Chapter 403

Queenie was very protective of Leia.

After losing her birth daughter, she had considered Leia to be her only daughter. She felt very sorry for Leia when she saw the aggrieved tears in her daughter's eyes. 1

She hugged Leia and said gently, "Can you tell me what happened, my daughter?"

Leia wanted to complain to her mother about how heartless Luke had been.

However, she was afraid that her complaints would cause her mother to be prejudiced against Luke. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Her gaze flashed, and she started sobbing. "Mom, I think Luke... doesn't like me. That Bianca isn't a pushover either. She embarrassed me in Crawford Manor earlier. She thinks that she's smarter than me, and she showed off her knowledge in front of Old Master Crawford. Even Old Master Crawford is favoring her more than me now... I really like Luke, Mom. He's the first man that I like. What should I do?"

Leia rested her head on Queenie's shoulder, and warm tears slid down her cheeks.

Queenie endearingly wiped her daughter's tears with a napkin. She could not bear to see her daughter being so sad.

Then, she handed her a cup of warm water and comforted her, "Be a good girl, Leia... Don't cry. If you like Luke, then I will help you make your wishes come true."

Leia held the cup and said pitifully, "I don't know if I did something wrong, but he doesn't seem to care about me. I still love him, and this love doesn't diminish just because he ignored me. Instead, it's like boiling water in a kettle, and I think that my situation is hopeless..."

Seeing the sparkle in Leia's eyes, Queenie could tell from experience that her daughter was irredeemably in love with Luke.

She felt sorry for her daughter, though she had to remain impartial. "There's nothing wrong with liking someone, not to mention that Luke hasn't married Bianca yet. However, if his heart is set on Bianca, we shouldn't try to step in between them. You're an outstanding girl, my daughter, and you shouldn't stoop to ruining other people's relationships..."

At first, Queenie thought that Bianca would not be an obstacle.

To her, Leia was better than Bianca in every way, no matter her looks, family background, or career. She believed that her daughter would easily captivate
