Chapter 493 Queenie's Heart Skipped A Beat When She Saw Them

A City in the evening was as bustling as usual. The luxury car drove on the road at a moderate speed.

Luke would be sending Leia hpersonally.

The man's side profile was impeccable. He waited at the traffic light without saying a word.

As Leia looked out of the window at the crossroad traffic, her lips were curled upward in secret delight.

It was only about an hour's drive from Crawford Manor to the Norman residence. Even so, she was happy to be with Luke even for one minute.

Luke's hands were on the steering wheel as he waited patiently for the traffic light to turn green. He looked straight ahead. "I wonder what your grandmother likes, Ms. Norman. I didn't have much tto prepare her present, so I plan to give her a genuine Rousseau painting from my collection. I hope she will like it."

Leia said gently, "My Grandma is the sas Grandpa; they both like to collect famous paintings. She'll definitely love your present. Thank you for attending Grandma's birthday party, and I apologize for the extra expense."

Leia desired for Luke to attend her grandmother's birthday party. If they appeared at the venue together, they would be the most popular couple.

Luke stared at Leia's delicate face intently and suddenly smiled. "Do you like me, Ms. Norman?"

Leia's heart thumped hard, though her voice remained gentle. "You should've realized that, right, Luke? I thought I've made my intentions obvious enough... Haven't you realized what I've done for you? There

was once where I sent you chicken soup every day, and now I often go to Crawford Manor. I want to be friends with everyone in the Crawford family, and it's all because of you..."

Leia looked at the man eagerly, though she could not help but feel diffident and helpless.

The determination in her clear eyes was evident.

Luke turned his head slightly, and his penetrating gaze stared straight at Leia's soul. "Do you like me that much? I guess I'm a lucky man."

The twinkling street lights outside illuminated Luke's handsface, giving his sculpted features a hint of mystery.

Leia was all too obsessed with his perfect face.

Being in the entertainment industry, she had seen all sorts of handsmen: cool ones, gentle ones, and funny ones. However, the man seemed to combine every positive aspect of those men.

He was like a riddle that Leia was willing to devote the rest of her life to solving.

A hint of disgust rose in Luke's eyes when he saw how Leia was staring at him without speaking.

However, he managed to hide his true emotions well. "If you likethat much, how about we try dating each other?" His voice was resonant and charming.

'What?'

It was the first tthat Leia had lost control of her emotions in front of Luke. Her mouth was opened so wide that she could fit an egg inside it." Did you just say... we try dating each other? I... I didn't mishear, right?" "You didn't mishear, Ms. Norman. It's just that normal women can't accept many of my quirks. I hope that you can forgivefor that, Ms. Norman." Luke smiled.

"Don't say that, Luke. You're the most outstanding man that I've ever seen. I've always wished that I could be by your side forever." Leia was trying to calm her breathing.

She even pinched her thigh hard.

When she winced from the pain on her thigh, she truly believed that Luke had said that he was going to date her.

She was still caught in a daze even after they arrived at the Norman residence. She only cto her senses when Luke brought her into the banquet hall, and everyone looked at her admiringly.

The Norman residence was usually quiet, but it was very lively today.

It might not be as crowded as Old Mr. Norman's birthday party a few months ago, but all the guests were there.

After all, those guests cbecause they wanted to suck up to Old Mr. Norman and Jack.

Leia held Luke's elbow and excitedly walked into the banquet hall. She felt as though the day's festivities were for them.

Old Mr. and Mrs. Norman were surprised when they saw their granddaughter cin with Luke, but they did not say anything.

However, Queenie was shocked when she saw that.

'What's going on?

'Didn't I tell Leia to stay away from that man? Why doesn't she listen to what I say?'

Old Mr. Norman knew that Bianca's rejection of Luke's proposal at the engagement ceremony was a humiliating event for the illustrious Crawford family. Old Master Crawford would definitely not be able to tolerate it.

He did not know what happened between Luke and Bianca, but she could never be part of the Crawford family, no matter how outstanding she might be.

On the other hand, he was quite satisfied with Luke's character. He had always wished that Luke would be part of his family.

Now that his granddaughter had brought Luke to the birthday party, and the couple seemed to be behaving intimately, he was satisfied that his somewhat unreliable granddaughter had finally done something to his satisfaction.

"Good evening, Old Mr. Norman, and happy birthday to you, Old Mrs. Norman. I hope you'll like the present I brought you." Luke handed a painting to Old Mrs. Norman.

"How considerate of you, Luke. How do you know that Rousseau is my favorite painter?" Old Mrs. Norman was a fan of Rousseau's animal paintings, i

She had a unique eye for appraisal, and she could tell that the painting was genuine.

She thought that no other artist could capture an animal's vivid character like Rousseau.

She carefully put the painting away and could not stop smiling. "Where did you find a genuine Rousseau? You're too kind!" "As long as you like it, Old Mrs. Norman. I happened to see it at an auction, and I bought it because I thought it looked quite good. I don’t know what to give you for your birthday, so I thought of giving you a painting. I didn't expect that it's from your favorite artist. I guess that I'm lucky," Luke said calmly.

"You're such a charmer, Luke. I think that you're the perfect match for my granddaughter. Since you're still single, how about you becmy grandson-in-law?" Old Mrs. Norman said earnestly while holding Luke's hand.
