Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1018

Chapter 1018 She Could Not Say No

Queenie put her hand gently on the back of Leia's hand and said softly," Leia."

Leia snapped out of it. Dark thoughts filled her head the moment she saw Luke. If Queenie did not call out to her, she might still be staring.

"Mom, what's the matter?" She deliberately acted as though she was aggrieved to gain pity from Queenie.

Queenie asked, "Aren't you supposed to be on your way to look for the wedding planner to go through the itinerary with Brody? Did you get into a fight?" "It's nothing. We just had a mild disagreement about the wedding." Leia wiped the corner of her eyes and pretended to tear up.

Queenie sighed. Leia was pregnant but Brody left her downtown because of a small fight. It was clear to Queenie that Brody was not a dependable man. "Why didn’t you try to talk things through? It won't do your marriage any good if you get into a fight every tthere's a disagreement. Look at your sister and brother-in-law! They always talk their way through issues. I don’t remember the last tthey fought."

Bianca and Luke rarely fought. When Tommy heard his grandmother boasting about his parents, he smiled and said, "Lanie said that Daddy and Mommy are soul mates who never fight."

Bianca was overjoyed to hear what Tommy said. She had a big smile on her face as she reached out to touch his head.

Leia endured the fury in her heart, pursed her mouth, and said, "My relationship with Brody is wonderful but the preparation tfor the wedding is too short. I’m under a lot of pressure, so I couldn't

hold my temper when we got into a disagreement. Mom, you know me, this isn't the real me. If it weren't for my pregnancy and the pressure of planning the wedding, I wouldn't have acted like that..."

As she said that, she pushed out her belly to highlight that she was still a pregnant woman.

Queenie sighed to express her helplessness.

There was only so much she could do.

Leia wiped her tears and said, "Even now, I don't have a flower girl, I haven't tried on the wedding dress, and I'm working on the guest list and invitations at the stime. There's so much to do!"

Queenie looked at her with distress, held her hand, and tried to coax her." Okay, don't cry. It's not great for the child if you cry." "Mom..." Seeing Queenie's reaction, Leia seized the opportunity and grabbed her chest to act weak. "Mom, can you ask Bianca to help me? I don’t know if it's because I'm pregnant but I feel out of breath when I get overwhelmed."

Bianca was stunned when she heard her nbeing mentioned. 'Leia is askingto help?’

Bianca was well aware of how much Leia hated her so it did not make sense that she would ask her for help.

Queenie did not expect it as well and shook her head. "Bea has a lot of things on her plate recently. Leia, what about your friends? They can help too."

When Leia saw that Queenie was being so upfront, she replied, "They're all in showbiz and are busier than me. What's Bea doing? Is it because of the break-in? Bea, since you're not the one who's investigating the matter, you should be free, right?"

Bianca met Leia's gaze and sighed in her heart. Leia was so spoiled by Queenie that she did not know how to be a decent human being.

"When I have the time, I'll help." She skillfully phrased her sentence in a hypothetical manner. After all, they were family and it would not be nice to turn her down directly.

Bianca thought to herself that Leia would not be so stupid to ask her for help as her presence might make things worse.

After she said that, Luke squeezed her hand to show that he was disagreeing with her decision.

Bianca smiled bitterly in her heart as she knew that she had no choice. She could not turn down her sister's request in front of their parents.

Leia smiled sweetly when she heard Bianca's reply. She said, "Thank you, Sister."

Her gaze fell on Rainie and Blanche. The children would not be allowed to live when Bianca was dealt with. Leia continued and said, "Bea, I still need flower children and I think that Rainie and Blanche are the best people for the job. They’re so cute and will be even more adorable when they wear a suit and a dress. The twins may also bringluck. Maybe my second pregnancy with Brody will be twins."

Blanche was repulsed as he looked at Leia's 'innocent' gaze. Neither he nor his sister liked Leia.

Blanche was not afraid that he would be reprimanded for being impolite and turned Leia down before the adults could speak. "Aunt Leia, Rainie and I are too old to be your flower children. On top of that, as my dad always says that we should focus on our studies and lead by example for our younger brother."

They were indeed a little old to be flower children, but Leia insisted and said, "That’s okay. Both of you are cute and beautiful. All you have to do is go shopping for clothes and rehearse the day before the actual day. It's not a big deal. Blanche, I trust that you won't turn down your aunt?" "Aunt Leia, we’re not interested in being your flower children. You should look for other children. Lanie, Tommy, and I will attend the ceremony as guests." Rainie made their stance clear and made sure Tommy would be protected from her as well.

They had never been a fan of Leia and did not want to be her flower children.

Leia's smile froze. She did not expect that the kids would be more difficult to deal with than their mother.

Her grandson had politely refused but Queenie was worried that Leia would keep on demanding, so she stepped in and said, "My friend has two grandchildren who are at the appropriate age. Leia, why not have them be your flower children?"

Since Queenie had already offered, Leia knew that there was nothing she could do about it. 'As long as I get Bianca, the three of them will be orphans who won't know what's coming for them!'

The private room was no longer harmonious because of Leia's presence.

After they were done with the meal, Luke got the bill and left with his wife and daughter after using work as an excuse.

Blanche apologized when they got in the car. “Daddy, Mommy, I'm sorry."

Bianca turned back to look at her son and wondered why he was suddenly apologizing. She asked him, "Lanie, what's the matter?" "Lanie and I don’t want to be Aunt Leia's flower children and turned her down before you and Daddy could say anything," Rainie explained.

Bianca smiled. She knew that her children disliked Leia. She would never force them to do things they did not want to.

"You've grown up and are allowed to have your own opinions. You don't need to apologize." Bianca was pleased that they could think for themselves but still considered her and Luke's feelings.

"Thank you, Mommy and Daddy." Blanche thanked them. His parents' understanding made him feel less guilty.

Luke also chimed in, "You did the right thing just now."

As he said that, he glanced at Bianca. Bianca knew what he was thinking about.

Bianca smiled helplessly and knew that she should not have agreed to Leia. However, she had made a promise. Her only option was to bite the bullet. 3

Others might not think too much about it if a kid refused an adult’s request.

However, Leia was her sister in name. If she refused, Leia would use it against her the next time.

Old Master Crawford had told her that everything she did was a representation of Luke, so she needed to evaluate all her decisions carefully.

The Hiltons were well-known in A City. Leia had used the wedding as an excuse to make a demand so Bianca could not say no.
