Ch. 1751..1760

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1751-"Didn't you prepare soup for Boss? You can pass it to him along with the documents." Jason dared not to enter Luke's office as he might cross the line. He was just joking before, but he dared not do it anymore.

Besides, if Luca did not go into Luke's office, the rest of them would all be in trouble later.

Jason urged Luca to do it. She did not tell him about her hesitation.

Jason noticed that she was not taking any action, so he said, "Boss saw me drinking the soup just now. He looked mad."

"Did you tell him that I gave you the soup?" Luca wanted to know if he did it on purpose.

Jason did not have to piss Luke off.

"Yes. Boss was wondering why I was drinking soup early in the morning. His expression changed when he knew it was you who gave it to me. Dr. Craw, we have to attend a meeting later. If Mr. Crawford isn't in a good mood, we'll all be screwed." Jason recalled the look on Luke's face. It was as black as ink. It would be hard to resolve this.

Luca was probably the only one who could chase away the dark clouds above Luke's head.

Luca listened to what Jason said and could not help but doubt him. However, she had no choice but to bite the bullet when she saw him refusing to bring the documents in for her. "Alright."

She picked up the translated documents and walked back to her office.

There was only one thermos flask left. Luca hesitated for a moment before picking it up. Then, she headed to Luke's office.

Knock, knock. Luca knocked on the door. She had been having this complicated feeling since Luke asked her to move out of the apartment.

Luke's voice came from inside the office. "Come in."

Luca pushed the door open and looked at the man behind the office desk. Indeed, his face was sulky like what Jason had told her.

"Mr. Crawford, I've finished translating the documents." She walked into the office and stopped after taking two steps forward.

"Put them here." Luke did not lift his head. novelbin

Luca walked to his office desk and placed the documents on it. Then, she put the thermos flask on his desk too. She took a deep breath and turned around, ready to leave.

Luke called her. "Wait."

Luca stopped walking, then she turned around and looked at him. “Mr. Crawford, do you need anything else?"

Luke pointed at the thermos flask and asked, "What's this?"

Luca thought, 'Doesn't he know about it? Why would he ask when he already knows it?' She did not know how to answer him.

She had no choice but to answer honestly, "It's soup. I made it this morning."

"All of a sudden?" Luke stared at her. It was difficult to figure out what he had in mind with those dark eyes.

"I bought the ingredients yesterday. I'm moving out soon, right? I can't possibly move the ingredients there too, so I prepared some soup. This soup can help to clear the heat in one's body and nourish your lungs. You'll feel much better if you have it during this season," Luca explained, trying hard not to let him think too much into it.

She bought the ingredients to make the soup only because she heard him coughing.

Luke's tone sounded a little cold as he listened to Luca's explanation. "You made soup for everyone. Luca, you're not the company's chef. You're my translator and the research professor downstairs."

Luca could sense his dissatisfaction in his voice. She nodded. "Yes, Mr. Crawford. I'll take note of it."

Even though she did not prepare the soup during working hours, she admitted that she was wrong. She did not want the man to mention that particular topic to her again.

Luke saw her behavior and knew no matter what he said, it would not affect her. He would only end up feeling more dissatisfied.

Then, Luca asked, "I can take it out if you don't want the soup."

"Put it there. Go out and get ready for the meeting later." Luke did not let her take it out with her. There was nothing he would like better than Luca bringing soup for him to drink.

He had deliberately coughed in front of her yesterday just to see her reaction.

He did not expect Luca to prepare some soup. He thought it was a good thing. However, he never thought that she would share the soup with Jason.

He was unhappy about it.

Luca listened to him, nodded her head, turned around, and left.

Luke's office door was closed again. He picked up the thermos flask and noticed the flask seemed to be slightly different from the one Jason was holding. It looked like it had a larger capacity.

She made it specially for him...

Luke's mood brightened up a little at the thought of this. His woman should not be treating other men kindly. She should only be treating him kindly.

He opened the thermos flask and took a sip of the soup. The soup was freshly made in the morning. It had been kept warm until now. It tasted fresh and stimulated his taste palate.

Luke smiled satisfyingly. His unhappiness had disappeared into thin air after he found out Luca was giving him the special treatment.

Pierre's villa.

Nina lay down on the bed, feeling weak. It was her second day on hunger strike...

She did not eat anything yesterday, nor did she drink anything. She was exhausted, and she was no longer able to walk. She had no choice but to lay down on the bed to reduce her physical activities.

She looked outside the window. The sky was bright again. It had been two nights, but no one came to save her. She could not even find a way to get herself out.

Nina was able to feel the despair Luca had experienced when Pierre held her hostage back then. She was impressed with Luca's courage too. After Luca went through something that was a hundred times worse than what she was going through now, Luca was still able to stay strong.

If it had been her who went through all those things, she might have already collapsed and broken down crying.

The bedroom door was pushed open and the maid came in. She noticed that Nina did not even touch the dinner she brought to her last night. She shook her head. “Ms. Nina, don't blame me for doing it the hard way if you insist on being so stubborn."

Nina gave the maid who threatened her a haughty look and said in a cold voice, "What can you do to me? Force me to eat? I'm telling you, if you dare to do so, I'll smash my head on the wall, or I'll shove my fingers down my throat to throw up the food. I'm pretty good at inducing vomiting."

The maid listened to Nina. She was still able to talk so much. Even though she was weak, at least her body condition was still good.

She replied, "I know it's impossible to force you to eat, but we have plenty of ways to do it. You're weak and skinny. Others might be able to survive for a few days, but you'll never make it past two days. So, don't blame me for being harsh to you if you still refuse to have breakfast."

Nina turned away, ignoring every word she said.

They could not do anything to her no matter how stubborn she was.

Pierre would have ordered it.

The maid was a little angry when Nina gave her the attitude. What an ungrateful woman. If it had not been Pierre who gave his orders, she would have already done it the hard way.

She put the breakfast down, then turned around and left.

Nina heard the sound of the bedroom door being closed. She could smell the fragrance of the food.

She stared blankly at the ceiling.

Perhaps, no one was coming to save her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1753-The female doctor replied, "She's asleep. Don't worry. We added a drug that puts her to sleep in the IV drip to prevent her from crying and causing us any trouble."

The maid nodded.

The female doctor looked at Nina's face and sighed quietly. "She's hardly considered a stunning beauty. Her figure is slim and looks good, but she's way too skinny in some parts. She's different from the other women Boss used to be with." novelbin

The two doctors were private doctors whom Pierre had hired. That was why they knew most of Pierre's ex-girlfriends.

The maid said, "As ordinary as she looks, this woman seems to be Boss' favorite. Now, stop talking nonsense. You'll probably get into trouble in the future if she can hear you. Judging from her situation now, she's going to submit to the boss sooner or later."

"She's asleep now. She can't hear any of this. Relax," said the female doctor. The IV drip had just finished. She pulled off the needle, pressed on the injection spot for a while, and let go of it. After confirming that the wound on Nina's hand was no longer bleeding, she brought the equipment with her and left the room. "Oh, if she refuses to eat again, we'll have to give her another shot at noontime tomorrow. The nutrition injection can only last 24 hours."

"Alright." The maid looked at Nina who was deeply asleep. Then, she walked out of the room and closed the door.

She took her phone out and reported to Pierre about what had happened.

It was already evening. After Luca completed her work, she gave Percy a call. She felt upset after knowing that his men were still looking for Nina, but they did not have a clue where she was.

She looked at her phone. The thought of using the resources from the Island of Despair came into her mind.

However, Abel was looking at her.

If Abel knew that Nina was one of her weaknesses too, Nina would probably be in danger if anything happened in the future. She dispelled the thought when she thought of this.

Knock, knock. Someone was knocking on her office door.

Luca lifted her head and saw Jason standing at her door. She stood up and asked, "Mr. Doyle, what's the matter?"

Jason replied, "Dr. Craw, isn't it time to get off work? Why are you still sitting here?" Luke was in a good mood today. He did not go too far when stating problems with the department managers' work during the meeting. Besides, everything was on schedule. That was why they could get a rare chance to get off work on time.

Luca glanced at the time. Indeed, it was time to get off work. She smiled and said, "I'm leaving later."

"Alright. Oh, I came to return your thermos flask," said Jason. He put down the thermos flask he was carrying in his hands.

Luca replied immediately, "There's no need to. You may take it. I won't be using it either."

Jason did not insist on returning the bottle. He smiled and left.

Luca stood up to clean up her table. She recalled that she had already moved out when she was about to leave.

Luke had yet to tell her the address...

Luca hesitated for a moment. She sent a message to Luke as she did not want to be homeless: [Mr.

Crawford, you haven't sent me the address.]

After a while, Luke sent her the location.

Luca looked at it and frowned. This area was a villa district, right?

Besides, it was a villa district located near the office.

Luke asked her to move out of the apartment and into a villa district?

Most of the villas there were occupied by people with families. Was it not too luxurious for her to stay there alone? Moreover, it was inappropriate.

Luca had a feeling that if outsiders were to learn about this, they would think that Luke was keeping her as his mistress.

This villa would seem like the place where he was hiding his mistress.

[Mr. Crawford, did you send me the wrong location?] Even though she knew Luke was unlikely to have sent the wrong location to her, she confirmed with him once again.

[No, I didn't. The moving company has moved your things into the house. The villa uses a digital door lock too. The passcode is the same as the one at the apartment.] Luke replied to her message soon after.

Luca looked at Luke's confirmation and shook her head. She punched out, hailed a cab, and headed to the new address.

Luca found the location of the villa based on the address given by Luke. She looked around the villa and realized that the privacy of the villa was pretty good. There was some distance between the villa in

front and behind it. There was another villa on the other side. Luca saw that the lights were lit in that villa, and there were noises of an electric drilling machine. Luca knew that the villa was under renovation.

The door opened after she keyed in the passcode.

Luca pushed the door open and walked into the villa. A spacious front yard came into sight. She looked at the design of the front yard. There was a pavilion, swing, and various kinds of vegetation that could withstand the cold. Even though the weather was getting cold, the vegetation was still green and alive.

She also noticed that there was a huge rose flower wall in front of her.

The front yard decorations suited her taste very much.

Luca walked down the front yard and into the living room. She saw that her boxes were left there. She headed to the kitchen first, then placed the antidote into the fridge's freezer compartment.

Then, she opened the boxes one by one. She found the master bedroom and study room. Then, she sorted out her things.

It was already dark outside when she finished settling down.

Luca sat on the sofa, reluctant to move around. After a while, the doorbell rang.

Was that Luke?

As she wondered, she saw that the person standing outside the door through the surveillance camera was not Luke. It was the delivery man. She went to open the door with some confusion.

"Hello Miss, this is the food that you ordered. Enjoy your meal." The delivery man handed the food to her as soon as he saw Luca open the door.

Luca was confused and asked, “I didn't order any food delivery. Did you send it to the wrong place?”

The delivery man glanced at the house number and confirmed with her. "Yes, I didn't send it to the wrong place. The address given on the food delivery app stated that it's here. May I know if you're Ms. Luca?"

"Yes." Luca nodded, but she emphasized again, "But I didn't order any food delivery."

"Sure enough, the food is yours. Perhaps it was your husband who ordered it for you? Besides, I needed the passcode to come in here. That's why I'm pretty sure I've gotten it right," the delivery man said.

Luca had no choice but to accept the takeout from him. Luke was the only one who knew she was staying here. She shot a glance at the information given on the receipt. The address given was indeed this house, and her name was on it. However, the phone number listed was Luke's.

"Yes, this is my takeout. Thank you." She thanked him.

The delivery man smiled and said, "It's alright. Enjoy your meal."

Luca watched the delivery man leave. She turned around and walked in. Then, she closed the door. Luke happened to order food takeout for her at this time. What perfect timing.

After she packed away everything, she no longer had the energy to prepare dinner for herself.

Luca could not help but wonder if he had installed surveillance cameras in the house. Otherwise, how did he time it out perfectly?

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1754-Luca placed the takeout on the dining table. This villa was big. It was much bigger compared to the bachelor's apartment.

She walked around the house, wondering if Luke had installed surveillance cameras in the house. However, she did not find any.

Even so, her not being able to find any did not mean that none were installed. Luca sat on the chair beside the dining table and looked at the takeout. She was lost in thoughts.

Her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw that there was a message from Luke.

Luca tapped on the screen. His voice came into his ears. “Have you received the takeout I ordered?"

The man's voice was deep and hoarse as though it was a ray of sunshine in the cold weather, slightly warming up her cold heart. Luca was startled. She picked up the phone and replied to him, "I got it. Thank you, Mr. Crawford."

[You're welcome. Eat it while it's warm.] Luke did not send an audio message this time. He replied with a text message instead.

Luca looked at those six simple words. Then, she opened the lids of the food containers. Luke had ordered all her favorite food...

She picked up the spoon and ate a mouthful. It tasted good.

Luca thought of cleaning up after dinner. However, she realized the whole villa had already been cleaned up. Hence, she walked into the study.

She was planning to continue her research since she was free tonight.

An hour later, Luca received Amur's call.

"Amur, why are you calling me at this hour?" Luca asked. She knew Amur was busy with his mission, so she tried her best not to disturb him.

Luca had no idea about how Amur's mission was going. She was worried about him.

Amur listened to Luca's voice and took a deep breath. He sounded excited. "Luca, I've accomplished my mission here."

"You've accomplished your mission?" Luca was surprised. She did not receive any news from him the entire time. What was his mission?

"Yes. I can return to A City to protect you tomorrow onward." Amur could not hide the excitement in his voice.

That was great. Finally, he was able to return here safely. Luca's voice became excited too. “What time will you be reaching A City tomorrow? Do you need me to pick you up?"

"No. I can go back myself. It'll be late. There's just one more thing I need to take care of first." Amur hung up the phone after that.

Luca had always seen Amur as her younger brother. He could come back safely now. After worrying about him for so long, Luca could now set her mind at rest.

She suddenly thought about whether Amur should stay in the apartment or the villa after he returned. This seemed to be difficult. novelbin

Although the people on the Island of Despair had killed people before, she refused to let Amur continue staying in the apartment. Besides, he might be against it too.

However, the villa...

This was Luke's villa. If he could ask her to move in, then he would be able to ask her to move out too.

Luca thought she would have to ask for Luke's permission if she wanted Amur to move in here. She pondered for a moment and opened her contacts on her phone.

She would not be able to explain it clearly through an audio message. She had no choice but to call Luke.

After the call was answered, Luca spoke in a gentle voice. "Mr. Crawford, are you busy?"

"Yes. It's late. What's the matter?" Luke was a little surprised that she would call him at this hour. It was because Luca could not wait to set boundaries between them. It was inappropriate for her to call him now.

"My younger brother is coming back tomorrow. I want to ask you whether he's allowed to stay in the villa with me." Luca asked. There were enough rooms in the villa. If Luke gave her permission, she would clean up a room after this.

"Younger brother?" Luke frowned.

"Yes. His name is Amur. We're not biologically related but I consider him my younger brother. You've met him before." Luca reminded him.

Luke remembered. Amur was that tall Russian man.

Amur was not Luca's younger brother, and he knew that well. He reckoned that Amur was related to the power that was manipulating Luca behind her.

However, if he was one of those who was manipulating her, why would Luca care about Amur?

Luke frowned at the thought of this.

He felt uncomfortable when he recalled how much Luca cared about Amur and the fact that they had been staying in an apartment together for quite some time.

"Mr. Crawford?" Luca called out to him when she did not hear any answer from him.

Luke snapped back to his senses. He said without a second thought, "I don't think it's convenient to do so."

"Ah." Luca did not expect Luke to disagree with it and use such an excuse too.

"Alright." She had no choice but to agree with it. After all, it was Luke's villa. It was no good for her to continue asking about it.

"Anything else?" Luke sounded a little annoyed as jealousy filled his heart.

Although Luca did not have romantic feelings for Amur, she actually asked him if she could stay with Amur. He was unhappy with it from the bottom of his heart.

"There's nothing else, Mr. Crawford. Sorry for disturbing you. I'm hanging up now." Even though Luca had considered the possibility of Luke rejecting her, she was still unable to understand why when she heard him saying no.

Why did he turn her down?

Luca glanced at the time. It was already 11 o'clock at night.

The villa had already been cleaned up. If Amur came to stay here tomorrow when he came back, there was no need for her to come back and forth. Besides, after everything that Amur had done for her, she felt the need to take care of him.

However, Luke had refused her request.

Luca kept the experiment instruments and went to her bedroom to change into casual clothes.

Luca still had to go to work tomorrow. She would not have time to return to the apartment to clean it up tomorrow. Hence, she planned to hail a ride now and tidy up the apartment as she thought it was still early.

It had been a long time since someone stayed in that apartment. Every piece of furniture in the apartment was covered with dust covers, but the place still needed a good cleaning up.

Amur was a casual person. It did not matter where he stayed. However, if she did not clean up the place, judging from Amur's personality, he would not clean it either. He would just settle down right away.

Luca brought her phone and the apartment's key with her before leaving the villa.

She walked out of the villa district, hailed a cab successfully, and headed to the apartment.

It had been quite some time since Luca came here. The security who was on shift was still able to recognize her. He let her enter the apartment without asking too many questions.

Luca frowned when she pushed the apartment door open.

It was just like what she expected. The apartment was still a little dirty after it had been empty for quite some time.

Luca took the dust covers off the furniture. Then, she took the cleaning tools out and started to clean.

It was already 12:30 a.m. after she finished cleaning up. She glanced at the lights outside the window. Most of the lights were turned off. She planned to stay here for the night. She would go to T

Corporation immediately tomorrow.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1755-The next day.

Luca opened her eyes. It was already a quarter past seven.

As it was about time to go to work, she headed to the master bedroom and took a set of office wear out. She did not move out everything when she moved out last time, and she kept some of her things here.

Although the clothes were thin as they were meant to wear during early autumn, she would still be able to make do. She checked the weather forecast, and it showed that it would not be too cold today.

After Luca washed herself up, her phone rang when she was about to leave.

She picked it up and glanced at it. It was Luke.

“Good morning, Mr. Crawford." She answered the call, sounding cautious and serious.

Luke was standing outside the villa. He pressed on the doorbell again. "Are you still in bed?"

"No, I'm awake. I'm about to go out and head to the office. Is there anything you need?" Luca thought he called her early in the morning to give her work to do.

Luke frowned. She was about to go out? Then why did no one answer the door when he had been ringing the doorbell for ten minutes?

"I'm outside the villa," said Luke.

Luca was stunned. She paused her gestures while she was changing her shoes. She glanced at the time and said, "Uh, I'm not in the villa."

"Where are you?" Luke asked. He had only asked her to move in yesterday but she was not here today?

"I'm at the apartment, my own apartment. My brother is coming back soon, so I came back here to clean it up," Luca explained.

"You slept in the apartment after you finished cleaning up?" Luke's brows furrowed together. It seemed that Luca was very concerned about this brother who had no blood ties with her.

The concern she had for Amur was how a sister treated her younger brother. However, Amur's feelings for Luca were not as simple.

When they met each other the last time, his instinct told him that Amur had feelings for Luca.

"Yes. It was too late, so I slept there. Don't worry. I'm heading to the office now. I won't be late." Luca promised him. She refused to think about the reason why Luke showed up in front of the villa.

She was still running away like an ostrich from Luke and his feelings for her.

Luca thought that he had made it clear by asking her to move out of the apartment. However, what he was doing now made her confused again.

What was Luke doing?

Why was he giving her the wrong impression that he cared about her?

Luke looked at the breakfast he was holding in his hand. He was worried that Luca did not have any ingredients to make breakfast after she moved in here. That was why he brought breakfast here.

However, he did not expect that she was not here at all.

Fortunately, he had taken into account the journey to the office and bought Western breakfast for her. It would not affect the taste even if the food went cold.

“I bought you breakfast. You don't have to buy anything on the way to the office." Luke hung up the phone after he said that.

He would not get angry if Luca cared so much about her younger brother who had blood ties with her.

After all, her family was important to her.

However, Amur was someone who had nothing to do with her. Besides, he was related to the organization that was behind Luca. Still, she cared so much about him!

Luke was unhappy. She was not even that straightforward with him. She had to give another man a share of soup when she prepared soup for him.

He got back into his car. Then, he recalled what he did to verify whether or not it was Luca who personally made the soup for him yesterday. He even called the maid who took care of her and asked if she had bought any ingredients to prepare the soup.

After the maid confirmed with him that Luca did not ask her to buy the ingredients to prepare the soup, he was sure that it was Luca who made the soup herself.

What a difficult woman.

She was straightforward to other men.

Luke felt unhappy at once. It seemed like she was not busy enough in T Corporation.

She still had the energy to clean up the apartment for another man. If that was the case, she should not blame him for doing this to her...

Luke was planning to bring the kids to the villa for them to stay together with Luca. Now, it seemed like he had to proceed with the plan earlier than scheduled.

That way, she would have to take care of the kids after work. There were three kids, so he would like to see if she had any extra energy to take care of another man!

At the thought of this, Luke picked up his phone. He called Mr. Griffin and gave him orders.

Then, he drove back to the T Corporation.

The villa was nearer to T Corporation. Naturally, Luke reached the office earlier than Luca.

He walked out of the elevator after he came to his floor. He was carrying the breakfast in his hands.

Luke entered Luca's office and placed the breakfast on Luca's desk. He was afraid that she might not see it, so he placed it in the middle of the table. Then, he headed to the pantry and prepare coffee for her.

Although she did not say anything about it, Luke knew that she must not have slept much last night.

Based on Luca's habit, she would usually go to sleep around 12. However, she called him at about 11:30 last night, asking whether her 'brother' was allowed to move in.

After he rejected her, she must have headed to the apartment to clean it up.

Luke felt even more upset at the thought of Luca staying up late cleaning the apartment for some other man. After he put the thermos flask filled with coffee on her table, he turned around and left the office.

Luca arrived at T Corporation. She walked into her office after she punched in. She saw the Western breakfast that Luke had bought for her.

There was a thermos flask on the table too...

She looked at the flask, and it seemed like the one she gave to him yesterday.

Luca blinked her eyes. She walked into the office and picked up the flask. It was heavy.

She opened the flask and looked at it. There was coffee in it.

The coffee was still warm.

Luca sniffed it. She could smell the rich aroma of the coffee. She looked at the breakfast on the table and wondered why Luke made her coffee.

Could it be that he knew she did not get enough sleep?

Luca felt uneasy when she thought of how considerate he was to her.

The more Luke treated her kindly, the more it proved that his feelings for her were different.

When Luca thought of the possibility of them breaking up in the future and how he might feel betrayed by her, she looked down. Then, she lifted her head to take a sip of the coffee.

It tasted bitter.

Milk was added to the coffee, but Luca still thought it tasted bitter. It was not the coffee, though. The bitterness came from her heart.

She closed the office door and sat on the chair. She opened the breakfast that Luke bought for her.

With just a glance, she knew he had bought it outside. It seemed like he did not work overtime in the office last night and had returned to Crawford Manor instead. That was why he could bring Western breakfast for her.

Allison had returned. There would be a storm in Crawford Manor. As for her the things happening on her side.

Luca was heartbroken with what Luke had to face. Perhaps he had no idea that she came back with a purpose this time.

The crisis that the Crawford family was facing was merely on the surface. The crisis that Luke had to face later would have something to do with her. It was lurking in the corner without being detected.

Luca wanted to remind Luke about it, but she realized that there was nothing she could do. She could not tell him anything.

After breakfast, she gulped down the last of her coffee. The bitterness filled her mouth, but she dared not to shed a tear.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1756-After breakfast, Luca sat in the office chair and started to work.

Tina came from time to time to hand her the documents to be translated. She said, "Dr. Craw, the documents to be translated are increasing. You have to pay attention to your time management. You can't delay your work from the lab or have any errors with your translation work."

Luca nodded. The drug research was about to end. If there were no issues during the final experiment, the product could be launched.

Therefore, she often went downstairs to preside over the experimental research.

However, the translation work was also very important. She had to take care of both ends, and her workload was more than that of other T Corporation employees.

"Thank you for your hard work. Do you want coffee?" Tina asked.

"No, thank you." Luca took a sip from her coffee cup and continued to work.

At noon, the phone rang. It was Amur who called.

Luca quickly answered and asked, "Amur, are you back?"

"Yes, I'm back. Are you at work now?" Amur asked. To come back sooner, he chose to travel by plane instead of the high-speed rail.

The few hours on the high-speed rail would make him a little bit impatient.

"Yeah, I'm still at work. By the way, I've already cleaned up the apartment. You can just move back in." Luca paused tapping on the keyboard. She thought of keeping him from knowing that she had moved out for the time being.

She was going to wait until they met for dinner at night.

"I came back by plane and I've put my things in the apartment. It's time for your lunch break. Can you come down for a meal?" Amur asked. novelbin

Luca was shocked. "Are you downstairs?"

"Mm. We haven't had a meal together for some time now," Amur said.

Luca glanced at the time. Even though the whole company was busy, there was still time for lunch. She saved the file she was working on and turned off the computer. "I'll come down now." "Okay." Amur waited on the ground floor of T Corporation and looked at the employees who came out for lunch.

His tall figure and handsome face attracted the attention of many female employees. He was even approached by one of them.

He was not interested in them. He kept looking in the direction of the entrance. He could not go in because he did not have an access card, so he could only wait there for Luca to come out.

Luca arrived downstairs and saw Amur standing at the entrance. She greeted him with a smile, "You're finally back!"

Amur stretched out his hand and saw that she just stood there without hugging him. He asked suspiciously, "Luca, I came back safely. Won't you give me a hug?"

Luca glanced back at the entrance and shook her head. "We're in A City now. It's not the norm for siblings to hug here."

She was worried that if she was overly enthusiastic, it would be seen by others and reach Luke's ears.

Luca was worried that he would misunderstand the situation.

Disappointment flashed in Amur's eyes. In the past, when they were on the Island of Despair, they loved each other like a family. Every time he returned from a mission, she would give him a big hug.

Luca noticed his silence, walked over, and patted his shoulder. "Do as the locals do. Come, I'll treat you to lunch."

"Okay." Amur forced a smile. Even if she did not say anything, he knew why she would not hug him.

In Luca's heart, he was just one of her younger brothers and would never be more important than that man.

Although he overcame all difficulties and completed the mission quickly so that he could return to be by her side and protect her, all Luca could think about was that man.

When Amur saw Luca was leaving, he followed behind.

Tina walked toward them, and her eyes lit up when she saw Amur. She smiled and greeted them, "Dr. Craw, are you going for lunch?"

"Yes." Luca nodded.

Tina looked at Amur curiously and asked, "Who is this?"

"Oh, this is my brother, Amur. Amur, this is my colleague, Tina." Luca introduced them.

"Hello," Amur greeted Tina out of a gentleman's instinct.

"Hello, hello." Tina smiled, her eyes could not hide the admiration she had for him. After all, he was a handsome guy. Who would not be interested?

"I didn't expect you to have such a handsome brother, Dr. Craw. I won't take more of your time. I'll head off now." Although she admired Amur, she did not say anything.

Luca watched Tina leave, turned her head, and said to Amur, "There's a nice restaurant nearby. Why don't we go there for lunch?"

"I'm happy to go along with whatever you pick." Amur had no objection. He liked to eat whatever she liked to eat.

Luca took Amur to a nearby restaurant and chose a corner spot. Since it was already halfway through the lunch break, there were not many people in the restaurant now.

After they placed their order, she checked in on him. "Did the mission go well?" "It went well. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to return so quickly." Amur nodded. He could only restrain himself when facing her.

Luca asked, "Are you injured?"

"It's inevitable to get injured during a mission. Isn't it normal to have a few bruises here and there?" Amur explained with a smile.

"Just a few bruises?" Luca's expression was serious. "Amur, you know I'm asking about the scars on your body."

Amur shook his head. He was unwilling to have her worry. "I've always been careful."

Luca knew what was going on when she saw how he reacted. She chose to not uncover his lie. She said, "No matter what, I'm glad that you're back. I don't know how many scars you have on your body, but at least you look normal. Amur, I've always thought of you as my younger brother. You have to make sure you take good care of your body, okay?"

Amur nodded. He remembered everything Luca said to him.

When the meal arrived, Luca said, "Let's eat quickly. I've been quite busy now, so I don't have much time to eat."

"Am I disturbing you?" Amur asked suddenly.

Luca paused, shook her head, and said, "I have to eat anyway. By the way, there's something I want to tell you. I don't live in the apartment anymore."

"Where do you live, then?" Amur asked. When he went back to the apartment today, he had found it odd as well. The place was empty and did not seem like anyone had lived there for a while.

Luca said, "I've moved into a villa. It's pretty great."

"I'll come to accompany you," Amur said without a second thought.

Luca shook her head and said, "It's inconvenient for you to do so."

"Why?" Amur wondered. They used to live together, so why was it inconvenient now?

"It's Abel's request. Also, the villa was arranged for me by Luke. He made it clear that he doesn't want other people to move in." Luca confessed. She did not want to hide these things from Amur.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1757-"He's living with you?" Amur frowned. He was uneasy at the thought of Luca and Luke being together again.

Luca was put in such a situation because of this man. If she got back with Luke, the catastrophe that would bring her was unimaginable.

"No, I'm living alone. I moved out of that place because Abel killed a security guard there. The place I'm living at now is great. It's close to the office, so it's convenient to travel to and fro from work." Luca was a little incoherent. She knew that he wanted to move in with her but she had to stop him.

It was just because of what Luke said.

Luca was relying on him and could not move out, so no matter what, she still had to listen to Luke.

Amur understood that she did not want him to move in purely because of that man. He gripped his fork tightly and said, "If you want your journey to the office to be more convenient, I'll rent an apartment near your office with you. Don't worry about the rent. I've saved up over the years."

Luca shook her head, took a sip of tea, and reminded him. "Amur, the one who asked me to approach Luke is Abel. You can't refuse Abel's orders..."

Amur fell silent when he heard that.

The matter did not just involve Luca and Luke. Abel was a factor as well.

He would kill Luke and run away with Luca if he could, but he could not betray Abel.

It was not that he was worried about facing death if he betrayed him and there was no antidote. He was thinking of his sister who was still on the Island of Despair.

He had three weaknesses—Eler, Luca, and little Nyla.

"It's his order..." Amur repeated what she said.

"It's all Abel's plan. You know what that man means to me. I don't want to hurt him if I can, but do I have a choice? I don't, and neither do you... “ Luca lowered her gaze and reminded him of the mess that they were in.

Their lives were not at the mercy of fate but were in Abel's hands.

This was the cruel truth.

Amur was silent for a while. Eventually, he said in a muffled voice, "I see." None of them could get rid of Abel.

"Amur, if you don't want to stay here, go back to the Island of Despair. Your last mission was a tough one. I think Abel gave you such a difficult mission to make things difficult for you... ." Luca muttered. It was time for Amur to go.

Amur shook his head, his gaze firm. "I can't go back. I can't leave you here alone. Don't worry, I won't cause you too much trouble. I'll be of help to you."

Luca sighed and suddenly thought of Nina.

Maybe Amur could be of help...

She stared at him, not knowing if he was injured from the mission. She was debating on whether it would be cruel to ask him to help her right after he finished a mission.

Amur could tell that she had something to say, so he got straight to the point. "Luca, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep it in your heart."

Seeing that, Luca said, "My good friend, Nina, was kidnapped by a fop named Pierre. Many people are looking for her but there's no news so far."

"Your good friend? Luca, you made a good friend here?" Amur asked. He did not care about the life and death of others. The only thing he cared about was the person in front of him.

"To be specific, she's a former friend. But I've become good friends with her again. Amur, I know it's not fair of me to ask you for help now, but the person who kidnapped Nina has also kidnapped me before. Saving Nina and confronting this man is the same thing," Luca said.

Amur looked nervous. When he was on a mission in B City, he did not pay much attention to the situation in A City. He did not even know that Luca was kidnapped. "You were kidnapped?!"

"That's in the past. Luke rescued me. The person who kidnapped me was Pierre, but he paid off someone, so he has been at large. I have to settle the score with him. Abel is also helping me on this but things have been a little slow on his side," Luca said.

She found out from the news that Abel had made a move. She did not know if the progress had stalled because Pierre was too vigilant or Abel was not satisfied with her progress.

Amur's expression darkened when he heard what she said. "If this kind of thing happens again, you must tell me as soon as possible. Send me the information of that person. I'll help you find her." Whoever dared to touch the person he loved would have bad luck coming their way!

Luca nodded and sent him Pierre's information and Nina's photo via text.

The way Percy and Luke were tracking down Nina was legal, but if Amur was involved, he would be able to get rid of the obstacles and find the place where Pierre was hiding Nina in a short time.

After they were done with the conversation, Amur glanced at his phone and reminded her, saying, "It's getting late. Hurry up and eat. The food will be cold if you don't eat now."

Luca nodded. She was relieved that he had promised to help find Nina.

On the other hand.

Jason knocked on the door of Luca's office with a takeaway box in his hand but there was no response.

He knocked again and called out, "Dr. Craw?"

Tina walked over, saw what Jason was doing, and told him, "Mr. Doyle, you don't need to knock anymore. Dr. Craw is eating with her younger brother downstairs."

"Her brother?" Jason's expression was blank. He was unaware that Luca had a younger brother.

"Yeah, she introduced her brother to me. He's handsome," Tina said, "If you were planning to give this to Dr. Craw, you can have it for yourself. I think that it won't be much longer until she returns to work." "Okay." Jason touched his nose and said nothing. He did not buy the takeaway for Luca. It was Luke who ordered it for Luca himself.

However, Luke was embarrassed to give it to her himself and asked Jason to deliver it instead.

Jason walked to Luke's office with the takeaway box and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Luke's voice came from inside.

Jason opened the door, walked in, and put the lunch box on his desk. "Boss, Dr. Craw isn't here."

"She's not here? She went out for lunch?" Luke frowned. He had heard from Jason that Luca was still working during the lunch break and did not go out to eat, so he deliberately ordered an extra set for her.

He ordered her favorite.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1758-"Brother?" Luke stopped working.

"Yes, I heard that it's a man with European features." Jason had not realized the problem and continued with his report.

Luke's mood sank. She told him the day before that Amur would be back and she ended up having a meal with him as soon as he returned...

'She's that excited? Doesn't she know that besides me, all other men are trash? How could she have dinner with that man...'

Jason noticed Luke's gloomy expression and realized that he was in trouble.

He hurriedly said, "Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading off to attend to some tasks."

"Wait a minute." Luke stopped Jason, who desperately wanted to leave.

"Boss, what can I do for you?" Jason turned around with a serious expression. He looked like he was ready to make a noble sacrifice.

"When Luca comes back, get her to come into my office," Luke ordered.

"Will do." Jason breathed a sigh of relief. He felt fortunate that Luke did not pick on him even though he was in a bad mood. He hurriedly left Luke's office seeing that all was well.

When Luca returned to the office after lunch, she noticed that Jason was standing in front of her office. He was even working on a document so that he could be productive while waiting.

"Mr. Doyle, why are you here?" She hurriedly stepped forward. She thought that it was likely Jason was waiting here for her because of work matters, hence she hurriedly opened the door.

"Dr. Craw, I'm here for you." Jason's words confirmed what she had in mind.

"I was downstairs for lunch. You could've just dropped me a text. Why are you standing here waiting for me?" Luca walked into the office. In T Corporation, Luke was the only one who could order Jason around.

As such, she was surprised to see him standing there just to wait for her.

"I want to stand after sitting for so long. It's nothing to worry about." Jason made up a random excuse.

Luca nodded and thought that it was weird even after he explained himself. "What can I help you with?"

"Yes, I almost forgot! The boss asked to see you. He said you should go to his office after you're done with lunch." Jason relayed Luke's words.

Luca stayed silent for a few seconds. She thought of all the possibilities of why Luke would ask to see her and asked, "Uh, did Mr. Crawford tell you the reason?" "He didn't tell me. Just a head's up, the boss is in a bad mood. Dr. Craw, good luck to you." After Jason finished his sentence, he walked back to his office.

Luke was in a bad mood, so he made Jason wait in front of her office so that he could notify Luca as soon as she came back.

Luca nodded, took a deep breath, walked to the front of the door of Luke's office, and knocked.

"Who is it?" Luke's voice came from inside. He did not allow her to enter directly. novelbin

"Mr. Crawford, it's Luca," Luca said.

"Come in," Luke ordered.

Luca opened the door and walked in. She saw the man sitting behind the desk doing his work with piles of papers on the desk. He looked busy.

"Mr. Crawford, I heard you're looking for me?" She walked in and asked, standing one meter away from the desk.

"Get off work on time today and go to the supermarket to get some groceries." Luke did not look up. He did not mention her meal with Amur either.

Although he knew that Amur was not her half-brother, to outsiders, they were siblings. Even if he was discontented, it was not his place to say anything.

He could not let Luca know that he already knew about everything.

"Okay." Luca subconsciously agreed. After she processed what he said, she asked awkwardly, "Mr. Crawford, what do you want me to do with the groceries?"

"The kids heard that you've moved and want to celebrate your move. Get some groceries after you get off work and make a meal for them when you get home. Alternatively, you can call the cleaning lady to buy them as well. She's helping out at the villa now," Luke said. He thought that she would need some help to cook for so many people.

"Okay." Luca agreed. She could not say no when it came to the kids.

Although she could not be there and take care of them all the time, she was willing to make their wishes come true when it was still within her ability to do so.

Luke was not surprised when he heard her response. After all, the kids were her everything. "That's it. You can get back to work." Although he was still unhappy, he asked her to leave.

'Amur wants to take up all her time outside of work as soon as he's back? No way!'

Every second of Luca's time should belong to him and their kids.

Luca heard him, left the office, and closed the door on her way out.

Luke looked at the closed office door, picked up his phone, and asked the butler, "How's the progress of what I told you to do?”

After a while, the butler replied, "Young Master Luke, the maid has packed up some daily necessities. Zander will send them over later."

Luke then put down his phone and went back to work.

Luca returned to the office, frowning. 'Why did the children suddenly make such a request?'

She thought about it for a while and still could not figure out why. She sent a list of ingredients to the cleaning lady and asked her to help buy them.

There were no ingredients in the villa as she had just moved in, not even basic seasonings. There would be a lot of things to prepare for the meal she would be cooking later today.

After Luca sent the cleaning lady the list of items, she continued to work.

When it was time to get off work, she did not want to work overtime and immediately packed up the documents to take them home. She planned to continue with work after the children left.

The most important thing to her at that moment was to prepare dinner for the children.

After Luca left the office, she went to the supermarket and bought some ingredients that were not on the list.

She left with a full bag.

At that time, the part-time cleaning lady and the maid of the Crawford family had already cleaned up everything in the villa. Luca walked in and saw the maid. She asked curiously, "Leane, why are you here?"

The maid, Leane, saw that Luca still remembered her and replied with a smile on her face, "Young Master Luke asked me to help you prepare dinner tonight."

Luca nodded. She thought that Luke was worried she would not be able to handle it on her own, so he let Leane come over...

"Sorry to bother you."

Leane took the bag from Luca's hand and said with a smile, "No trouble at all. I'm happy that I can learn from you while assisting you. Ms. Craw, Young Master always praises you for your cooking skills. He talks about it every day. The cook wishes to learn from you as well."

"Is that so? Maybe the dishes I make are more suitable to the children's tastes. There's nothing special about it." Luca smiled. 'Is it because of Tommy?'

"It's almost time, Ms. Craw. Let's cook?" Leane asked.

"Okay, I'll just go put my things down," Luca said and carried her briefcase up to the second floor.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1759-The master bedroom was near the stairs. Luca walked in, put down the briefcase, and came out again.

She noticed that something was off and turned her head, looking at the guest bedrooms.

Previously, she opened all the doors of the guest bedrooms for ventilation. However, all of the doors were closed now...

'Could it be that the cleaning lady and maid closed them after they were done cleaning up?'

Luca did not think much about it and did not bother to open the doors. She walked downstairs. She had to prepare dinner for three children and two adults, so there was a lot to do. If she started immediately, she could have some desserts ready for the kids when they arrived.

After she thought of that, she rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner with Leane.

Half an hour later, Luca's appetizers were ready and Zander arrived at the villa with the children.

Tommy walked into the villa and went straight to the kitchen, shouting, "Ms. Luca!"

Luca turned around and saw Tommy running toward her. She smiled, squatted down, and wrapped the child in her arms. "You're back from school?"

Tommy nodded, got close to her, and said, "Yeah, Ms. Luca. I missed you so much! Did you miss me?"

"Of course, I did! You're a handsome little boy. I think about you every day!" Luca touched Tommy's head. After a few days of not seeing him, she felt that the child had grown taller again.

Children nowadays grew up fast. A few days of not seeing them felt like years. In a blink of an eye, the children had grown taller.

"Since Ms. Luca missed me so much, I'll accompany you and stay with you every day from now on!" Tommy said, his eyes bright and full of joy. novelbin

Luca listened to the child's innocent words. She smiled and said nothing.

She also wanted to stay with the children every day. She would not feel tired no matter how long she had to take care of them.

However, the reality was cruel. She could not admit that she was their mother. As such, she could not live with them.

Luca stood up and said, "I made you some mini pre-dinner desserts. Do you want some?"

"Okay! Ms. Luca, you're the best!" Tommy clapped his hands.

Luca walked out with the mini desserts while Tommy followed her, pulling on her apron.

Luca greeted Lanie and Rainie, who were sitting obediently on the sofa. "Lanie, Rainie, come over for dessert."

When they heard her, Lanie and Rainie stood up together and walked toward the dining room.

Rainie's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the desserts on the table. Luca noticed it, smiled, and held up a mini dessert with the most cream. She handed it to Rainie, "Rainie, I know you like sweet foods. This one has the most cream. It's for you."

"Thank you, Ms. Luca. I do like sweet foods the most." Rainie took it, her eyes lighting up once more when she saw the delicate dessert.

Luca took two more for Lanie and Tommy. "This is for you, and you. I'll have to get back to the kitchen. By the way, you can run around but be careful so you won't fall."

She knew that the children were active, so she wanted to remind them.

"Ms. Luca, can I take it and eat it on the sofa?" Lanie asked cautiously. Although she knew this was their daddy's villa, their daddy now listened to their mommy, so he wanted to be sure.

Moreover, their mommy had disappeared for three years. Although Luca was kind to them, he was still careful. He did not want to make her angry by doing something wrong.

"Of course, you can. Just make sure you don't run around after eating." Luca urged them. She patted Rainie's head, thought about it, then touched Lanie's head. After that, she walked into the kitchen.

Lanie held the dessert in one hand and put his other hand on top of his head.

Their Mommy's hands were still so warm...

Luca walked into the kitchen. Leane said cheekily, "Ms. Craw, do the kids like your desserts?"

"It looks like they do. They each took one and are eating it now," Luca said. She walked to the preparation table and started to cut the meat.

"Young Master Lanie is not usually a fan of desserts. If he's eating it too, it means that they truly love the food you make. You have a special connection with them," Leane said. Whenever the cook in Crawford Manor prepared something sweet, Lanie would never eat it.

Luca was stunned that Lanie did not like desserts. He thought of how he had so much of the cupcakes she made before. Before she came into the kitchen, she also noticed that Lanie had already taken a small bite of the dessert she prepared.

She shook her head and continued cooking.

With Leane's help, after an hour, Luca turned all the ingredients into ordinary home-cooked dishes. Although they were home-cooked dishes, they were full of colors and flavors.

Luca sniffed it and was not sure when Luke would be back. Hence, she put all the dishes in the microwave. She planned to wait for Luke to come back before eating.

After a while, she heard the sound of a car.

Leane also heard it. "Young Master Luke is back."

Luca was surprised by what she said. Leane said that Young Master Luke was back, not that Young Master Luke had arrived.

It was as if Luke stayed here.

"Leane, please help me bring these dishes out," Luca said. The dishes were best served warm and would not taste as good when they were reheated. She did not expect him to arrive at the perfect time.

"Okay," Leane smiled and helped bring out the home-cooked dishes.

The kids were waiting for their father at the door. When they saw Luke coming back, they surrounded him and said, "Daddy, you're back!"

Rainie said first.

"Dad, Ms. Luca made a lot of delicious food and mini desserts. Let's eat?"

That was what the gluttonous Tommy said.

"Dad, Tommy has been good. Ms. Luca's delicious food filled his mouth so he wasn't naughty at all."

Lanie spoke too.

Luca listened to what the children said and frowned slightly. No matter who said what, it all sounded like they thought Luke stayed here...

Luke looked toward the dining room and happened to meet her gaze.

Luca quickly looked away and said, "The food is ready. Wash your hands and we can have dinner,"

"Yay! Ms. Luca is awesome! I can't wait to eat her delicious food!" Tommy was the happiest whenever it involved food. He was tired of eating the food prepared by Crawford Manor's cook and thought about eating Luca's cooking every day.

If Luke had not stopped him, he would have run over to Luca long ago.

Luca watched as Luke brought the kids to wash their hands. He seemed to be familiar with the layout of the house. It was normal considering that this was his villa.

She picked up the plates, plated everything, and asked Leane to stay for dinner. When she saw Luke come out with the children, she said, "Let's eat."

"Wow, how great this is!" Tommy's eyes lit up when he smelled the aroma of the food. He ran to the table and climbed onto the chair.

Luca handed him a bowl of soup and said, "It's still a little hot. Drink it slowly."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1760-"Ms. Luca, you don't have to worry about me. Daddy said I'm not a kid anymore, I'm a big boy, I can take care of myself." Tommy said while holding the spoon, he could not wait to take his first sip of the soup.

Luca looked at Tommy's greedy expression and shook her head helplessly. If she had not known that the Crawford family would never starve Tommy, she might have misunderstood the situation.

She put the rest of the soup away. Rainie walked over to the dining table and wanted to take a seat next to Luca but Lanie pulled her away.

She understood his actions instantly and chose another seat.

Lanie sat next to her.

Leane sat between Lanie and Tommy so she could take care of the children during the meal.

Luca looked at the remaining two seats. It was clear that they were left for her and Luke.

No matter where she sat, she would be next to Luke.

She had no choice but to choose a seat near Tommy. When Luke saw that, he sat beside her.

Tommy's round eyes were squinted from the wide smile on his face. The family looked so happy and comfortable.

After dinner, Luca wanted to clean up the dishes but Leane took over all the cleaning work. Seeing that, she and the children went to watch TV.

It was the weekend the next day, so the kids were not in a hurry to do their homework. They sat obediently on the sofa watching TV. Luke, who did not seem to have the intention of leaving soon, sat

down with the children.

Tommy sat next to Luca and waved to Luke, who was sitting on the single sofa. "Daddy, sit here."

Luke glanced at Luca and found that she was expressionless, hence he sat down next to Tommy.

Rainie was next to Luca. A sofa for four was just right for them. Lanie was sitting coolly on the sofa arm, watching TV.

She looked at the kids, then at Luke's side profile. The atmosphere was just right. It warmed her heart. How she wished that she was with them as Bianca.

She never thought that a peaceful and genial life would become such an ask...

Luca sighed to herself. She could not help but feel sad.

Leane put the cut fruit on the coffee table, looked at Luke, and said, "Young Master Luke, if all is well, I'll head off now."

“Mm," Luke nodded.

Leane left the villa soon after.

At that moment, they were the only ones left in the house...

Luca clenched her fists. ‘When will they leave? Is he planning to wait until the kids are done with watching cartoons?'

She glanced at the clock on the wall. There was still half an hour to nine o'clock. After nine o'clock, the episode would end and she assumed that Luke would leave with the kids.

Luca knew that Luke had been occupied with work, so he barely had any time to spend with the kids. As such, she did not want to say anything now that he was sitting here watching cartoons with them.

After all, children also needed the company of their fathers, especially if their mothers were 'absent'.

Tommy silently held Luca's hand and rested his head on hers.

Luca held onto Tommy silently.

Tommy thought of Luke's advice. As he watched the cartoon, he closed his eyes after a while.

He would not usually go to bed so early, but for the sake of staying with their Mommy, he had to fall asleep!

Luca noticed that the child's head was resting entirely on her. She looked down and said nothing.

Rainie noticed her brother and also remembered her father's advice. She followed suit and leaned on her brother while closing her eyes.

After the episode was over, two of the three children had fallen asleep.

Luke turned off the TV and looked at the kids. Luca also looked at them. She wondered why they fell asleep so early.

On normal days, they would not go to bed until after ten o'clock.

Lanie frowned and acted as though he was in pain. He said, "Daddy, my arm is numb from Rainie lying on me."

Luke heard him, walked over, and carried Rainie.

Luca also wanted to carry Tommy. Although she believed that she was strong enough to carry him even though he had grown up, she was afraid that she would not be gentle enough and would wake him.

"Why did they fall asleep so early?" Luca asked. She noticed that Luke still had no intentions of leaving. He was just carrying Rainie as he sat on the single sofa.

"They haven't had a good rest for the last couple of days," Luke said. "My mother was released from prison and the Crawford family is at war once again. Rainie has nightmares every day after seeing my mother. She hasn't been able to sleep well at night."

Luca looked at Tommy in her arms and felt sorry for the kids.

Rainie was easily frightened, while Tommy was still young. She looked at Lanie, and it seemed that he was affected too.

Lanie's heart softened when he saw that Luca was also looking at him. He was their big brother and could not show his vulnerable side, but there was no doubt that Allison's face haunted him too.

Luca said, "I see."

Lanie added, "In the last week, Rainie often woke up in the middle of the night after getting frightened by her nightmares. She wouldn't be able to fall back asleep. The teacher also said that she has been out of it in class recently. Daddy, why don't we sleep here tonight?"

"Okay," Luke agreed readily.

Luca was stunned that they made a decision just like that.

Although the villa was owned by Luke, she stayed her now. There were no extra daily necessities, so it was inconvenient for them to spend the night here.

Luke looked at her and said, "I'll carry Rainie up first."

"Carry her up? My room?" Luca asked in surprise. Yesterday, she had walked around the villa and knew that there were beds in the other bedrooms but there was no bedding. ‘Is he expecting the kids to sleep on the hard mattresses?'

"No." Luke stood up easily and was about to walk up with Rainie in his arms when he said, "I got the cleaning lady to prepare a few rooms."

Luca blinked but still did not grasp the situation. ‘What does he mean by he got the cleaning lady to prepare a few rooms?'

Luke walked upstairs with Rainie, while Lanie followed. After a while, Luke returned downstairs, walked up to her, and picked Tommy up.

Luca stood up and followed behind him.

She was worried that the children were not sound asleep and she would wake them up, so she lowered her voice to ask, "Mr. Crawford, what does this mean?" novelbin

"The kids and I may stay here more often moving forward," Luke told her as she would find out sooner or later.

She would not make a fuss since they were around the kids.

Luca stopped in surprise, watched him go upstairs, and quickly followed.

She watched Luke carry Tommy into the second bedroom next to the master bedroom. The bedrooms were all closed before and she thought that the cleaning lady had closed the doors to prevent dust from getting in. However, now it seemed that they were closed on purpose.

She did not do that to prevent dust from getting in but to keep her from finding out that the rooms had been set up.
