Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 1036 Calling Off the Marriage

Jack could not bear to see Queenie cry. He took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. "Alright, don't cry. You

shouldn't be emotionally agitated."

Queenie had passed out for the past few hours. If she became agitated, she might pass out again,

Queenie took his handkerchief and looked at Leia on the bed. She was still under the influence of the anesthesia.

Her eyes were bloodshot. She remembered that before she passed out, Luke had said that Bianca was abducted at

the bridal boutique. She turned around and asked Jack, "Is there any news about Bianca yet?" "I asked Luke earlier.

Not yet." Jack looked at his daughter on the bed and wondered if she had anything to do with the incident.

If she was proven to be involved, he would disown her!

Queenie was overcome by sorrow and nearly passed out again.

Jack steadied her by the shoulders. "Luke will find her, and she will return safely to us." "Mm..." Queenie tried hard

not to cry out loud. She could only silently wipe her tears. Her elder daughter was abducted, while her younger

daughter had to lose her baby. She would rather be the one suffering.

The door opened, and Tania rushed in aggressively. She ignored Jack and Queenie while roaring at the patient on

the bed. "Get up at this instant, Leia Norman!"

Queenie wiped her tears and stood up. "Mrs. Hilton, Leia is still unconscious. She wouldn't want this to happen

either.

Tania looked at Queenie and could not imagine that an elegant woman would have a daughter like that. If their

distant relative was not part of the surgery, they would have been deceived until it was too late.

She pointed at Leia sleeping on the bed, her finger trembling with anger." Why is your daughter like that, Mrs.

Norman? Why would she keep that baby in her womb despite knowing that it has birth defects? Does she want to

marry Brody so much? What do we owe her?"

Leia was indeed at fault. Queenie bowed deeply at Tania and apologized on behalf of her daughter. "I am sorry. I

admit that we were careless and have brought trouble to you. We will accept whatever decision you make."

Leia might not be the daughter that Jack and Queenie knew, but they were not going to abandon her at this

juncture.

Tania was impressed by Queenie's behavior. She thought that an adoptive daughter like Leia could never learn to be

like her mother.

"I want to call off the marriage," Tania huffed.

Queenie paused. Ever since she found out that Leia had been hiding the truth about the baby, she knew that the

marriage would eventually fail.

Leia was at fault, and she should bear the consequences.

Queenie nodded and agreed to it on Leia's behalf. "I'll return all the betrothal gifts in two days."

Tania did not expect Queenie to agree to it so quickly and return the betrothal gifts. She was once again impressed

by Queenie's character.

Even so, Queenie was Leia's mother, and the Hiltons would rather not have anything to do with them.

Tania did not soften her attitude. She nodded and said, "You don't have to return that. Treat it as a gift for Leia.

Brody already knows about it, and he says that he doesn't want anything to do with Leia anymore. I hope you can

ensure that she won't pester Brody."

As a mother, Tania knew that Brody still had feelings for Leia.

Of course, those feelings were only skin-deep. She was afraid that Leia might look for Brody after she recovered.

Leia wanted to marry Brody because of his money. She was wicked and useless, and Tania would not have agreed

to the marriage if not for the baby in Leia's womb.

Tania's anger grew once more when she was reminded of that baby. She turned around and left.

In a weird twist of luck, Leia did not get to deliver the baby. Otherwise, she would be a sinner to the Hiltons!

Queenie sighed again, and her tears fell.

Bianca's whereabouts were unknown, and Leia's marriage was called off. What was going on?

"Jack, what should Leia do?" Queenie looked at her husband helplessly.

News of Leia and Brody's marriage had spread throughout A City. Everyone knew that Leia was pregnant with

Brody's child, and they were to be married soon.

Now that the Hiltons knew that the baby had congenital birth defects, it would not take long before everyone knew

that Leia had hidden the truth from the Hiltons.

Leia's reputation was ruined.

Jack frowned. He did not expect that Brody would call off the wedding.

It seemed like Brody wanted Leia only for her baby.

Jack comforted Queenie, "It's good that the wedding is called off. Brody doesn't love Leia anyway. When she gets

better, I'll send her overseas to study. She can come back in a few years when all this has blown over."

Queenie grabbed Jack's shirt sleeve and shook her head. "I'll miss her." "There's nothing you can do about that.

Leia's reputation in A City is ruined by now," he said decisively. No matter what Queenie or Leia would say, he would

have to send Leia overseas.

Back then, he had objected to Leia taking up a degree in performing arts. He only begrudgingly agreed to it

because Leia said that she wanted to fulfill Queenie's dreams of becoming an actress.

Now that her acting career was destroyed, what else could she do? How would she be able to sustain herself when

her parents were no more?

Should she rely on a man? Someone like Brody was not reliable at all.

It was better for Leia to pick up a new skill.

Queenie sniffled. She was reluctant to see Leia go, but what her husband said made sense. It was perhaps a good

idea if Leia laid low for a while.

She looked at her daughter's pale face and said, "It's a good idea if she hides overseas, but she's not young

anymore. When she comes back, will she be able to find a husband?"

Jack patted her shoulder and sighed. "If Leia could find a significant other while overseas, then she should marry

him. It's better than coming back here and running out of options."

Leia's reputation was already ruined. Even if the incident had blown over, it was impossible for her to find a good

husband.

After all, other people would not forget...

Queenie cried even harder when she heard that. She and Leia might not be related by blood, but she had raised

her for so long.

"Alright, don't cry anymore. When Leia wakes up, we'll tell her," Jack said.

"No." Queenie shook her head. "Leia's body is weak now, and she won't be able to accept it. We should tell her after

she recovers, and we’ll help her step out of the trauma."
