Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1151-She Did Not Want Any Trouble

"Yes. Mr. Crawford changed his mind this morning," Mo said.

"Mm, understood." Luca was frustrated by the news article. She would have to face Luke later...

She quickly walked into the office to make some preparations for the meeting.

Mo watched her walk away and mumbled, "Why does Dr. Craw look so much like the woman in the photo?"

Fifteen minutes later, Luca came out of the office.

When she arrived at the conference room, almost all the other personnel from the Technical Department were there.

Luca looked at the nameplates on the oval table and found her seat. She was relieved when she found out that her seat was some distance away from the CEO.

She casually glanced around the room and noticed that no one was paying any attention to her. It seemed that no one recognized her in the photo.

Luca felt a lot more at ease. All she wanted was to do her job and not cause any trouble.

She knew that Luke would deal with the media outlets, so she was not worried that the news would spread.

Five minutes later, Luke came in through the door. Behind him were Jason and Cole.

Luca lowered her head and pretended to revise her notes. She did not want to meet his gaze.

Luke sat in the CEO's seat and gazed at everyone in the room coldly. His gaze darkened when he saw Luca.

Mo was observing all that discreetly. She noticed the change in Luke's expression.

She followed the direction of Luke's gaze and found out that he was looking at Luca.

Cole sat on Luke's left side. The conference room was silent. He braced himself and asked, "All the researchers are present, Mr. Crawford. Shall we begin the meeting?" "Mm." Luke nodded. He sat there but did not do anything, as though he was a mere observer.

Cole waited for thirty seconds for Luke to speak. Seeing that Luke was not speaking, he cleared his throat and said, "Let's begin the meeting then. Our agenda today is to determine the company's development plans for the next financial quarter. I hope that all of you are prepared to present your projects; that will determine the amount of funding you will get in the future."

The researchers nodded.

They were notified about the meeting yesterday, and they had worked overtime on their presentations so that they would receive more funding.

Seeing that no one objected, Cold waved his hand and said, "Let's start from the left."

The researcher sitting next to Cole broadcast his slideshow on the screen and presented his research project.

Luca was the third researcher to present.

She handed her USB drive to Mo so that Mo could help her broadcast it. Then, she began to introduce the two drugs that she was researching.

The first drug was a cure for cancer, while the other was an antibiotic. Shanks did half of the work for both of the projects.

As Cole listened to her presentation, his dissatisfaction gradually turned into shock.

He thought that Luke had employed the woman because of connections. The presentation showed him that Luca was a far more capable researcher than he had imagined.

Her work had surpassed many experienced researchers. Unlike most modern drugs that improved other drugs with similar components, Luca's drugs were wholly revolutionary.

If she were not capable, she would not have been able to perform such research.

Luca could tell that all eyes in the conference room were on her, but she could not keep calm when she realized that Luke was looking at her.

She tried to still her wildly thumping heart as she presented her progress report on the two drugs. After it was over and she sat down, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Luke's gaze turned even more profound after hearing her presentation.

He did not expect that she would be presenting two progress reports. If the two drugs made it to the market, it would be a blessing for countless patients and bring record profits to the company.

Luke looked at the presentation on the screen and sank deep in thought.

After Luca's presentation, the other researchers also presented their progress reports one by one. Luke listened to them all.

By the end of the meeting, none of the other researchers' presentations were as attractive as what Luca presented.

Cole turned to Luke and said, "Mr. Crawford..." "Dismissed," Luke said curtly and stood up. He looked around the conference room and was the first one to leave.

The people in the conference room looked at each other.

Luca lowered her head. Her hands were clasped tightly under the table.

Earlier, his gaze seemed to have lingered on her for a little longer.

After Luke left, he took the elevator and went to his office on the top floor.

Jason was standing behind him. He asked, "Boss, aren't you going back to T Corporation?" "Are there many reporters outside T Corporation?" Luke asked.

"Yes," Jason answered. He thought that Luke stayed behind because of a certain woman, but it turned out that he was mistaken.

However, whenever a scandal happened in the past, Luke would hold the fort in T Corporation instead of hiding in a subsidiary.

Jason discreetly observed Luke's expression and scratched his head in confusion.

When the elevator reached the top floor, Luke stepped out of the elevator and told Jason, "Get Luca Craw to come to my office in half an hour." "Yes!" Jason nodded.

Luca returned to her office. Before she could sit down, Mo came in and told her, "Dr. Craw, Mr. Crawford wants to see you at his office." "Noted, thanks. I'll go over now." Luca put down the notes in her hand and left the office. She thought for a while and asked, "Do you know why Mr. Crawford is looking for me?" "I don't know." Mo thought for a while and continued, "It should be related to your research projects." "Did he ask any other researcher to go to his office too?" Luca asked.

"As far as I know, you're the only one," Mo said with a smile.

Luca nodded. It was normal for an employer to have private meetings with their employees, but she could not shake off the feeling that Luke wanted to meet her for something else.

Mo was still looking at her with a smile. "Dr. Craw, were you and Mr.

Crawford friends before this?"

Luca could sense something in Mo's gaze and instantly understood what she was thinking. "Is there something that you want to know?" She asked.

"No, just asking." Mo shook her head, feeling a little flustered. Even though both of them were employees, Luca held a more important position in the company, and Mo knew better than to overstep her boundaries.

Luca smiled when she saw the panic in Mo's eyes. "I'll go up myself," she said as she pressed a button.

"Yes!" Mo nodded and quickly left.

Luca took the elevator to the top floor. Jason was waiting for her.

"This way, please, Dr. Craw," Jason said cheerfully when he saw her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1152- Are You Bothered?

Luca followed Jason to the CEO's office.

Watson Biopharmaceuticals was only a subsidiary company, so the furnishings in the CEO's office were not as lavish as that of T Corporation. The dull gray walls gave her an oppressive feeling.

Jason stood at the entrance, and he had no intention of going inside. He pointed toward the interior and said, "Please, Dr. Craw."

Luca took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Luke's voice was heard from the inside.

Luca's hand gripped the metal doorknob. It was cold to the touch and made her shudder slightly.

She pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Luke sit on the swivel chair, she deliberately left the door open. "Mr. Crawford." "Sit." Luke pointed at the seat opposite him.

Luca nodded. She had only taken two steps when she heard Jason closing the door behind her.

She turned around and glanced at the closed door.

She did not want to close the door because she did not want to share a private space with Luke.

Luke coughed gently. Luca came to her senses and sat down at the chair opposite him.

"Can I help you, Mr. Crawford?" She asked softly.

"I'm very interested in your projects," Luke said candidly.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Luke only wanted to meet her for her projects. "Thank you." "How much money do you need?" Luke asked. His heart skipped a beat when he heard her soft voice.

Luca lowered her head and did not notice the sparkle in Luke's eyes. She thought carefully for a bit, though she was not very sure about how researching funding worked. As far as she knew, her projects were in the final stages, and she did not need as much funding as those that had just started.

All she had to do was to verify the data from Shanks's research. There was practically no risk of failure.

"I don't need too much money because my research is in its final stages. I shall leave it to your discretion," Luca said.

"Don't you want to request more?" Luke was quite surprised. Any other researcher would want to take the opportunity to ask for more money.

After all, if the research was successful, they would make massive profits for the company, and they could take the credit for it.

"More money wont make my research better, so I’ll only ask for enough." Luca was not interested in research funding.

"Mm." Luke wrote some characters on a document.

From how Luke was holding the document, Luca could not discern what he was writing. She guessed that he was filling up a budget document.

"When I talked to you last time, you were only working on one project. Why do you suddenly have two?" Luke put the document away and asked.

"Isn't that good for the company?" Luca said.

"It's good, indeed." Luke nodded. "The project is in its final stages, so you must have spent a lot of time on it. Did you bring it over from your previous company?"

Luca knew what he was worried about. She nodded and reassured him, "It is indeed a continuation of a project from my previous company, but I've done most of the research in private after I resigned. They don't have any useful information."

Luke nodded, and his phone began to ring. It was from an unknown number, and he rejected the call without hesitation.

Luca did not say anything and waited for Luke to speak.

"Did you read the papers?" Luke asked. He thought that the phone call was from a reporter.

"You mean that piece of gossip? I've read it." Luca's heart skipped a beat. She knew that he would eventually mention it, and she did not know what he thought of the article.

She observed Luke's expression. He seemed calm, but she did not know what he was thinking.

"Mm." Luke nodded slightly. When their eyes met, he felt a tingle in his nervous system. That was a sensation that he had not experienced for a very long time. "Are you bothered?" "The photo doesn't show my face clearly, but I hope that you'll be able to settle this problem, Mr. Crawford," Luca said.

If the news continued to spread, Abel would eventually find out about it. She did not know what Abel's plan of revenge was, and she could not predict what he might do." 'Til deal with it." Luke could tell that the woman was trying to keep a distance from him.

That somehow made him feel unhappy.

Jason knocked on the door and said. "Boss, Tommy’s homeroom teacher wants to speak to you."

Luke frowned. "Come in," he said.

"Yes, Boss," Jason replied and opened the door. He was holding a phone in his hand.

He handed the phone to Luke.

"Hello, I am Luke Crawford." Luke took the phone and spoke into it. His tone of voice was ice-cold.

The teacher glanced at Tommy who was sitting on a chair. She said, "Good day to you, Mr. Crawford. I'm sorry for disturbing you. Tommy isn't feeling well. Do you want to pick him up and bring him home?" "Mm. I'll go over now," Luke said and handed the phone back to Jason. He stood up and took his coat that was hanging at the side.

After Jason ended the call, he asked, "Are you going to Tommy's school, Boss?" "Tommy isn't feeling well. I'll have to bring him to the doctor," Luke said. Over the past few years, Luke had been taking care of the children himself. He would only delegate those tasks to the driver and the caretakers if he had to go on a business trip.

He never let Bianca do anything for the children.

Luca instinctively stood up. She seemed worried.

Luke noticed all that.

"Should I go with you?" Jason said.

"Stay here and talk with each of the researchers. Make a note of the amount of funding they want," Luke said.

"Yes!" Jason nodded and watched Luke leave.

Luca remained on the spot. When she estimated that Luke had already gone into the elevator and went downstairs, she turned to speak to Jason," I'll go downstairs and continue my work, Mr. Doyle." "Mm. Take care, Dr. Craw." Jason watched her leave. He rubbed his chin curiously, thinking that how Luca called him Mr. Doyle" sounded very similar to the previous Bianca.

He wondered if his boss had taken an interest in Luca.

However, her voice was the extent of Luca's similarities to Bianca. As far as Jason knew, Luke had reunited with Bianca two years ago, and Luke would not be interested in any other woman.

The more Jason thought about it, the more confused he was.

His intuition told him that Luke was acting strangely, but he did not think that Luke was that kind of person.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1153- There Must Be a Reason

After Luca left the CEO's office, she did not go anywhere else other than the elevator lobby.

She was surprised when she saw Luke standing there waiting for the elevator. It had been quite some time, but the elevator had not arrived yet.

It was then that she realized that they were not in T Corporation, and Luke did not have a personal elevator in the Watson Biopharmaceuticals building. It should not have been surprising that Luke would be waiting for sometime.

Luke must have heard her footsteps because she was not sneaking, and it would be very suspicious if she tried to run away.

Luca had no other choice but to approach him. "Mr. Crawford." "Mm." Luke nodded. His eyes remained transfixed on the elevator display. The elevator had not arrived yet.

Luca stood some distance away from him. She thought for a while and asked, "Is Tommy okay?" "I don't know. I'll have to bring him to the doctor," Luke said. He placed his hands in his pockets, and he looked cool and handsome.

Luca nodded. She was worried about Tommy, but she did not say anything.

The elevator arrived at the top floor. Luke went inside first and held the door open. Seeing that Luca had no intention of going in, he ordered, ” Come in."

Luca could not refuse, so she went inside.

Luke pressed the button for the basement parking lot, then pressed the button for the Technical Department.

Luca stood there stiffly. She lifted her head to look at the decreasing numbers on the display.

"Are you worried about Tommy?" Luke said.

"I think I have an affinity with that child," Luca said.

"He wants you to be his godmother." Luke glanced at her side profile. She was wearing light makeup, and she looked like a blooming rose in the wilderness.

"Can I refuse?" Luca said. She could accept that she would not be able to reconcile with her child, but she could not accept that she would be her child's godmother.

"You can," Luke said. The elevator stopped at the Technical Department.

The elevator doors opened, and Luca did not want to stay in the elevator for an extra second.

She breathed a sigh of relief as she heard the elevator closed behind her. She noticed that Cole was standing not far away and looking at her.

"Dr. Kidman." Luca was not interested in office politics, but she had to be polite.

"I learned a lot from your presentation today, Dr. Craw. If you're free, shall we have a chat?" There was a hint of appreciation in Cole's eyes.

He thought that Luca was not very capable, but it turned out that her research held far more value than what he had.

He did not have to think too hard to conclude that Luke had approved a big amount of funding for her.

"Sure." Luca was not fond of that man, but she had to remain diplomatic.

Cole continued, "Mr. Crawford asked you to meet him in his office earlier. Is it about your projects?" "Yes," Luca replied curtly.

She had just finished speaking when Mo came over and said, "Dr. Cole, Mr. Doyle wants to meet you upstairs."

Cole frowned. "Why is it Mr. Doyle?"

He wanted to speak with Luke about the funding.

"I don't know," Mo replied with a smile.

Cole shot a glance at Luca. Luca got to meet with the CEO, but he only got to meet with the assistant.

Luca noticed that Cole was looking at her. She explained, "Mr. Crawford had to leave because of an emergency." "I see." Cole clapped his hands and said, 'Til be going up then."

Luca smiled, watched him leave, and went back to her office.

Cole was someone who craved power. She had to explain herself because she did not want him to have the wrong impression of her.

She did not really care if Cole misjudged her personality, but she did not want Cole to think that there was something going on between Luke and her.

Luke drove the car to Tommy's school. The boy was sitting in the teacher's office waiting for him.

"Daddy." Tommy smiled when he saw Luke. He jumped off the chair and walked toward him.

Luke touched his forehead to check the temperature, but it was not very warm. "Are you alright?" "I'm a little dizzy." Tommy leaned on him and pouted.

Luke took his hand. "Mm. I'll bring you to the doctor."

Tommy's teacher handed Luke an early leave form. "Please initial here, Mr. Crawford."

Luke nodded. He took out a pen from his pocket, signed his initials on the form, and brought Tommy away.

"They look really outstanding." The teacher could not help but exclaim as she watched the father and son leave.

"It's too late to have a crush on him. He's already married," another teacher joked.

"I'm not having a crush on him. I'm just saying." The teacher blushed.

Luke drove the car to the hospital.

Johann had already been waiting for him in the consultation room. When he saw Luke and Tommy walk in, he said jokingly, "I wish that you won't come and look for me only when you need something. How about making a donation? We need a new block. Some research funding will be good too.

"Is your hospital short of money? Stop that nonsense." Luke placed Tommy on the chair and said, "Tommy says that he's dizzy. Take a look at him."

Johann pinched Tommy’s cheek. "What's wrong, Tommy?”

Tommy blinked and said, "I don't know, Uncle Johann. I feel really dizzy." "You're feeling dizzy. Let me check," Johann said. He ran a few tests but did not find any problems.

"Are you sure that you're feeling dizzy, Tommy?" he asked seriously.

"Mm!" Tommy nodded.

Johann continued, "Where do you feel unwell? Is it here, or here?"

Tommy pointed to several parts of his body. "Here, and here."

Johann frowned. "Well...” "How is it?" Luke asked.

"It's nothing serious," Johann said as he removed his stethoscope. "He didn't sleep well last night."

Tommy blinked. "How do you know, Uncle Johann?" "That must be why you're feeling unwell, isn't it?" Johann patted his head.

Luke looked at his son and frowned. "There's nothing wrong?" "Nope. He just needs to rest early today." Johann did not want to tell Luke that the child was faking it.

Tommy was completely fine, but Johann could guess that there was a reason he was faking his sickness.

Tommy nodded and told Luke, "I should be fine after resting for a bit, Daddy!"

Luke nodded. "Let's go."

Tommy jumped off the chair and took his hand.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Johann said, "Hey, what about my consultation fees?"

Luke glanced at him with a withering gaze. "How much?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1154- The CEO's Son Knows Luca

Johann shuddered when he met Luke's gaze. He wagged his hand and said, "Never mind. I wouldn't dare to take your money."

When Luke heard that, he took Tommy's hand and left the room.

Johann shrugged and shook his head. "Why does he look like he's never satisfied? I don't get it. He's already married, but he's so scary."

The nurse captain happened to walk into the room. When she heard Johann talking to himself, she smiled and asked him, " Which married man is so scary?" "It's nothing." Johann resumed his serious expression. "Is there anything?” "The patient in Room 36 is complaining that he's feeling unwell. Are you free to check on him?" The nurse captain asked.

"Mm." Johann hung the stethoscope around his neck and left the room.

Luke brought Tommy back to his car. ’TH send you back home." "No, Daddy!" Tommy did not want to go back to Crawford Manor. "I want to accompany you, Daddy."

Luke was about to start the car when he heard that. He turned his head to look at Tommy in the backseat and asked, "Are you planning something?" "What are you talking about, Daddy? Tommy doesn't understand." Tommy pretended to be oblivious.

He rarely referred to himself in the third person. Luke confirmed his suspicions and called him out, "You're pretending to be sick, right?" "Uncle Johann says that I'm unwell." Tommy blinked, though he was thinking, 'Why is Daddy so smart?' "I'm sure it's only because he doesn't want to call you out." Luke would not deserve to be the boy's father if he could not tell that.

Tommy stuck his tongue out.

"Tell me why are you pretending to be sick," Luke asked.

"Uncle Jason said that you're at the new company." Tommy missed Luca and wanted to meet her again. He pretended to be sick so that Luke would pick him up, and he would be able to go to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

"How did he tell you?" Luke asked as he started the car.

"Ms. Lina said that she can't get through to you, so I told her to call Uncle Jason's number. That was how I got to know about it from him." Tommy blinked. "Bring me there, Daddy. I want to meet Ms. Luca again." "Alright." Luke did not refuse, but he warned his son, "I'll let you off this time. Don't do it again. I'll bring you there after lunch." "Thank you, Daddy!" Tommy said happily and fastened his seatbelt.

The car arrived at Watson Biopharmaceuticals, and Luke brought Tommy upstairs.

"Where is Ms. Luca, Daddy?" Tommy asked.

"I've already pressed the button," Luke said.

Tommy found the button and memorized the number.

At the Technical Department, Luke did not bring him directly to Luca's office. Instead, he brought him to the assistants' office.

"Boss?" Rhett was the only person inside. He stood up when he saw Luke come in, but his gaze soon turned toward the little boy.

That boy was a spitting image of Luke!

"He must be your son," Rhett said.

"Mm." Luke shot a glance at Tommy and let go of his hand. "Help me look after him." "Ah, yes." Rhett nodded. He did not expect that he would have to take care of the CEO's child one day, but the child seemed to be amiable.

After that, Luke left Tommy in the office while he went upstairs for work.

Tommy looked around the office. "Where's Ms. Luca?" "Do you mean Dr. Craw?" Rhett was surprised that the CEO's son knew who Luca was.

"Yes, yes! I'm here to look for Ms. Luca!" Tommy nodded and blinked. "Is she here, Uncle?"

Rhett was about the same age as Luca, and he did not think of himself as particularly avuncular.

"Dr. Craw isn't here," Rhett said.

"Stupid Daddy, he told me that he was bringing me to meet Ms. Luca! He lied to me!" Tommy wanted to storm out of the office when he heard that.

Rhett quickly held his hand and said, "She's in another office."

Tommy instantly smiled when he heard that. "Oh? Please bring me to her, Uncle!"

Rhett could only nod. "Alright."

Tommy cheered and thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle!"

As Rhett brought the boy to the research laboratory, he rubbed his chin.1 Uncle? Do I look that old?'

Rhett did not find Luca in the research laboratory, so he brought Tommy to Luca's office.

Mo noticed that Rhett was bringing a child around. She went up to ask him curiously, "Whose child is he, Rhett?" "He's the boss's child," Rhett replied. The child was friendly and easy-going, even though

he had been calling him "Uncle." Earlier, in the laboratory, Rhett had told him not to touch the equipment, and he was quite obedient.

None of the other children he knew would be that obedient.

"Are you the boss's babysitter now?" Mo laughed. She bent over and smiled at Tommy. "Hey, li'l Boss, do you want a snack? I have plenty of snacks."

Tommy frowned, not tempted by the snacks. He said, "I don't eat snacks, Ma'am. I want to meet Ms. Luca!" "Ms. Luca?" Mo was not used to Luca being referred to by her first name.

"He means Dr. Craw," Rhett said and brought the child away with him.

Mo became more and more curious. She did not expect Luca to be friends with the CEO's daughter. That was irrefutable proof that Luca knew who their CEO was before she was employed, i

No one would believe Luca if she said otherwise!

Mo smiled. She was fond of gossip, and the biggest subject of gossip was in the Technical Department.

'This is interesting...'

She resolved to find out more about the covert relationship between the CEO and Luca.

Rhett brought Tommy to Luca’s office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Luca's voice was heard from the inside.

Rhett twisted the doorknob. It was not locked, so he pushed the door open and went inside.

When Tommy laid his eyes on Luca, he immediately ran over, "Ms. Luca!"

Luca was shocked when she heard that familiar voice. By the time she lifted her head, Tommy was already in front of her. "Tommy?"

Tommy splayed his arms on the table and said, "I miss you, Ms. Luca. Do you miss me?"

Luca patted his head and turned to look at Rhett, who was standing at the door.

Rhett understood what Luca was implying. "If there's nothing else, I'll be returning to my office," he said.

"Mm. Please close the door," Luca said.

Rhett nodded and left, closing the door behind him.

Only Luca and Tommy were left in the office.

Luca's heart melted when she saw Tommy blinking at him. Her tone became gentle. "Of course I miss you. Why are you here though?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1155-The Most Delicious Dinner

"Don't worry, Ms. Luca. I didn’t sneak out this time. Daddy brought me here! " Tommy smiled sweetly.

"Ha, I hope you won't do that again!" Luca took the opportunity to discipline the child. She hoped that he would not run away from home again.

If he ran away again, he might not be so lucky.

"Don't worry, Ms. Luca, I won't!" Tommy reassured her.

Luca remembered that Luke said that Tommy was sick. She placed her palm on his forehead but did not think that he was having a fever.

Tommy thought that Luca's hand was warm, and it had given him an inexplicable sense of security. "What are you doing, Ms. Luca?" he asked.

"Aren't you feeling unwell? I thought you'd be having a fever," Luca said.

Tommy shook his head. "I lied to Daddy. I'm feeling very healthy!"

Luca was relieved when she heard that, though she pretended to glare at him. "You're such a naughty boy. You shouldn't lie to your Daddy." "I wouldn't be able to meet you if I hadn't lied to Daddy, Ms. Luca," Tommy said matter-of-factly. He did not think he did anything wrong at all. "I'm only telling a white lie. All I wanted was to meet you." "Naughty." Luca gently flicked the back of his hand.

"Don't you want to see me, Ms. Luca?" Tommy asked.

"I'm happy when a handsome little boy wants to meet me, but you shouldn't do that next time. It's not good to lie." Luca stood up, held his hand, and led him to the couch. "Understand?" "Yes!" Tommy

thought that he would not have such opportunities often.

He would not have made up an excuse to skip school if he did not know that his father was going to Watson Biopharmaceuticals today.

"Ms. Luca, can I have dinner at your house tonight?" Tommy asked.

Luca raised an eyebrow. "Why do you want to have dinner at my home?" "I miss your cooking, Ms. Luca," Tommy said with a grin. His plan was working.

Luca remembered that Amur was living in her house now. He might be trustworthy, but she did not want Tommy to meet another person from the Island of Despair. She could only say, "I can't promise you anything. I might need to work overtime today, and your Daddy, who is also my boss, might not agree with your plan." "What if Daddy dopes?” Tommy frowned and said.

"We'll see about that." Luca was quite sure that Luke would not agree to it. He would want to bring the boy back to Crawford Manor.

"Alright, we'll see what Daddy says!" Tommy decided that he would try to convince his father.

Luca nodded. She knew what Tommy was thinking, but she was not worried.

She knew Luke very well. Once he was set on something, nothing would be able to persuade him to change his mind. The only person who could do so was Bianca.

She was quite unhappy when she thought about the impostor Bianca.

Tommy might have told her that Luke and the impostor Bianca had been sleeping separately, but Luca was worried that the little child might not have seen the entire picture.

"Ms. Luca! Ms. Luca?" Tommy saw that she was lost in thought, so he tugged her shirt sleeve.

Luca came to her senses and looked at the little boy. "Yes?" "You should finish your work so that you don't have to work overtime, Ms. Luca. You'll have to cook a delicious dinner for me tonight," Tommy said. He had come to Luca's office to meet her, but he did not want to distract her from her work.

He was quite empathic!

"What about you?" Luca asked. Her office did not have a television, and she had to use the other electronic devices for her work.

"You don't have to worry about me, Ms. Luca. I brought a book!" Tommy smiled and took out a general knowledge book from his backpack.

"Alright then. You can read while I finish my work on hand." Luca was at ease when she saw that Tommy could keep himself occupied. She returned to her chair and resumed her work.

Luca reproduced the steps of Shanks's research and did not discover any problem. Not feeling very convinced, she compared his data with hers one more time.

If she realized that something was wrong, she would immediately terminate the experiment.

If that happened, she would have to bring out another project to placate Luke and the other people.

Tommy was sitting on the couch reading his book. Occasionally, he glanced at Luca and could not help but grin when he saw her hard at work.1 She's so pretty," he thought.

He wished that he could live with her forever.

Just when she was about to go off work, someone knocked on her door.

She thought that Rhett was bringing the experiment results in. "Come in," she said without asking the person outside to identify themselves.

When the door was opened, Tommy hopped off the couch and ran over." Daddy!"

Luca's expression stiffened, and she lifted her head with much difficulty.

When their eyes met, Luca wanted to lower her head again.

However, that would seem very awkward, so she did not do it. She stood up and greeted him courteously, "Mr. Crawford." "Mm." Luke glanced at the couch. On it was Tommy's backpack and a book. He did not see any snacks, juice bottles, or tablets.

How did Luca manage to get him to sit still for an entire afternoon?

Luke thought that it was quite unbelievable. He knew that Tommy could hardly sit still, and the boy could only concentrate on something for two hours at most.

No matter how interesting a book might be, he would only be able to read it for two hours maximum. After that, he would be clamoring for snacks or games.

Looking at the scene, he guessed that Tommy had been reading the book in Luca's office for the entire afternoon.

Was what Luca said true, that she had an affinity with Tommy? Otherwise, how could he explain why Tommy would sit there for an entire afternoon? When he thought about that, he looked at Luca again.

"Are you going off work, Daddy?" Tommy asked.

"Mm, yes. Let's go home." Luke came to his senses and looked away from Luca. "Go and pack up."

He pointed at Tommy's book and backpack.

Tommy remembered Luca's promise. He tugged his father's shirt sleeve and said, "Can we not go home yet, Daddy?'" "Why?" Luke asked.

"I want Ms. Luca to make dinner for me. She cooks really delicious food. Can we go and have dinner at her house?" Tommy said.

'Dinner?'

In the past, Luke would have rejected the thought instantly. Bianca had already made the most delicious dinner for him.

Bianca's cooking was different from others. She only cooked for him.

Unfortunately, she had lost her memories, and her cooking skills were lost forever.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1156- Tricked by Luke and Tommy

However, when Luke heard Tommy's suggestion, he was suddenly interested in trying Luca's cooking.

He looked at Luca and asked her, "Would it trouble you?"

Luca was about to say that it would trouble her very much, but Tommy spoke before she could. "Ms. Luca says that it's okay as long as you agree."

Luca was speechless.

The child was always faster than her.

"Alright, sorry to impose on you then," Luke said.

She felt as though the two were ganging up on her.

Cooking was not something hard for her, especially after Tommy stayed over in her house. She had regained her confidence in her cooking skills.

However, she hoped that Tommy and Luke would not come into contact with the other people from the Island of Despair.

She was afraid that Amur might give away something if he knew who Luke was, even though Amur might be worried about her.

She did not want to put Nyla in danger just to satisfy her selfish needs.

"Yay!" Tommy clapped his hands and cheered.

"I have something to tell you, Mr. Crawford." There was only one excuse left to keep them out of her house.

"Speak." Luke gazed at her. She did not know what Luke was thinking.

"My stove is broken, and I haven't found someone to fix it yet, so I can't cook," Luca said while kneading her hands. It was not very convincing, but it was a reason nonetheless.

If her stove was broken, he could not force her to cook.

Luke was about to say something when Tommy spoke first. "Huh? What brand is it, Ms. Luca? Why did it break so easily?"

Luca felt a little embarrassed, as though Luke and Tommy had seen through her lies. However, she could only tell more lies to cover up her previous one. "The stove belongs to my landlord. It might have broken because the previous tenant abused it."

Tommy nodded. He could think of many solutions just so that he could eat Luca's cooking. "Don't worry, Ms. Luca, you can come to my home and cook." "Huh?" Luca did not expect Tommy to think of that. She shook her head and said, "That's not very convenient, isn't it? Don't you have a cook at home?" "We don't have a cook at my house," Luke said. Crawford Manor had a cook, but his house did not.

Luca was taken aback. 'My house?

'Is it the one I'm thinking of?' "Yay, this is great! You can come to my house and cook, Ms. Luca." Tommy clapped his hands, happy that his father was helping him.

Luca knew that she had run out of excuses. She would not be able to leave if she did not make dinner for Luke and Tommy. She could only nod and agree.

Luke nodded. "Pack up. We'll be leaving soon."

That line was spoken to both Tommy and Luca.

Tommy went to the couch and put the book in his backpack while Luca tidied up her desk and placed her research notes in the safe.

Every office was equipped with a safe so that no one else could steal the proprietary information. If any outsiders got their hands on the projects, the company would suffer huge losses.

Luca took off her lab coat and put on her jacket, wore her cap, and left with Luke and Tommy.

The three people walked toward the elevator. It was only the second day of operations, so many people had not started on their projects. Moreover, it was already way past office hours, so there was no one else in the Technical Department.

The elevator doors opened, and the three people went in.

Tommy stole a glance at Luke, then turned his head to look at Luca. He giggled when he thought that they looked like a family of three.

Most importantly, Tommy did not seem to mind it at all.

He had never liked any woman that tried to suck up to Luke.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Luca felt that the atmosphere was quite awkward. "What would you like to eat, Mr. Crawford?" She asked.

"I'll eat anything that you cook," Luke said.

Luca's heart skipped a beat. The answer was quite perfunctory, but she was somehow moved.

'What's going on with me...' "Mm, alright." She nodded. She lowered her head and looked at Tommy," How about you, Tommy? What would you like to eat?"

Til eat anything that you cook, Ms. Luca." Tommy did not specify any particular dish either.

Luca thought that it was very troublesome to cook for Luke and Tommy.

She knew all their favorite dishes, but she could not cook only those.

Otherwise, they might suspect that she was trying to suck up to them.

Luca decided that she would decide what to cook after going to the supermarket.

"Can you make some more food, Ms. Luca?" Tommy said.

"Oh? Why?" Luca did not understand.

"Daddy is a big eater, so you should make more food. He won't be able to sleep on an empty stomach. The doctor says that you'll get a headache if you don't sleep well." Tommy tried to find an excuse for his greed.

'Didn't he say that he was sick?'

The elevator arrived at the basement parking lot. Luke went to bring the car while Luca and Tommy waited in the lobby.

Tommy held Luca's hand tightly in case she tried to escape.

"Ms. Luca," he called out.

"Hm?" Luca lowered her head to look at the child.

"You don't have to worry, Ms. Luca. Daddy and I aren't picky eaters. He's used to eating good food, but he's really not picky. Last time, my Mommy wanted to cook something for him, but she made a charred

omelet. We didn't eat it, but Daddy ate the entire thing. He'll definitely love the food you cook for him."

Luca patted her son's head. She knew that he did not want her to be too anxious.

However, her heart wrenched when she heard that Luke was so tolerant of the impostor Bianca. She even felt pity for him.

"That's because your Daddy loves your Mommy," she said.

"No, he's not picky." Tommy was stubborn.

"Alright, he's not picky then. Why did you tell that to me though?" Luca smiled and said.

"That's because your hands are clammy. Uncle Johann said that you have clammy hands when you're feeling uneasy. Are you feeling uneasy now, Ms. Luca?" Tommy asked. As far as he remembered, Luca's hands were always warm.

"Yes. Your Daddy is my boss, you know," Luca said with a smile.

There were many reasons that her hands were clammy, but the biggest reason was Luke.

"Don't worry, Ms. Luca. If Daddy wants to fire you because of your cooking, I'll run away from home again!" Tommy said while thumping his chest. He was ready to protect her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1158-Cooking for Luke and Tommy

Tommy looked at Luke, who seemed to be lost in thought. "What are you thinking, Daddy?" he asked.

"Nothing." Luke did not tell him about his confused feelings.

He had only met Luca for only a few days, but why did she seem so familiar?

Tommy did not ask him any further questions. He returned to his seat and waited for Luca to come back. Wagging his legs, he mumbled to himself, "I wonder what would Ms. Luca cook for us today?"

That made Luke think of the same question too.

Meanwhile, Luca went into the supermarket and quickly placed fresh food ingredients into her basket.

She knew that Tommy and Luke were both picky eaters, so she had to be meticulous.

She devised a recipe as she picked up the food ingredients. After that, she realized that there should be no seasonings or spaghetti in the apartment, so she added those to the shopping basket.

Luca approached the checkout counter with a full shopping basket.

It was the evening rush hour, so the queue was very long. By the time she came out of the supermarket, it had already been half an hour.

She rushed toward the car while carrying two shopping bags.

Tommy saw her coming from afar and happily opened the car door. "You're finally back, Ms. Luca!"

Luca put the two bags in the car before sitting inside. She glanced at the man in the driver's seat and blurted an apology. "I'm sorry, there are a lot of people in the supermarket." "It's fine." Luke saw her red

face in the rearview mirror. She had been walking hastily while carrying two seemingly heavy shopping bags...

Luca raised her head and looked at the rearview mirror too.

Luke was taken aback. After coming to his senses, he started the car and drove toward the apartment.

In the car, Tommy looked at the two bulging shopping bags excitedly with sparkling eyes. "Why did you buy so much food, Ms. Luca? Daddy might be a big eater, but he won't be able to finish everything."

Luca patted his head and explained, "There's also spaghetti and seasonings inside." "Oh!" Tommy nodded.

Luke overheard that while driving. He was impressed that Luca was meticulous enough to guess that there was no seasonings or spaghetti at the apartment.

When they arrived at the apartment, Luca brought the two shopping bags out of the car. After her training on the Island of Despair, she did not find those bags heavy.

"Let me help you, Ms. Luca." Tommy behaved like a gentleman.

Luca did not let go of the bags. "I can do it myself. They're not very heavy." "Daddy..." Tommy turned around to look at Luke, who was walking behind them. "Can you help Ms. Luca?"

"Mm." Luke nodded and said to Luca, "Allow me."

Tm fine..." Before she could finish her sentence, Luke had taken the shopping bags from her hands.

When Luke bent over to take the bags, she could smell the familiar cold and sharp scent of mint on him.

Luca's eyes reddened slightly. That was his unique scent. Every sleepless night on the Island of Despair, she could not help but think of him.

Luke took the bags and headed toward the elevator.

An elevator happened to be waiting on their first floor, and the three people went in. Luca was seized by a wave of emotions when she saw Luke press a familiar button.

That used to be her home too...

Luca's phone started ringing and interrupted her thoughts. She frantically took her phone out and saw that it was Amur calling her.

It was not appropriate for her to answer the call because Luke was nearby. She rejected the call, then sent a text message to Amur, saying that she would have to work overtime and not be home for dinner.

Very quickly, Amur replied with his acknowledgment.

Luca put her phone away.

"Who was it?" Luke asked.

Luca was taken aback by the question. "It was a telemarketer."

Luke did not ask any further questions, even though he knew that she was lying. She would not have replied to a telemarketer with a message after rejecting the call.

Luca gently lowered her head. When she heard the elevator doors open, she lifted her head again and saw Luke stepping out of the elevator.

Tommy shook her hand. "We're here, Ms. Luca." "Mm." Luca nodded and walked out of the elevator with the boy.

Tommy let go of Luca's hand and ran happily toward the door. He keyed in the passcode and unlocked the door with a click.

"Come in, Ms. Luca!" The boy waved excitedly at Luca.

Luca smiled. She looked at Luke and saw that he was still standing at the door...

Suddenly, she felt a little nervous.

"Go in," Luke said, noticing the slight change in her expression.

Luca nodded and went inside.

Luke took the two shopping bags and went to the kitchen.

"The kitchen is over there, Ms. Luca," Tommy said excitedly.

"Alright." Luca looked at Tommy. His enthusiasm seemed to have affected her, and she could not help but smile. She did not expect that he would be so excited over a meal.

Luca looked around the living room. The furnishings remained the same; it was as though she had stepped into a time machine and returned to three years ago.

Her gaze fell on the television, and she could see her face on the reflective surface.

Luca was brought back to the present. She did not travel through time; it was just that nothing had changed.

The only thing that changed was herself. Her face and role were different, while Tommy had grown taller.

Luca looked away, unwilling to see her face. She lowered her head and said to Tommy, Til be going into the kitchen." "Alright, Ms. Luca." Tommy nodded and sat on the couch. His parents had told him that children should not go into the kitchen, so he did not follow.

In the kitchen, Luca saw Luke taking out the items from the shopping bags.

She saw him put a pack of spaghetti on the kitchen counter and told him," Let me do it."

Luke stepped aside. He was not familiar with the workings of a kitchen.

Without saying a word, Luca quickly took the items out of the shopping bags and arranged them on the kitchen counter.

Luke furrowed his brows slightly as he observed her doing that. There was a certain order to the items.

The order seemed somewhat familiar too.

"Is that also how you arrange your items?" Luke asked abruptly.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1159- Habits

Luca was surprised. She had not put too much thought into how she arranged her items, and she had done what she always did.

Three years ago, Luke would occasionally step into the kitchen to watch her cook. He had even asked her about how she arranged the items, and she had patiently explained it to him...

"Also?" Luca was flustered for a second, but she soon composed herself. She turned her head to look at him. "Have you seen someone else arrange her items like this?" "My wife," Luke said. "She used to arrange her items like this."

Luca nodded. That was how she had arranged her items since she was young. Even though she had not stepped into the kitchen for three years, she could remember how to do it when faced with a variety of items.

"I learned this method from the Internet. This way, I can efficiently find the things I want, and that'll help me cook faster. Not only that, but I also arrange my apparatus like this when I'm in the lab. I won't have to waste time looking for the things I want."

Luke nodded. He stared at the kitchen counter, thinking of something.

It was normal for two people to share some similarities. Perhaps Tommy was fond of Luca because she shared some similarities with the Bianca from before.

How about him then?

Luke was confused. He had never approached another woman so readily and hoped to know her better.

That was not how he usually acted.

Seeing that Luke was still standing there, she said, "Can you leave the kitchen for a while, Mr. Crawford? I'm not used to someone watching me cook."

She was afraid that Luke might catch on to some of her other quirks.

She did not expect that Luke knew her so well, that he could think of the previous Bianca just by watching her arrange the items on the kitchen counter.

Luke might not have thought that Luca and the previous Bianca were the same person, but she could not bear to see the confusion in his eyes.

What had she done to make the man so concerned about her?

Luke nodded and left the kitchen.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief, though she felt very dejected. Earlier, she hoped that Luke would suspect her for the slightest bit.

He did not, and everything was just as usual.

Luca took out the rest of the items from the bags in a daze and prepared to cook.

Luke sat on a chair in the dining hall and listened to what was going on in the kitchen.

The door was open, and he could hear everything clearly.

His gaze became even more profound as he heard her turn on the tap.

Everyone had their method of arranging items, and it was impossible that the two people could behave so similarly.

Luca's explanation earlier was quite far-fetched.

"What are you doing, Daddy?" Tommy thought that the cartoon on the television was boring, so he ran over to the dining hall.

"Nothing," Luke said. He did not want to tell his son what he was thinking.

Luke's phone rang. It was from Bianca.

Luke answered it.

"Luke, the butler said that you and Tommy aren't not having dinner at home tonight. Do you have a business dinner to attend?" Bianca's voice was heard from the other end of the phone.

Luke looked at Tommy, who was sprawled over the table. "I'm working overtime today."

"With Tommy?" Bianca felt a little suspicious. When Sean, the driver, came home and said that Luke had taken Tommy from school, she did not think too much about it. It was only when she got to know that Luke was not coming home for dinner that she began to wonder what was happening.

"Tommy wasn't feeling well earlier. I picked him up from school, and he's now in the company with me," Luke explained.

"If that's the case, should I send some food over?" Bianca felt a little more at ease after hearing his explanation.

Whenever there was a change in Luke's schedule, she would immediately think that it had something to do with Ivana.

"There's no need. We're getting food delivered." Luke looked at Tommy. He was grinning cheekily, as though telling him that he should not have lied.

However, he had to tell the lie. If he told Bianca his current location truthfully, she would definitely overthink and go crazy.

Bianca was too lazy to go to T Corporation anyway; it was quite far from Crawford Manor. She would not have said that if not that she had to pretend that she cared.

She was quite happy when Luke said that she need not go. "Alright then, come back soon." "Mm,” Luke replied and ended the call.

Tommy was grinning. "You shouldn't lie, Daddy." "I wouldn't need to tell a lie if not for your cravings," Luke said with a straight face.

"You only agreed to my suggestion because you also want to try Ms. Luca's cooking, don’t you?" Tommy said. He was smart enough to tell what his father was thinking.

"Don't tell anyone else what we did today," Luke said.

"I know!" Tommy also knew what was going on. He placed a finger in front of his lips and blinked. "This is a secret between me, Daddy, and Ms. Luca!"

Meanwhile, Luca was very busy in the kitchen.

Tommy was only a child, so he would not realize that her cooking tasted exactly like the previous Bianca's cooking.

However, Luke was not the same.

She realized that Luke had remembered Bianca’s mannerisms, so she had to change the way she cooked so that they did not taste the same as before.

Luca was doing all she could so that Luke did not suspect that she was the real Bianca.

She finished cooking one and a half hours later. After tasting the dishes and finding that they were different from before, she served the food on the dining table.

"That smells really good, Ms. Luca!" Tommy cheered.

Luca could not help but smile. "Let's eat. Go and wash your hands." "Yay!" Tommy held Luke's hand. "Wash your hands, Daddy!"

Luke nodded slightly. He shot a glance at the food on the table and realized that he was looking forward to eating it.

Her method of arranging things was the same as Bianca's. Would her cooking taste the same too?

Luke brought Tommy to the sink while Luca placed individual portions of food on different plates. She handed a child-sized plate to Tommy, then another plate to Luke.

"Thank you, Ms. Luca!" Tommy smiled brilliantly and began to shovel spaghetti into his mouth.

"Let's eat." Luca sat opposite him and glanced at Luke. "Won't you give it a try? If the food doesn't suit your tastes, I can fix it in the kitchen."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1160- Her Reluctance "Your food is amazing, Ms. Luca!" Tommy said cheerfully as he picked up a pork chop.

Luca smiled and stole a glance at Luke. He was eating a fish fillet, and she could not discern his expression.

She could tell if Luke was enjoying the food or not.

Luke ate silently without saying a word. Not speaking while eating had been a good habit of his.

Luca silently nibbled on a piece of broccoli.

The only sounds around the dining table were from Tommy eating loudly. When the father and son fought over the last fish fillet, Luca could feel the rivalry between them.

"There's more in the kitchen," she said, not expecting that the dish would be so popular.

Luke was not going to fight his son for a fish fillet. He pulled his hand back, and Tommy gleefully took the fish fillet away.

Luca hastily picked up the plate. "I'll go and get some more for you, Mr.

Crawford."

Luke shot a glance at her bowl and said. "Don't worry about it. You've been eating only vegetables." "Huh?" Luca realized what he was saying and quickly nodded. "Alright."

She picked up a pork chop and placed it on her plate.

She knew that Tommy loved her pork chops, so she had not taken any for herself.

Luke's gaze turned profound when he saw how Luca ate carefully in small bites.

She was well-mannered, as though she was well-taught in etiquette.

After dinner, Tommy patted her bulging stomach and burped. "Your

cooking is really delicious, Ms. Luca. I hope I can eat your cooking every day so that I'll become tall and strong!"

Luca smiled as she cleared the table.

"Just leave it. The cleaner will come tomorrow," Luke said.

"Alright." Luca did not insist. She glanced at the father and the son and said, "Do you want some fruit?"

Tommy's eyes sparkled. "Yes, Ms. Luca!"

He wanted to eat everything that Luca prepared for him.

Luca smiled when she saw Tommy's face. She walked into the kitchen, brought out a bunch of grapes on a plate, and placed it on the dining table.

Tommy blinked. "You're amazing, Ms. Luca. How do you know that I love grapes?" "Do you love grapes? Then you should eat more." Luca pushed the plate in front of him, then looked at Luke. "It's getting late, Mr. Crawford. I'd like to go home."

I'll give you a ride," Luke said. The sky was completely dark, and it was already quite late.

Luca refused. "It's fine. I'll catch a cab myself. Bye."

After that, she walked toward the door.

Luke had the sudden urge to rush up to her and insist on sending her back home.

However, he did not do so. He was in a daze as he saw the door open and close.

"Why didn't you stop her, Daddy?" Even Tommy could tell that Luke was about to stand up.

"Eat your grapes." Luke's expression darkened. He shot a glance at the grapes. They were fresh and were still coated in water droplets.

"Oh," Tommy said and continued to eat the sweet and juicy grapes.

After leaving the apartment, Luca caught a cab and went home.

The surrounding scenery only made her feel melancholy.

Back at her apartment, she pushed the door open and saw that Amur had been waiting for her. She smiled and said, "I'm home." "Welcome home." Amur could tell that she was exhausted. He said out of concern, "Did you have a lot of work to do today?" "No." Luca saw Amur's equipment on the table. "Is it time that you went on the mission?" "Yes." Amur nodded. His target was back in the country, so it was about time to act.

"Take care." Luca went over to the coffee table, inspected his equipment, and patted his shoulder. After Amur completed his mission, he would be going back to the Island of Despair, and she would be alone once more.

"Mm." Amur grinned sheepishly.

Luca nodded. She knew the rules of the Island of Despair, so she did not ask him any details about his mission.

"I won't bother you then. I'll be sleeping soon," she said.

"Alright." Amur was polishing his weapon. The retractable long sword was his weapon of choice when he had resolved to protect Eler and Luca.

He had been carrying the weapon with him for three years, and his fighting skills had improved considerably.

After Luca went back to her bedroom, Amur took out a black listening device from his pocket and stuck it to the underside of the coffee table.

He was worried that Luca might face some difficulties after he left, so he decided to plant a bug in the apartment that might come in useful someday.

After installing the bug, he packed up his equipment and went to his bedroom.

Before he closed the door, he stared at the tightly shut door of Luca's bedroom. He held his breath and heard nothing coming out of her bedroom.

Luca did not know that Amur had a very keen sense of smell.

She had told him that she was working overtime, but he could smell the scent of oil and smoke on her.

If she had been working overtime, why would she be cooking?

After Tommy finished his grapes, he and Luke returned to Crawford Manor.

In the car, Tommy wagged his legs and smiled. "Daddy, don't you think that Ms. Luca's cooking is amazing?" "It's not bad," Luke commented.

Tommy sighed. "Her cooking tastes a little different today though. The last time she made fish fillets for dinner, they tasted exactly like how Mommy used to make them." "Is that so?" Luke paid no heed to

what Tommy said. After all, Tommy was still a toddler back then. He would not have remembered how Bianca's cooking tasted like.

"Daddy, we should invite Ms. Luca for dinner more often," Tommy said. If his father could invite Luca for dinner, he would be able to eat Luca's delicious cooking more often.

Luke glanced at his son. He wondered if the cook at Crawford Manor was doing a bad job.

"Daddy?" Tommy waited for his reply.

If his father would agree to his request, he would be able to regularly eat Luca's cooking.

"She's not our cook. We shouldn't trouble her," Luke said.

Luca might not have said anything, but Luke could tell that she was reluctant to have them over.

Even at the workplace, Luke could sense that Luca was trying to keep her distance from him.

"I don't think Ms. Luca finds it troublesome." Tommy pouted. It was the first time that he had an instant liking of a stranger.

"Alright, we shouldn't talk about this when we get home. You wouldn't want Mommy to worry, would you?" Luke saw that they were nearing Crawford Manor. He reminded his son not to speak about Luca in front of Bianca.

"I won’t." Tommy covered his mouth to show that he would keep it a secret. He saw what happened the day before yesterday, and he would not want to bring any trouble to Luca.

Luke pressed a button on his remote, and the front gate slowly opened. He drove the car inside.

Bianca stood on the second floor and watched Luke's car enter the garage. She put on her jacket, thought for a while, and went downstairs to greet him.
