Mrs Gardner
When Queenie returned home, Lydia was playing bridge with a group of other women. She was clad in
a form-fitting dress, and her makeup was carefully done. Although she was over fifty, Lydia only
appeared to be in her early forties due to her excellent skincare routine.
Queenie could hear someone ingratiating Lydia the moment she stepped inside.
“You’re so fortunate. Your daughter is amazing for being able to snag the president of Gardner
Corporation for herself. She’ll be able to live like a queen now.”
A smile bloomed on Lydia’s face when she heard that, after which she waved a hand. “Oh, it’s also
because Mr. Gardner was quite taken by her.”
However, what followed was a bunch of gossip.
“Queenie’s been courting Mr. Gardner for a few years now. She’s still just his fiancée. When will they tie
the knot? Her status in society will be different once she is officially Mrs. Gardner.”
“That’s right. You don’t get any protection under the law as just someone’s fiancée. She actually needs
to have a marriage certificate to be officially part of the Gardner Family.”
“Is Mr. Gardner not ready to marry Queenie…”
Queenie couldn’t stop the change in her expression when she heard that, and she gave a light cough
before walking further into the room. The gossiping women all quietened in an instant, and their gazes
shifted to her. Queenie had a smile on her face as she spoke in a gentle and humble tone, “Good day,
ladies. I’m here to see my mother today. Could you please end your game for the day and come back
another time?”
The women were embarrassed by this. Oh, she must’ve overheard our conversation earlier. Now that
the subject of their gossip was here, all they could do was giggle. “Since you two are busy, we shall
visit another time.”
With that, the group of women collected their belongings and left.
Although Queenie had a polite smile on her face, Lydia could see Queenie’s irritation as her mother.
She stepped forward to console Queenie. “They weren’t exactly wrong. There’s a difference between
being Colton’s fiancée and his wife.”
Queenie bit her lip. How could she not know that there was a difference? However, Colton had never
expressed when he wanted the wedding to be held. She couldn’t possibly just go up to him and ask
when he would actually marry her, no?
“I know that too, but what other choice do I have?” Queenie asked through clenched teeth. Forget
about marrying her—each time she got closer to Colton the last few years, he would keep her at arm’s
length. If it wasn’t because he was sure that she was the one who saved him five years ago, he would
have already kicked her out of his sight.
A shrew glint flashed in Lydia’s eyes as she lowered her voice. “Why don’t you find a chance to drug
him or seduce him?”
Shyness and embarrassment colored Queenie’s face at such blatant words. She averted her eyes as
she stuttered, “That’s… not exactly a good way to do it, right?”
Lydia struck the iron while it was hot. “My girl, you’re a fool. As long as you seize the opportunity and
fall pregnant with Colton’s baby, the matter of marrying into the Gardners won’t be an issue anymore.”
Lydia’s words shook Queenie as she had a point. Queenie had been with Colton for several years, but
his mother never accepted her because she hadn’t given the Gardners a child.
If Colton was unwilling to touch her, she wouldn’t be able to voice her wants, though.
To others, Queenie was above everyone as Colton’s fiancée, yet they didn’t know that Colton had
never once touched her during those five years.
In the beginning, she had taken the initiative, but all she received for her efforts was disgust from him.
She never brought it up again after that to maintain the stability of their relationship.
At that thought, indignance flashed across Queenie’s face as she recalled today’s incident. She hastily
schooled her expression when she recalled that important matter. She was here today to discuss
Nicole with Lydia.
“By the way, Mom, I came here to discuss something with you.”
“What is it? Did something happen?” Lydia could vaguely sense that something wasn’t right when she
saw Queenie’s expression.
“Nicole is taking her son to undergo a DNA paternity test with Joseph this weekend!” Queenie said
through clenched teeth.
Lydia was somewhat taken aback. Weren’t the results already out? How dare this little wench demand
to carry out a DNA paternity test!
