Chapter 3224 Drop That Idea

However, Leia had no talent for cooking at all. She never even attended the cooking classes she was signed up

for.

When Queenie tried to teach her, she could not stick with it and often complained about the heavy kitchen

smoke being bad for her skin. After that, she refused to go back in.

Thus, Queenie's wish to have Leia help out in the kitchen and create a warm mother- daughter cooking

experience never ctrue.

Fortunately, their beloved daughter had returned.

Luca felt someone watching them from behind. When she turned around, she saw it was Jack. She smiled

sweetly and said, "Mr. Norman, hurry up and wash your hands. Dinner's almost ready."

"Alright, alright," Jack responded quickly. This was his precious daughter, the one who truly inherited the best of

him and Queenie.

Seeing the joy on Jack's face, Queenie's smile widened as well. "Luca, if Mr. Norman's colleagues saw him like

this, they'd be shocked."

"Why?" Luca asked, puzzled.

"Unless he's with the public, Mr. Norman usually has a stem face. I've told him before that he might scare people

off with that expression. Do you know what he said?" Queenie started sharing stories about Jack.

Luca was curious. "What did he say?"

"He said his job is to serve the public, not to smile at people who don't deserve it. He believes he should only

show kindness to the public and remain stern with others to make sure they take their work seriously and don't

slack off," replied Queenie as she smiled with pursed lips.

Luca let out a chuckle.

Jack was the epitof a traditional strict father, especially with his military background. It made sense for him

to be serious.

However, most leaders nowadays tried to be approachable and friendly to appear likable.

Still, Jack was one of the rare ones who maintained a stem demeanor, which could be intimidating when he did

not put on a smile.

However, as long as he was dedicated to his work, it was a good approach. Luca agreed with Queenie that his

seriousness ensured his subordinates worked diligently for the public.

Jack, having washed his hands, heard the laughter from the kitchen. He could not help but walk into the kitchen

and ask, "What's so funny here?"

"We were talking about you." Queenie was in a good mood and started joking with him.

Jack maintained a serious expression. "No joking about the boss."

"Boss, we're at hnow. It's okay to joke a little. Don't worry, | won't tease you in public," Queenie teased him

as she picked up a bowl of soup to take outside. Jack took it from her. Lethandle that."

"Wow, the boss is helping out at hnow too," leased Queenie.

Jack's face turned red. He usually stayed out of the kitchen since he could not cook and did not want to get in

the way. Plus, he was often busy with work, so Queenie never asked him to help.

"Givescredit." Jack cleared his throat.

Queenie picked up a dish that Luca had just cooked and said in a lighthearted tone," Everyone knows you can't

cook. There's no need for credit here."

Jack, feeling a bit embarrassed, let out a soft cough. The maid walked in, saw the cheerful atmosphere, and

smiled contentedly.

Luca truly was the Norman family's lucky star. Ever since she arrived, the entire atmosphere of Norman

Residence changed.

Queenie no longer felt sad about Leia, and Jack's mood improved greatly. He lost his usual stern expression. All

these changes made the hfeel much warmer.

"The last dish is ready. We can eat now," Luca's voice cfrom the kitchen.

Queenie and Jack went in to help bring out the dishes.

The maid immediately chimed in, "Sir, Ma'am, please don't trouble yourselves. Lethandle it."

After washing her hands, she joined them in the kitchen to help serve the food.

Luca had prepared four dishes and a soup, all simple home-cooked meals, but they looked and smelled good.

Jack and Queenie enjoyed the meal thoroughly. After dinner, they wanted Luca to stay longer, but knowing that

she needed to get back to her kids, they got Luke to cover to pick her up.D(ram)a.6rg owns this

Luke arrived shortly after getting Luca's call, bringing two cans of tea for Jack.

Jack was overjoyed. He gratefully accepted the tea. After seeing them off, he turned to Queenie and said,

"Queen, what do you think about us moving?"

"Moving? What's with the sudden idea?" Queenie gave him a weird look. She had previously suggested they did

not need such a large villa after Leia went abroad as it felt empty and lonely, but Jack had disagreed.

He had said that for a leader like him, living in a villa was already extravagant. Even though it was his father's

property and he had reported it to his superiors, there were still people who

gossiped.

Moving to a new place would only fuel more rumors. He also liked the convenience and privacy of their current

home.

Queenie had given up on the idea of moving because of what he told him back then.

She never expected Jack to bring it up now.

"I just want to be closer to them," said Jack, still looking in the direction Luke's car had gone.

Queenie understood his feelings and

"I'm thinking about retiring," Jack said with a frown.

"Even after retirement, people will still watch us. Besides, we can't afford a house in that area," replied Queenie.

Even though they had savings, they needed to reserve that money for important things.

Jack knew she was right and let out a sigh. "It's just that it's quite far from here to their place."

"With modern transportation, it's not that far. But we shouldn't mention this to Luke. If he hears it, who knows

what he might do? They already have enough trouble over there, and we can't really help.

"The best thing we can do is stay here and not cause them any more problems," replied Queenie, tugging at his

sleeve. "Con, they're already gone. Let's go back inside."

Jack reluctantly tumed his gaze away.

It was said that daughters were their fathers’ little treasures, but he had never felt that way with Leia.

Queenie laughed and shook her head. "If you sell this villa, Dad will be upset. He always says it'll only increase in «

value. So, you'd better drop that idea."
