Ch. 1461..1470
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1461-Nina was becoming irritated when Percy insisted on not coming back to the mansion. Is he staying away from her because he had found another woman?
“I’ll wait for you. Just come back when you’re done with your business.” After that, she ended the call.
Percy was a little confused. He knew that everyone had their limits, though Nina had never spoken to him so aggressively before. It made him wonder if that was Nina’s true personality.
It was the first time that she was impatient toward him.
Percy put his phone away. Who could have told her that he was still in the country?
He had deceived Nina for the past few days because he was busy dealing with his business, not to mention that Ms. Johnston, the young woman that his mother was trying to match him with, was pestering him twenty-four seven.
He had to keep himself away from the mansion so that Nina would not be caught in the crossfire, and he only planned to go back after he dealt with the matters at hand.
He was about to succeed in his plan when Nina called him.
Now that she had already found out, he could not keep himself away from her any longer.
The internal telephone began to ring. Percy picked up the receiver and asked, “What is it?”
His assistant was taken aback. Percy sounded as though he was not in a good mood. “Mr. Mallory, Ms. Johnston is in the lobby now. She said that she wants to meet you.”
“Tell her that I’m not in,” Percy said. He was not going to let that woman pester him anymore. If she knew that he was in the company, she would cling to him and not let go.
He would have thrown her into the Pacific Ocean and let her sleep with the fishes, if not that the Johnstons were quite influential.
“But…” His assistant wanted to remind him that Ms. Johnston was his fiancee.
If the Mallory and Johnston families were joined by marriage, the resulting conglomeration might be the biggest in A City or even the country.
Even though Percy and Luke were good friends, they were nevertheless business competitors. That was why Percy’s mother had arranged the marriage.
“Have I not made myself clear?” Percy said. On other days, he might entertain Ms. Johnston for a while, but today, he had to finish his work so that he could go back to talk to Nina.
“Understood. I’ll send someone downstairs to stop her from coming up,” the assistant said.
Percy continued to work busily.
He finished his work by half-past eleven. He left the company and drove back to the mansion.
Nina said that she would wait for him. The lights in the mansion were on by the time Percy stepped out of the car.
Percy thought she would want to discuss her mother’s hospitalization with him. From the look of things, he had a feeling that she wanted to talk to him about something else.
If Nina knew that he was still in the country, she might have also found out about Ms. Johnston.
Percy could not help but smile when he thought of that possibility.
If Nina was angry because of Ms. Johnston, it meant that she was jealous and she cared for him.
That was why Percy was happy.
He went through the door and into the living room. Nina was sitting on the couch.
The television was on and filled the cavernous living room with noise. The place did not feel as desolate as it used to. novelbin
“I’m home,” Percy said.
Nina was lost in thought, and she did not hear the door open over the noise from the television. That was why she did not notice Percy coming into the mansion.
She came to her senses. She glanced at the man, then at the clock hanging on the wall.
It was already midnight.
She guessed that Percy must have settled that woman in bed before coming home. After all, that was what he did to him at the start of their relationship.
After making out in bed, he would leave the mansion around midnight.
Nina did not know if she should feel happy. Her insistence had made him leave that woman and return to the mansion.
She thought that it was quite ridiculous for her to behave that way. She was supposed to be the illicit mistress, but she was behaving as though she was his legally married wife. The truth, however, was that Percy was going to marry someone else.
It was not going to be her.
“The maid made some pudding earlier. I thought you might like it,” Nina said.
Percy raised his eyebrows, quite surprised that Nina did not get to the topic. He was not in a hurry anyway, so he nodded and went into the kitchen.
Soon, he came out with a portion of the pudding.
Nina knew that Percy liked sweets, so she had asked the maid to make some pudding for him. That was all that she could do for him.
Percy sat down on the couch next to her.
Nina took a deep breath. She did not smell the perfume of another woman.
Over the years, she had gotten familiar with Percy’s unique masculine scent.
Nina wondered if Percy had taken a shower before leaving that woman so that she would not suspect anything.
She was not in a rush to talk. After Percy finished the pudding, she took out a debit card from her pocket and handed it to Percy.
Percy frowned. “What’s this?”
“There’s some money inside. It’s not enough to pay back the money you spent on me over the years, but it’s quite a bit. If you don’t think that it’s enough, give me some time and I’ll pay you back in full,” Nina said. The hand that was holding the debit card was shaking slightly.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Even though Nina did not say it, Percy could tell that she was trying to cut all ties with him.
Was it because of that Johnston woman?
Percy did not know, so he tried to ask for more information.
“I know that your mother has arranged a marriage for you. Now that you have a proper fiancee, it’s time for this illicit lover of yours to leave. I believe that the time spent with you over all these years should be enough to repay my debt of gratitude to you, so let’s just call it even. Treat your future wife well, and let me start a new life,” Nina said. She did not expect that she would feel horrible when saying those words.
In any case, she had already said what she wanted to say.
She did not feel any better. Instead, her heart wrenched.
It seemed as though she was reluctant to leave him after all.
‘How low have I gotten?’ she thought. ‘Why would I still want to be someone’s illicit lover?’
With a wave of his hand, Percy smacked the debit card away, and it fell on the floor. “Do you think you can get rid of me so easily, Nina Langdon? Don’t even think about it.”
“I’m not as good as you think, Percy. Why would you want to do this? Moreover, you can’t be so selfish. Please let me have my dignity!” Percy’s refusal made Nina sink into despair.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1462-In the face of Nina’s desperate cries, Percy’s expression remained cold.
Nina’s insistence on leaving stoked the fires of anger in Percy’s heart.
“I’ve already told you from the start that only I get to end this relationship. Don’t even think that you can get rid of me that easily!” Percy said while gripping Nina’s lower jaw. He did not offer to explain what he had been doing.
Nina pushed his hand away and stood up. “You still don’t know how to respect me, Percy Mallory. I’m not your slave, and we’ve never signed any contract. If I want to end this relationship, you have no reason to refuse!”
She had not consented to start the relationship. Now that she wanted to end it, he did not allow it either.
What was she to him? Did he want to keep her by his side until she was old and useless?
Nina did not understand. She did nothing wrong, yet Percy wanted to treat her that way.
“I don’t agree with it. If you insist on leaving, you’ll eventually return to me crawling on your knees.” Percy’s gaze had been warm when he first returned to the mansion, but now, it was ice-cold.
From Percy’s harsh words, Nina could guess that he must have known what happened to her family.
Jean and Anna had gotten into a lot of trouble over the years. Percy had been the one to bail them out when she had no solution to their problems.
“I won’t. Tonight will be the last time you’ll see me. You might not want me to leave, but you can’t hold me back either. Please, Percy, just let me go. It’ll be easier for the both of us if you just let go.” Nina closed her eyes, feeling exhausted by the conversation.
Percy became angrier when he heard again that Nina wanted to leave. He abruptly stood up.
He was a head taller than Nina. Nina took a step back.
There was no expression on Percy’s face, not even anger. That made it even more unnerving.
“What do you want?” Nina asked, a little afraid. She knew that Percy had a lot of blood on his hands. Was he going to kill her?
She knew that if Percy could not obtain something, he would rather destroy it.
Thinking that her life was about to end, Nina did not feel sad. Perhaps death would be a better option than to be his plaything for the rest of her life.
Percy frowned when he saw the calm smile on Nina’s face. What was she thinking?
The next moment, Percy picked Nina off her feet.
“What do you want?” Nina was slung over Percy’s shoulder, and her vision was upside down. She could not see Percy’s face.
“Don’t you want to leave me? I’ll make sure that you can never leave,” Percy said coldly as he carried Nina up the stairs.
Blood was rushing into Nina’s head. Before she could process what Percy meant, she was thrown on the bed.
“Ugh…” Nina groaned in agony.
Before she could catch her breath, Percy was already onto her. Nina closed her eyes in despair. She finally understood what the man meant…
“This is the last time, Percy Mallory.” She did not struggle. Her eyes remained closed no matter what the man did.
Percy grunted when he saw that Nina did not resist or cooperate. “Don’t even think about it, Nina Langdon. You belong to me, and you won’t ever get to escape!”
Nina closed her eyes in despair. There was only a singular thought in her mind: No matter what he did to her, she was going to leave!
Moreover, she would never return, no matter what might happen to her!
An hour later, Percy put on his clothes and coldly glanced at Nina lying on the bed. “I’ll earlier. If you mention that to me again, I’ll make sure that you regret it.”
Nina stared at the ceiling with a hollow gaze.
Percy was not gentle at all. He thought that Nina would not leave if he exhausted her.
However, she would leave the mansion if it meant that she had to crawl.
Percy did not hear her reply, and he thought that she was in one of her moods. When he leaned closed to check on her, he noticed that her face was stained with tears.
He did not expect to be so violent earlier.
Indeed, he let his anger get the better of him, and he might have injured her. He felt a little sorry for Nina, so he said, “Just stay here. I’ll deal with the Johnstons.”
Nina did not say anything. She did not say a word even until he left the mansion.
‘The Johnstons?
‘The Johnston family in A City?’
She did not expect that Percy’s fiancee was from such an influential family. If Percy married the Johnston daughter, the Mallory family would be pushed to greater heights.
That would be nice… novelbin
It was nice that Percy got to marry the Johnston daughter, and it was nice for her to choose to leave.
Nina pushed herself up. Even though she was sapped of her strength, she could still move. She cleaned herself up in the bathroom, then opened the closet and took out a suitcase.
If Percy had opened the closet, he would have found out that Nina had already packed her suitcase.
She did not take any of the branded clothing that Percy gave her. The clothes in her suitcase were those that she bought with her own money.
Those were the clothes that suited her status.
Too bad for Percy, he left in a hurry and did not open the closet.
Nina smiled and left with the suitcase in tow.
It was already past midnight. She did not drive Percy’s car. Instead, she left the mansion in the Volkswagen she bought herself.
Fortunately, she had a budget car. That saved her from leaving the mansion on her two feet.
She did not have the strength to walk anymore.
Nina drove the car with no destination in mind. She had always thought of leaving, but Percy had pampered her, and she never put the idea into practice.
After all, it was not so easy to leave. She would not have left if Luke had not reminded her.
That was why she had no place to go.
Nina drove to a hotel near Brilliant Architecture and checked in there.
After entering the room, she fell on the bed and did not want to move a muscle.
She should be sleeping, but she could not fall asleep. She could only stare at the ceiling.
She wanted to talk to someone.
She thought for a while, picked up her phone, and sent a message to Luca.
[Are you asleep?] Nina tapped the Send button. She dared not call her in case Luca was already asleep.
She hoped that Luca had set her phone to silent mode. If Luca had fallen asleep, the message would not wake her up.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1463-chapter will update soon..
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1464-Tears welled up in Nina’s eyes when she saw that Luca came prepared.
She thought that Luca was worried about her, and that was why Luca wanted to stay over for a few days…
Luca thought that Nina was reluctant to let her stay there. She said, “If it’s not convenient for you, I can book the room next door. I don’t have my ID with me now, so I might have to borrow your ID to book a room.”
Her concern for Nina was genuine, but she was also using Nina for her convenience.
She would have to go and take the antidote in two days. It would not be very convenient if Luke’s subordinates tailed her.
Nina said, “I’m happy that you’re willing to accompany me. Thank you so much, Luca.”
She was genuinely touched by Luca’s gesture, and she called her “Luca” instead of “Dr. Craw.”
Luca smiled and put her backpack away. “What would it be? Can you still sleep?”
Nina shook her head. “I don’t think I can sleep.”
Luca could see the sorrow in her eyes. Even though she had missed out on what happened between Nina and Percy for the last three years, she could guess that Nina was not used to the sudden breakup.
“I have an idea. How about we drink some wine?” Luca suggested with a smile. It was easier to release one’s feelings after taking a glass or two, and it would be easier to fall asleep as well.
However, alcohol was bad for health. If it were not the case, Luca would rather drink wine to help her sleep rather than take sleeping pills.
Nina nodded in agreement, though she glanced at Luca’s forehead and shook her head. “You still have a wound on your forehead. You shouldn’t drink wine.”
“Don’t you want to drink?” Luca asked.
“I want to, but the wine isn’t going to be good for your wound,” Nina said. She wondered if Luke would blame her if something happened to Luca.
She immediately stopped herself after arriving at that thought. ‘Why would Luke and Luca…
‘That’s impossible…’ Nina quickly discarded that thought. Even if Luke was a scumbag, Luca was not that kind of woman.
“You can drink wine. I’ll just drink grape juice,” Luca suggested. Grape juice looked similar to red wine, and it did not have alcohol. That would not ruin the mood.
Nina agreed. She could not seem to clear her thoughts, so it might be a good thing to numb herself using alcohol.
Seeing that Nina agreed to it, Luca called for room service.
The hotel they were staying in was quite high-class, so room service was available around the clock.
Ten minutes later, an attendant brought the drinks to their room. Luca decanted the red wine and let it stand for ten minutes, then handed a glass to Nina. “Here, this is for you. You don’t have to worry about getting drunk. I can take care of you.”
Nina took the bottle and glass, poured herself a glassful of wine, and clinked glasses with Luca. “A toast to you, Luca. This is to celebrate us becoming friends!”
“Cheers!” Luca smiled and clinked her glass of grape juice with Nina’s glass.
She remembered the times back in school when she had just become friends with Nina. During their lunch break, they would go to the cafeteria, get themselves a cup of fruit slushy each, then chat about teen girl problems.
So many years had passed in the blink of an eye. They led different lives which carried a different set of problems.
Nina downed the wine glass after glass. She only wanted to intoxicate herself.
Her alcohol tolerance had improved ever since she became Percy’s lover. It took her two bottles before she felt slightly dizzy.
“Luca… I think… my head is spinning,” Nina said as she put the glass away. Her gaze was unfocused, and her face was bright red.
“You’re drunk, Nina,” Luca said.
“Drunk? Am I?” Her hand was unsteady as she placed the glass on the table. She looked hazily at Luca and said, “I think I’m ready to go to sleep.”
“Let me help you to the bed,” Luca said as she propped her up.
There were two single beds in Nina’s room. Luca helped her sit down on one of the beds, and before she could do anything else, Nina’s head had already found the pillow, and she was fast asleep.
Luca shook her head helplessly. Fortunately, Nina did not throw tantrums after drinking. She only wanted to sleep.
After tucking Nina in, she said, “Alright, sleep tight.”
Nina mumbled something as though replying to her. She flipped over and stopped making any noise.
Luca went to the other bed, lay down, and turned off the lights.
The rest of the night passed without any incident.
The next day, it was already eleven o’clock when they woke up. After all, they slept very late.
Luca was surprised when she looked at the time.
Usually, she would be able to wake up at around seven o’clock no matter how late she slept. However, she slept soundly, as though she was also under the influence of alcohol.
Luca sat up and prepared to get out of bed. She heard Nina groan, “Uggh.”
She turned her head to look at Nina. Nina happened to open her eyes and look at her.
“Good morning, Luca,” Nina said. Even though she was drunk, she still remembered what happened the night before.
“Good morning,” Luca replied to the greeting with a smile. She felt as though they were friends on a trip.
Nina’s body ached all over because of what happened the night before. The alcohol only made it worse. She felt horrible as she tried to sit up.
“What time is it?” She had drawn the curtains after checking in. From the rays of sunlight that shone through, she knew that it was already daytime.
“It’s almost eleven o’clock,” Luca said. She got out of the bed and went to her backpack to unpack her toiletries.
“It’s already so late! I still need to go to work!” Nina’s eyes widened when she heard that. She barely stood up when she fell sitting on the bed again. “Argh, my head hurts.”
“You must be suffering from a hangover. You shouldn’t go to work today. Sitting in the office will only make it worse,” Luca put the toiletries away and went to the phone. “I’ll get lunch for the both of us. What do you want to eat?”
“Beef stroganoff, I guess.” Nina knocked her head with her knuckles, trying to make herself feel better.
“Alright.” Luca dialed for room service and ordered two bowls of beef stroganoff and a glass of honey water.
After she hung up, she said, “Just sit down and relax. Don’t rush yourself. I’ll go and brush my teeth. After that, I’ll give you a massage.”
“Alright.” Nina nodded.
After Luca brushed her teeth and washed her face, she came over and massaged Nina’s head.
Her slender fingers seemed to be magical. Nina felt a lot better after a quick massage.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1465-Nina moaned comfortably. “Where did you learn this technique, Luca?”
“I devised it myself. How does it feel?” Luca looked at Nina’s face and planned how she could make her life more comfortable. If what Nina said were true, Percy would not let her go that easily, and he might be able to find her by today.
“This is great. You’re so amazing, Luca. You’re well-educated, gentle, and caring, not to mention you’re a great cook. You even know how to give great massages too! Any man would be very lucky to marry you,” Nina praised. At the same time, she thought of Bianca.
Luca’s personality reminded her of Bianca before she lost her memories.
It was understandable that Luke was interested in Luca. Women like her deserved to be loved and pampered. Any man would want their wife to be like that.
Luca smiled but said nothing. She continued pressing certain spots on Nina’s temples to make her feel better.
She was not as amazing as Nina said. She imagined that Nina would hate her if Nina knew that her hands were stained in the blood of the innocent.
The Bianca from before could withstand all external pressure and remain by Luke’s side. That was because she believed that one day, she would be as outstanding as Luke.
The Bianca now could only use those external qualities to cover the darkness inside. That alone took almost all her strength. How was she going to be more outstanding?
Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Luca stood up and said, “That should be the room service. You should go and wash up.”
“Alright.” Nina stood up lazily. The massage had improved her headache. Her muscles were still slightly sore, but that was the extent of her discomfort.
She went into the bathroom and closed the door.
Luca went to answer the door, thinking that it was the room service. She opened the door without looking through the peephole, and she was surprised when she saw the person standing outside.
The person standing outside the door was none other than Percy.
Percy was also surprised to see that Nina was not the person who opened the door. He glanced at the room number again to make sure he was not at the wrong room, then asked, “Where’s Nina?”
“Nina? I don’t know her. You must be at the wrong room.” Luca knew that Nina was not willing to talk to the man. She wanted to close the door, but Percy held it open forcefully.
“Nina checked into this room with her ID. She must be inside,” Percy said coldly. He did not expect that Nina was staying with another person.
Fortunately for Luca, she was a woman. If she were a man, Percy would not hesitate to off her.
“Who are you? Why should I let you in?” Luca tried to stall him.
“I’m looking for Nina. You’d better get lost if you don’t want any trouble,” Percy said impatiently.
When the maid woke up earlier that morning, she found that Nina was not in her bedroom.
The maid searched the room and noticed that a suitcase was missing, and most of Nina’s daily clothes were gone. She guessed that Nina must have run away and contacted Percy.
Percy tasked his subordinates to search the hotels and homestays throughout A City and eventually found the hotel Nina was in.
When he received the information, he immediately rushed over to the hotel.
“Nina and I have our rights. What can you do to us? Also, Nina didn’t sign any contract with you, so what right do you have to take her away? Oh, right, I remember that you have a fiancée, right? Don’t think that you can take advantage of Nina. She’s not that kind of person. Be a gentleman and leave.” Luca did not feel threatened by Percy’s presence. She only hoped that Nina would not come out of the bathroom before she drove that man away.
She did not understand why Percy would not let go of Nina when he was going to marry another woman. Did he not know that Nina was not going to be forever young?
“I’d rather not get violent on you,” Percy slowly clenched his hands in fists. He would have already thrown a punch if not that the woman might be Nina’s friend.
Luca raised her eyebrows. Was he planning to fight her?
If it were three years ago, Bianca would not have been able to beat anyone in a fight. Things were different now, and she was no longer a pushover. Not many people on the Island of Despair could beat her in a fight, and she thought that she was evenly matched with Percy.
“Are you sure you want to fight? If you manage to defeat me, I’ll let you do whatever you want,” Luca said.
She had just finished speaking when Nina stepped out of the bathroom.
Nina had already heard Percy’s voice. She did not plan to step out of the bathroom until she heard that Luca was going to fight Percy.
“Stop it, Percy Mallory,” Nina said.
Percy turned his head to look at her. “Come home with me.”
“Now that I’ve left, I’m never going back,” Nina said while standing in front of Luca. She knew that Percy would not hesitate to beat up a woman if she offended him.
However, she was sure that Percy would never hit her.
He did not become violent the night before, even though he was furious. That was why Nina thought that she could protect Luca.
“You don’t have to protect me, Luca. He’s not going to take me away,” she said.
Percy became even angrier when he heard that Nina did not want to go back. He wanted to reach out and grab Nina, but Luca blocked his advance.
“If Nina doesn’t want to go with you, don’t even think of taking her away,” Luca said insistently.
Percy gazed at Luca gloomily, thinking that the woman was being a pest.
Nina was worried for Luca, knowing that Percy had a vengeful character. If Luca offended him now, he would eventually get back at her. novelbin
Nina did not want to trouble other people.
“I can talk to him, Luca,” Nina said.
Luca looked behind her in disbelief. “You’ve already said what you wanted to say, Nina.”
“I’ve already said it, but I think that he doesn’t get it yet. I’d like to repeat myself,” Nina said and took a deep breath. She was trying to control her emotions.
Luca wanted to say something, but she heard Luke’s voice. “Don’t meddle in their personal affairs.”
Luca looked down the corridor when she heard the low and resonant voice. Indeed, it was Luke.
Luke was also looking at her. “Come out here. I want to talk to you.”
Luca looked at him, then at Nina behind her, then at Percy. If Nina wanted to try to talk to him, she had no right to stop her. She pulled her hands away and warned Percy, “I’ll be right outside. Don’t even think of laying a finger on Nina. I’ll call the police.”
“The police can’t touch me,” Percy said viciously. He walked into the room and closed the door.
