Chapter 1412
“As for her coming back, hah, she doesn’t stand a chance. The only thing that could prove her identity is now in the Queen’s hands. Without it, she can’t prove that she’s the real princess! Besides, Queen Julia of Y Country isn’t someone she can just meet when she pleases.”
Barbara pondered for a moment, seeming to understand something, so she flashed a content smile. If that was the case, then she had no more worries. Her life of a royal family member wouldn’t be shattered.
So many years had passed, and everyone’s lives were on track, so the Queen’s biological daughter’s return would only throw everyone off balance.
That woman must have gotten used to a civilian life by now, and she herself had grown accustomed to her luxurious princess life. It was all good.
Barbara thought, maybe that woman didn’t want to return after all these years, probably the same as her.
Barbara walked towards Queen Júlia with a smile. She didn’t mean any disrespect to her grandmother.
“Granny!” Becky called out brightly. A glint flashed in Queen Julia’s eyes as she discreetly handed a pair of bracelets to Lea next to her. She retracted her tears, replacing them with a smile as she watched Becky approach.
Becky, still young, exuded a sense of arrogance, like a spoiled princess. Sometimes she would tell Ava to keep a close eye on Becky, but her personality remained unchanged.
Becky was eloquent and was always able to say things that pleased the Queen. In her old age, Queen Julia found life full of vitality when she looked at these young people. She thought that kids at this age should be lively and cheerful, hence she doted on Becky. Moreover, Becky and Barbara’s father had been away for years, showing little concern for them, which was truly disheartening.
!
All in all, these two girls weren’t often with Queen Julia, so she had no reason to nitpick this young girl.
After all, they indeed had the demeanor of princesses, and that was enough.
But if they were her biological granddaughters, she would dote on them with all her might.
“Such a big girl, yet so noisy.”
Becky linked arms with Queen Julia. “Because I take after you!”
Julia chuckled softly, patting her hand. “You’re such a chatterbox. You’ve said all the sweet words.”
Barbará also approached, looking at Julia with a smile. “Granny.”
Julia nodded, and teased Becky, “Look at your sister Barbara, only two years older than you, but so much more mature.”
Becky looked a bit unhappy. “I don’t care, you have to like me more. No, I’m two years younger than Barbara, so you should like me even more.”
Queen Julia laughed at Becky’s words. In fact, she favored Becky more than Barbara.
Barbara was too mature, and not good with words, but her behavior was poised and elegant. Although she appeared calm, she seemed cunning to Julia. If this cunningness was used for self–protection, that was acceptable, but if it was used to harm others…
Julia suppressed these feelings deep inside her, observing the two young girls on either side of her with a smile, her heart filled with mixed emotions. If her own daughter was still alive, would she have also had a lively daughter like them?
Ava stood not far away, watching the two perfect daughters making Julia smile from ear to ear. She couldn’t help but feel proud and relieved.
After a while, a servant came to announce dinner, and everyone slowly made their way to the dining room.
The dining room was already filled with people, the children were with their families, and the long table of over five meters was almost full.
The children’s children, their spouses, and their own children, a full house of descendants indeed.
Seeing Queen Julia arrive, everyone respectfully stood up. When she slowly sat down at the head of the table, they all followed suit. A few children were making a ruckus and wouldn’t quiet down, but Julia didn’t get angry. She just sat there with a smile on her face.
Apart from something that really crossed the line, Queen Julia rarely lost her temper in front of others. But nobody dared to behave improperly in front of her.
“Since we’re all gathered here, please, feel free to relax,” Julia said.
Everyone almost unanimously agreed, and then began to eat.
After dinner, Julia arranged and reminded everyone about the special matters at the state banquet, played with the children for a while, and before they knew it, it was already late. The children, not wanting to disturb the Queen’s rest, left one after another.
The day after tomorrow would be the state banquet, and right after that, the matter of the hereditary kingship. At least during these processes, absolutely nothing could go wrong.
After leaving the palace, Ava found a corner, took out her constantly ringing phone, and returned the call. “What’s up? I was just at a dinner party.”
The familiar deep voice on the phone said, “I couldn’t stop Chloe. She should arrive in Y Country around midnight. Keep an eye on her.”
Ava frowned. “You couldn’t even stop one woman?”
The other person’s tone became cold. “What do you know?!”
Alright, alright, I got it. She can’t possibly cause a big fuss. I’ll handle it myself.”
Ava finished speaking and the other person hung up.
“Incompetent. Can’t even stop one person, and now getting mad at me…”
Ava looked disdainful, then dialed another number. “Chloe arrives in Y Country around midnight today. Help me track her whereabouts.”
The other party agreed, Ava immediately hung up, and briskly walked towards the car not far in front.
After a flight of more than ten hours, Chloe had been to the bathroom several times. Not long ago she ate a piece of cake, and her stomach felt uncomfortable, She got up and went to the toilet, leaning over the sink,
It seemed like the two little buns in her belly were sensible. They seemed to understand that her increasing belly size might have made things tougher for her, so during her pregnancy, Chloe rarely had morning sickness.
There were hardly any times when she’d hurl as much as she’d chowed down. As long as the food wasn’t particularly off–putting or made her feel sick, Chloe basically didn’t have any adverse reactions.
But this time, it was probably because she’d been cooped up on the plane for too long, which had Chloe feeling queasy and on the verge of puking. She dry–heaved a couple of times over the sink but didn’t actually throw up anything.
