Ch. 1741..1750

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1741-Luke was disdainful because of Luca's interaction with Jean.

Rain saw everything clearly, and she reported to Luke without missing a single detail.

That was why his expression was ugly.

Luca sat up straight and put on her seatbelt.

"You don't have anything to say?" Luke asked.

Luca wondered what was there to say. ‘Am I supposed to tell him what I discovered?'

She nodded and said quickly, "After talking to Jean, I'm sure that Nina is in Pierre's hands and she shouldn't be in any danger now. We can focus on investigating Pierre. We can start with—”

Luke interrupted her and said coldly, "Rains is aware of all that you mentioned. She's taking action now."

Luca was astounded, nodded, and said in a neutral tone, "Oh."

Luke was infuriated when he thought of how Jean took advantage of Luca. He stopped talking, stepped on the accelerator, and drove off.

Luca could tell that he was speeding and pursed her lips. Even if he did not say anything, she could tell that he was fuming.

When Luke was angry, it was best not to say anything. What was more, she was not Bianca. She was just an employee of his. It did not seem right if she tried to comfort him.

The green light ahead turned red. Luke slammed on the brakes so hard that he almost rushed past the zebra crossing.

Luca frowned. If he had not stepped on the brakes in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable...

"Mr. Crawford, what's the matter with you?" she asked.

Luke's expression was cold. ‘She's asking me what's the matter?!'

She was Bianca, so, of course, she knew what was wrong with him.

Luke wanted to uncover the truth and asked her if she had lost interest in him. However, his past experience told him that Luca's estrangement was a last resort and she still had strong feelings toward him.

"I'm fine." Luke turned his face away to look at the red light.

"Can you drive slower? I drank a little too much and my stomach is not feeling the best," Luca said pitifully. Her stomach was churning as Luke was driving so fast.

She had taken the drug so she would not get drunk. However, she felt sick since the liquor in her stomach had not been discharged. Nausea came in waves.

Luke was stunned. He was trying to vent his unhappiness but forgot that she had been drinking.

"Mm." His reply was stiff.

Luca closed her eyes. He was driving very fast just now and the ride was a little bumpy. She did not want to talk anymore as she felt that the booze in her stomach would come out as soon as she spoke.

Luke felt pity at how distressed she looked, and his anger gradually decreased.

The reason why she did all of that was because of Nina. She was a kind person, so she would do her best to help when Nina encountered a situation as such.novelbin

Therefore, he should give her his full understanding and tolerance.

The red light turned green. Luke did not drive as crazily as before. It was a smooth ride, and they arrived at the apartment safely.

"We're here." He reminded her softly as he looked at the woman resting on the chair with her eyes closed.

Luca was sensitive toward his mood changes and knew that he was no longer fuming.

She opened her eyes, unbuckled her seat belt, and said to him, "Mr. Crawford, thank you for sending me back."

Luke nodded, unbuckled his seat belt, and said, "You're welcome. It's on the way, anyway."

Luca watched him open his car door, the implication being that he would sleep at her place that night...

She had no intentions of stopping him either.

Luca opened the car door and the two walked into the apartment building together. When they reached their floor, she opened the door and turned on the lights.

Luke walked straight to the maid's room like it was his room.

Luca retracted her gaze. She had too much to drink and her stomach was still feeling uncomfortable. She went into the kitchen and made herself a glass of honey water.

The honey water was sweet and light. She sat on the sofa and tasted it slowly. Luke came out, saw her drinking, and asked, "What are you drinking?"

"Honey water," Luca said, "Would you like to have some?"

"No," Luke was not a fan of honey water. He sat on the sofa and looked at Luca.

Luca felt a little awkward being stared at by him. She turned to look at him and asked, "Mr. Crawford, is there something on my face?"

"How much did you drink?" Luke asked.

"Not a lot..." Luca said.

"Rain has been keeping an eye on you." Luke reminded her to tell the truth. Rain had counted exactly how many glasses she drank.

Luca was stunned and had to explain herself, "I forgot how much I drank. I just know that I drank a little too much. After all, Jean is such a cunning person, if he doesn't drink enough, I can't manipulate him to tell me the truth..."

Luke looked at how calm she was as she explained herself. He knew that Luca did not like to drink. If it were not for Nina, she would not have drank so much...

"Mr. Crawford, the cocktails are nothing to me...I took the drug to help me," Luca explained, not wanting to worry him too much.

"Your drug does work, but your stomach is hurting too," Luke said. Luca's drug was able to keep one's brain alert without being affected even after ingesting a lot of alcohol.

However, the concentration of alcohol in the blood would not decrease because of the drug.

The alcohol she drank still needed to be excreted through the metabolism of the human body.

Luca finished the honey water and put down the glass. "I haven't had a drink in a long time, so my stomach can't take it. I'll be fine after drinking something sweet."

"If you're not feeling well, don't act like you are. I've made an appointment with Johann. I can take you to the hospital at any time for an IV drip." Luke had already made arrangements.

Luca was surprised. She did not expect him to trouble Johann just because she drank a little too much.

She touched her head, feeling embarrassed. She nodded and agreed. "Okay."

Luke looked at her blushing face. He resisted the urge to pull her into his arms and stood up. He walked into the bathroom with a fresh set of clothes.

Luca listened to the sound of the water in the bathroom and touched her hot face. ‘It must be the alcohol. I'm not tempted...'

She stood up, put the cup back in the kitchen, and walked straight back to the bedroom.

After she cleaned herself up quickly, Luca lay on the bed but could not fall asleep...

All she could think about was Luke.

His concern for her was not fake; it was real. It made it difficult for her to fall asleep...

'Should I execute Abel's command?'

If she wanted to go ahead with it, she was presented with a good opportunity. Even if she was reluctant to admit it, Luke's concern for her was not fake. He only had eyes for her.

However, she did not want to hurt him...

Luca turned around, and her bedroom door was opened.

She immediately turned on the bedside lamp and sat up. She looked at Luke, who was standing by the door, and said in surprise, "Mr. Crawford?"

Luke looked at Luca, who did not look at all sleepy. He asked in a low voice, "You're awake?”

"I just laid down and I'm ready for bed." Luca could not fall asleep but lied to him anyway.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1742-"Can you sleep?" Luke leaned against the door and stared at her.

Luca rubbed her eyes, pretended to be sleepy, and said, "Mr. Crawford, I'm very tired now and want to go to bed."

Luke did not expose her. Since she did not want to talk to him, he decided to be forceful. He walked into the bedroom and sat on the sofa.

"Mr. Crawford?" Luca was shocked by his actions. ‘Is he going to stay here tonight?'

Luke's slender legs were crossed, and he found a comfortable position. Luca drank a lot of alcohol, so even after she washed up, he could still smell the faint alcohol smell in the air.

It did not smell bad since it was blended with her body's special scent...

On the contrary, he was even a little tempted.

"There's something I want to talk to you about," Luke said. After he debated internally for half an hour, he decided that he could not let Luca escape from the truth any longer.

The fact that she flirted with Jean had stimulated his nerves. He could not stand it even though he knew she was acting.

"Mr. Crawford, it's late. Why don't we talk about it tomorrow? I'm sleepy and want to go to bed." Luca looked at the seriousness on his face and had a bad premonition. She used sleeping as an excuse and thought that he would not insist.

However, she was wrong.

Luke insisted and said, "If you want to sleep, I can sit here and we'll talk when you wake up."

'Sit here...?'

Luca was speechless. She could not sleep, and it would be even worse if Luke was here...

"Mr. Crawford, what do you want to talk about?" She had no choice but to compromise.

Luke asked, "Do you like anyone else right now? I mean, someone other than me."

Luca panicked and responded, "Mr. Crawford, what do you mean? I don't understand..."

"You look flustered." Luke's expression remained flat. He noticed all of her subtle expressions.

"No..." Luca pulled her hair back, which was something she did whenever she was uncomfortable.

Luke noticed and did not mention anything. "Do you mean no, you don't have your eyes on anyone else or, no, you're not flustered?"

Luca did not know how to answer such an aggressive question. If her response was in reference to his first question, it meant that she admitted to liking him and no one else.

However, she had been keeping her distance on purpose. She did not expect Luke to notice her feelings toward him.

Luca was about to explain herself but Luke did not continue to embarrass her. He said directly, "Luca, I like you, so starting from tomorrow morning, I'll pursue you."

Since she could not admit that she was Bianca, he was willing to pursue her again.

He believed that one day, he would find out who was controlling Luca. Then, their family would be reunited.

"Mr. Crawford, you can't do this!" Luca turned him down immediately. 'Luke wants to pursue me? He likes me?' Her heart clenched as she looked at the man who seemed to shine under the dim light.

"Why not? Give me a reason." Luke knew what she wanted to say but he guided her to say it.

"You have a wife. I don't want to be hated by thousands of people. Not to mention, we're very different people. We're not suitable for each other." Luca lowered her gaze and listed out the reasons for her rejection. She felt that the situation was ironic.

She was Bianca but she could not admit it. Even so, Luke told her that he liked her.

'Does he like Bianca or Luca?'

Although no matter which one he liked, she was both Bianca and Luca. She had two identities. If she got together with Luke, would she not be cheating on herself? If others found out, they would never believe it.

How ironic.

Luke listened to her explanation, his eyes dimming. 'Life is hard for her. She has to pretend in this situation...'

"My wife has already passed away," he said.

Luca was stunned. She raised her head and looked at him. She could not believe it as she uttered, "How is that possible..."

"She suddenly fell ill in the villa a few months ago. We didn't have time to rescue her, so she passed away. I haven't announced it to the public." Luke looked at her and said slowly, "I've kept it hidden considering the poor health of my mother-in-law. Old Master Rayne from her adoptive family is not in the best of health as well. Our children are still young, so..."

Luca thought that it was a good excuse. He did not confess to her that Bianca was fake. He just said that she passed away, so in a sense, he was single...

As such, he was able to pursue her.

Luca had to admire Luke's thoughtful thinking and was even a little worried that he had found out something.

However, there was nothing unusual about the man...

"Mr. Crawford, aren't you sad that your wife passed away?" Luca asked.

"Since she was kidnapped three years ago and reappeared, her temperament has undergone tremendous changes. Gradually, the relationship between us has turned into nothing. When she was still around, I always felt that she wasn't the Bianca I loved. Later, when she passed, I didn't feel too sad."

Luca kept silent. Even though she knew that some of Luke's words were false, she could not help but get emotional.

Seeing her silence, Luke said, "I've put it all on the table so you know how I feel about you. Luca, you should think about it. My feelings for you aren't fake, and this isn't a decision I made rashly. Have a good night's sleep."

Luca watched as he walked out of the bedroom, then stopped out of the blue.

He said, "The weather is getting cold. Make sure you cover yourself up and don't catch a cold." After that, he helped close the door on his way out.

Luca looked at the tightly closed door and did not lie down for a long time.

'How can I sleep now?' novelbin

She could not sleep before, and now, her mind was occupied by what Luke had said. She felt that her emotions were out of control.

Luca grabbed some sleeping pills, sighed, and put them back down.

She drank alcohol and could not take medicine now. Otherwise, she would suffer from terrible side effects...

Luca, in desperation, turned off the bedside lamp and laid down.

Luke's words seemed to be still ringing in her ears. She grabbed the blanket and could not fall asleep for a long time.

The next day.

Luca got up early with dark eye circles under her eyes. She subconsciously walked more gently when she passed the maid's room.

It was still early, so she did not want to disturb Luke. On top of that, she could not face Luke after he told her that he was keen to woo her.

Luca took out some ingredients from the refrigerator and made two simple breakfasts, one of which was packed in the bento box. She then went back to the bedroom to wash up, quickly put on light makeup to cover the dark circles under her eyes, and changed into a fresh set of clothes. She left with the bento box in her hands.

She quietly closed the apartment door and left quickly.

She was not sure how to react or deal with what Luke said the night before, so she opted to escape. She left the apartment early to avoid the embarrassment of the two meeting.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1743-After Luke talked to Luca, he fell asleep easily.

After a dreamless night, he woke up to find that Luca had left the apartment.

He raised his eyebrows when he saw the breakfast on the table. Luca did not usually make these dishes. Sometimes, when they were in a rush or if the prepared breakfast could not be eaten in time, she would make these dishes.

Luke touched the toasted bread with his hand and found that it was cold. It seemed that it had been on the table for a while.

"What an ostrich." He looked at the breakfast prepared for him and commented in a soft voice. He felt relieved that he had laid it all out on the table. No matter how much Luca wanted to run away, she would not escape from his palm.

No matter if she was Bianca or Luca, she was the love of his life.

Luke glanced at the time. He was not going back to the office that morning because today was the day Allison would get out of jail.

Even though he had only visited her a handful of times in the past few years, he had to be present for such an important event. After Luke washed up, he sat at the dining table and ate breakfast while planning some tasks for Jason.

Seeing that it was almost time, he drove off to the prison.

The lawyer had already arrived and started on the paperwork to get Allison released.

Luke stood at the door and waited. After a while, Allison came out. It was cold, so she put on a hat and a scarf that covered half of her face. No one could see what was going on with her face.novelbin

The public knew of Allison's release from prison, so there were many reporters around the prison gate. When she walked out of the prison, she noticed the reporters and quickly lowered her head.

Some of the reporters immediately surrounded her.

However, they were blocked by the prison guards. One of them scolded, "This is the prison. No one should mess around here."

"Sir, we just want to interview her," a reporter explained.

The prison guards' superior had already briefed them, so they firmly stopped the reporters. "No, this is the rule."

The reporters had no choice but to watch Allison, who was completely covered up, get into Luke's car.

Luke looked at the reporters. The time of Allison's release from prison was kept secret but seeing that there were so many reporters surrounding them, he was certain that someone had disclosed Allison's release to the reporters.

That person was probably Susan.

Only Susan would want Allison to make a fool of herself in front of the reporters.

Allison shut the car door and took off her scarf when she was certain that the reporters could not see her face. She watched Luke get in the car and asked, "Why are you the only one who came to get me? Where's the doctor?"

"Which one?" Luke started the car and left the prison. The lawyer would handle the rest.

"The doctor who treated my skin with her herbal concoction. Why didn't she come?" Allison was referring to Luca. Although her skin was not healed, there were no new scars and she was satisfied

with the effects.

"She's working," Luke said.

"What kind of work? Can't you get her here? You can easily pay her any amount she wants," Allison said, dissatisfied. Since the herbal concoction worked, she wanted to see Luca again but the lawyer was unable to help. Hence, she had no choice but to endure it.

"She's busy," Luke said.

Allison snorted coldly and replied, "It seems that you've been getting worse and worse in recent years. You could still get people to do as you please a few years ago, but now, you can't even get a doctor to come. Luke, I was in prison for a couple of years and couldn't keep an eye on you. Have you gotten lazy? I told you, you can't give Susan a chance!"

Luke ignored what she said when he heard that she was thinking about fighting for power as soon as she got out of prison.

Seeing that he did not respond to her, Allison said, "By the way, I'm moving back to Crawford Manor. Did the lawyer tell you?"

"Yeah," Luke replied. He knew all about it even if she did not say anything.

Allison did not have much money. Her only fixed asset was the villa. If she lived in the villa, she would have no other funds. If she sold the villa, she would still have some money on hand. After all, her villa had appreciated over the years.

However, if she sold the villa, she would have no place to live.

As such, whether the villa was sold or not, Allison would move back to Crawford Manor.

"What's the situation in Crawford Manor?" Allison continued to ask. Even with her face like this and the fact that she had stolen something from the manor, she did not feel any embarrassment or guilt.

To her, Crawford Manor was her territory.

"Same old," Luke replied.

Allison took off her hat. She found a mirror from the belongings in her bag and glanced at herself. She then put the mirror back in the bag, irritated.

She blamed it all on the Crawford family. She swore that she would get back everything that belonged to her when she was back!

Luke looked at her through the rearview mirror. With that look of resentment, he knew that when Allison returned to Crawford Manor, there would be a bloody storm.

The tranquility of Crawford Manor was sure to be ruined.

Luke thought about moving Luca into a bigger apartment, arranging for a maid, and taking the children to live with her.

The children would certainly be happy and would not be involved in the dispute.

Luke thought about it and was worried that Luca would not agree. Nevertheless, considering her concern for the kids, she would not be happy if she saw the children being involved in the drama between the adults.

As such, he was confident that he could get Luca to agree.

The kids were his secret weapon.

Luke drove back to Crawford Manor. Before he could stop the car, the gate opened. Everyone at Crawford Manor knew that it was the day Allison got out of prison, so they got ready early. They cleaned her room and prepared some hearty food to welcome her.

Seeing that they had arrived at Crawford Manor, Allison said with dissatisfaction, "The decoration around the door has not changed after so many years. The old man's taste is still the same. How boring."

Luke did not say anything. Crawford Manor was renovated every year but it was based on the preferences of Old Master Crawford. The door had always been solemnly decorated and had not changed.

"I'll drive in," he said.

Allison snorted coldly before putting on a hat and a scarf. She covered herself tightly so that the butler and maids would not see her face.

Luke drove in and parked his car in the parking lot.

Allison dawdled for a while before she opened the car door and got out. She tried to straighten her back to make herself look the same as before.

The maids had already heard about the news that Allison's face was ruined. Even if they were curious about how she looked, they did not look up so as not to anger her.

"Welcome home, Madam Allison," the butler and the maids greeted her in unison.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1744-Allison watched arrogantly as they welcomed her. She was discontented. The maids calling her 'Madam Allison' reminded her that Susan was inside the manor, ready for a fight.

Although the maids did not dare to look up at her face, she knew Susan must be waiting to make fun of her.

Allison lowered the brim of her hat and said to Luke, "Come on. Walk in with me."

Within the family, the only one she could rely on at that moment was Luke.

Luke stayed silent when he saw that she did not dare to take a step forward. He made a gesture to the butler and walked in with her.

The butler got the hint and dismissed the maids who were involved in the welcoming ceremony.

Crawford Manor's living room.

Susan sat on the sofa. She held a cup of floral tea, drinking from it elegantly. She looked at the woman walking in, smiled, and said, "I was wondering why the butler brought all the maids together. It turns out that you're released from prison today."

Allison glanced coldly in her direction, kept silent, and prepared to go upstairs.

She knew that it was not a wise choice to argue with Susan now. She had to keep a low profile to prepare for the battle for what belonged to her.

Seeing that Allison was avoiding arguing with her, Susan cleared her throat and said, "Is it appropriate for you to not even greet Old Master Crawford now that you're back?”

Allison stopped in her tracks. In all the years she was in prison, she had been holding a grudge against Luke and Old Master Crawford.

Her son sent her into prison without a second thought while Old Master Crawford was constantly pursuing the matter.

If they had given in and stopped the investigation, she would not have had to suffer so much.

Luke glanced at Old Master Crawford, who was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression. Old Master Crawford agreed to let her move back in because he did not want her to lose her reputation by living outside.

This was a show of generosity. He would not hold her accountable for what she did in the past either. However, he was extremely dissatisfied with how Allison acted.

Old Master Crawford firmly believed that manners maketh man.

"Mother," Luke called out to Allison, hinting to her in a low voice. Even though he was already mentally prepared, he was not happy to see Allison be in a conflict with everyone at home on the first day she was released from prison.

Allison knew what he meant. She turned around impatiently while cursing at Old Master Crawford and Susan in her heart. She greeted them, "Good morning, Old Master Crawford. I'm back. I'll do my best in the future as your daughter-in-law to honor you."

"Mm." Old Master Crawford did not say much. He nodded while knowing that she was reluctant. Nevertheless, her greeting and reassurance meant she was taking into consideration his reputation.

Susan listened to her words and sneered, her expression full of provocation. "It's funny. In modern times, monogamy is the only legal form of marriage and I'm Zachary's legal wife. Old Master Crawford

only has one daughter-in-law. Why do we have an extra one here?”

Allison clenched her fists. She had been arguing with Susan about the issue for decades. She snorted coldly when it was brought up once more. "I'm Luke's mother and Luke is the grandson of Old Master Crawford. As such, I'm Old Master Crawford's daughter-in-law. What? You're unhappy about it? Even if you are, forget about it. Luke is the eldest grandson of the Crawford family and I'm Luke's mother. This is the truth. Nothing can change it."

With a bang, Susan slammed her cup on the coffee table and shouted, "So what if you're Luke's mother? If you think of this place as your home, you wouldn't have gotten someone to steal from here. You even left a scar on the forehead of my poor Thea! To be honest, I admire your shamelessness from the bottom of my heart. You even have the guts to return home after getting out of prison."

She had disliked Allison for as long as she could remember. She took advantage of the opportunity to attack Allison from all angles.

Old Master Crawford was sick of it when he heard the two of them beginning to attack each other within a few seconds of Allison's return. He stood up and said, "That's enough! It's all in the past. Stop arguing!"

"Dad, you've seen the wound on Thea's forehead. If Yuri hadn't taken her to South Korea for surgery, Thea's face would have been disfigured. Why can't I say anything about it? What I said is true, unlike her!" Susan looked at Allison resentfully.

'Why did she get released only after being locked up for a few years?'

Susan wanted Allison to be locked up for life!

Old Master Crawford glared at her and replied, "Will you be happy only when everyone knows about it?"

The Crawford family was humiliated for having a thief daughter-in-law like Allison. Fortunately, Luke's high spirits pushed T Corporation to another summit over the years, which quelled this scandal and made people focus on T Corporation instead of the Crawford family.

Susan snorted coldly and was even more discontent as she thought that Old Master Crawford was siding with Allison. She glared at Allison. 'She's nothing but a disfigured piece of trash. Why is he siding with her? All she did was give birth to a son who knows how to seize opportunities.'

Allison knew that Old Master Crawford wanted to calm the situation, so she did not say anything else.

The Crawford family was not headed by Luke. It was still in the hands of Old Master Crawford. If she was going to live here, she would have to endure certain situations.

Moreover, after the past events, she did not expect Luke to help her. The sons born by others were caring and stood by their mothers' side. Meanwhile, Luke would always side with Bianca and logic. It seemed that she had some backing in the Crawford family, but in fact, she was isolated and helpless.

That was why she had to keep herself calm, at least when Old Master Crawford was impatient, and stop arguing with Allison.

"I'm tired. If it's alright, I'll go upstairs first." Allison had a vicious look. After all, she had a hat covering her face, so no one could see her expression. novelbin

"Go ahead. Your bedroom is still the same. The butler has already cleaned your room and prepared everything you need. Let him know if you need anything else." Old Master Crawford's tone was not cold nor indifferent. Even though he was dissatisfied with Allison, she was still the woman involved with his dead son and Luke's mother. He was willing to give her whatever she needed.

Susan looked at Allison, who was going upstairs, and said in a dissatisfied tone, "I don't know who she thinks she is. How is she so arrogant? She won't even take off her hat, ugh."

Old Master Crawford glared at her. After he made sure that Allison had gone upstairs and was out of earshot, he said, "You know exactly why she's wearing a hat! What this family needs now is some calm. Keep your mouth shut and stop causing unnecessary drama."

After he said that, Old Master Crawford stood up and said to Luke, "Luke, come to my study."

"Mm." Luke followed behind Old Master Crawford.

Susan sat on the sofa, picked up the cold flower tea, and put it down again. She muttered softly, "Who does she think she is?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1745-In the study.

Old Master Crawford watched Luke light the incense, then looked out the window. His eyes were cloudy. He seemed to have a lot on his mind.

Luke closed the lid and said, "Grandpa, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Is your mother's face incurable?" Old Master Crawford knew that Luke had arranged for a doctor to go to prison to check on Allison but he never asked about it. After he saw Allison wrapping herself up like that, he knew that the treatment was not working as well as she hoped.

"The wrinkles on her face are permanent and irreversible," Luke said.

Old Master Crawford sighed. He knew that it was Allison's fault and she had no one to blame but herself. However, she would bring embarrassment to the Crawford family if she insisted on going out in public.

He said, "This home is not peaceful, and it's not good for the physical and mental health of the kids. If you want, you can move out with the kids and only bring them back to accompany me during the holidays."

"Grandpa, I know what to do." Luke nodded. He had already thought of this, but there were too many things happening recently. Hence, he had not made the necessary arrangements yet.

"By the way, I gave Louis a sum of money and asked him to buy a house. I plan to let him bring Thea there to live. If Susan wants to, she can also move there. I want to give you a heads up because his new house is near the house you bought recently. If you want to move out with the kids, you can choose to move there. Although the two of you aren't from the same mother, you share the same

father. I hope you can take care of each other," Old Master Crawford said. They were brothers, so their strength would become greater if they were united.

He was old. He knew that the Crawford family would be handed over to Luke and Louis sooner or later. What he hoped was that the two could unite and not be estranged just because of their mothers.

"Okay," Luke nodded. He also intended to move the kids away. He did not expect Louis to move into the neighborhood as well, but he was happy with it. At least they could still often meet and chat.

Old Master Crawford waved his hand and said, "Okay, I don't have anything else to talk to you about. I'm sure you've been busy with work, so I won't take up any more of your time. You can get back to work."

"Okay, Grandpa." Luke pushed the tea the butler brought in front of Old Master Crawford, then turned around to leave.

If he did not have to pick up Allison, he would have been dealing with work at T Corporation.

Luke walked to the ground floor from the study and found that Susan was still sitting there, eating some desserts prepared by the cook. When she saw him coming down, she called out to him, "Luke, wait."

Luke stopped and replied, "Mother, what can I do for you?"

"Can I only call out to you if I have something that I need from you? I'm your mother. Can't I stop you just to have a chat?" Susan deliberately picked a fight.

"If all is well, I need to go to the office," Luke said blankly. When he was young, disputes between the adults would inevitably involve him.

As he grew up, he started putting aside these family disputes. They hardly affected him now.

Susan was dissatisfied when she saw him mentioning T Corporation every chance he had.

'Is he trying to show off that he's capable? He's just lucky. If it weren't for him being a few years older than Louis, T Corporation would've never ended up in his hands.'

"I stopped you because I have something to talk to you about. Since your mother is disfigured now, I want to say that as her son, you should remind her not to wander around, especially at night. I don't want her to scare the kids when they see her face. Otherwise, they're going to have nightmares. If possible, she shouldn't come down during the day too. It's petrifying." Susan deliberately made a scared expression and rubbed her arms.

Luke said blankly as he knew that she wanted to pick a fight, "Don't worry, she won't walk around the house and scare anyone."

Allison was a woman who cared a lot about her appearance. Now that she was back, she would not go out or downstairs unless she had to. Even if she wanted to roam around, she would wrap her face up tightly.

Susan nodded with satisfaction and replied, "That's good. I'm just afraid that if some ignorant maids see her face and they end up getting frightened, she'll get pissed again. Some of the maids here might have connections with reporters. If her face is photographed, the Crawford family will be embarrassed."

Luke listened to Susan's words. She made it sound as though she was doing everything for the good of the Crawford family. He did not say anything and walked out of the living room.

After he left, Susan snorted coldly and said, "How rude! I don't know what Old Master Crawford sees in you. Why did he hand T Corporation to you?!"

When the butler heard that, he brought her a plate of melon seeds.

Susan looked at him, puzzled. "I don't want to eat melon seeds. Why did you bring me some?"

"This is Old Master Crawford's order. He wants you to eat more and talk less," the butler said softly.

Susan was annoyed. She glared at the butler and said, "Why can't I say anything? Is there any freedom of speech in this household?"

Seeing her reaction, the butler took the opportunity and said, "Old Master Crawford also said that if you're not happy living here, you can move out with Young Master Louis. He has given Young Master Louis a sum of money to buy a villa outside. " novelbin

"What did you say? Louis bought a villa? Why didn't I know about this?!" Susan said in shock. She stood up immediately. "When did this happen?"

"A few days ago. The villa is in the most luxurious area of the city and it has everything you need. The villa is lavish. It's in line with your temperament and identity," the butler said. Old Master Crawford had told him to put it that way when telling Susan.

Old Master Crawford thought that it would be best if Susan moved out with Louis so that Crawford Manor would be much quieter when he and Allison were the only ones left.

Susan frowned as Louis had not mentioned it to her.

"Why don't I know anything about this?!"

"Maybe Young Master Louis wanted to give you a surprise. Do you want to move out?" the butler made a guess although he already knew why Louis did not say anything to her.

Louis wanted to move out some time ago but Susan used her granddaughter as an excuse to reject.

She felt that they would be giving Luke a chance if they moved out, so she kept asking Louis to live here with Thea.

In that way, they stood a better chance of getting a larger cut of the family fortune.

However, Louis did not share the same thought. His hands were tied, but when he had the opportunity, he secretly made the arrangements.

"Move out? Of course, I don't want to. If I move out, that would just make things easier for that b*tch Allison!" Susan refused without a second thought.

Although Old Master Crawford had privately given Louis money to buy a house, she was still reluctant to move out. She firmly believed that she would be able to get her hands on more resources if she continued to live there.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1746-The more Susan thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She muttered, "No, I'm going to ask Louis about this. He's so unsensible. What's wrong with staying here? Why does he want to move out?"

The butler watched her leave in a hurry and shook his head helplessly.

Louis was the kind of person who did not fight for anything. It was normal for him to want to move out after being forced by her to fight for everything every day. ...

After Luke arrived at the office, he immediately asked Jason to schedule a meeting.

The entire management team was expected to be present, including Luca.

After she received the news, Luca packed up the materials she needed for the meeting. As she carried her laptop, she suddenly thought of what Luke had said last night...

This morning, she ran away and left like an ostrich. However, she knew that she would have to face him sooner or later...

It was what it was. Although she had to deal with Luke because of work, she still felt uncomfortable...

Tina knocked on her office door and walked in, "Dr. Craw? I saw that the lights were on in your office and guessed that you were still here. Don't you have a meeting? Why are you still sitting here?"

When she saw Tina's smile, Luca immediately picked up the documents and materials she prepared for the meeting. "I was just thinking about something..."

Tina suddenly came closer and stared at her face carefully. "Dr. Craw, you..."

Luca touched her face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Did you not rest well last night? Your face is so dry."

"You can tell even after I put on makeup?" Luca rubbed her face unconsciously. She was worried that Luke would wake up early, so she rushed her makeup and did not cover up the flaws carefully. She did not expect that Tina would notice it at a glance.

Tina nodded. "I have great eyesight, so I can see everything. Not only is your skin dry, but there are also dark circles under your eyes. It looks like you didn't get a good night's sleep and didn't put on makeup carefully this morning. Look, some spots weren't covered by foundation."

Luca touched where Tina was pointing and said helplessly, "I went out in a hurry in the morning, I didn't pay much attention to my makeup."

"I assume you don't have anything to touch up your makeup? I'll lend you my makeup. You must look your best in front of everyone for the meeting later." Tina handed the compact foundation in her pocket to Luca.

Luca took it, thanked her, then touched up her makeup. She looked at herself in the mirror and realized that her makeup was indeed not done properly.

"Thank you." After she was done, she handed the foundation back to Tina.

Tina took it, put it back in her pocket, and said with a smile, "I'm attending today's meeting too. Shall we go together?"

Luca nodded and left with Tina.

Tina continued to gossip, "Dr. Craw, why didn't you sleep well last night?"

"It's nothing. It's just insomnia," Luca said. She could not tell anyone about what Luke said to her the night before, including Nina. As such, she did not dare to say anything to Tina as well.

Tina thought about it and said, "I think you're losing sleep over love."

"Don't joke around. I'm not in love." Luca lowered her gaze and waited in front of the elevator. She could not admit it even if she was losing sleep over her romantic relationship.

"I'm not joking. Look at your face. Although your skin is in poor condition, it's rosy. It looks like love is coming your way." Tina exposed her. novelbin

Luca said helplessly, "I didn't know that you were a fortune teller as well."

"That's right, I learned the craft from an old lady. Not only can I tell your fortune from your facial features, but I can also do palmistry. Dr. Craw, do you want me to take a look? I can do any type of readings, including romantic relationships." Tina joked.

"That's impressive." Luca shook her head helplessly. After talking to Tina, she felt less anxious and much more energetic.

The two took the elevator down and walked into the conference room together. Almost all of the heads of various departments were there. Tina quickly put down her laptop, distributed the files in her hand to each executive, and said, " Good morning everyone. Do you want coffee?" "Yes, thank you," several of the executives responded.

Tina went out to prepare some coffee.

Luca sat on the right side of the CEO's seat and felt more anxious than ever. When she saw Tina head out, she stood up and said, "Tina, I'll help you."

After Tina walked out of the conference room, she looked at Luca and said, "Dr. Craw, I can do it on my own. I'm good without your help."

"Experiments are my forte. It's not my forte to sit next to the CEO and take notes of the meeting. I'm not comfortable with how those executives are looking at me," Luca explained and helped Tina make coffee.

Tina said cheekily, "It's not the first time you've sat there, so why are you nervous?"

"I don't know either. Sitting there makes me feel like I'm being interviewed for university. It's very uncomfortable. Maybe it's because I'm not a professional in this and was pulled in at the last minute,” Luca explained.

"Don't put yourself down! Those in the management team of T Corporation are of high capability. You sitting next to them means that the boss recognizes your ability. Be confident in yourself." Tina comforted her.

Luca shook his head. 'Luke acknowledged my capability?'

Before that, she thought that Luke got her involved because of a lack of manpower. He could not trust strangers, so he chose her.

Later, she thought these arrangements were made because Luke was used to her.

However, what he said the night before made her realize that Luke's arrangement might not be an endorsement of her ability but because he had ulterior motives.

It was because he wanted to get close to her so that he could monitor her all the time. Even if it was not to monitor her, he definitely had other motives.

As such, Luca felt out of place when she sat there.

She felt that she should not be sitting there. The confidence she had in the past was inexplicably disappearing little by little.

In the conference room.

An executive watched Luca go out with Tina and started to gossip with his colleagues. "This translator looks young. The boss seems to pay a lot of attention to her. Have you heard anything about her?"

"What could we possibly hear? She's just a professor working in the research room downstairs who happened to have studied in Russia and has fair translation skills. It just so happened that our Russian translator is on maternity leave, so this task fell on her head."

"I heard the same but don't you think it's strange? A young woman like her has that kind of ability?" the executive questioned. "She's a research professor downstairs. I think it's interesting that she's here. I won't believe it if someone says that she's not somewhat involved with Mr. Crawford."

"She does look young but I heard that this woman is actually about the same age as Mr. Crawford, maybe just a few years younger. I think she truly has the capability."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1747-They stopped talking as soon as Jason walked in.

Jason glanced at the seat next to the CEO's and did not see Luca. He frowned and asked, "Where's Dr. Craw? She's not here yet?"

"She's helping Tina make coffee." The executive who led the conversation about Luca earlier replied.

Jason nodded. It was not Luca's job to make coffee but he did not say anything. He reminded them, "Get ready. The meeting is about to start. Mr. Crawford's hands are full, so try to simplify things as much as possible when you present later. Focus on key points so that you can save yours and other people's time.”

"Yes, Mr. Doyle." The executives knew how strict Luke was with work and agreed readily.

Luca and Tina walked in with the coffee. When Jason saw them, he immediately stepped forward and picked up two cups of coffee. "Tina can handle this. Dr. Craw, you'd better take your seat."

"Yeah, Dr. Craw," Tina said.

The executives listened to what Jason said and sighed secretly in their hearts. From his attitude, they could tell that Luca was someone of special status. She was not just a translator.

They thought that maybe she was secretly involved with the boss.

After all, someone had seen Luca attending Old Master Crawford's birthday banquet, so it was believable for them to be in a hidden relationship.

Luca put the tray on the conference table and said, "It's no trouble."

Tina shook her head, put a cup of coffee in front of everyone, and then put one of the special brews where the CEO would sit.

That cup of coffee was brewed by Luca. Tina knew that Luca was an expert in making coffee after seeing her skillful movements. As such, she poured the coffee she made into Luke's special cup.

Maybe their boss would like it considering Luca's skilled coffee-making ability.

Everything was ready, and Luke walked into the conference room.

Luca saw the man who walked in and looked away immediately to look at the laptop screen. She placed her fingers on the keyboard, ready to take meeting minutes.

However, her mind unconsciously recalled what he said last night.

She remembered every word.

Luca was a little annoyed with how good her memory was. She remembered everything that Luke said.

Luke glanced at Luca. She was sitting there stiffly but her posture was standard. At first glance, it was clear that she was avoiding him.

All eyes were on him. She was the only exception.

She made it obvious that she was trying to distance herself from him.

Luke coughed twice, cleared his throat, and sat down in the chair.

Luca noticed his coughing and could not help but worry if he had caught a cold.

It was a little cold last night and he had waited for her in the car. 'Did he catch a cold because of it?'

That should not be the case, though. There was a heater in the car. Even if he had waited in the car, he should not be cold. After she was done drinking and Rain brought her to the car, she remembered that the heater in the car was turned on.

Luca was thinking about whether Luke had caught a cold when she heard him cough slightly again.

She was certain that he was sick and it was most likely from him waiting for her the night prior.

She suddenly realized that Luke probably did not eat anything since he had waited outside the entire night. Of course, he would be sick. He was cold and hungry...

Luca felt guilty all of a sudden. When they arrived home yesterday, she just avoided him and did not say anything. She did not consider that he might not have eaten anything after waiting all night...

His stomach was not the best...

When Luca was deep in thoughts, Luke said in a low voice, "Let's start the meeting." novelbin

Luca came back to her senses immediately, pressed the recorder, and started taking notes.

The meeting was long because Luke was not satisfied with the updates from many of the executives. The meeting that was supposed to end in an hour lasted two hours. They even missed their lunch break.

Everyone was starving, but they made sure they carefully updated Luke about all the tasks on hand.

Luke's expression darkened. In the end, he said, "If I were the other party, I would have no intentions of working with us after seeing such a non-competitive proposal. Work on the issues pointed out just now as soon as possible. I'll give you a half-hour lunch break. After eating, start with the revision immediately. I want to see the revised proposal when we continue the meeting tomorrow morning." "Yes."

"Got it." The executives knew they had to work overtime tonight but did not dare to complain. After all, Luke was notorious for being picky about work. They dared not say anything.

At the end of the meeting, the executives left immediately with the documents so that they had as much time as possible to work on the changes required.

Tina packed everything up, stood up, and extended an invitation to Luca, "Dr. Craw, why don't we go downstairs for a light meal?"

Luke mentioned that they were allowed a half-hour lunch break. They had time to have a light meal.

"Okay." Luca closed her laptop and glanced at Luke subconsciously. He had already stood up and left without looking back.

He appeared cold and arrogant.

'Is he angry because he's not satisfied with the executives' progress? Or is he angry because I fled this morning?'

Luca looked at how Luke acted and unconsciously felt uneasy. She realized then that Luke was very important to her.

His silence and cold expression were very different from the Luke she saw yesterday.

Luca had a feeling that what she heard and saw yesterday was all a dream.

However, the sleepless night made it clear that everything that happened was real. The greater the discrepancy in Luke's actions, the more uneasy she was.

Jason heard that they were going for a quick lunch and said, "Give me your laptops. I'll help you bring them to your tables. It'll save you a little time."

When she heard that, Tina asked curiously, "Mr. Doyle, are you not having lunch?"

"I knew that today's meeting would run over time and we'd miss our lunch break, so I've already ordered something. My food can be delivered as soon as I notify the restaurant. Give me your things and quickly go eat," Jason said thoughtfully.

Tina took his offer and gave him her things. "Thanks for the trouble, Mr. Doyle."

Luca chimed in, "Mr. Doyle, thank you."

Jason waved his hand and replied, "Go get a quick lunch. Although neither of you got criticized, they'll have to change the proposal, which means that your workload will increase accordingly."

Luca and Tina left the conference room.

Jason looked at three laptops and a few folders, then called an intern to help bring them upstairs.

Luca's office laptop was carried by Jason because she had important translation files on it.

After he arrived upstairs, Jason noticed Luke had just stepped out of the elevator.

"Boss," he greeted him.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1748-Luke noticed the laptop in his hands and frowned. “Is this Luca's laptop?"

“Yes, Boss. This is Dr. Craw's laptop. There's only half an hour left 'til their lunch break ends, so I told them to go have their lunch first and I'll bring their laptops back," Jason explained.

Luke's frown deepened. Would that make Luca think that he was an inconsiderate person while Jason was an understanding person?

Jason looked at Luke's expression. He could not help but wonder and asked, “What's the matter, Boss?"

Luke said in a cold voice, “Well, you sure know how to please others."

He grabbed Luca's laptop from him. “Is there anything else that belongs to her?"

Jason quickly handed two folders to him and said, “These belong to Dr. Craw..."

Jason dared not to keep anything as he realized the extent of his boss' possessiveness over Luca.

Luke took them from him and asked, “Where's my lunch?"

“I've already placed the order this morning. It should be on the way here now," answered Jason. As Luke's top assistant, he had already made arrangements for everything.

“Do women prefer men like you?" Luke asked. He was utterly depressed when he noticed that Luca did not even glance at him earlier.

“What?" Jason asked before realizing Luke's tone when he asked the question. He quickly explained, “No, Boss. Please don't take it the wrong way. I'm just concerned about my colleagues. It has nothing

to do with the romantic relationship between a man and a woman. Don't say that. I'll be skinned alive if Sue finds out about this."

Luke looked at him acting like a hen-pecked husband and thought Jason would never have the guts to harbor inappropriate thoughts about Luca no matter how bold he was. He was not only kind to Luca as he had gotten the intern to carry Tina's laptop too.

"Put them away," said Luke. He carried Luca's laptop and folders in his hands as he walked into his office.

Jason's jaw dropped when he saw that. He wondered if he should remind Luke that those things he was carrying were Luca's.

The intern noticed that too and said in a low voice, “Mr. Doyle, aren't the laptop and folders that Mr. Crawford is carrying Dr. Craw's? Why is he bringing them into his office?" "Boss has his reasons for doing that. An intern like you should stop making wild guesses. Do your part and focus on your job. That's how you'll get a better future. Got it?" Jason snapped at him.

The intern quickly nodded and replied, “Yes, yes. You're right, Mr. Doyle."

“I'm not lecturing you. I'm giving you work experience. Everything that the boss says or does is always right, no matter if it's about work or some insignificant matter," Jason said while he headed to his office.

It was easier for him to carry his things without Luca's laptop and folders.

The intern followed behind him, and he grabbed the opportunity to ask, “What if the supervisor or boss makes a mistake on some important matters?"

“Then you'll have to mention it to them. But it has to be on the right occasion and in the right tone. Don't let your supervisor or your boss think that you intend to provoke them or doubt their capability and

decisions," Jason continued to say.

Then, the intern asked again, “Have you ever pointed out to Boss about his mistake?"

"No." Jason shook his head as he placed the laptop on his table. Then, he looked at the intern with a straight face. "It's not because I don't dare to do so but that every decision our boss made has been the right one. That includes the copywriting that your department manager has to amend later. It's the boss' request to amend it. If you pay close attention to the work, you'll realize the copywriting is dull. Boss isn't going to give such copywriting quality a pass. So, it must be amended. Boss is very strict when it comes to work. He doesn't make any mistakes."

The intern placed Tina's stuff on Jason's table and gave him a thumbs up. "Our boss is pretty amazing."

“Yes. If you're willing to work hard, you'll be able to learn more in T Corporation compared to other companies. All the best, lad." Jason patted on the intern's shoulder. "Alright. That's all for now. You may go downstairs first. Oh, don't take the boss' elevator."

"Got it. Thank you, Mr. Doyle." The intern was very enthusiastic as though he was all fired up.

Jason looked at the intern's serious expression and shook his head. He recalled how he applied for a job to work in T Corporation after graduating from university. He became Luke's assistant after working hard for some time.

He had been working hard ever since.

He learned many things while working with Luke.

Many had told him that with his working experience and the connections he had built all these years, he would be able to succeed if he started his own business. There was no need for him to remain working

for Luke, and he would be able to advance his career.

However, he did not listen to what those people said. It was fine for him to work for Luke, and it was not because he was resting on his laurels. He just thought he would benefit more if he worked for Luke.

Moreover, although he was Luke's subordinate, the relationship they shared had long exceeded just that of a superior and subordinate after all these years.

Luca and Tina had a simple and quick lunch downstairs. They had limited time for their lunch break, and they ran into a few senior managers who attended the meeting just now.

They did not talk much to each other as there was not much time left.

After lunch, Luca and Tina got into the elevator together and returned to their office.

Both of them walked into Jason's office as they thought Jason had their belongings.

“Have you taken your lunch?" Jason asked.

"Yes." Tina saw her laptop and folder placed on the side of the table. She left Jason's office after she picked them up and thanked him.

Luca glanced at his table and the coffee table near the sofa. She could not find her laptop and folders, so she asked, "Mr. Doyle, where's my laptop and folders?"

"They're in the boss' office. Please get them from him," Jason smiled and replied.

Luca was startled. "Why are they in his office?"

"Boss saw me carrying a lot of things and helped me carry some. Then, we realized your office door was closed, so he carried your things into his office. That's why they're in this office," Jason explained.

Luca shrugged helplessly. That was quite a coincidence, huh?

Luke left the meeting room before them. Besides, he took his private elevator. How did he manage to run into Jason?

"Mr. Doyle, can you please go in and get them for me?" Luca asked.

"Dr. Craw, I'm a little busy now. I'm sorry, I think you'll have to take them yourself," said Jason. There was a reason why Luke brought her things into his office. Would he not be ignorant if he helped her take her things from Luke?

As the boss' assistant, he should help his boss to accomplish anything he wanted.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1749-Luca was speechless. It seemed like Jason was not willing to help her.

She would have to face Luke alone sooner or later. She pondered for a moment before walking out of the office.

Rather than facing Luke alone at home, it was better to face him in the office. At least he would assess the situation and not do anything crazy to her.

Luca thought for a moment and knocked on Luke's office door.

“Come in." Luke's voice came from the other side of the door.

Luca pushed the door open and saw the man busy with his work. She took a deep breath and entered the office. "Mr. Crawford, I came to get my laptop and folders."

"They're here." Luke pointed at the edge of his office desk without lifting his head.

Luca nodded, picked up her things, and was ready to leave.

"I need to talk to you," said Luke.

Luca paused, then closed her eyes. She could not run away from him, so she had no choice but to listen. "Yes, Mr. Crawford?"

"I'll be busy for the time being and I'd like to take the apartment back. It'll be more convenient for me to get to work and back," said Luke.

Luca was stunned. Was he taking back the apartment?

She did not think it mattered to her. She would just have to move back to her previous apartment. The journey to the office would be longer, but it was not a big deal.

"Alright. I'll go home and pack today. I'll move out tomorrow," said Luca as complex emotions rose in her heart. novelbin

Was Luke kicking her out of the apartment?

Why would he do that? Was it because she did not give him a clear answer last night? Was that the reason he did not plan to persist in pursuing her?

If she moved back to her apartment now, Abel would know about it and he would think that she had failed her mission. She knew exactly what she would have to face later.

"I can't get used to sleeping on the maid's bed. That's why I want the apartment back. I've prepared another place for you. It's not far away from the office." Luke continued to look at the screen. He was working and implementing his plan at the same time.

"Ah? Mr. Crawford, why don't you move there, then?" Luca asked. It was troublesome for her to move here and there.

Luke stopped working and lifted his head to look at her with his gloomy eyes. "My clothes and daily necessities are all in the apartment. I'm asking you to move out of the apartment so that I can save my time. As for your belongings, I'll get a professional moving service to pack your things for you. You need not worry about it. Your things will be moved to the new place."

Luca listened to him. What he meant was that he refused to let her move back to the previous apartment and she had to move out of the current apartment too.

She nodded and readily agreed to what he said. "Alright, Mr. Crawford."

No matter what his arrangements were, he would not use 'working overtime' as an excuse to stay with her in the future anymore.

The distance between them would not grow too close either. Besides, the place she was moving to belonged to Luke too. She could still lie to Abel so that he would not be in a rush to take any action.

Luke said, "You may leave if there's nothing else. I'll send your new accommodation's address to you later."

"Okay, Mr. Crawford." Luca only nodded her head and agreed to what he said.

When she turned around carrying the laptop and folders in her arms, she heard the man say, "I'm going back to Crawford Manor tonight. You don't have to prepare my portion for tonight's dinner and tomorrow's breakfast."

"Alright..." Luca left the office after that.

She heard Luke coughing again when she closed the door.

She thought of preparing some soup for him tonight to soothe his throat and lungs, but he was not going to the apartment tonight.

Luca let out a sigh and shook her head. She carried the laptop back to her office and forced herself to concentrate on her work.

After Luke watched Luca leave, he stopped working and began to make arrangements for the move.

He found a cleaning company and asked them to clean the furniture and the villa. The villa would soon be his, Luca, the kids' home.

After that, Luke called the cleaning lady who had been cleaning Luca's apartment. Once that was settled, he continued his work.

In the evening, when everyone got off work.

Luca returned to the apartment. She had mixed feelings when she saw that the cleaning lady had almost finished packing her stuff.

Luke claimed that he could not get used to sleeping in the maid's room, but he had been sleeping there for a few nights continuously. How did he suddenly become not used to it?

There was only one explanation. He had decided to give up on her as she did not agree to his request last night.

Asking her to move out of the apartment was the best choice. He would not have to trouble the others to pack his things. After all, judging from his personality, he had always hated unrelated people touching his personal belongings.

His personal belongings would remain in the apartment. He would be able to move back to the master bedroom afterward. He handled the matter well by providing her with another accommodation.

Luca understood what was the purpose of him doing so.

Their conversation last night had brought the two of them who used to be distant even farther away from each other.

It seemed like she could no longer receive his special treatment. Luke would only treat relationships like fast food now...

"That's great. I don't have to follow Abel's order to harm you. Even if I have to do something to hurt you in the future, you won't fall into the trap just because you trust me so much." Luca looked at the luggage that was already packed. Then, she put the ingredients that she bought earlier in the kitchen.

She took the ingredients out and realized that even though she knew Luke would not be coming over for dinner, she had accidentally bought the ingredients to make soup.

With all these ingredients, she would be able to make a pot of soup that could cool the body and nourish the lungs.

Luca shook her head helplessly. Since she had bought the ingredients, she would still have to make the soup. She recalled that Tina and Jason had been helping her during this period. She thought of putting the ingredients in the fridge first. She would wake up early to make the soup and bring it to the office to give it to them.

Luca ate something simple for dinner after planning it out. Then, she continued her work.

She worked until 11 at night. She yawned, washed herself up, and went to sleep.

She thought not being able to sleep last night would make her sleep well tonight, but when she lay down on the bed, she tossed and turned. It was yet another restless night.

She kept thinking about how Luke had asked her to move out.

Luca slept on her side and touched the mattress gently. The bedsheets were new, but not the mattress.

Luke must have slept on this mattress before she moved in here.

Luca let out a deep sigh at the thought of moving to another place without any traces of Luke having lived there before. She sat up on the bed and took some sleeping pills. Then, she reported to Abel and told him that Luke would arrange for her to move into a more luxurious apartment.

She said that only because she did not want Abel to find out that Luke was distancing himself from her.

She would continue to pretend that she had a chance to get together with Luke to make Abel believe in her.

After she completed everything, she put her phone aside. Soon, she felt sleepy under the influence of the drug. She fell deeply asleep.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1750-The following day.

The people from the moving company were already here when Luca woke up.

She did not have a lot of things with her. There were only two suitcases of clothes and books, as well as some experiment instruments that were already packed.

The people from the moving company were busy for a while, then they started moving her belongings into the truck. One of them asked, “Miss, would you like to follow us to the new address?"

Luca thought Luke must have already made arrangements for her, so she shook her head and said, "I have to go to work. Send my things to the address and someone will meet you all there."

"Alright." The worker from the moving company turned around and left.

Luca returned to the apartment. She took the antidote that had been separated from the fridge and put it in her briefcase.

She did not trust the moving company to move them there.

After Luca brought the antidote with her, she distributed the soup into different flasks and left the apartment with them. She turned around and glanced at it the apartment before she closed the door.

She recalled how reluctant she was when she first moved in here. She was finally leaving now, but her heart was full of complicated emotions. She could find the words to describe how she was feeling now.

Was she reluctant to leave?

Luca looked down, mocking herself for having such feelings. Perhaps it was because she shared some memories here with Luke, so that was why she felt this way...

However, Luca moving out this time made her realize that Luke's partner did not have to be her.

His actions made his intentions clear. She did not agree to his request that time, and now, he was over her.

It was better this way too.

After Luca left the apartment, she hailed a ride and headed to the T Corporation.

It was still early. Jason had yet to reach the office when she entered.

Luca placed the thermos flasks that were filled with soup on the table and began to translate the documents. There was a pile of documents that needed to be translated. If she did not hurry up, she would not be able to translate all the documents in time.

Jason would always pass by Luca's office when he came to work. He popped his head around the door and curiously took a look when he saw that the lights were switched on. He saw Luca was already working.

“Good morning, Dr. Craw. Why are you so early?" Jason smiled and greeted her.

“I came earlier than usual today. Mr. Doyle, have you eaten your breakfast?" Luca smiled and asked. After she unconsciously bought the ingredients and made soup, she brought some to the office. She had prepared some for him too.

“Not yet. Sue has to accompany the kids to the school to join the charity event today. She didn't have time to look after me, so I bought breakfast when I was on my way here." Jason lifted the bag he was carrying in his hands. It was his breakfast.

Luca took one of the thermos flasks out and said, “Mr. Doyle, I made some soup. It can nourish your body, especially your lungs. Here's some for you."

Jason was surprised to hear that. He had tried Luca's cooking before and knew that the soup must taste good.

“Thank you, Dr. Craw. The weather has been cold, so I was thinking of drinking something hot." He came forward and took it from her. Then, he noticed there were two flasks left. He asked, “Are these for Boss?"

"Uh..." Luca scratched her head. She thought of telling him that she did not prepare anything for Luke. There were two flasks left. One was for herself, while the other was for Tina.

Jason noticed that she was holding back her words and made a guess. “You didn't prepare some for Boss?"

“I don't think Mr. Crawford needs it." said Luca. After all, if Luke wanted to eat something, he would not starve no matter where he went.

Jason shook his head and looked at Luca's face. He was wondering if she really had no idea or if she was doing it on purpose.

“Dr. Craw, I think it'd be better if you prepare another one for Mr. Crawford. Or should I give mine to him?" Jason said. If Luke knew Luca had prepared soup for Jason but not him, would he not be skinned alive?

Luca listened to him and understood what he meant. Indeed, it was inappropriate if she prepared things for the others but not him.

However, Luke had already made such arrangements. If she prepared his portion, would she not cause him to misunderstand?

Luca pondered for a few seconds. She had no choice but to compromise. She handed her flask to him. “You can give Mr. Crawford this."

“Oh, so you already have his portion. Well, you prepared the soup. Of course, it'd be better if you gave it to him yourself. Thank you for your soup. I'm going back to my office to work first." Jason carried the thermos flask and left.

Luca could not stop him even when she called out to him. She watched him leave, then she glanced at the flask of soup. Was she really going to give it to Luke herself?

She shook her head. She lowered her head and continued to translate the documents.

Luke would always pass by Luca's office when he went to his office. He saw Luca working with her head lowered when he passed by. He remained silent and walked past her office right away.

Before Luca could lift her head, Luke had already walked past her office.

She stood up unconsciously, but she wondered if it was impolite for her to stand here and call out to Luke. Hence, she sat down embarrassingly.

When Luke passed by Jason's office, he saw that Jason was drinking soup. He stopped and asked, “What are you doing?"

"Boss, I'm drinking soup." Jason noticed that Luke was not holding a thermos flask and wondered if Luca had given him the soup yet.

“Drinking soup early in the morning?" Luke raised his eyebrows. He could smell the fragrance of the soup from far away.

Jason explained, "Dr. Craw gave it to me. It won't taste as good when it's no longer warm."

Luca prepared soup for Jason?

"Who gave it to you?" Luke asked again.

"Dr. Craw." Jason intentionally pretended that he did not know about Luke's feelings and repeated.

Luke's glance turned cold. Luca would rather make soup for a man who had nothing to do with her than to prepare some for him? Was he still in her heart?

Jason looked at Luke's gloomy face, held back his laughter, and pretended to put on a confused expression on his face. "Boss, do you have any orders?"

Luke left without a word and walked back to his office.

Jason quickly finished the last sip of soup. Luke's expression was too exciting to watch just now. He believed Luke would have taken the soup from him right away if he had not drunk any of it.

"Dr. Craw, hurry up and give him the soup. Otherwise, everyone in the office will be in trouble," he muttered to himself. He had taken the risk to make Luke upset.

If Luca did not deliver the soup to Luke later, it was not just Jason but even the senior managers would also be in trouble when they attended the meeting later.

Luca finished arranging the meeting minutes yesterday. She printed out the translated documents and brought them to Jason's office. "Mr. Doyle, these are the arranged documents and translated data. Please take a look."

Jason shot a glance at them before closing them. Then, he said, "I'll keep the meeting minutes. You should hand the translated documents to Boss."

Luca heard him and said, "Shouldn't you be handing them to him?
