

majority of people could take it.

"Alright. I'll prepare the meals for Mr. and Mrs. Norman every two or three days.” The maid looked

at the recipes written by Luca on the paper.

Her handwriting was neat. There were so many recipes that it would take some time to go through

them all.

After a quick glance, the maid also noticed that the ingredients that Mr. and Mrs. Norman disliked

and should avoid were not on the list.

She could not help but secretly exclaim. She had no idea whether Luca just so happened to avoid

the ingredients that the couple did not like or if she genuinely understood their tastes.

Either way, this collection of recipes was filled with thoughtfulness.

Jack was making his way down the stairs. Joy flickered in his eyes the moment he saw Luca.

He was delighted to see his beloved daughter. He walked toward them with a smile on his face,

casting aside the seriousness he usually showed in front of others. Instead, he became warm and

enthusiastic. "Luca, you're here."

"Yes, Mr. Norman. I'm here to check Mrs. Norman's pulse. Oh, and I brought some medicinal herbs

with me. You should come home more often for meals. The dishes made from these herbs are good

for your health.” Luca smiled sweetly, but she noticed the increase of white hair at Jack's temples.

Perhaps he was stressed out over Leia’s situation...

Leia had caused a lot of trouble over the past while.

She heard Luke mention that Jack supported the idea of sending Leia to prison for rehabilitation.
