Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1341-Dr. Craw Is Not Bad

Sue and Jason wanted to invite Luca for dinner to thank her. They did not want to make it too restrictive, which was why they had planned for a home-cooked dinner.

Now that Luca had come to their house bearing gifts, it felt too formal.

It would be rude for Sue not to accept the gifts, so she took the bulging shopping bag from Luca's hands. "Thanks, but you shouldn't have. We should be the ones to thank you."

"You're welcome," Luca smiled and said. She saw Jason come out of the kitchen wearing an apron. She smiled and said, "So this is how you look when you're out of a suit, Mr. Doyle."

Jason smiled. "Don’t tease me, Dr. Craw. Sue, what do you plan to do with the fish?"

"How about roasting it with herb stuffing?" Sue said, then turned to ask Luca, "Dr. Craw, do you like roast fish? Let me know if you'd rather eat something else. We've prepared a lot of ingredients today."

"I'm not picky. I'd be glad to eat whatever you serve," Luca said.

"If that's the case, I'll make you all my favorite dishes!" Sue said. She handed the shopping bag to the caretaker, then rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen as though she was ready to showcase her skills.

Jason could not help but smile when he saw Sue's expression.

He knew the level of Sue's culinary skills. She would rather stay away from the kitchen, but she had to learn how to cook so that her children could eat healthily.

Jason had tasted Luca's cooking while in New York, and he could tell that Luca was a far better cook than Sue.

"Sue, Dr. Craw is a very good cook. I tried her cooking once in New York. It tastes better than many of the popular restaurants you can find here," Jason said.

'Really? I'd like to try." Sue widened her eyes in excitement when she heard that. She was a huge food lover.

"But Sue..." Jason cleared his throat, reminding her that they were the hosts tonight, and Luca was the guest. It would be inappropriate to ask their guest to cook for them...

"I'd love to taste your cooking some other day, Dr. Craw. You'll have to taste mine today," Sue said with a wide grin on her face.

"Of course," Luca replied with a smile. She was happy to see this other side of Sue's personality.

It meant that Sue treated her as a friend.

Sue went into the kitchen and said to the caretaker, "Make a cup of tea for Dr. Craw. Dr. Craw, please make yourself at home. Dinner will be served soon."

"Alright." Luca nodded and sat down on the couch in the

living room. She wanted to help, but her current identity was not that close to Sue yet, so she gave up on the idea.

The caretaker served her a small pot of tea. "Please have some tea, Dr. Craw."

"Thank you." Luca poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip. Kari and Teri came over with their dolls and a dollhouse.

"Ms. Luca, can you play with us?" Kari said.

Luca nodded and said, ’’Alright."

Sue and Jason were busy in the kitchen.

"You say that Dr. Craw is a good cook?" Sue suddenly asked.

"Yes." After Jason gave his reply, he was afraid that Sue might overthink, so he added, "Little Mr. Crawford wanted to eat Dr. Craw's cooking while we were taking care of Mr.

Crawford in the hospital, so I was lucky to taste it."

Sue did not misunderstand him. After all, she trusted him.

She nodded and said, "Did any of you tell Bianca about how Luke ended up in the hospital over there?"

"I don't think anyone did. We were very busy in New York, and we barely returned to our hotels. Most of the time was spent in the office," Jason said. During that period, he rarely saw Luke do anything else outside of work, so Luke probably did not tell Bianca.

"So does that mean Bianca doesn't know?" Sue remembered how she had tried to hint about it to Bianca, but Bianca had given her an impatient reply. Subconsciously, she applied more strength to her knife.

"Are you still thinking of telling her?" Jason shook his head and took the knife from her hands in case she hurt herself because she could not control her emotions.

"No." Sue went to wash the vegetables instead. She replied," I think that Dr. Craw is a nice person. She also saved Kari's life, and she's considered your colleague. I don't think it's right for me to speak ill of her."

"It's good that you understand," Jason said with a smile. His impression of Luca had changed over time. He thought that Luca was not the type of woman who wanted to get close to Luke because of his wealth.

In fact, he could tell that Luca would occasionally deliberately distance herself from Luke.

"Right, can you check with your boss to see if he's really coming?" Sue said. She was not the one who invited Luke. Of course, Jason did not invite him either.

Luke happened to be nearby when Jason was discussing with Sue over the phone about inviting Luca over for dinner. When he heard that, he asked if he could come too.

As his subordinate, Jason could not refuse.

"I've asked him earlier. He said that he’ll be here soon," Jason said.

Sue put the washed vegetables aside. She could hear the children playing happily in the living room. Occasionally, she could also hear them calling out "Ms. Luca." She guessed

that Luca and the girls were having fun together.

"I don't know why your boss wants to come. I bet Dr. Craw would be so surprised when she sees him later."

Jason shook his head and placed the fish on the baking tray. Suddenly, he said, "Don't you find Dr. Craw familiar somehow?"

"No," Sue shook her head and said. "I haven't been acquainted with her for very long, so I don't find her familiar."

"Sometimes, Dr. Craw gives me this feeling that I've known her for many years. I must have been mistaken though.

She's from Russia, and I don't think that I've met her before," Jason said.

Sue frowned slightly. Now that she thought about it, she realized that Luca seemed too friendly at times.

They had only met once, but she had tasked her younger brother to protect her and the children from the shadows.

"Right, have you met Dr. Craw's younger brother? Dr. Craw has Caucasian features, but her younger brother has ethnic features. How did that happen?" Sue tried to find some more information from Jason.

Jason handed the tray to her and said, "Dr. Craw said that their family adopted the boy when he was young, and that's why they don't look alike. I've cleaned the fish, and the rest is up to you.”

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1342-You’re Amazing, Uncle Luke!

Sue took the tray and started stuffing the fish with herbs and vegetables. She remembered Luke's character and asked Jason, "Mr. Crawford is a picky eater. Is he going to comment on my cooking?"

"I don't think so," Jason said after giving the question some thought. He added, "He probably won't touch it.”

"That'll be so awkward. I don't even know why he wants to come," Sue mumbled.

Jason shook his head and continued to help Sue in the kitchen.

In the living room, Kari and Teri were holding their dolls in their hands while Luca helped them dress up the dolls and braid their hair. She found the tasks easy because she had played with dolls with Rainie before.

Kari smiled sweetly when Luca was done with her doll. "You made the doll look pretty, Ms. Luca," she said.

"Yes! That's better than what Mommy can do," Teri said.

Luca smiled sheepishly. Sue would not be happy if she heard her daughters say that.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

The caretaker, who had been sitting in the living room, stood up and said, "The other guest should be here. I'll go and open the door."

Luca was quite surprised to hear that. Another guest? Who else did they invite?'

When Kari heard that, she put her doll away and said," Hooray! Uncle Luke is here!"

Luca's eyes slightly widened as she looked toward the front door.

Jason's house was a small-sized mansion. Two minutes later, Luca saw Luke come in through the door.

Luca was stunned. She did not expect Luke to be a surprise guest at Jason's house.

Jason came out of the kitchen and greeted him. "You're here, Mr. Crawford. Make yourself at home. Dinner will be served soon."

Luke nodded slightly and said calmly, "Don't worry about me.

Jason nodded and told the caretaker, "Please pour a cup of tea for Mr. Crawford."

"Yes." The caretaker brought Luke a cup and filled it with the fresh tea from the teapot.

Luke took the cup and sat down on the couch. He glanced at the dollhouse and the accessories for the dolls on the coffee table, then looked at Luca.

Luca was currently holding a doll's dress in her hands.

She tried to remain composed as she put the dress away." What a coincidence, Mr. Crawford," she said.

"Mm." Luke nodded, brought the cup to his lips, and took a sip. He did not tell her that he had overheard Jason's plan and insisted on coming.

He did not know why he wanted to go there, but he really wanted to meet Luca.

Gale and Rain had investigated her background. Luke had read the document over and over, but he still thought that Luca's identity was a mystery.

Luca looked away. She was about to continue to play with the girls when she realized that they were sitting next to Luke. "Come and play with us, Uncle Luke," they said with smiles on their faces.

Luca raised an eyebrow when she heard that.

’Why would the girls invite Luke to play with them? Luke had never played with dolls, not even with Rainie.'

Luca did not say anything. She wanted to see how Luke would react.

Luke looked at the dolls in the girls' hands. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Luca was observing him with great interest, so he gladly took the dolls.

Kari said, "Ms. Luca had just changed the doll's clothes. Can you help me braid her hair?"

"Mm." Luke found the toy comb on the coffee table and began to braid a ponytail for the dolls.

Luca was surprised to see that his fingers were quite nimble. He deftly straightened the doll's hair with a comb, split it into three parts, and began to braid them together.

'Since when did Luke play with girls' toys?' Luca thought, still in disbelief by what she saw.

Sue was done cooking dinner, and she came out of the kitchen. She chuckled when she saw Luke braiding the doll's hair, not thinking that it was out of the ordinary. "Mr.

Crawford, I suppose you have enough practice at home braiding Rainie's hair every day. Are you applying what you've learned on the dolls now?"

Luca was even more surprised when she heard that. She could not believe that Luke was the one who braided

Rainie's hair.

When she was Bianca, she was the one who braided Rainie's hair every day. She thought that after she was abducted, the impostor Bianca would be the one to braid Rainie's hair...

Luke finished braiding the last bit and tied up the hair with a rubber band. He was not angry that Sue was teasing him." Rainie has been braiding her own hair now," he said calmly.

"She's a big girl now, and her standards have become higher. If you don't practice your braiding daily, she won't like what you do. Right, I don't think she'd like old-fashioned braids too. I just bought a book on braids. Do you want to see it?" Sue said teasingly while patting Teri's head.

Luke was Jason's boss, but he was not her boss. That was why Sue did not hold back when talking to him.

"It's fine," Luke said as he handed the doll to Kari.

"She looks beautiful. You're amazing, Uncle Luke!" Kari said happily. She lifted the doll and showed it to Luca. "What do you think, Ms. Luca?"

Luca nodded. "It looks good."

She was still thinking about how Luke had braided Rainie's hair. She did not expect that he would do that.

It seemed that the impostor Bianca did not treat the children well. However, that allowed Luke to shower his love and care toward them.

Luca was beginning to feel emotional.

Sue chuckled when she heard Kari's praise for Luke. "My dear, that's as much as your darling Uncle Luke can do."

Jason happened to hear what Sue said to Luke as he came out of the kitchen. His heart skipped a beat.

Sue and Luke frequently butted heads over the management and development of Brilliant Architecture. However, Luke had the last word, and Sue would usually have to comply.

Even though Luke had never made a wrong decision for the company over the past three years, Sue would never miss a chance to get even with him.

Luke would not argue with Sue, but he would sometimes blame Jason for it. Now that Sue was openly teasing Luke, Jason figured that he would be the unlucky one.

Jason sighed discreetly, then said, "Dinner is ready."

Sue smiled and looked at Luca. "This way, please, Dr. Craw."

Luca turned her head away from Luke, stood up, and went to the dining hall with Sue.

Jason also said, "Dinner is ready, Mr. Crawford."

Luke nodded and stood up.

Kari put the doll away and followed him to the dining hall.

The dining table was rectangular. After the hosts and the children sat down, Luca found her seat.

Meanwhile, Luke was sitting opposite her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1343-She Wanted to Run Away

Luca lifted her head, and the two pairs of eyes met, which caused her to shudder involuntarily.

Sue took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet. She smiled and said, "I'm in the mood today. Shall we all have a drink? I know it's weird to pair red wine with fish, but we're all friends here, and we don't really mind that, do we?"

Luca's alcohol capacity was quite high now, and she did not have to drive herself home later, so she had no problems with drinking during dinner. She nodded and said, "Alright."

Luke did not voice his opinion.

Jason said, "Let's not, Sue. Ms. Crawford drove here. If he drank wine, how is he going to drive home later?"

"If he can't drive home, he can spend the night here," Sue said matter-of-factly. "Mr. Crawford, if you don't want to spend the night here, I'll get some freshly-squeezed orange juice for you. That's what the children are drinking too."

Luke glanced at the bottle of red wine in her hands. He knew that Jason had bought some bottles while on a business trip in France a few years ago, and Jason had planned to save them for a special occasion.

"Red wine is fine." Luke made his decision. He did not want to be drinking orange juice together with the children.

Sue nodded and asked the caretaker to bring four wine glasses. "That's more like it. It's a special occasion today, and we ought to drink some wine to celebrate it. If you can't drive, I'll get a cab for you."

Jason massaged his temples when he heard what Sue said.

The caretaker brought four wine glasses to the table. Sue uncorked the wine and poured it into the glasses. "We don't have time to decant the wine, so let's just drink it straight from the bottle. This wine has a great texture, and it's quite good even if you don't decant it."

"Thank you," Luca said with a smile as she took the wine glass from Sue's hand.

"Don't be a stranger, Dr. Craw," Sue said magnanimously." Right, calling you 'Dr. Craw' sounds too formal. Is it okay if I call you by your name?"

Luca nodded and said, "Of course."

"Luca sounds better anyway," Sue said while pouring the wine into Luke's glass. "Have a taste, Mr. Crawford. Jason bought the wine while he was on a business trip to France, and I heard that you bought a case too. Have you finished it? tv

Jason shook his head again. Sue had not touched a drop of alcohol yet, but she spoke as though she were already drunk. 'Doesn't she know who she’s speaking to?' He thought.

"Not yet." Luke took the glass and shook it gently.

Sue said, "Fine wine is meant for drinking. You should drink yours soon. It might taste richer the longer you store it, but it won't taste as unique."

Jason stood up and took the bottle from Sue's hands. "Let me do it."

Sue did not try to snatch the bottle back from Jason. She sat down, smiled, and looked at Luca as Luca took a sip of wine. "What do you think of the wine, Luca?" She asked.

"I don't drink wine often, but I like the taste and texture. This should be suitable for women," Luca said after rolling the wine in her mouth for a while.

"That's right, Dr. Craw. This wine is suitable for women." Jason poured a glass of wine for Sue, then poured himself a glass.

Luke turned his gaze toward Luca and said, "I didn't expect that you know quite a bit about wine, Dr. Craw."

"My parents like to drink wine," Luca said and took another sip.

Luke raised his eyebrows. "I thought that Russians like to drink vodka. What about you, Dr. Craw?"

"As long as it's good quality," Luca said with a smile.

Kari gently tugged Sue's shirt sleeve, then stared at Sue with her big, round eyes as though she wanted to tell her something. Sue immediately understood, and she began to distribute the food to the people around the table. "Mr. Crawford, Luca, you can save the wine for after you've tasted my cooking. Here, have a taste of the herb-stuffed roast fish I've made."

Luca took a bite and nodded approvingly. "The fish is fresh and tender. This is tasty."

"You don't know how glad I am to hear that. I've heard from Jason that you're an excellent cook, and I was worried that you might not like my cooking," Sue said while putting some fish on her daughters' plates. Naturally, she did not bother serving Luke.

Jason said, "Please eat, Mr. Crawford."

Luke picked up a piece of fish with his fork, put it in his mouth, and carefully chewed it. The fish was quite fresh, but the taste was not very remarkable.

It could not compare to Luca's cooking.

"He's exaggerating. I'm not as skilled as he says,” Luca said humbly. As she ate, she carefully observed Luke's actions.

Luke stopped eating after a bite. It seemed that the food was not to his tastes.

Luca knew that Crawford Manor had a skilled cook. Why did he insist on having dinner here? Did he have something to discuss with Jason?

Luca quickly dismissed that thought. Jason was Luke's subordinate, and if Luke wanted to discuss something with Jason, Jason should have been the one to go and look for Luke...

"You're too humble," Sue said. If even Jason praised Luca's cooking, Sue could tell that she was an excellent cook.

Suddenly, she remembered that Bianca was also a good cook until she lost her memories.

Bianca had taught her how to make the herb-stuffed roast fish. Unfortunately, Sue did not manage to get the recipe for the herb stuffing from her before she lost her memories.

Sue thought that it was a pity.

After finishing the bottle of wine, Sue uncorked another two bottles. After the caretaker brought the twin girls to their bedrooms, the adults sat down in the living room, drinking and chatting.

Luke was the one who drank the least.

Sue glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. She said, "You shouldn't go home today, Luca. It's already so late, and it'll be hard for you to catch a cab."

"I don't think I should impose on you. It might be late, but I know that I can get cabs easily in this area." Luca shook her head. She took out her phone and prepared to book a cab.

When Luke saw that, he said, "I'll send you home. It's along the way."

Luca frowned slightly when she looked at the wine glass in his hand. "You drank quite a lot of wine, Mr. Crawford. I don't think you should drive."

"My driver is already waiting for us outside," Luke said. He knew that he was going to drink wine, so he had already sent a message to Sean. Currently, Sean was waiting outside the mansion for the dinner to end.

Now that someone was sending Luca home, Sue did not intend to keep her there. Even though she did not like Luke, she trusted his character.

After finishing the last of the wine, they said goodbye to each other.

Luca took her handbag and left the living room. Luke was walking next to her.

They walked out of the small mansion with only two parking lots. Luke's car was waiting for them across the road, and they had to step out of the gate.

Jason was walking in front of them, leading the way.

Luca stole a glance at the man next to her. His well-built body should have given her a sense of safety, but at that moment, Luca wanted nothing more than to run away.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1344-The Distance Between Them

Jason saw them off at the front gate. They were about a hundred meters away from where Luke's car was parked.

While they were walking toward Luke's car, Luca took the opportunity to say, "It's fine, Mr. Crawford, I can go back on my own."

"Are you afraid of me?" Luke suddenly stopped walking, turned around, and looked into her eyes.

Luca was taken aback by the question. Was she afraid of him? She could not say so, but she hoped that she could avoid any interactions with him. If she eventually failed to escape from Abel's clutches, or if she was too late and he had already found someone else, she would not have to be so sad.

By reducing her interactions with him, she hoped that she would be able to accept the eventuality that she might not meet him again.

"I'm not afraid of you. It's just that it's already so late, and our houses are in separate directions. If you send me home, it'll be very late by the time you get back to your house. Mrs. Crawford should be waiting for you at home, right?" Luca also stopped walking.

"She never waits for me," Luke said as he stared at her. The street light cast a dreamy aura around Luca's figure.

That woman back at home was an impostor, and she could not be the real Bianca no matter how hard she tried.

The only woman that would wait for him was Bianca. No other woman could replace her position in his heart.

Seeing that Luca did not speak, Luke continued, "If you don't want to get into my car, it'll be even later by the time I get home."

Luca was speechless. If she did not get into his car, the both of them would be standing there for a very long time.

Eventually, she said,"... Thank you, Mr. Crawford."

Luke continued walking after he heard that. Luca walked next to him.

After the two people got into the car, Luke told Sean to send Luca back to her apartment first. Then, Luke leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes.

Luca looked at him with the corner of her eye. Her hands are clasped tightly together. Whenever she was with him, she dared not move a muscle.

Carefully, she leaned back on her seat. Even though it was said that one would not get drunk easily on red wine, she had drunk quite a bit, and she felt a little dizzy.

After leaning backward, she slowly closed her eyes.

"Sir, Ms. Craw, we have arrived." That was the next thing she heard.

Luca slowly opened her eyes. She had been feeling dizzy because of the alcohol, and it was a smooth ride. She must

have fallen asleep earlier.

She glanced outside the window. Indeed, they were in front of her apartment.

Luca sat up straight. Before she could open the door, she heard Luke say, "I have something I want to talk to you about."

Her hand froze in mid-air.

"Sean, would you mind stepping outside for a bit?" Luke said.

"Not at all, Sir." Sean quickly stepped out of the car.

Only Luca and Luke were left in the car.

She saw the man slowly sit up straight. Subconsciously, she also straightened her back. The two people looked at each other.

"What do you want to talk about, Mr. Crawford?"

"Why are you so afraid of me?" Luke asked.

Luca bit her lower lip. She did not want to answer the question.

She used to be afraid of him. The man was powerful, domineering, and possessive. Whenever she was with him, she felt so restricted that she struggled to breathe.

She was afraid to fall helplessly for him, just like so many other women did.

However, she was not afraid of Luke now.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Luke could see that Luca was deep in thought. If she continued to bite her lip, she might bruise it.

Luca slowly opened her mouth. "I'm not afraid of you, so I don't know what to say."

"You say that you're not afraid of me, but you always want to avoid me. People who avoid me tend to be afraid of me," Luke said. He could not understand what she was thinking, but he wanted to find out more.

"I’m not like them. To me, you're my superior at work, and I'm only an employee. I think there ought to be some distance between us so that people would not misunderstand. There's nothing more I hate than being misunderstood, and I hope that you won't trouble me this way," Luca said, hoping that Luke would understand her predicament and not worsen the situation.

"I agree with what you say, that there ought to be some distance between a boss and their employee. However, I only like employees with clean backgrounds. What are you hiding from me?" Luke gradually inched closer to Luca.

Luca could sense that Luke was getting closer and closer. She wanted to open the door and leave, but she realized that the driver had locked the door from the outside...

"I'm sure that you have investigated my background, Mr. Crawford. What else can I tell you? Also, I believe that we've talked about it the last time."

Luke gazed at her intently.

Indeed, they had talked about her background the last time, but he thought that there was still something missing.

Luca had so many secrets. It made him want to find out more...

"I'm tired, Mr. Crawford. I want to go home and rest." Luca saw that Luke was looking at her. His gaze was like a whirlpool that threatened to pull her in if she was not careful.

All she wanted was some peace and quiet.

"If you want to rest, you have to tell me who you really are." Luke remembered the odd sense of familiarity that he found in her when they first met.

It was as though she had been by his side for many years.

He used to dismiss that feeling as mere fantasy, but after discovering that Bianca was an impostor, he realized that there might be some truth to what he felt.

"I..." Luca was at a loss for words as she watched him inch closer and closer to her until there was less than a foot of space between them. She bit her lip angrily and said, "I'm Ivana Luca Craw from Russia. What else do you want to know?"

"So many things. I want to know what you're thinking and what you're hiding from me," Luke said.

There was only a handspan between them. The masculine hormones from his body took her breath away. Before she lost control of herself, she shoved the man away with both of her hands. "Mr. Crawford, please think of Mrs. Crawford."

After Luke was shoved backward, he leaned against the car door and raised his eyebrows.

Luca took a deep breath to calm down. Her face was beet- red. If she had not shoved him away, their lips might have touched...

"Let me tell you once and for all, Mr. Crawford, what you see is the real me. I am only your employee, and I've never thought that I'd be anything else. Please respect my boundaries and do not do this again. I will not tell anyone else about what happened earlier," she said. novelbin

Luke could tell that she was hoping to distance herself from him. With a pensive expression on his face, he took out his phone and gave the driver a call. "Open the door."

Sean immediately came over and opened the car door for Luca.

Immediately after the door was opened, Luca instantly felt the cool night breeze hit her face. She got out of the car and ran away as though she was escaping from something scary.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1345-Would He Have Kissed You?

After Luca left, Sean returned to the driver's seat and asked

Luke, "Shall we go back to Crawford Manor now, Sir?" "Let's go." After watching Luca's figure disappear into the night, he turned his head away and said.

After Sean heard that, he started the car.

Luke continued, "Don’t tell anyone about what happened earlier."

"I saw nothing, Sir," Sean replied. He understood what Luke meant.

Luke said nothing. He leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes.

The odd sense of familiarity became more intense when he went closer to her earlier. When she said the words "Mrs. Crawford,” that had made him inexplicably angry. novelbin

It was as though those words should not have been spoken by her mouth.

He could not describe the feeling he had earlier. He knew that he had never lost control like that for a long time. When he was at the closest point, his full attention was focused on her lips.

If she did not stop her, would he have kissed her? 1

Luke was suddenly reminded of the impostor Bianca and thought that it was time to act. He did not have the patience to condone her presence in his family anymore.

Luca briskly walked away. She entered her apartment unit and closed the door.

She turned on the lights and looked at the empty living room. Suddenly, she felt dejected. She should not have been living alone. i

She used to have a happy and blissful family.

Earlier, she had been given the perfect opportunity to tell him the truth. However, she could not help but wonder if Luke would believe her if she told him everything.

Luca closed her eyes. He would not believe it. After all, there was a woman wearing her face in his house.

Abel's plastic surgery skills were impeccable. He had turned a stranger into her while also turning her into a stranger.

If she told Luke about it, he would not have believed it... ’

Tears began to well up in Luca's eyes. If she had told him about it, not only would he not believe her, but she might also put Nyla's life in danger...

She considered herself lucky for not telling him.

Tears began to fall from Luca's face when she arrived at that thought. The term "lucky" was so ironic.

Amur came out of the bedroom when he heard the sounds from outside. He saw Luca crouching in front of the door and sobbing, so he went forward and asked her, "What happened?"

Luca shook her head and said nothing.

Amur frowned and said determinedly, "Something must have happened. You don't have to hide anything from me. Did Sue Carter bully you?"

Luca lifted her head and looked at him with teary eyes." Amur, you used to live in a small village without any worries. Do you miss your past?"

Amur instantly knew that she was thinking about her past.

He could only sigh. When he was about to say some comforting words to Bianca, she stood up, sniffled, and said, "I'm fine, and nothing happened. I was a bit emotional after drinking some wine."

Tm not three years old...' Amur clenched his fists tightly as he looked at her. He wanted to be the one to wipe her tears away.

Luca sniffled and said, "Really, I'm fine. When I saw Sue with her husband and two children, I was reminded of my peaceful past, and I wish I could go back to that time."

Amur's heart wrenched when he heard that. 2

She was correct. Amur and Eler wanted nothing more than to live a peaceful life. On the Island of Despair, that was nothing more than an impossible luxury.

Since it was impossible, it had been a long time since Amur thought about it.

For him, being able to stay by Luca's side and occasionally carry out Abel's orders was considered peaceful.

He dared not wish for anything else.

When Luca returned to her bedroom, she felt the phone in her pocket vibrate. She took it out and saw that someone had sent her a photo.

When she opened the photo, she could not help but shudder.

Luke's car was prominently featured in the photo. The two people in the car could also be clearly seen...

The two people were none other than Luke and her. There was only a handspan between them, and it was so easy to misunderstand what they were doing...

Luca saw that the photo was sent from an unknown number. She gripped her phone tightly.

Half a minute later, she received a call from a string of numbers.

Luca tried to compose herself as she answered the call.

Abel's exaggerated and brazen laughter was heard from the other end of the call. "I didn't expect that you're so capable, Luca. You changed your face, but you managed to seduce Luke once more."

"It's not like what you think. He's suspecting my identity now, " Luca tried to maintain a calm tone. She tried hard not to recall the details of that scene.

She did not expect that one of Abel's minions would capture that scene, but who could it be?

It was almost midnight, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Her attention had been focused on Luke, and she did not notice who was around her that could have taken the photo. 1

"I've already gotten someone to make up a background profile for you. He shouldn't have suspected anything. Don't tell me that you're still trying to protect him, Ivana." Abel did not believe what she said.

He had always thought that his plan was perfect.

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. In any case, Luke didn't fall for me," she said determinedly.

"He didn't? My contact told me that he would have kissed you if you hadn't shoved him away. No, it might be more than just a kiss..." Abel said rakishly.

A hint of savagery appeared in Luca's gaze. She wished that Abel was in front of her now so that she could tear him into pieces.

Abel could hearthat Luca's breathing became heavier. He could tell that she was losing control of her emotions.

"You don't have to explain anything to me, Ivana. I can't tell what will happen next, but if Luke tries to make a move on you again, I order you not to refuse his advances or run away."

"What do you actually intend to achieve?" Luca's voice was hoarse when she said that.

"I want to see what that man, supposedly renowned for his loyalty, would do when faced with temptations. Will he choose you or that Bianca?" Abel grinned. He was not afraid of telling Luca his plans.

After all, Nyla was his trump card.

He considered himself lucky to have abducted Bianca when she was pregnant. Otherwise, he would not have been able to keep her under his control.

"He will not choose me!" Luca said. She clenched her fists tightly.

"We shall see about that. I'll leave the choice to him, but you have no choice to refuse. Do not disappoint me, Ivana," Abel said and hung up.

Luca’s hatred toward Abel grew as she listened to the busy tone on the phone.

She had tried to stay away from Luke and carry out Abel's orders, yet Abel was toying with her feelings.

Tears of agony flowed down Luca's cheeks. What could she do to free herself from this mess?

She knew Luke too well.

Luke was not one who would want to seek a relationship with other people. Even though she had been constantly lying to him, he kept on trying to approach her. It only meant that she was somehow special to him...

Luca threw the phone on the bed and covered her face. She could not stop her tears from falling.

Amur stood outside her room and listened to the sounds from inside. Luca had lost control of her emotions and had spoken a little too loudly, and he had overheard her conversation...

Abel...'

Amur clenched his fists hatefully. He wished that he could claim that man's life.

Meanwhile, after Luke returned to Crawford Manor, he was surprised to see that Bianca was still awake. Usually, she would have already been in bed by now, and even if she had not, she would be in her bedroom instead of the living room.

This was the first time it had happened...

Luke was not touched by Bianca's gesture. After all, he clearly knew that the woman in front of him was only an impostor and not the woman he loved.

Bianca stood up and went eagerly toward Luke when she saw him. "You're back, Luke..."

"Mm." Luke deftly stepped aside when Bianca came close and took off his coat.

Bianca was quite surprised to see Luke step away so nimbly. When she got close to him earlier, she caught a whiff of a different fragrance on him. The strong stench of alcohol overpowered the fragrance, but she could clearly tell that it was there.

She knew that he did not go to a business dinner. Instead, he went to Jason's house for dinner.

"Do I smell women's perfume on you, Luke? Is it Sue's perfume? It smells quite nice,” Bianca asked as she watched Luke place the coat over the couch.

Luke was taken aback by the question. He did not realize that Luca wore perfume.

"I don't know," he said.

Bianca nodded and tried to keep up her enthusiasm despite the fact that Luke was treating her coldly. Her heart began

to beat faster when she saw Luke unbutton the top two buttons of his shirt. "It's been a long time since we talked to each other, Luke. Can you sleep in our room tonight? I hope that you can accompany me."

Luke took his briefcase and went up the stairs. "I have a lot of work tonight. You should go and rest," he said coldly.

Bianca followed behind him. Her eyes were brimming with resentment.

"It's been three years, Luke. Why can't you accept me for who I am? Whatever happened in the past is already the past. If you really can't accept me, then I think we should divorce." Bianca gave her ultimatum, not knowing that Luke already knew who she was.

Luke turned around and looked at her.

Bianca pretended to look aggrieved. "I love you very much, Luke, but I'm only human. You're always so cold to me, and I don't know how to react to that. If you really don't love me, you can let me know. I won't bind you to this marriage if you're not happy with me."

She only said that because she was very sure that Luke would not divorce her.

If he wanted to divorce her, he would have done so a long time ago. He would not have waited until today.

"I'm very busy with work today, but I'll bring you somewhere tomorrow. You should go and rest first," Luke said.

Bianca frowned when she heard that. "Where are we going tomorrow? We're not going to the city courthouse, right?" "It's the weekend tomorrow, and the city courthouse isn't open. You said that I've neglected you, isn't it? I admit that I've been very busy for the past few years, and I've forgotten to take care of you. I'll bring you somewhere fun tomorrow," Luke said. There was no hint of affection in his eyes.

Bianca was happy when she heard that. "Are you telling me that we're going out on a date? Are we bringing the kids along too?"

"No, it'll be just me and you," Luke said. Then, he turned around and went into the study.

Bianca stood frozen on the spot, though she could not help but grin. She returned to the bedroom, locked the door, and took out a bottle of pills from the drawer.

If they were going out on a date tomorrow, she would not want to miss the opportunity...

What a coincidence! Luck was on her side!

Bianca was in a good mood. She performed her nightly facial routine, then went to bed.

Luke sat on the executive chair in the study, reading the message that Gale sent him. Gale and Rain had returned to A City, and they were staying in the residence that Luke had arranged forthem.

He sent his reply: [Tomorrow, wait for my orders.]

Gale soon replied: [Yes, Boss.]

Luke deleted the conversation. Tomorrow will be the day the impostor Bianca would regret deceiving him for the past three years.

She would have to pay the price for what she did!

The next morning, before Luke came downstairs, Bianca was already waiting in the living room. She was dressed to the nines.

Old Master Crawford saw the silly grin on her face. He asked her, "What happened?"

Bianca replied, "Grandpa, I'm going out on a date with Luke."

Tommy was sitting near her. When he heard that, he stood up and said, "Mommy, where are you going with Daddy? I want to go too."

Bianca frowned when she heard that. She could not let Tommy go along with them. She had plans to make out with Luke, so it was inconvenient for a child to go along.

Also, she had made sure that she was in her fertile period.

If she could make out with Luke today, she would be able to bear Luke's child. After that, Luke would be hers!

"Tommy, Daddy and Mommy want to go on a date only by ourselves. You should stay at home, alright?" Bianca tried to convince the child. "We'll buy some snacks for you when we return."

"I don't wanna!" Tommy sulked. He did not want Luke to be

alone with Bianca. "I want to be with Daddy. Why can't you bring me along? I always see other kids go out with their parents. Maybe you'll feel more romantic if I'm there.”

Bianca was taken aback. Tommy used to be cold toward her. Why was he so persistent today?

She turned to look at Old Master Crawford, hoping that he could help her, but the old man did not seem to understand.

"Be a good boy, Tommy," Bianca said. "I'll bring you along next time, okay?"

Tommy shook his head. He looked like he was ready to throw a tantrum.

Old Master Crawford said, "The child isn't a stranger. If he wants to go, you should bring him along. He's a good boy. He won’t disturb the two of you."

When Bianca heard that, she could not help but think that Old Master Crawford did not want her to be alone with Luke. That was whv the old man wanted her to brina Tommv alona.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1347-He Must Have Something Important to Do

Bianca pretended to look awkward. "But Grandpa, it's been a long time since I went out with Luke alone..."

Old Master Crawford glanced at her. Before he could say anything, Lanie, who had been quiet all this while, said,' Tommy, let's not disturb Daddy and Mommy's date. Let's go and play some video games, alright?"

Lanie knew that Luke must have something important to do, and that was why he wanted to bring Bianca and no one else.

The reason most likely had to do with the fact that the woman was an impostor.

Tommy turned to look at Lanie, then at Bianca.

Bianca took the chance to say, "That's right, Tommy. Lanie has a big collection of video games. Don't you want to play with him?"

Tommy hesitated.

Rainie chimed in too. "Tommy, how about we go to Ms.

Luca's house after playing video games?"

She suggested that because she knew that Tommy adored Luca.

As expected, Tommy chose Luca over Bianca. He nodded and said, "Really? Can we really go to Ms. Luca's house?"

"Of course. Daddy and Mommy will be on their date, and they won't have time to accompany us. Why don't we go to Ms. Luca's house? We haven't thanked her for bringing me home the last time," Rainie said while looking at Old Master Crawford.

She knew that Old Master Crawford would not object to her suggestion.

Tommy clapped his hands happily. "Yay! Let's go to Ms. Luca's house!"

‘That Luca again!' Bianca thought unhappily. If it were some other time, she would stop the children from visiting Luca. Today was different because she was about to go on a date with Luke, and she would do anything so that the children did not go along with them.

She said, "Indeed, you'll have to thank her. If not for her, I'd probably still be lost. Right, Rainie, I'll get the caretaker to prepare some gifts for her. Can you bring them along when you go there later?"

"Of course." Rainie nodded.

She was thinking of the same thing as Lanie. Their father would not go out with Bianca unless he had planned to take drastic action. All the children could do was not get in the way of his plans.

Soon, they saw Luke come down the stairs. He saw Old Master Crawford and the children sitting on the couch, so he said, "Grandpa, I'm bringing Bea out today. We won't be coming back for lunch."

Old Master Crawford nodded and said, "You two will be on a date, the children will be away, and even Louis and his family won't be in. Looks like I should take the opportunity to catch up with my friends."

Luke turned to look at the three children. "Where are you going?"

"We're going to Ms. Luca's house!" Tommy said excitedly.

Rainie added, "Ms. Luca brought us home when we got lost. I'd like to visit her to thank her personally ."

Even though Luca hid many secrets from Luke, he could tell that she was genuinely kind to the children and would not harm them. He nodded and said, "You'd better behave when you're in her house. Don't give her unnecessary trouble."

"We know, Daddy," Tommy said and stuck out his tongue.

Bianca stood up and carefully brought a stray curly strand of hair behind her ear. "Shall we go now?"

"There's no rush. Let me have my breakfast first." Luke could see that she was very anxious. He turned around and went to the dining hall.

For the past three years, Bianca had hinted to Luke that she wanted to make out with him, but he had never agreed to it.

Somehow, a mental obstacle had always stood in his way. He even wondered if he had become physically deficient, or if his orientation had changed.

It was only until he dreamed of Luca that he realized that

nothing had changed. However, he still could not explain why he had no interest in Bianca. He wondered if it was because he could not forgive Bianca for what happened to her, even though he said that he did not mind it.

Now, he finally found his answer. He had no interest in that woman because she was not the real Bianca.

Bianca watched obsessively as Luke went away into the dining hall. He was dressed in casual clothes today. He did not look as stern as forbidding as when he was in a suit, but he was nevertheless

charming and handsome.

She had always thought that she was unlucky to be a part of the Island of Despair. Then, Luke appeared in her life, and she did not feel that way anymore. She had to grab every opportunity to win his heart!

She would do whatever it takes!

After Luke ate his breakfast, he and Bianca left the house.

After the three children had their breakfast, the driver brought them to Luca's apartment.

Bianca sat in the side passenger seat and gazed obsessively at Luke. "Where are we going today, Luke?"

Luke did not say anything. Instead, he rolled down the window to let in some fresh air.

Bianca's perfume was too pungent. He felt that he could not breathe.

"Luke?" Bianca winked at him. Her perfectly lined eyes were sending him a special signal.

"You'll know when we get there." Luke gave her an indirect answer.

Bianca was overjoyed that the man had prepared a surprise for her. She subconsciously clutched her handbag more tightly. Perhaps she might not even need the drugs...

Luke drove to the outskirts of A City and stopped in front of a mansion.

Bianca looked at the building in front of her and asked," Where are we, Luke? Is this your friend's house?"

"No. I bought this mansion some time ago as a vacation home. The scenery here is beautiful, and the air is fresh," Luke explained. He fished out the keys and pressed a button, and the front gate opened.

Bianca could not hide the grin on her face as she watched the doors open slowly.

They would be alone in the mansion. Luke's intention was obvious...

She would not have to use the drugs in her handbag. She believed that she would be able to win Luke's heart with her body alone!

After the gate opened completely, Luke drove the car inside. After the car went inside, he pressed a button to close the gate.

"Will we be here the whole day, Luke?" Bianca asked softly. She would have leaned over and hugged Luke if she was not restrained to her seat by the seatbelt.

"Mm," Luke said. He parked the car in the garage.

'It's not just the whole day, you impostor. You'll be here for a very longtime.'

"But I don't know how to cook..." Bianca said. It would be great to spend some time together with Luke, but if there were no caretakers, what should they do if they were hungry?

"Don't worry. I won't let you starve," Luke said as he unfastened his seatbelt.

Bianca felt a tingling sensation as she watched Luke unfasten his seatbelt. She reached out, grabbed Luke's shirt sleeve, and said, "Help me unfasten my seatbelt, Luke."

Luke tried to suppress his disgust toward her. He reached over and unfastened her seatbelt.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1348-Who Is Behind You?

After they got out of the car, Bianca took the initiative to hold Luke’s hand as they walked into the villa. She displayed her full affection and wanted nothing more but to be as close to Luke as possible.

She was too engrossed that she did not notice the gloomy look on Luke's face.

Bianca turned her head to look at his handsome face. Her heartbeat sped up inexplicably when she thought about how there were only two of them in the villa. She had to make the best out of this opportunity.

Luke keyed in the code on the digital lock.

With a click, the door opened.

Luke stood aside and looked at Bianca, who had no doubts. He said, "Go in."

Bianca thought of what was going to happen in a while and her face turned red. She nodded shyly and walked into the villa.

The lamps lit up the place in an instant. When she saw a man and woman inside, she turned around and looked at Luke, confused.

At that moment, he walked in and the door behind him was closed.

"Luke, this is..." Bianca looked at the two people in front of her. They looked somewhat familiar but she had not seen much of them, so she did not have a deep impression of them.

'They are... Luke's subordinates, right?'

However, they did not act like his subordinates. There was no look of respect on their faces and there was even some wariness in their eyes as they looked at her.

Bianca held onto her bag tightly and stood there, trying her best not to back away due to fear.

Although she was trained on the Island of Despair, she had not had proper training for three years so she was not as agile as she used to be.

"They're Gale and Rain." Luke stepped forward, forming a triangle with the two of them and enclosing Bianca in the middle. novelbin

"Are they your subordinates? Why do they look so familiar? Why are they here?" Bianca tucked her hair back.

"They're here to take care of you." Luke gave Gale and Rain a look.

The two slowly moved closer to Bianca.

Bianca was not stupid. She knew there was more to the situation. 'Since when did caretakers look so threatening?' She was vigilant when the two of them approached her and could not stop herself from retreating.

As soon as she turned around, she fell into Luke's arms and felt a sharp pain in her forehead.

"Luke..." Bianca felt dizzy and immediately covered the part of her forehead that ached.

In an instant, Rain and Gale grabbed her left and right arms respectively and pressed them down to the floor fiercely.

Bianca was in pain and turned her head to look at them." What are you doing? I'm Luke's wife!"

"Are you really my wife?" Luke took a step back and kept a distance from her while watching her suffer indifferently.

Even though the person in front of him looked exactly the same as the woman he loved most, she was not Bianca. No matter how miserable she was or how hard she cried, she was not able to evoke any sympathy from him.

He loved Bianca's heart and soul, not just her looks.

When Bianca heard his reply, she was in shock and turned her head to look at Luke. Gale and Rain held her arms so tightly that she could not get out of their hold even though she had undergone some training.

They were not ordinary thugs. She was well aware of the danger that she was in.

"Luke, what are you talking about? Of course, I'm your wife. Isn't that what you said?" Bianca blinked. She could not hold back her tears because of the pain.

Luke took out a report from the inside pocket of his suit and placed it in front of her. "Our kids should have your blood type, so how do you explain this?"

Bianca looked at the report and her head went blank for a moment. Previously, she was so resistant to the blood test because of her blood type. She breathed a sigh of relief when they did not find anything after the blood test.

However, she did not expect that Luke was already suspicious and was just putting his plans on pause. She immediately explained, "This must be a mistake. How could it be..."

Luke's gaze turned gloomy as he said to Gale, "Tie her up."

"Yes," Gale and Rain put her on a chair and took the rope they had prepared to tie her up firmly.

Bianca wiggled and found that there was no way she could break free. Her only hope was Luke. She explained, "There must be some misunderstanding. Luke, believe me, I'm Bianca-"

"The kids went behind your back and did a test. The result is the same as this report. You're not related to them," Luke interrupted her impatiently.

Bianca was startled. All she could think about was how to escape from here.

If she was the real Bianca, Luke would show her the utmost care.

However, she was not. If she admitted that she had been lying to him for so many years, her life would be worse than death.

Bianca bit her lower lip and insisted on not admitting to anything. "I don’t know what's going on. You told me that I'm Bianca and I'm your wife. I believed you for so many years and didn't think about leaving but now you're saying that I'm not Bianca? Even so, you don’t have to go so far as to have me tied up. I don’t know anything, I'm suffering from amnesia!"

Her explanation was perfect, but for Luke, there was a major flaw.

'If she doesn't know anything and I misunderstood the situation, then why did the results match during the first test?'

"Who's behind you?" Luke was not easily fooled by her.

"I don't know what you're talking about! All I know is that after I got amnesia, I've been by your side. If I'm not your wife, you can’t blame me because I never said I'm your wife! " Bianca planned to never admit to anything.

"If you insist on not telling the truth, they have a million ways to get you talking. Are you from the Island of Despair? They used to be too. Although they’ve been away from that place for a long time, they’re familiar with the torture techniques. If you refuse to talk, have fun with them." Luke turned to leave as soon as he finished speaking.

When Gale and Rain came back, he told them what needed to be done. They would be able to carry out their tasks smoothly even if he was not here.

"Luke, you can't give me to them. Even if I'm not your wife, I have stayed with you for so long and helped you take care of our family. How could you be so merciless toward me?" Bianca shouted immediately when she saw that he was about to leave.

She was scared of the torture techniques from the Island of Despair.

When Luke said their names, she knew who the two were.

Even though Abel had rebuilt the Island of Despair and almost all the people who were there before were gone, these two were still well known.

She had heard that their methods were extremely cruel...

Luke listened to her bleak and frightened voice but showed no sympathy. The love of his life was missing and she had something to do with it.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1349-Came To Visit

Luke left without looking back, leaving Bianca completely hopeless.

Bianca was in tears. Rain looked at her pitiful and seemingly innocent face. It reminded her of the evil people from the Island of Despair. When she thought of them, all her pity for Bianca was no longer there.

If the real Bianca were still alive, it was highly likely that she was forced to go through a lot of suffering.

Gale looked at the fake Bianca cry and felt no pity for her. Instead, he said to Rain, "I'll carry her into the room."

"Go ahead." Rain nodded. She felt nothing but annoyed listening to Bianca's wails.

Luke told her that he wanted the truth no matter what methods they used. He had a reason for keeping her in this villa. This was a private property of his located in the outskirts. The nearby villas belonged to the local tycoons of A City. They bought the villas for vacation, so there were not many people around on a normal day.

No one would notice no matter how loud Bianca yelled.

Gale carried her into the basement. The basement had only one vent and one door, everything else was tightly sealed off.

"Do you see this row of items?" He turned on the light and showed Bianca what was on the shelf.

Bianca squinted, looked at the yellow lamp above her head, and shuddered.

Her gaze fell on the shelf Gale was referring to. There was a range of torture tools on it. 'Is Luke planning to torture me to death?'

"That's enough fooling around." Bianca was trembling with fear. These tools were a hundred times more terrifying than the whipping she received previously.

"Rain has been improving her medicine skills in the past few years and now has a clear grasp of human anatomy. She knows which position to hit that's the most painful but not fatal. If you want to suffer less, tell us everything," Gale said.

Bianca looked at the tools on the shelf, bit her lower lip, and insisted. "I have amnesia, I don't know anything."

She was not sure how long she could last but she knew better than to reveal anything at that moment. If Abel knew that she was going to betray the Island of Despair, she would be eternally doomed.

The people in front of her would force a confession out of her but would not go as far as to kill her.

She believed that Abel would do his best to save her when he found out that she had been caught.

That was because he did not want to let Luke know about the secrets of the Island of Despair.

He would save her to protect the Island of Despair.

Rain came in with a medical kit and said, "These medications have been prepared for you. Don't worry, I won't take your life for the time being. However, our boss, Luke, has a bad temper and not much patience. I can't guarantee when he'll kill you."

"This is A City. Do you think that you can kill as you please?" Bianca trembled uncontrollably when she heard that this might be the end for her.

"Why can't we? I'll kill you and plant evidence to make it seem like you were robbed. I can even throw your body into the sea and then report you as missing. It's easy to make you vanish." Rain opened the medical box and took out the things inside one by one.

Bianca's body was shaking more severely.

Rain took a small knife and said, "Are you ready to talk?"

"I have amnesia and don't know anything." Bianca trembled as she looked at the sharp and glinting knife.

Rain exchanged glances with Gale, and the two put on gloves at the same time.

After Luke left the villa, he drove to Crawford Manor, but on his way there, he thought of something and made a U-turn at the intersection in front of him. novelbin

Half an hour later, his car stopped in front of Luca's apartment.

He sat in the car for half an hour and eventually got out.

The security of the apartment where Luca stayed was not strict. Strangers like him could just walk in without being questioned. He looked at the security guard who did not bother to stop him and walked inside.

A few minutes later, he was standing in front of Luca's house.

Luke heard some movements inside through the door. Based on the time, the kids should already be in her house.

The movements inside should be from his three children.

Luke rang the doorbell.

Luca was kneading the dough. When she heard the doorbell, she wiped her hands on the apron and told the kids, "I'll go open the door. Don't spill any flour on the floor."

"We know, Ms. Luca. We promise we won't make a mess," Tommy said with a grin as he tried to follow the steps to knead the dough.

Lanie and Rainie were also kneading dough. There was a difference in the size of their dough. Luca’s was the largest and Tommy's one was the smallest.

Earlier when she saw the kids standing at her door, she was stunned but did not turn Zander away. She let the kids in.

Then, there was this scene in front of her. She planned to make some croissants forthem and the kids clamored to participate when they saw that she had her hands full.

Since they were willing to do it, Luca was more than happy to let them participate. After all, she also liked for the children to be more hands-on.

Luca walked to the door, glanced through the peephole, and saw that the person standing at the door was Luke.

She was stunned. When Tommy came in, he told her that Luke had gone on a date with Bianca and abandoned the three of them, so they came to her place to seek comfort.

Luca was upset to hear that their relationship seemed to be getting better.

However, Luke was at her place alone. What could have happened?

When she was hesitant on whether to open the door for him, Luke rang the doorbell again. He seemed to be a little impatient from waiting.

With no other choice, Luca opened the door and looked at the man outside. She asked, "Mr. Crawford, why are you here?"

"Lanie and the others are with you, aren't they?" Luke asked. He heard Tommy's laughter almost instantly.

"Yes, are you here to take them home?" Luca asked as she looked at the kids.

'If Luke insists on bringing them home now, I'm sure that Tommy will make a fuss...'

Luke glanced inside. He was not able to see where the children were since Luca only opened a small gap. "What are they doing?"

"Making croissants." Luca made space for Luke.

Luke walked in, saw the kids kneading dough around the table, and raised his eyebrows.

Tommy turned around, looked at Luke, then smiled and asked, 'Dad, why are you here?"

"I came to visit." Luke walked over and saw that Tommy's nose was smeared with some flour. He reached out his hands and wiped his nose for him.

Luca heard him say that he came to visit, not to take them home.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1350-Not Even Qualified To Say It Out Loud

Tommy smiled, raised the almost ready dough in his hands, and said, "Look, Daddy. Ms. Luca is teaching us how to make croissants."

There was flour everywhere on the table. The kids must have caused this mess.

The kids never had to do any housework in Crawford Manor. Although the house was in a mess, Luke felt a strange feeling when he saw how the kids were helping Luca.

'This is how a home should feel like.'

He saw the children's joyous appearance and felt like he was missing out on it. Luke touched Tommy's head and asked, "Why aren’t you using a bread machine to knead the dough?"

Luca stood there and looked at him for a while. She then walked to the table, continued to knead the dough, and said, "Manual kneading makes better bread compared to using a bread machine."

Rainie listened and had a sudden realization. "No wonder the croissant made by the chef at home is not as delicious as Mommy's."

Luca paused. 'She said 'Mommy'... Is she referring to me or the fake Bianca?'

She unconsciously glanced at Luke. The kids mentioned

that he was on a date with Bianca but he showed up at her place, so she wondered what happened to Bianca...

As soon as Rainie's voice fell, Lanie said, "Yeah, I remember that Mommy used to knead the dough with her hands whenever she made us croissants."

They remembered certain memories of the past but Tommy did not. He pursed his lips and said, "Why do you remember all of these? I don't remember anything."

Rainie explained with a smile on her face, "You were still young. Mommy loved you the most."

Rainie's words blasted Luca into the past.

She had taken special care of Tommy because of what had happened to Luke. Even after he came back, she had always paid extra attention to Tommy, wanting to make up for the regret of missing out on the five years of Lanie and Rainie's childhood with Tommy.

Tommy kneaded the dough, nodded, and then said, "I know Mommy loves me the most, but that's in the past. Now she's changed. She's not like our mommy anymore."

His words silenced all of them.

In the room, everyone except Tommy knew that Bianca was not the real Bianca.

When Tommy saw that everyone had fallen silent, he thought that they were deep in thought. He then looked at Luke and asked, "Daddy, why isn't Mommy here? Weren't you going on a date with her today?"

Luke's expression remained the same as he replied, "She went on a holiday."

Lanie exchanged glances with Rainie and then put the kneaded dough in front of Luca. "Ms. Luca, do you think the dough is good to go?"

Luca kneaded the dough and thought that it was close. She nodded and said, "You did it, Lanie. You did a wonderful job."

Lanie's face flushed after hearing her praise.

Rainie and Tommy passed their dough to her as well.

Luca put all the dough in the oven to proof and then she prepared some fruits for the children.

She did not know they would come so she did not prepare any snacks. All she had were fruits.

Luke saw how busy she was. It was as if she was their mother.

The kids sat in a row on the sofa. They behaved well and ate the fruits she prepared. Luca felt happy looking at them.

When she looked up, she found that Luke was looking at her.

She felt awkward, rubbed her hands, and asked, "Mr. Crawford, do you want some fruits?"

"No." Luke shook his head and asked, "Where’s your brother? n

"He’s busy," Luca replied. In the last two days, Amur would leave early in the morning to execute the task assigned by Abel but she was not aware of any details.

However, he came back fairly early every day with no trace of injury or struggle.

As such, Luca was not too worried.

Luke nodded.

Luca turned on the TV and put the remote control in Rainie's hands. "Rainie, watch some cartoons while I prepare the croissant stuffing." novelbin

Luke had not mentioned anything about making a move. She knew that he did not plan to take the kids home so soon and was likely staying for lunch. She continued to prepare for lunch.

"Okay, Ms. Luca. Do you need help?" Rainie asked in a sweet tone.

"No." Luca shook her head.

"Daddy can help if you need a hand," Rainie continued talking while taking a look at Luke, who was sitting on the single-seater sofa.

Luca also glanced at him. His tall figure occupied most of the sofa. She thought of when they used to cook together and felt sad about it.

Luke's cooking skills were okay but they were not the best. However, he felt bad that Bianca had to cook as soon as she got home from work, so he would always help in the kitchen whenever time allowed.

When she thought about all of that, along with the various practical reasons and their current gap in status, Luca felt sad.

She loved Luke but that did not matter because she was not allowed to express it. She was not even qualified to say it out loud.

"Don’t worry about it, my kitchen is small. I can do it on my own." After she said that, Luca turned back and walked into the kitchen.

She was familiar with the kids' likes and dislikes. After making some almond filing, she also did some chocolate filling as well as fresh fruit and cream filling. These were all their favorites.

It took a lot of time to make one filling. Making three different fillings meant it took three times longer. However, Luca did not feel tired when she thought about the joy on Luke and the kids’ faces.

In the living room.

Lanie stood up and said to Luke, "Daddy, I have something to tell you."

He could not wait to find out more about the situation with the woman who was pretending to be their mommy.

Luke nodded, stood up, and walked to the balcony. He said," The sound of the TV in the living room is loud. Let's go to the balcony."

The father and son walked to the balcony one after the other.

Luke stood there with one hand resting on the railing of the balcony. His eyes were on the sandbags and gloves hanging on the side.

It seemed that Luca practiced her boxing skills on the balcony.

"Daddy, any updates on the matter? Do you know where Mommy is?" Lanie asked.

Luke calmed his restless mind and said, "Gale and Rain are interrogating her. They'll soon figure out the whole situation and find out where your Mommy is."

Lanie nodded when he heard Luke's reply. "Uncle Gale and Aunt Rain can definitely find out more after interrogating her. However, Great-grandpa might have doubts if she suddenly goes missing..."

"I'll tell others that she went on a trip. No one will doubt my words," Luke said. It was helpful to their situation that the fake Bianca had severed all relationships except those with the Crawford family. It could help them avoid suspicion.
