Chapter 220
Chapter 220 Do You Want to Be My Daddy's Wife, Miss Bea?
Luke looked at Bianca and tried to discern her feelings.
When Luke was a child, he did not have his father and mother by his side. However, he knew that his mother was the one who sent him to an orphanage.
In those few years living in the orphanage, his mother had visited him a few times. Back then, he had several questions.
’Who is my father?
’Why does my father never cto see me?
’Does my father want me?’
Luke knew how it felt to be abandoned, and that was why he wanted to shower all his love and care on Bianca.
However, he knew that he could never match the love and care given by one's parents.
Bianca had never met her mother.
Like Rainie sitting next to her and Lanie sitting opposite her, they had always eagerly hoped that their mother would appear in their lives and love them.
Unfortunately, Bianca's mother never appeared, even until the day she beca mother herself...
Lanie was sitting next to his father and eating his meal like a gentleman. At that moment, he lifted his head to look solemnly at Miss Bea sitting opposite him.
That was when he found out that Miss Bea did not have a mother either, just like him and Rainie.

Her heart had been in her throat after asking that question. She hoped that her questions had not been a waste of everyone's time. Unfortunately, she realized that she had been too sensitive and that she had perhaps gone overboard in an attempt to help her best friend find her child!
However, Bianca said that she had never met her mother...
When Shakira heard that, she could not tell if she was excited or relieved.
"Why haven't you met your mother?"
Shakira followed up with another question and stared unblinkingly at Bianca.
Bianca was feeding Rainie another spoonful of food. Her hand froze when she heard that question, and she wondered why Aunt Neile was asking her about personal matters.
"I've never known you to be a gossip, Aunt Neile," Luke interjected appropriately and stopped Shakira's interrogation.
No one would appreciate a stranger dredging their painful pasts, including Bianca, who was grateful for Luke’s interjection.
However, Shakira did not seem as though she was giving up. She looked at Luke with a concerned expression and said, "You should know that I’m not on speaking terms with your mother anymore. Now that I've met an enemy of my enemy, you can see why I'm so fond of her."
The "enemy” was, of course, Allison Tanner.
The "enemy of an enemy" naturally referred to Bianca, whom Allison disliked.
Bianca fed Rainie slightly sauteed but incredibly flavorful broccoli and said, "Here, take another bite.'
Rainie lifted her head and looked at Bianca while she chewed on the broccoli. Her eyes were brimming with concern toward her Miss Bea.
She wanted to comfort Bianca, but too many people were around...
On the other hand, Bianca thought that Shakira knew Allison very well. Not only did Allison dislike her, but one could also say that she hated her.
"Enemy" was an appropriate description.
"Don't be a stranger, Bianca. You should chere more often. I'll cook for you whatever you want to eat. Also, if Allison Tanner bullies you, you can letknow, and I'll stand up for you."
As Shakira spoke, she subconsciously reached out and held Bianca's hand.
Bianca lowered her head and dazedly watched Shakira pat the back of her hand...
Now that Luke had spoken, Shakira knew that she should not stay in the room for too long.
However, knowing the fact that Bianca had never met her mother before was immensely useful to her...
"Enjoy your meal then. I won't disturb you. Look at how sullen you are, Luke, as though I'm snatching your wife," Shakira teased, then got up and went out of the room.
"Wife?" Lanie was stunned.
His big and round eyes darted between Luke and Bianca. "Miss Bea, are you going to marry my Daddy?" He said, though his face was blushing.
Rainie also turned to look at Bianca with anticipation.
Bianca hugged Rainie closer, in case she fell down.
"I want you to be my Mommy, Miss Bea. We can be a family with Daddy and Lanie..." Rainie said.
Meanwhile, the serious man, who was eating his lunch, lifted his head and looked at Bianca when he heard the question. His gaze was profoundly intense.
Bianca's grip on Rainie's hand subconsciously bectighter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wanted to live together with Lanie and Rainie. She hoped that she could personally take care of Lanie and Rainie, and perhaps even make up for lost time...
At that time, a black Mercedes Benz drove away from the restaurant.
Luke's profound gaze reflexively looked at the direction of the sound. He saw Shakira's car driving away.
On a certain street in A City.
Shakira sat in the black Mercedes Benz, wearing a tan-colored coat. She took out her phone from the black brand-nhandbag next to her and dialed a number.
The n"Leia Norman" appeared on her screen.
Leia was on an outdoor set shooting a film.
She was stepping out of her RV parked next to a forest path. "Hello, Aunt Neile. Is there anything?" She picked up the call and asked.
Shakira was happy for Queenie when she heard Leia's sweet voice. Even though Queenie had lost her birth daughter, she was fortunate to have a kind and caring adopted daughter.
"It's like this. I want to ask a few things about your mother's past and maybe a favor, but I don't think it's convenient to talk over the phone. Are you free for a short meeting?"
Leia stopped walking, and so did Marie behind her.
"I'll share my location, Aunt Neile. You can get the driver to drive over. I'll be here shooting a film this afternoon, and I can't leave." "Alright. Send it over." Shakira ended the call after she said that.
The production crew was setting up the film set in the forest.
As Leia shared her location with Shakira, she could not help but wonder why her Aunt Neile looked for her.
'What does she want to know about Mom?'
It would be another hour before Shakira arrived. Leia took off her coat, then went toward the film set surrounded by make-up artists and production assistants.
Marie looked at the camera and felt incredibly excited. She wondered when Leia would introduce her to the who's who into the industry.
As she held the coat that Leia passed to her, she considered that Leia would be shooting for a very long time. Even though Marie was a nobody, she was not going to stand there and wait in the cold.
