Even though Leia had locked herself in her room, she might not be able to stay completely silent.

Moreover, Tommy was a curious child. If he realized that something was amiss, he would tell Luke about it.

When Queenie thought about that, she smiled gently to mask the unease in her heart. “The playroom was sterilized earlier this morning, and the smell of disinfectant is still quite strong. I don’t think you should go in there. What do you want to play? I’ll go and get it for you.”

Tommy shook his head when he heard that. “It’s okay, Grandma. I’ll watch cartoons instead.”

“Alright. I’ll turn the TV on for you.” Queenie breathed a sigh of relief. The child was well-behaved.

Luke looked at her, then at the stairs. He guessed that Leia was hiding upstairs.

Otherwise, Queenie would not stop Tommy from going up.

Luca also knew what was going on, and she did not say anything, including the fact that she had been to the Norman household earlier in the day.

Queenie turned on the television. The three children sat on the couch and bothered no one. She breathed a sigh of relief again, stood up, and said, ”I’ll go and get some dessert for you.”

At the same time, Luke stood up and said, “Mom, I’ve heard from Dad that he acquired an antique inkwell lately. Is it in the study?”

Queenie stopped walking. The study was upstairs.

“I think so? I’ve heard him mention it, but I’m not too familiar with antiques. Why don’t you wait for him before going upstairs?” She suggested, trying to stall Luke for as long as possible.

“Alright.” Luke was not planning on entering Jack’s study without his permission anyway. There might be top-secret documents inside.

However, Luke did not sit down, which made Queenie worried. She asked, “Luke, do you want to go anywhere?”

Luke looked at her. “The bathroom.”

Queenie nodded. “Alright.”
