Chapter 219 He Wants Her to Make That Important Life Decision
After the waiters served all the dishes, they left the private restaurant room.
The restaurant’s service was personalized. The owner did not believe that the customer was always
right, and it was up to her if she wanted to serve those that came through the doors.
Her customers were either regulars or those whose personalities and mannerisms were to the owner's
satisfaction. Of course, they had to be able to afford the food there too. Anyone rude or boorish would
not be able to taste the spectacular food of that restaurant.
Shakira Neile, the owner, had a temperamental character. She had offended many people in her
career, especially the nouveau riche who had money but no manners.
She could afford to offend those people. Her husband and son were influential VIPs.
Bianca took a few bites and turned to feed Rainie, who was clinging onto her and causing her heart to
melt out of tenderness. Even if Rainie threw a tantrum and did not want to eat the delicious food served
on the table, she would ditch Luke and Lanie so that she could go home and cook for her.
"You should eat this too, Miss Bea. It's sweet!" Rainie mumbled as she chewed the food in her mouth
and stared at Bianca with her big eyes.
Bianca smiled. With her fingers, she wiped away some sauce on one corner of Rainie's mouth.
The female restaurant owner came into the room once more.
Luke was taken aback. It was not appropriate for outsiders to step into the room when the family was
having a meal.

Shakira coughed gently. She knew that it was abrupt for her to intrude upon the family's mealtime, and
it was not her usual style to impose her seniority upon others.
However, she could not hold back her curiosity when Bianca's face reminded her of a younger
Queenie!
Shakira pulled a chair, sat down casually, and looked at Bianca. "How is the food, Bianca? Does it suit
your tastes?" She asked.
"It's delicious. I can see why you're so famous."
Earlier, Luke had brought her up to speed about why it was so difficult for a typical person to eat at that
restaurant.
Shakira nodded satisfactorily. She paused for a bit and asked the question she had been dying to ask,
"I'm curious, Bianca, how old are you?" "I'll be turning twenty-four this year," Bianca answered truthfully,
though she did not know why the middle-aged woman asked her that.
There was no reason to keep her age a secret.
"Twenty-four..." Shakira mumbled, seemingly lost in thought.
'Was it twenty-four years ago when Queenie bore her first child?' Shakira was not sure because it had
been too long ago.
However, that child did not survive.
That was the lowest point in Queenie and Jack's lives. Shakira was Queenie's classmate and best
friend, but she never asked Queenie how they lost the child.
After that, Queenie never bore a child.
Jack came from an illustrious family with a political background. The elders could not tolerate not
having an heir.
Shakira did not know how the matter was eventually resolved. However, she heard later that Jack
admitted to his parents that he had become infertile. The lack of a child had nothing to do with his wife.
Shakira had been classmates with Queenie since elementary school. She knew about Queenie's
pregnancy. On the day that Queenie found out that she was pregnant, they even went to the hospital
together to confirm it.
When Jack found out that his fiancee was pregnant, he started making preparations for the wedding,
even moving forward the wedding day that the family had decided for him.
After the marriage, Queenie and Jack left for overseas.
After that, her child was gone. She dared not ask if the child was stillborn or miscarried.
Queenie had never been pregnant after that.
When she looked at Bianca's face, Shakira could not help but wonder if Queenie had given birth to the
child, but the child was abducted.
'Is Bianca Queenie's child?'
While thinking about the matter in the kitchen, Shakira did not believe that there would be such a
coincidence. However, she remembered a news report she saw on TV a few days ago -- A young man
accidentally found out that he was very fond of spicy food, but his parents were from the north of the
country and had never eaten spicy food. On a whim, he decided to investigate his background and
found out that he was adopted...
If there could be such a coincidence, then there was a slim chance that Bianca might be Queenie's
child. Shakira thought that she would not be able to sleep if she did not ask the question.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQueenie was her best friend and confidant. She could not bear to see Queenie suffer. Perhaps
Queenie's life would be complete if she could be reunited with her birth daughter.
"Aunt Neile?" Luke could not help but open his mouth when he saw the scene.
"Ah?" Shakira came to her senses. She paused for a while and smiled sheepishly. "You should know
how critical your mother can be, Luke. Even if Bianca is the two children's birth mother, I don't suppose
your mother can look at them with her diamond-encrusted eyes."
The people in the room, including Luke, Bianca, and even the two children knew Allison's personality
very well.
However, Allison was never an obstacle between Luke and Bianca.
If Bianca wanted it, no one else could sway Luke's decision to claim her as his woman.
Shakira looked at Bianca again. "Pardon me, Bianca. I'm not saying that you're not a match for Luke,
but Luke's mother isn't someone you can afford to cross. I thought that you might be too nice, and
that's why Allison Tanner might not be fond of you. Can I ask you another thing, Bianca? What do your
parents do?"
That was the real question that Shakira wanted to ask.
She had to preface with another question so that she did not seem too intrusive.
At that moment, what Shakira hoped that Bianca would say was, "I'm an orphan. I don't know who my
parents are."
If that were the case, there would be a possibility that Bianca was Queenie's birth daughter. The
chance might be extremely slim, but there was hope nonetheless.
Luke looked at Bianca, concerned that Bianca might feel awkward. He was about to make up an
excuse when Bianca replied, "My father is a menial worker. As for my mother, I've never seen her
before..."
