Chapter 1227 They Used to Call Her “Bea”

Luca was busy for the rest of the day. She wanted to work overtime when she remembered what she had promised Luke the day before.

Her phone began to ring when it was time to go off work. She recognized that the string of numbers was Queenie's phone number.

Luca answered the call. "Hello."

It was the first time she had received a call from Queenie, so she had to pretend that she did not know who the other person was.

Queenie could not help but be emotional when she heard that slightly familiar voice. "Is this Ms. Craw?"

"Yes, I am. Are you Mrs. Norman?" Tears welled up in Luca's eyes as she listened to the voice.

When she had first reunited with Queenie, Queenie's voice was slightly quivering, just like how it was now.

"Yes, yes I am. Do you remember me?" Queenie was shocked that the woman recognized her voice in just one sentence.

"Your voice is very gentle and friendly," Luca said. "Also, you sound a lot more energetic. Are you feeling better now?"

"I'm feeling a lot better, and it's all thanks to your concoction," Queenie said as she held the phone in her hands tightly.

Jack was sitting next to her. "Get to the main point," he reminded her.

Queenie remembered why she had called Luca. She said, "Oh, right, I was so excited that I nearly forgot why I called you. Ms. Craw, my husband and I would like to thank you in person, so we asked Luke to invite you for dinner. Do you remember?"

"Yes, I remember. I'll head over after I pack up," Luca said as she wiped the tears that were flowing from her eyes with a napkin.

"Luke got someone to drive you there. You can go downstairs now; the car is waiting for you," Queenie said.

Luca had a headache when Queenie mentioned Luke's name. "It's fine, Mrs. Norman. I can catch a cab."

"It's the evening rush hour now, and you won't be able to catch a cab that easily. Luke's car is already waiting downstairs. You don't have to refuse," Queenie said eagerly.

Luca was silent. It looked like she could not find an excuse.

"Alright," she replied. She sighed after the call ended; all she wanted was to keep a distance from Luke.
