Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1841-Queenie let out a sigh. “Stop pushing yourself. It's my fault. Love can't be forced. Enoch, you just have to let it go."

Enoch smiled at her. Love could not be forced, but he had already fallen in love with Luca at first sight.

Enoch had been single for years. It was not because no one had ever introduced him to other women, but it was he who felt that those women were no match for him. That was why he had chosen to stay single.

That was all until he met Luca. Luca's appearance, aura, personality, and career were good enough for him. That was how he began to fall in love with her.

Enoch thought Luca would be satisfied with him, but he did not expect that Luca would show no interest in him.

He had been living a smooth sailing life, but he had encountered setbacks at that particular moment.

Enoch did not express his emotions in front of Queenie, but he was secretly holding a grudge against this matter.

On the other hand.

Luca hurried back to the office. She let out a sigh of relief after getting rid of Enoch.

When Luca was back in her office, she packed the things that would be needed for the meeting later.

Tina knocked on her door and walked in. She smiled and handed a thermos bottle to Luca. She said, "Dr. Craw, this is for you."

"What's this?" Luca put down her laptop and took the thermos bottle from Tina with a confused look on her face.

"I made this juice for you. I bought the fruits at the supermarket before I came to work this morning. They're all imported fruits, and the juice tastes good. It's my gift for you in return." Tina was not the kind of person who would take things for granted, and that was why she wanted to give something to Luca in return.

Tina knew Luca did not like drinking coffee, so she wanted to thank her by making her nutritious juice.

"Thank you. I'll drink it after the meeting." Luca readily accepted it. She picked up her laptop, then the folder that Jason had passed to her just now.

Tina knew Luca needed to attend the meeting, so she nodded. She did not have to attend the meeting this time. She said, "Then I'll leave you to it. See you later."

“See you later." Luca carried her laptop and walked out of her office.

Luca walked into the meeting room. Some of the senior managers were already sitting there waiting for the meeting to start.

Luca had attended a few meetings like these before. She was no longer feeling distraught. She was here to work, and that was why no peculiar eyes were falling on her anymore.

Luca sat down on the right side of the CEO's seat. She turned on her laptop, opened the document folder, and took the recording pen out of her pocket. She got ready to record the minutes.

After she got everything ready, Luke walked into the room with a stern look on his face.

Those who were in the meeting room got serious too when they saw Luke's expression. This impromptu meeting was not as simple as it seemed. Something must have happened. Otherwise, their

boss would not have that look on his face.

Jason distributed the documents one by one to every senior manager.

Luke sat on the CEO's seat and looked at every subordinate disdainfully.

No one even dared to breathe when Luke was watching them like that.

Luca sat beside him. She could feel the depressing atmosphere in the room. Deep down in her, she knew something must have happened. Otherwise, Luke would not have such an expression on his face.

Indeed, Luke spoke and said, "The European company has just added another new condition. The details are in the document. Please take a closer look at it."

The senior managers heard him and opened the documents in front of them immediately to read the specific requirements. The European company had made a big adjustment to the building materials, architecture design, and price.

Luca had received a copy of the document too. She lifted her head and glanced at Luke after she read it.

The architecture design in T Corporation's bid document was similar to the requirements of the European company. There was only a slight difference that did not meet the requirements. Hence, they only had to make some slight amendments to it.

As for the building materials, they could be adjusted and modified. There would be a change in the price of the bid document as the cost of materials increased.

These were not the real problem.

The biggest problem was—time.

The whole bid document had been completed, but the rest of the content would need to be amended if they made any changes to it now. Moreover, it was only less than two weeks until the bidding date.

It would be a fastidious job that required cooperation from every department to redraft a bid document within two weeks while translating the whole document at the same time.

If something went wrong, they would be late in submitting the bid document.

"Boss, we can't make it in time," said one of the senior managers.

Luke turned to look at him and said, "Our architecture design is similar to the requirements of the other party. We only have to amend some other parts and the building materials listed on the document. The other companies participating in the bid are also facing the same problem. The thought that they don't have enough time to amend their document didn't even occur to them, so why would we think so?"

The senior managers dared not to say another word when they heard that.

It was not that they could not make it in time, but if Luke decided to rush it, they would have to work day and night for the next two weeks.

They were worried they would burn out.

“Boss, since they're the ones who asked us to make the amendments, didn't they extend the time?" another senior manager asked.

Luke shook his head and replied, "The time hasn't changed."

"They're clearly making things difficult for us. Could it be that someone is pulling the strings behind the company?" Another senior manager was a little annoyed. The company did not ask for any other

requirements before this, yet now they were making demands. It seemed like someone in that company had already made a decision on which company to choose.

However, that person was worried that the competition would be fierce, so they came up with something like this.

The other companies were the ones who had to suffer.

"No matter what, I want to see a completed bid document submitted in two weeks," said Luke. He would never give up the bidding this time.

If he gave up like that, then everything they had done and the efforts his employees had put in before this would be all in vain.

As a business owner, he would not allow such a thing to happen.

The senior managers fell silent. After all, they had put in so much effort before. They had to make it work no matter what.

"Is there a problem?" Luke looked at them.

"No," the senior managers replied.

Luke nodded. Since they had no problem with it, then they should continue to study the contents of the document. At the same time, Luke would guide them further along the process.

In the first step, the design department had to take charge. Luke only ended the meeting after he suggested modifying the whole design.

After Luke left, Luca stood up and tidied up her documents.

Jason said, "Dr. Craw, your translation work will wrap up after the amendment this time. You can't handle this alone, so our Russian translator will come back to work together with you to reduce your burden here.

Luca nodded. Indeed, she had to wait until they had amended the whole bid document to start translating it. Hence, she would be the last one to finish everything.

Luca could not work with them during the preliminary stages, and she had to work alone. It was fine for her if enough time was given, but she would be buried with work if not enough time was given.

It would be best if someone could help her with it.

"Glad to hear someone will be helping me." She let out a sigh of relief.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1842-Jason nodded and walked out of the office.

When Jason reached the elevator, he realized Luke's elevator doors were still open. He walked toward it curiously. Then, Luke spoke and said, "Come in."

Jason nodded and entered the elevator.

The elevator doors closed slowly.

Jason lifted his head to look at the floor numbers that were constantly going up. Although he had been working with Luke for so many years, he would still feel a little pressured to be in the same elevator as him.

Luke was his boss, after all...

“Is there anything unusual with Luca lately?”

Jason was startled for a moment, then he felt guilty all of a sudden. Did Luke find out about it? No one was spreading the news that Luca had gone on a blind date, though. How did he know about it? Was it because of that bouquet?

“Boss, what do you mean by anything unusual?" Jason blinked his eyes.

"Is she keeping in touch with any other man?" Luke went straight to the point. He noticed Luca's phone had been constantly ringing recently. Endless message notifications and phone calls had come in last night. His instinct told him that the one looking for Luca was not a woman.

"I'm not so sure about that. Aren't you supposed to know that?" Jason decided to play dumb. After all, even if Luke found out about it, he could tell him that he had not seen anything.

Luke shot him a cold glance without saying anything.

Luke noticed that Luca had not been herself lately and that was why he intended to ask Jason. When Jason claimed that he had no idea about it, Luke replied, “I suspect Luca has been talking to someone else these days. Keep an eye on her for me."

Luca would only spend time in the office and her home. She had been living a simple life without going anywhere. If she was talking to someone else, then she must have met him in the office.

Hence, Luke had to make Jason his informer.

Jason let out a sigh in his heart. The whole company belonged to Luke, but he wanted him to keep an eye on Luca.

"Alright, Boss." There was no way Jason could reject Luke.

The elevator doors opened slowly, and Luke strode out of the elevator with his long legs. If Luke happened to find out which bastard was eyeing the woman he loved, he would crush him into pieces.

After the meeting ended, Luca returned to her office to continue with her work. Some parts of the bid document did not need to be redrafted, so she could still use the translated content.

When it was time to get off work, she packed her stuff and prepared to leave.

Before Luca reached the elevator, she received a message from Tommy.

The child was asking her if she would be getting off work on time today.

Luca smiled sweetly. The child had always been clingy. He would ask Luca if she was getting off work on time every day after he came back from school.

Even though Luca had used another identity to return to his side, he was still as needy as usual.

Luca replied to him: [I'm already getting off work. I'm on my way back home.]

After a while, Tommy replied: [Then I'll wait for you to come home.]

Luca smiled. She put her phone back into her pocket and waited for the elevator.

Tina came over and noticed that Luca was smiling. She asked in a gossipy manner, “Dr. Craw, look at how sweet your smile is. Are you going on a date?"

"No. I'm not seeing anyone." Luca shook her head, turned around, and glanced around her. Fortunately, no one else was there.

"Don't worry. Hardly anyone knows that you went on a blind date the last time." Tina gave her a mischievous smile. "You were smiling so sweetly that I thought you were going on a date with some guy."

"No, I'm not. I'm going home." Luca shook her head. "And I've already rejected that guy."

"Really?" Tina gave Luca a thumbs up when she heard that. "That's very decisive of you. If you don't like him, it's better to reject him quickly so that you can stop wasting each other's time."

"Yes. I rejected him in front of the matchmaker as well. I made myself very clear, so I feel so much more relieved now," said Luca. It was also considered an explanation for Tina. After all, Tina knew she had gone on a blind date.

"That's great." Tina agreed.

As the elevator reached the floor, the doors opened slowly. Luca and Tina entered the elevator together. After Tina pressed the button to go to the first floor, she asked, "Did you drive here?"

"I don't have a car," answered Luca.

Tina nodded and pressed the button to close the doors.

Luca asked, "Getting off so early today?"

"Yes. Something came up, so I informed Mr. Doyle that I'll be getting off work on time today. The others are still working in the secretary's office," replied Tina. The elevator went down all the way to the first floor without stopping on another floor.

Luca was secretly exclaiming. It seemed like the policy changes regarding the European project had caused everyone to work overtime. That was why only a few people were getting off work on time.

After they reached the first floor, both of them walked out of the elevator side by side. They were planning to take the same path as they were both hailing a ride home.

Luca noticed that Enoch was standing not far away when they walked out of the entrance. She paused and frowned.

Tina noticed Luca's gestures and asked, "What's wrong?"

“That man..." Luca looked at Enoch, who was not far away from her. He had already noticed Luca and was walking toward her.

"Don't tell me he's the one who went on a blind date with you?" Tina was a smart woman. She speculated that he was Luca's blind date when she saw such a scene and also Luca's reaction.

"That's him." Luca nodded as she watched Enoch walk toward her. Impatience had begun to surge in her heart again.

After sending flowers to her office, Enoch was now standing outside her office waiting for her.

Had she not made herself clear enough?!

Why did Enoch not seem to understand her intentions? He even came to her office to stop her at the entrance. If someone else saw this, they would certainly misunderstand.

"Didn't you clarify things? Why is he still here." Tina was startled. She planned to stay beside Luca.

Tina had met stalkers before. She knew how terrifying it could be. It was enough to frighten someone to death. She had to accompany Luca before this man went mad and hurt Luca.

"I did make things clear, but it looks like he didn't quite understand what I meant." Luca felt helpless as she watched Enoch walk toward her. Luca took a few steps back. She was secretly rejoicing that most of the employees were working overtime today. Otherwise, many would have witnessed such a scene.

"Luca, you're off work." Enoch walked toward her, glanced at Tina, and looked at Luca again. He smiled brightly at her.

Luca frowned. If it were not because the person in front of her was associated with Jack, she would have greeted him with a punch.

After all, when someone could not understand what she meant, punching them would make them realize it quicker.

"Mr. Campbell, what's the matter?" Luca's tone was cold and distant.

"I came to pick you up from work," answered Enoch.

"Mr. Campbell, I think you must've understood what I said today. Things will never work out between us. Please leave." Luca took a deep breath, trying to watch her manners.

What was so great about her? How dare Enoch hound her here?

"I know you don't like me, but everyone has the right to pursue someone. You don't like me, but that doesn't stop me from liking you." Enoch insisted.

Tina was suppressing the urge to scold him when she heard what he said.

Was there something wrong with his brain?

"You're already affecting my daily life!" Luca gave Enoch a stern look. She was not joking.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1843-"I'm just here to pick you up from work. You didn't drive to work, right? Well, I drove today. The weather is cold, and you'll be freezing if you wish to hail a ride by the roadside. Isn't it good if I can offer you a ride?” Enoch said. A lot of women wanted a man to be thoughtful and care for them. That was why Enoch came here just to wait for her. After all, government staff got off work earlier than employees in the private sector. He had plenty of time to come here and wait for Luca.

Luca took another step back. She would have informed the security guards without hesitation if it would not alert everyone in the office. “Mr. Campbell, please understand that I'm not going to change my mind no matter what you do. So, please leave.”

Enoch's heart sank, and anger was bottled up inside him, but he did not let it out. "Luca, I like you. Can't you give me a chance? Look at me. I own a car and a house. I'm not that bad..."

Tina, who was standing beside Luca, could no longer stand it. She rolled her sleeves and scolded Enoch, "Hey mister! Is your brain still working? Didn't you hear her say that she has already rejected you and she's tired of you bothering her? Why are you still waiting here? She doesn't even want to be friends with you. You'd better give up instead of waiting for her here. You're not going to gain her favor by doing this. It'll only make her hate you more. And do you think every woman you meet is a gold digger? Do you think she'll throw herself in your arms when you're only driving an Audi? I'm sorry, but it's not like Dr. Craw can't afford those cars. She's only furthering her career here for now. Things might change in the future, and that's why she didn't get a car. So, you'd better drive your car away and get the hell out of here."

Enoch did not expect that Luca would despise him for doing this. He also did not expect to get scolded by the woman beside her.

He drove here to pick Luca up to show her how capable he was. He owned a car, and it was a better model than the ones driven by typical white-collared workers.

However, Enoch did not expect that they did not give a damn about his car.

The man's pride had shattered in front of these women. Enoch glanced at Luca, and the look in his eyes had changed.

Tina also noticed the changes in his eyes. She shivered and turned to look at Luca.

Luca seemed calm.

"Mr. Campbell, please stop bothering me once you leave." Luca grabbed Tina's hand and left after she said that.

The two of them walked to the spot nearby where they could hail cabs.

Tina glanced in the direction of the office. Enoch had already left. She exclaimed, “The look in the man's eyes just now was so scary. It was as though he wanted to eat you up after being rejected again."

Luca nodded. The look in Enoch's eyes just now was indeed something else. However, he was merely a civil servant. What could he do to her?

Luca was sure that after she made it clear by rejecting him and coupled with the harsh words that Tina had said to him, Enoch would not want to have anything to do with her anymore. She took her phone out, thinking of deleting Enoch's contact number.

She unlocked her phone and realized Enoch had sent a few messages to her.

Luca felt annoyed receiving so many messages from Enoch last night, so she had already muted his messages. She noticed that there were more than ten messages left unread. Each of them was in short paragraphs.

Luca could not be bothered to read them. She blocked him and deleted his contact number.

Luca was worried Enoch would still come looking for her. She refused to give him any chances, so she blocked Enoch's phone number and deleted it.

Tina looked at her. She also noticed that Luca's chatbox with Enoch was full of messages. She exclaimed, "This kind of man must think that he's so successful just because he owns a car and a house. He thinks that the woman he's interested in will definitely fall for him, huh? That's why he's so scary."

"You're right," Luca replied. Actually, she had no idea why Enoch would do that.

She was not very outstanding either.

"You made it very clear when you rejected him, but his ego tells him that he shouldn't be rejected. He thought it was perhaps you hadn't seen his financial situation and that's why he pulled a stunt like this. I wonder where he got his confidence from? His looks? He's not even as good-looking as our boss—not even a third," Tina muttered to herself as she compared Enoch to Luke. It was a sure defeat for Enoch.

“You're comparing him to Mr. Crawford?" Luca pulled a wry face.

"Why not? They're both men, so what's wrong with comparing him to Luke? I think my aesthetic standards have increased after working long enough with Mr. Crawford. That's probably why I'm still single now. I think my boss is partly responsible for that. Facing a handsome boss every day has constantly increased my aesthetic standards. I'm no longer interested in ordinary men." Tina grabbed Luca's arm passionately, and she could not help but talk to her about these things.

Luca shook her head, smiled, and said, "Then should Mr.Crawford take responsibility for you?"

"Oh no. Boss' level is much too high. There's no way he can be responsible for me. I'd be thankful If he's able to introduce a handsome man to me." Tina shook her head immediately and cracked a joke.

"I'm afraid that you might not be interested in him," said Luca.

"You have no clue about this. Dr. Craw, think about it. Birds of a feather flock together. If Mr. Crawford introduces a handsome man to me, that person must be a successful business elite too. Although he might not be as good as Mr. Crawford, he's definitely capable. This type of man might be able to catch my attention," said Tina. Previously, Tina had been to many cocktail parties with Luke. She met many successful middle-aged businessmen at the party. However, there were also many new, young entrepreneurs.

However, Tina was just a secretary. It would be better for her to not get to know them.

Luca listened to Tina, and she could not help but agree with her. She reminded Tina when she saw an empty cab heading toward them from afar. "There's the cab."

Tina let go of Luca's arm and said, “Dr. Craw, you should go first."

“I think you should go first. Didn't you tell me you have something to do?" Luca wanted Tina to take the cab first.

“I'm not in a rush. You should take the cab first. Even though that guy has left, we can't really be sure. He might come back. It's not safe for you to wait alone here. So, just get in the car." Tina helped her hail the cab.

Luca remembered that the three children were still waiting for her at the mansion. Besides, Luke would definitely work overtime today as he was currently involved in the architecture design part of the

project. Hence, if Luca went home late, the three children would be waiting at home without any family members with them.

Hence, Luca got into the car.

Tina helped her to close the car door and waved at her.

After Luca told the driver the address, the cab drove away.

Enoch, who had yet to leave, was hiding at the corner of the street. He went back into his car in a hurry when he saw Luca getting into the cab. Then, he followed the cab she was in.

He was even more unconvinced after being humiliated by two women. He was looking for a chance.

Luca rejected him? Well, then he insisted on pursuing her.

He was good enough, so there was no way he could not win a woman's heart!

He had to figure out where Luca was staying now so that he could take action.

Tina was waiting for other cabs by the roadside. An Audi drove past her. She frowned and muttered to herself, “That car... Could it be the man from just now?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1844-Enoch drove all the way while following behind the cab Luca was in.

Then, he reached the entrance of the villa district. He stopped the car beside the road and watched Luca get out of the car before walking into the villa district.

"She's staying in a villa district?" Enoch glanced at the houses in front of him. The prices of such villa districts had surpassed the average real estate prices in A City over the recent years. It was even about to exceed the land price of the mansions built by those wealthy people back then.

Those who could stay here were mostly successful entrepreneurs and A-list celebrities.

“Is Luca that rich?” Enoch furrowed his brows suspiciously, refusing to believe that.

Although Luca had a decent job and she came back from abroad, only a few could afford to stay in these mansions...

Enoch picked up his phone and saved the video he recorded. Then, he asked a friend who was working in the housing and urban development field out for dinner before leaving.

Luca did not know Enoch had followed her all the way here. She had been busy handling her work when she was in the cab and did not pay attention to what was going on on the road. When she reached the villa, she greeted the children and headed to the kitchen where she began to make dinner.

Luke had not come back even after dinner was ready.

She knew Luke would come back late tonight. Maybe he would even sleep in the office. In the past, she would definitely deliver a warm dinner to the office for Luke. However, she had no status now. That was why she just kept some food for Luke. After she kept the food warm, she ate dinner with the children.

After dinner, the children took turns letting her check their homework. Then, Luca imitated Luke's signature to sign their exercise books.

Lanie noticed that Luca had signed using Luke's signature and asked, "Ms. Luca, why are you using Daddy's signature?"

"It's because your teacher will ask who I am if I sign my name on it. If you try to explain things to your teacher, they probably won't believe it. Since it's troublesome, I'd rather sign your Daddy's name on it," explained Luca. After she signed Lanie's exercise book, she picked up Rainie's book to sign Luke's signature on it as well.

Lanie looked at the signature on his book and exclaimed, "Ms. Luca, the signature you signed is almost the same as Daddy's signature. That's impressive."

Luca smiled. She had picked up the skill when she was on the Island of Despair.

When she was trained on the Island Of Despair, they would arrange various courses for her. It was to make sure that she could master a wide range of skills so that she could carry out her missions easily.

Skills like forging a signature would sometimes come in handy when she was carrying out missions.

After undergoing training for so long, Luca never expected that the first time she would be using this skill was to sign her children's homework.

She would not have signed the children's homework on behalf of Luke if it was not because he might not be coming back tonight.

"They're really alike. I used to have a hobby. I loved to copy others' handwriting. The more I practiced, the better I got at it. It's just like with Mr. Crawford's handwriting. I often see his signature on

documents, so that's why I know how to copy his signature too," explained Luca. After signing Rainie's exercise book, she picked up Tommy's.

Tommy's homework was not as good as his elder brother's and sister's. He could not calm himself down to focus on his homework because of his personality. Hence, Luca checked Tommy's homework again. After making sure there was no problem with it, she signed Luke's name on it.

After completing everything, Luca stood up and said, "Alright. You've done your homework. You can go ahead and watch your cartoons or do anything else you want."

"Ms. Luca, what are you going to do?" Tommy asked.

"Me? I have to work." Luca stroked the child's head and added, "I'm sorry. I've been busy with work lately, so I can't keep you company."

"It's alright, Ms. Luca. Go on, then," Rainie replied thoughtfully. The children felt satisfied as long as their mother was willing to stay with them. It was enough if they could see her and have dinner with her every day.

Meanwhile, Tommy said, "Ms. Luca, you're too busy. Look what Daddy has done, giving you so much work. You should ask him to reduce your workload. That way, you can have more time to rest."

Luca smiled and stroked Tommy's head. She said, "Everyone in the office is busy now. I can't just sit there and do nothing. Alright, I'm going upstairs to work now. Come upstairs to look for me if you need something, okay?"

"Okay," the three kids replied in unison.

After Luca went upstairs, Rainie looked around her. The maid was busy cleaning up the kitchen. Rainie said to her elder brother in a low voice, "Lanie, Ms. Luca is lying. She didn't know how to copy others'

handwriting back then."

"She's maturing. She now knows how to do things she didn't know how to previously," replied Lanie. Even though Luca did not tell Luke what she had gone through, he was sensitive enough to sense that their mother had gone through a tough time in the past few years.

Rainie nodded her head. Her father told her before that adversity led to growth. Their mother must have suffered all these years...

It was 11 o'clock at night,

Luca silently walked out of her bedroom. She headed to the living room on the second floor and opened the balcony door.

A gust of cold wind blew into the room. She could not help but shiver for a while. The temperature had plunged tonight, and it was much colder.

Luca walked to the balcony and looked at the parking lot downstairs. Luke's car was not there, which meant that he was still in the office.

She pulled her jacket closer around her body as she trotted back to the living room and closed the door. It felt much warmer now. Then, she recalled the night Luke gave her his coat. She wanted to do the same as well.

However, she had no status to do so, and she could not leave now.

The maid had already gotten off work. Although the kids had gone to bed, it was dangerous to leave them at home alone.

The temperature had dropped. She wondered if the children's blankets were enough to keep them warm.

As Luca thought of this, she walked toward Tommy's bedroom and gently pushed the door open.

The child was lying on the bed, deeply asleep.

Luca walked toward Tommy and saw that he was nicely tucked in. She smiled. The child used to kick the blanket off him. He had grown up now, and he no longer made a fuss in his sleep. She touched the child's forehead. It felt a little cold. She took another blanket out of the cabinet and draped it over him.

Then, she left without making a sound.

After that, Luca headed to Rainie's room. Little girls were weaker against the cold compared to boys. Hence, she took another blanket to cover it on her as well. She helped to tuck the blanket under Rainie's arms. When she was about to leave, she heard Rainie talking in her dream.

“Mommy—"

Luca was startled for a moment and turned around to look at Rainie.

Rainie's eyes were not opened; they were still closed.

It seemed like she was talking in her sleep...

Luca let out a sigh. When the kids were sleeping, they were dreaming about their mother. She was their mother and standing in front of them now, but she could not acknowledge them.

Luca massaged the dull pain in her forehead. The more she thought about it, it was not only her head that ached but her heart too.

Luca was not beside them when they were young. She thought they could live a happy life together with them after acknowledging them, but now..

Luca closed the door gently and walked toward Lanie's bedroom. She added another blanket to keep him warm too.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1845-After she did everything, she went back to her bedroom to rest. However, she heard the noises of a car driving in and the engine turning off.

Luke had come back...

Luca made her way down the steps. When she stepped on the curtail step, she happened to see Luke walking into the house. He looked cold as he closed the door.

Luke frowned when he saw her and asked, "It's late. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

“I was going to sleep, but I heard the sound of your car..." Luca looked at Luke's face. He still looked energetic, but she had no idea if he had his dinner already.

She asked, "Mr. Crawford, I saved some broccoli chicken casserole for you. Do you want some?"

Luke did not have his dinner, but it was well past dinner time. He was not feeling hungry either. However, when Luke heard Luca asking him that, he asked her, "You made it?"

"Yes. It only takes five minutes to reheat, then you can have it," said Luca, remembering that Luke had a weak stomach.

"Alright. I'll have it," replied Luke.

Luca heard him and trotted to the kitchen, taking the broccoli chicken casserole out.

Even though she had tried to keep it warm, the food still turned cold as it had been a few hours.

Luca placed the food in the oven and set the timer. She thought that Luke was probably starving, but she did not prepare any soup today. Hence, she got him a glass of warm milk.

Luca held the glass of milk, headed to the dining room, and put it on the dining table. "Mr. Crawford, I didn't make any soup today. You can have some warm milk first."

Luke sat on the chair and took the glass of milk that Luca had prepared for him. He took one sip after another, enjoying the taste of the milk.

It was only a glass of ordinary milk, yet Luke was drinking it as though he was drinking wine or coffee. Luca's face reddened as she watched him.

She had always been secretly obsessed with Luke's elegance.

When Luca heard the oven's timer ringing, she strolled to the kitchen immediately to get the heated food out of the oven. "Mr. Crawford, is it enough? I can make a grilled cheese sandwich if it's not enough for you to eat."

"It's enough," answered Luke. He knew Luca was worried that he had been starving the whole night and this might not be enough for him to fill his stomach. That was why she asked him. However, he was no longer as hungry now even after going without food for so long.

Still, when he smelled the fragrance of the food, Luke felt hungry at once...

As Luca watched Luke quickly finish the food on the dining table, she let out a sigh. Luke had indeed starved the whole night.

She felt embarrassed just watching him, so she said, "Mr. Crawford, just leave the plate here after you finish the food. The maid will clean it up tomorrow morning. I'm going upstairs first."

"Sure." Luke nodded. The food Luca prepared could really whet his appetite. He was not hungry at first, but he just wanted to devour everything on the plate now.

Luca returned to her bedroom and closed the door. She recalled the scene of Luke eating his dinner. Although he was still graceful, it could be considered as him gobbling up the food.

It must have been really hard for Luke.

For the sake of his children and the Crawford family.

Luca sat on the bed and pondered for a while. She turned off the lights when she heard the sound of someone climbing up the stairs. Then, she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.

She seldom relied on sleeping pills to sleep ever since she moved in here.

Even though Luke and her three kids were not beside her, she unknowingly felt at ease. She could sleep well even without taking the pills.

Luke stood outside Luca's bedroom door for quite some time. Then, he went to the kids' rooms to check on them. He only returned to his bedroom after that.

He had been guiding the employees in the design department to amend the parts that did not meet the document's requirements the whole night. He would probably sleep in the office if it was not because he was worried about Luca and the kids. There were so many other things to do at the moment.

After he made time for Luca and the kids, he returned to his bedroom, turned on the laptop, and continued to work.

The next day at noon. novelbin

Luca received another call from Queenie again. Queenie invited her to have lunch together downstairs. Luca felt a little unpleasant at the thought of what had happened yesterday. She planned to turn Queenie down. "Mrs. Norman, I'm sorry. I'm quite busy today—"

"Luca, I know you don't like Enoch. Don't worry. I'll be meeting you alone today. And I won't be speaking on behalf of anyone either. I just wanted to apologize to you," explained Queenie.

Apologize.

Luca let out a sigh in her heart. How could she let her mother apologize to her?

Besides, Queenie probably did not think that she would be so against Enoch either.

"It's alright. Mrs. Norman, how about this? Do you mind waiting for ten minutes? I'll go downstairs as soon as I finish my work." Luca was afraid that Queenie would continue to talk about Enoch. That was why she did not want to see her.

However, since Queenie said she would not mention Enoch, then it was alright for them to meet. After all, Queenie was her mother.

"Alright. I'll wait for you." Queenie sounded relieved.

Luca translated the last paragraph, saved the document, and left the office.

She ran into Luke when she walked out of the office.

"You're going out for lunch?" Luke asked.

"Yes, Mr. Crawford." Luca noticed that Luke was holding a document in his hands. She reckoned that he had just come up from downstairs.

When she came to work today, she heard the news that Luke had personally guided everyone in the design department to amend the design draft last night.

Luke was indeed talented at architectural design...

However, Luke was leading a team alone, and he would be the one to complete the important steps.

From the looks of it, he did not seem like the boss but the director of the department.

"Care to join me?" Luke invited her. Things were going smoother than he expected, so that was why he could make time to have lunch with Luca.

"Uh, Mr. Crawford, I have a lunch date. I don't think it's convenient." Luca politely declined him.

"Who are you going for lunch with?" Luke heard her and began to tense up. Could it be that she was going to have lunch with the man who had caused her to act strangely recently?

"Mrs. Norman." Luca did not want Luke to misunderstand her. She answered honestly, "She's waiting for me downstairs."

Luke felt relieved when he heard it was a woman who was going to have lunch with her. It was even his mother-in-law. He nodded and said. "Go ahead, then."

"What about you.."

"Mr. Doyle will order takeout for me." After that, Luke strolled back into his office.

Luca watched him from behind. Before she had a chance to think, she hurried downstairs to meet Queenie.

Luca came to the restaurant Queenie told her and found her there. She sat opposite Queenie.

Queenie did not lie to her. Enoch was not here this time. Of course, there was no other man too. It seemed like this was not a blind date.

"Luca, you must be busy." Queenie saw that Luca was slightly gasping for air and thought that she must have hurried here.

"It's still manageable. It's just that there were some changes in the company's project, so there's more work to do now," replied Luca. Queenie was Luke's mother-in-law, so it was fine to tell her about it.

"Oh, I'm always asking you out for lunch. Am I disturbing you?" Queenie was worried that her behavior would affect Luca.

Luca smiled and shook her head. "It's alright, Mrs. Norman. Besides, it's lunch break now. Mr. Crawford won't be bothered as long as we do our jobs well."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1846-When she listened to Luca's thoughtful words, Queenie was reminded of Bianca.

If her daughter was as thoughtful as the person in front of her, she would not have to worry that much.

Queenie looked at Luca's gentle face. Queenie always had this familiar feeling and unknown intimacy for Luca.

Queenie's eyes welled up a little while staring at her. She suddenly had inexplicable mixed feelings surging within her. “Luca, I'm sorry for what happened this time."

“Mrs. Norman, you didn't do anything wrong. Why are you apologizing?" Luca shook her head. She smiled at her to calm Queenie down.

Queenie was her biological mother. She would not blame her no matter what she did. Besides, Queenie had her own reason for what had happened this time.

She could not blame Queenie and Jack for what had happened.

"No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have introduced someone to you before getting to know him better. Enoch must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?" Queenie reflected on everything that had happened after she went home last night. She felt that it had been wrong of her to introduce Enoch to Luca.

Moreover, Enoch seemed to have caused Luca a lot of trouble.

"No. It's just because it's not the right time for me to get into a relationship now. That's why I was so annoyed." Luca shook her head. She should not blame Queenie for this.

Although Enoch was a little annoying, he was just an ordinary man who was pursuing a woman. He did things that a man would typically do to win a woman's heart.

Her impatience was not because Enoch had been bothering her.

It was because she was worried that Luke would find out that she went on a blind date with Enoch. She did not want to have to explain things to him, and she did not want him to misunderstand her.

After all, her mood swings came from her fear of being discovered by Luke.

"That's very kind of you. But is there such a thing as a perfect match? When I remember first meeting Jack in the past, I didn't think that we were a good match either. But I still ended up with the person I didn't think would match me well. I never thought I would end up marrying him either." Queenie held her cup with both hands while telling Luca about her past.

This was the first time Luca heard about Queenie and Jack's love story. It caught Luca's interest. "What happened next?"

"Oh, just the normal stuff. He asked me out a few times, and I was attracted to the way he talked about politics and creating a better future. That's quite magical, right? After that, we got into a relationship and we got married. Then, we had children. Everything happened just like how it would with any other couple, but it's also somewhat different." Queenie took a trip down her memory lane. Her 30 years of marriage with Jack were plain yet heart-warming.

The corner of Luca's lips curled and turned into a smile. “In the end, whatever will be, will be. Let nature take its course.”

"Yes. Let nature take its course when it comes to things like getting married and having kids. So, Luca, stop wondering whether a man is a good match for you or not. You'll find someone." Queenie patted the back of Luca's hand.

It was true that Queenie was anxious to arrange blind dates for Luca. However, she was only forced to do so as she did not want anything to happen between Luca and Luke. That was why she made such

arrangements.

She also wanted Luca to be happy.

"Yes, that's how it works. I guess it's better to go with the flow when it comes to relationships and marriage." Luca understood what Queenie meant.

Queenie was wondering if she should introduce some other men to her.

However, Enoch had caused enough trouble for Luca. Luca probably did not want to get involved with another blind date and get herself into more trouble.

Queenie understood Luca's thoughts.

She could not force Luca to go on a blind date if she was reluctant to do so. After all, she did not want Luca to hate her.

Besides, judging from Luca's situation now, Queenie would not be able to arrange a blind date for Luca just to stop her from getting into a relationship with Luke.

Queenie nodded and smiled. "You're a smart woman who has your own plans. If you're not in a hurry, then I can't say anything more about your love life either. Come on, let's eat. Otherwise, the food won't taste good when it gets cold."

Luca knew that after Queenie said that to her, she would not force her to go on anymore blind dates. She no longer had to worry about that.

After lunch, Luca wanted to head back to her office to work.

Queenie did not make her stay as she knew Luca was busy. She let out a sigh as she watched Luca leave from behind.

When she was about to leave the restaurant after paying for lunch, she received a call from Enoch.

Queenie was reluctant to answer the call when she saw who it was, but she had to answer it.

"Hello, Enoch. What's the matter?" Queenie answered the call as she walked out of the restaurant.

Enoch heard the noises from the other end of the phone and asked, "Mrs. Norman, are you free now? There's something I'd like to tell you."

Queenie got back into the car and signaled the driver to start driving. "What's wrong? Tell me about it." novelbin

"I think it'd be better for me to talk to you in person." Enoch told Queenie that he wanted to see her.

Queenie was in a dilemma and said, "Aren't you working now? It'll be the same if you tell me over the phone."

Enoch insisted on seeing Queenie, so he had asked for a leave from his superior this morning. He explained, "Mrs. Norman, I've already taken the day off. It'll only take a few minutes for me to speak to you about this."

Queenie helplessly let out a sigh when Enoch insisted on seeing her. She said, “Fine. Where are you now? I'll meet you there.”

Enoch was thinking of personally visiting her to show his sincerity. He did not expect Queenie to offer to look for him. Therefore, he mentioned a coffee shop nearby.

Queenie recalled that the coffee shop was not very far from her, so she said, “I happen to be nearby there. I'm going there now. See you in ten minutes.”

"Alright, Mrs. Norman. I'll be waiting for you here." Enoch trotted to the coffee shop. There were certain things he needed to tell her in person so that she would know the gravity of the matter.

Queenie walked into the coffee shop after she arrived. It was a weekday and was still working hours now. Hence, there was barely anyone in the coffee shop.

She found Enoch sitting at the corner of the coffee shop with one glance. She walked toward him and sat down.

Enoch handed her the menu immediately. “Mrs. Norman, you're here. Is there anything you'd like to drink?"

Queenie shook her head. Even though she knew Enoch came looking for her because of Luca, she did not really agree with him pestering Luca. She tried to be polite and gentle. She looked at him and said, "Enoch, I've just finished eating lunch. I'm not ordering anything. What would you like to tell me?"

"Mrs. Norman, I actually like Luca a lot. But she refuses to give me a chance, and I don't feel comfortable with that," said Enoch. It was his first time getting rejected by a woman. It made him feel like a loser.

Queenie frowned when she realized how stubborn Enoch was. She tried to persuade him, saying, “You can't force someone to fall in love with you."

"Mrs. Norman, I know that. But I want an explanation for why Luca would reject me. She didn't even agree to get to know me better before she rejected me. As a man, I can't accept such an outcome. So, I did something yesterday," said Enoch.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1847-Queenie was worried that Enoch was bothering Luca again when she heard that he had done something. She became nervous and said, “Enoch, things like love and relationships can't be explained by just reason."

Enoch saw the anxious expression on her face and replied, "Mrs. Norman, don't worry. I didn't bother Luca. But I found out why she rejected me."

Queenie was startled for a moment, then she asked, "Why?"

"I thought of picking her up from work yesterday, but after I saw her get into a cab, I followed her. I didn't bother her. I just followed her all the way back to her house. However, I found out that she's staying in a villa district in A City called Gilded Gem Villas. You should know about this villa district, right?" said Enoch.

Gilded Gem Villas?

Luca was startled. Previously when Luca was sent back home by their driver, she was clearly staying in an ordinary apartment building. Why was she suddenly staying in a luxurious villa district?

"Enoch, did you get it wrong?"

"No, I didn't. I saw her walking in there with my own eyes," replied Enoch.

When Queenie noticed how stubbornly in love he was with Luca, she said helplessly, "Well, can this prove anything?"

"Not everyone can afford to buy a villa there, Mrs. Norman. No matter how high Luca's salary is, she wouldn't be able to afford a villa there. I guess this is the reason why she rejected me. She can afford to stay in one of the villas there because her boyfriend is staying there too," said Enoch. Actually, he

suspected that Luca was the mistress of a wealthy man. However, it was inappropriate to mention such improper things in front of Queenie.

"Luca has a boyfriend? How's that possible..." Queenie frowned. If Luca had a boyfriend, she did not have to lie to her about it—unless her boyfriend was someone who could not be seen with her.

"Here's the information I found after I looked into it." Enoch handed her a document. "Mrs. Norman, I'm being completely honest with you. I got this information from a friend. Not everyone can stay in Gilded Gem Villas. Besides, those wealthy people wouldn't rent their place out to outsiders after buying properties there. Luca's name is not on the list of owners either. If it isn't because Luca has a rich boyfriend, how could she possibly live there?"

Queenie did not expect Enoch to investigate this matter. She picked up the list and glanced at it. It was the list of names of people who had bought villas there. There were names of businessmen in A City as well as celebrities. Queenie knew who the estate developer was.

Previously, when the developer was starting the project, he even thought of giving one of the villas to Jack. However, Jack, who had always been fair and honest, rejected him right away.

He would never take such gifts from others.

She noticed a few familiar names on the list—Luke Crawford and Louis Crawford.

“Mrs. Norman, you spotted the name too, right? Your son-in-law, Luke Crawford's, name is on the list." Enoch added.

Queenie nodded and replied, "You mean... No way. How's that possible? Look, other than Luke's name, Louis' name is on the list too. T Corporation must have participated in the development of this villa district. It's normal if they own villas here."

"But Luca and Luke were involved in a scandal before. Besides, they're working in the same company. Mrs. Norman, I know it's wrong of me to investigate such things, but I'm only asking for an explanation. I guess I found the reason now. And I'm showing you this not because I want you to do something about it. It's just that Luke Crawford is your son-in-law, and your daughter is still abroad. I just think that this matter concerns you and Mr. Norman." After Enoch finished talking, he stood up and said, "I've figured out the reason now. There's no point for me to keep these. I'll leave these to you. I'll be leaving now."

Queenie watched Enoch leave from behind. She had just set aside her worries, but now, they suddenly returned strong.

Luke and Luca.

Queenie could no longer sit there. She asked her driver to drive her to Gilded Gems Villas.

It was almost time to get off work. Queenie sat in the backseat of the car. She watched people entering and leaving Gilded Gem Villas without saying a word. The car plate number on her car was special, and no ordinary people could have it. That was why the security guards did not send her away despite her car being parked outside the entrance for the whole afternoon.

The driver looked at Queenie in the backseat of the car. She had never stopped staring outside the window. The driver did not know what was going on, so he could not help but ask, "Mrs. Norman, you've been watching outside the window for the whole afternoon now."

"Just a little longer." Queenie glanced at the time. She knew Luca would not get off work that early, but she was in a hurry to verify what Enoch had said to her.

If Luca did not show up here today, that would prove that she had just come to visit a friend yesterday. Then everything would make sense.

The driver fell silent after listening to what she said.

After a while, Queenie saw a car pass by. She set her eyes on the car. It was a familiar car plate number.

She asked the driver immediately, "Look, is that Luke's car plate number?"

The driver looked over and replied, "Yes, Mrs. Norman. The car and the car plate number belong to Mr. Crawford. I remember that he once drove this car to your house. But I suppose their driver, Zander, should be the one driving the car."

When Queenie pushed the car door open to take a closer look at it, the car had already driven into the district.

She frowned and waited for another 15 minutes. When she was about to get back into her car, she saw Luke's car driving out.

Queenie made a sudden decision and waved at the car.

Zander, who was driving the car, saw Queenie. He hurriedly parked the car by the roadside and got out of it. "Mrs. Norman, why are you here?"

Zander was indeed driving the car. Queenie knew very well that it was after school hours now. Zander must have sent the children home after picking them up from school.

“I was thinking of meeting the children, but I came early. Then I saw a familiar car plate number. I thought it was Luke. That's why I stopped the car. I didn't expect to be you.” Queenie casually found an excuse.

"Yes, I've sent the kids back home. You said that you want to see the kids, right? Why don't I send you in?" Zander said enthusiastically.

Queenie shook her head right away. "It's alright. The kids are at home now, so there'll be people in the house. I'll just press the bell.”

Zander heard her and remembered that he still had errands to run. He nodded and said, "Alright. You know which one it is, right?"

"How can I not know? Off you go, then," said Queenie.

Zander did not say anything more. He slightly bowed to her and nodded his head. Then, he got into the car and left.

The smile on Queenie's face faded when she saw Zander drive away. She got back into her car.

Zander had sent the kids back here, which meant that the kids were staying here now. Luke would be staying here too...

Why was she not informed when they moved out of Crawford Manor?

Could it be that things were exactly as what Enoch had told her? novelbin

Luca and Luke were in a relationship?

She sat in the car and continued to wait.

The driver was puzzled when he saw that Queenie did not intend to enter the district or leave the place. He sent a message to report to Jack, informing him about Queenie's unusual behavior.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1848-The driver sent Jack a message. After reporting Queenie's abnormal behavior, Queenie's phone rang after some time had passed.

Upon seeing that it was a call from Jack, she immediately placed her phone aside and did not intend to answer the call.

The driver looked behind and saw that Queenie was still looking outside the window, paying close attention to every car that passed by.

Seeing her in such a state left him with no choice but to remind her, "Mrs. Norman, your phone is ringing."

"It's not important," said Queenie. Seeing that Jack was calling her at this hour, she figured that he just wanted to tell her that he would be home late. Compared to what she was doing now, which was waiting at this spot to see whether or not Luca would show up, this call was not important at all.

The driver stuttered and felt that Queenie was not being herself. She just kept staring outside the window as if she was trying to catch her husband having an affair red-handed.

Her phone rang more than ten times, yet Queenie never picked up the call.

After some time, the driver received Jack's call.

"Yes, Mr. Norman. Mrs. Norman is in the car," Jack was asking about what Queenie was up to, and the driver answered honestly.

Jack understood what Queenie was doing and ordered, "Pass the phone to her."

"Yes, sir." The driver tilted his body and handed the phone to Queenie. "Mrs. Norman, it's a call from Mr. Norman. He's looking for you."

Queenie never shifted her gaze from the window and just stretched out her hand, hinting for the driver to place the phone in her hand.

The driver was helpless. It was his first time seeing her like this. He placed the phone in her hand.

Queenie brought the phone to her ear while still staring outside the window. novelbin

"You're going to tell me that you'll be back home late tonight, right?" she asked casually and carefreely.

Jack frowned and said, "I'm currently on my way back. Where are you?"

"Oh," Queenie replied before continuing. "I'm still outside, but I'm about to head back home."

"Did you happen to forget what day it is today?" Jack asked. 'It seems she's still focused on Luca.'

Jack did not know what was going on with Queenie. Last night, he thought that Queenie would let her guard down after she told him that she would not arrange another blind date for Luca. However, it seemed she had changed into another person today.

'It seems like I really have to investigate what's going on.'

"What?" Queenie was stunned. 'What day is it today?'

Jack sighed and reminded, "Dear, today's our wedding anniversary. You've never forgotten, so how did you forget about it this year?”

Queenie was dumbfounded. 'Today is our wedding anniversary?'

She had been so occupied with Bianca and Luca's issue in the past few days that she had completely forgotten about their wedding anniversary.

She said, "Alright, I'll head back now."

Jack was about to say something, but Queenie had hung up the call. Listening to the busy tone on the other end made Jack feel helpless. He sighed. 'She has lost her mind all because of Bianca.'

However, he would never tell her that Luca was Bianca.

Jack had no choice but to call Luke. He was the only one who could handle this situation.

On the other hand.

Queenie knew that Luca did not own a car. Hence, she was keeping track of each cab that came by until a particular cab came to a halt at the entrance of the villa. Her heart was racing, and her eyes were fixed on that car.

The person in the car came out of it.

Despite being quite far away from the cab, Queenie was still able to make out that it was Luca just from her back.

The moment she was sure it was Luca, Queenie felt as if the strength within her was being drained away as she leaned against the seat while staring at Luca, who was not far away from her.

After closing the car door, Luca immediately headed toward the entrance of the villa.

"It's true..." Queenie was trembling as she watched Luca walk into the villa. She picked up her phone with her trembling hand.

She gave Luca a call.

"Mrs. Norman." The driver was worried that her body might show signs of abnormality when he saw Queenie's pale face.

Queenie lifted a finger a placed it over her mouth. "Don't say a word."

The driver could only close his mouth and continue to monitor her behavior through the rearview mirror.

Queenie made the call but she did not get through. Luca was on another call.

On the other hand.

Luca had received a call from Luke.

"Mr. Crawford?" Luca was astonished that Luke would call her at this hour.

"Where are you now?" After Luke received Jack's call, he paused his meeting and gave Luca a call.

"I'm just about to enter the villa," said Luca. "Do you need me to buy anything?"

"Have you gotten out of the car?" Luke asked.

"Yes, I've gotten out of the car." Luca found it weird, but she still answered his question honestly.

"Today is my father and mother-in-law's wedding anniversary. It's not convenient for me to leave now as I have something to attend to. You should head back and bring the kids over to the Norman family's residence. I'll get the kids not to simply run their mouths off." Luke did not explain further and just gave her a set of instructions.

"It's their wedding anniversary? Is it even appropriate for me to bring the kids there?" Luca was stunned as she did not expect today to be such an important day.

Naturally, she wanted to celebrate her parents' wedding anniversary with them, but she did not have the right status to do so now.

Besides, if she brought the three kids over, she would not know how to handle the situation if Jack and Queenie misunderstood.

"It's appropriate. I'll be relieved if you're the one bringing the kids over." Luke knew what she was worried about. "You're familiar with the Norman family, so nothing will happen."

"Alright." Luca nodded after she heard it.

She agreed as she thought it might be Jack and Queenie's intention to have the kids go over to join the fun. She then hastened her pace toward the villa.

Upon returning to the villa, she realized that Luke had already notified the kids. She had yet to say a word, but Tommy had already changed his clothes and shoes. He then walked to her side and held her hand. "Ms. Luca, we've all changed our clothes."

Luca looked at Rainie and Lanie, who was standing at the entrance waiting for her. She then nodded her head. It seemed that her attire was not suitable for a wedding anniversary celebration, so she said, "I'll head upstairs to get changed."

"Alright, Ms. Luca." Tommy nodded.

The three kids all sat on the sofa, and after seeing Luca making her way upstairs, they looked at each other.

Lanie was the first to remind his brother and sister, "You guys have to remember what Daddy said earlier. Don't expose anything."

"We remember," Rainie and Tommy said at the same time.

Tommy nodded his head. Earlier when Luke called, he had told them that they would be going to their grandparents' house to celebrate their wedding anniversary. During this time, they had to get rid of the suspicion their grandmother had toward Luca.

Hence, they were on a very important mission.

After Luca was done changing her clothes, she brought the kids over to the villa. When she was heading outside, Tommy pulled at her sleeve and said, "Ms. Luca, Daddy said Uncle Zander will come to pick us up."

Luca was astonished to hear what the kid said. She nodded her head, and her footsteps came to a halt. They, waited for Zander to drive the car over to them.

After some time, Zander drove the car and parked before them.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1849-Staying Together

"Young Masters, Young Miss, Ms. Craw, please get into the car." Zander got down from the car and opened the door of the backseat.

Lanie knew that the backseat had limited space, so he took the initiative and sat in the front passenger seat. He opened the front car door and got inside.

Both his younger brother and sister loved staying close to their mother. Hence, as the elder brother, he was very mature and offered his seat to them so that they could be more comfortable.

After they had all entered the car, Zander returned to the driver's seat.

Luca said, "Uncle Zander, please drive us to a nearby mall first. I want to buy something."

Since they were about to attend Jack and Queenie's wedding anniversary, she naturally should not attend empty-handed. She planned to get them some accessories as a gift.

She would be doing the things Bianca used to do with her current identity as Luca.

While Zander was putting on his seatbelt, he explained with a smile, "Ms. Craw, you don't have to prepare anything because Young Master has already prepared it."

"He has prepared it?" Luca was astonished because earlier, Luke only called her to inform her of the arrangement. She thought that he only thought of it at the eleventh hour or it was Jack who informed them at the last minute. She did not expect him to have already made preparations.

"Yes. The presents for both elders have been prepared," said Zander.

Luca nodded and explained, "Those are his gifts for them, but he didn't prepare my gifts for them."

"He has prepared them as well. Young Master has prepared two sets of presents," Zander explained. It was not a difficult thing for Luke to prepare presents. Besides, Luke was rich. Even if the shops were closed, all he need to do was say a word and the staff would open the shops for him.

Luca did not expect Luke to have everything arranged despite it being at the last minute. He had even prepared two sets of presents.

She did not ask what presents they were as she knew he would have gotten others to choose appropriate gifts.

Luca did not say another word and nodded her head. Zander started driving the car.

On the other hand.

In the Norman family's household.

Initially, Jack wanted to surprise Queenie. He had long ago hired a chef and the employees from a hotel to decorate the house.

After seeing that the decorations were up and the food was almost prepared, he walked out and waited for Queenie's return.

He had just received the driver's message stating that they were at the last traffic light from the house and would soon be back.

After approximately five minutes, the car came to a halt at the entrance.

Jack knew Queenie loved banquets. Hence, he opened the car door, looked at the person in the car with a smile, and said, "Come out of the car, dear."

Queenie returned to her senses and looked at Jack, who was outside of the car. She felt tears welling up in her eyes.

The moment she saw Luca walking into the villa, she was instantly sure that she was together with Luke. She could no longer remain calm.

Queenie lifted her head and felt lost as she glanced at Jack.

"What's wrong?" Jack knew the reason for the expression on her face, but he still acted as if he was not aware of the reason. He showed concern for her.

"Jack, I found out something..." Queenie muttered softly. She still could not accept the fact.

"We'll talk once you're out of the car," said Jack.

Queenie came back to her senses. The driver was still in the car, and if word of this were to spread, it would do no good to Luke and Bianca.

She nodded, and when she got out of the car, her expression was utterly awful.

Jack frowned when he saw her in such a state. He went ahead to support her. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Queenie shook her head. She staggered and nearly tripped.

Jack quickly came to support her. "Careful."

Queenie nodded and followed him into the house. She noticed the hall was meticulously decorated, but she was not in the mood to admire the view. All that was in her mind was the issue of Luke and Luca’s relationship.

She wanted to tell Jack and have him settle the issue.

Even though Bianca had willingly gone abroad, Queenie could not accept her daughter's husband being snatched by another woman, even if she was indebted to that woman.

Jack knew Queenie had something to say. Hence, he helped her to the bedroom. With his help, Queenie slowly sat on the sofa. She looked at Jack with her red eyes.

"What happened to you?" Jack asked.

"Do you know that Luke brought the kids with him and moved out of Crawford Manor?" Queenie asked.

"I had no idea." Jack did not say anything. If he were to say he knew about it, she would certainly blame him for not telling her.

Currently, the most important thing was to ensure that Queenie’s mood was stable.

"I don't know when he brought the kids with him and left Crawford Manor. He’seven staying with Luca now," Queenie said while tears came streaming down.

Clearly, it was not Jack who betrayed her, yet Queenie still felt upset. She simply thought that her daughter was living a hard life.

When Bianca was young, she was brought away by Allison to a poor family and was brought up by them. She never got the chance to enjoy motherly love and was often being bullied by her stepmother.

It was not easy for her and Luke to end up together, but she was kidnapped and even went through those miserable experiences. She then lost her memories, and finally, she went abroad to further her studies and planned to improve herself so she would be a better match for Luke.

At this moment, however, another woman had appeared by Luke's side. If Bianca, who was abroad, were to know about this, she definitely would not be able to accept it.

"How do you know she's together with Luke?" Jack took out a piece of tissue. When the driver sent him the location, he knew that Queenie just wanted to clarify whether or not Luca was together with Luke.

Hence, he made these arrangements.

"She entered the villa where Luke is staying, and that villa has no units for rent. Enoch has also checked it. There's no news about Luca renting a house. You said that she moved in, so doesn't that mean she's staying with the kids and Luke?" Queenie said.

"Did you misunderstand something? She has always been close to the kids. It's normal if she occasionally visits them. It shouldn't be a problem, right?" Jack was trying his best to get rid of Queenie's suspicion.

Queenie shook her head. "How is that possible? For two days straight..."

Jack did not expect Enoch to be so capable that he made Queenie become suspicious about the relationship between Luca and Luke once again.

He planned to continue comforting her, but the servant came knocking on the bedroom door. "Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, Ms. Luca has brought your grandchildren here."

Queenie looked at Jack, astonished. "You invited Luca?"

"No. Recently, I've noticed that you're upset. I arranged for the kids to come over and celebrate our anniversary. I told Luke about it." Jack shook his head. In truth, he did not tell anyone about it in the beginning, but it seemed that this was the only way to get rid of Queenie's suspicion.

"Then about Luca and the kids."

"Why don't we head down? Then we'll find out everything," Jack said.

Queenie nodded her head and wiped away her tears. Noticing that her eyes were red, she put some makeup on her face. After looking like her usual self, she headed downstairs with Jack.

Upon arriving at the first floor, they saw that the three kids had come upstairs and had even brought presents along. They said their wishes with a smile, "Grandpa, Grandma, we wish that you two will always be in love!"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 1850-It was because of Luca that Queenie was unable to smile. She lowered her eyes as she glanced at the smiles on the kids' faces. She asked, "All of you are good kids, but why you guys are here?"

"Grandpa invited us over," said Tommy.

Jack, who was holding Queenie's hand on the side, explained, "I know you love having crowds, so I invited Luke and the kids over to have a meal."

Queenie looked at Luca.

Lanie was good at observing one's expression. He listened to his father's orders and said, "But lately, Daddy has been very busy. He's always working overtime in the office. That's why he told Ms. Luca to bring us over. He said someone has to watch over us. Otherwise, we'll cause huge trouble and give Grandpa and Grandma a headache.”

"Is that so?" Queenie was puzzled. If Luke had really asked Luca for help, then it would explain her entering the villa.

However, it could only explain today's incident.

"Yes. Mr. Crawford told me to bring the kids over so that they could celebrate the occasion with you two.” Luca went along with what the kids said. At this moment, she noticed that Queenie's mood was unstable.

'It's like she's putting her guard up against me.'

"So that's how it is. I didn't notice that Luke is so busy with his projects. Otherwise, I wouldn't have troubled him," Jack said.

Lanie said, "Daddy has been extremely busy lately. Sometimes, Ms. Luca will have to come over to take care of us after work before going home."

Luca was beginning to feel suspicious when she heard the kid's words.

'Did Luke order the kids to say these things? What are they plotting?'

Queenie heard it and felt suspicious. 'Are they speaking the truth?

'Even if Luke is busy, he can just hire a nanny to look after the kids. Why must he ask for Luca's help?

'She's very busy too, isn't she?'

"Luke is so busy. I'll have to trouble you to help look after the kids," Jack happily went along with what the kids said while holding Queenie's hand.

'She should be more assured now, right?' Queenie said, "If that's the case, have you been looking after Luke's kids all this while, Luca? So sorry to have troubled you."

"It's nothing. The kids are very obedient. I love being with them," said Luca.

"Yeah. We also love Ms. Luca coming to take care of us. Besides, Ms. Luca cooks delicious food. As long as she's the one cooking, I'll finish my food every time," Tommy said.

Queenie nodded. 'It seems that Luca isn't staying in that villa. She just goes over every day to look after the kids.'

Even though there seemed to be a logical explanation for everything, she still felt uneasy.

Luca had a feeling that the reason why Luke ordered the kids to say these things was not as simple as it seemed...

Initially, she thought he had just ordered the kids not to accidentally blurt out the fact that she was living with them and to bear in mind the things that were appropriate to say.

However, from the looks of it, it seemed that Luke was using the kids to hide something.

The atmosphere was rather awkward, and Queenie's mood had not recovered even after hearing the kids' explanation.

She forced out a smile and looked at the kids. She was still thinking about what would happen to Bianca once she was back if Luca was really together with Luke. Furthermore, the kids shared such a good relationship with her.

'She's going to lose her lover and family.'

Luca knew something was going on after seeing Queenie's sad expression.

She had not been a good daughter. She could not take care of Queenie for so many years and even made her so worried.

She looked at the presents in her hands. They were prepared by Luke, and she handed them over. "Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, these are gifts for you. I wish you guys a happy wedding anniversary."

Jack looked at Queenie. 'If she knows that the person in front of her is our beloved daughter, will she still be in such a melancholic mood?'

He accepted the gifts. "Thank you, Luca. It's so kind of you."

Luca was embarrassed after listening to what he said. She was not the kind one. She believed she was the worst child a parent could have.

Her biological parents were just in front of her, yet she did not have the courage to acknowledge them.

Queenie was still not saying a word. Jack held the gifts in his hand and said, "Luca, I heard that you're interested in art. Recently, I've collected a few oil paintings. Do you mind taking a look at them for me and telling me what you think?"

"Actually, I'm just a casual appreciator,” said Luca. To be honest, she was not as good as Jack in terms of art valuation.

"It's alright. Anyway, the chef is still preparing the dishes in the kitchen, so you can come and take a look at the artworks," Jack said, determined to drag Luca away. novelbin

Luca had no choice but to accept his invitation. They headed upstairs together.

Queenie saw them heading upstairs and glanced at the three kids, saying, "Lanie, Tommy, I bought some new toys two days ago. They're upstairs. Go play with them."

"Really? Thanks, Grandma."

"Alright, Grandma," Lanie and Tomy said at the same time. They noticed that Queenie had only called out to them. Lanie pulled Tommy upstairs.

Rainie was the only one downstairs.

Rainie saw her brothers heading upstairs and asked softly, "Can I follow my brothers up to play with the toys, Grandma?"

Queenie pulled Rainie and sat on the sofa, looking at her passionately.

Out of the three kids, Rainie looked the most like Bianca. She looked at Rainie, and it was as if she was looking at Bianca.

"Rainie, I know you're a good girl, so you won't lie to me, right?" she asked.

Rainie nodded and was puzzled why Queenie said such a thing.

"What's wrong, Grandma?"

"Nothing. I just want to know something, so I asked you to stay back. You'll answer me honestly, right?" Queenie held Rainie's little hands and looked at the child. There was a reason Queenie made Rainie stay back.

'Little girls are not good at telling lies.'

"What do you wish to know, Grandma? I'll tell you." Suddenly, Rainie knew what was happening.

"Do you guys really like Ms. Luca?" Queenie asked casually.

"Yea. My brothers and I like being together with Ms. Luca. She's a good person and is very gentle. She treats us very well, so we like her." Rainie nodded.

Queenie sighed inwardly when she heard the answer. 'Luca's influence on the kids is too big.

‘She even surpassed Bianca, who's their mother...'

"During this period of time, has it been Ms. Luca who's looking after all of you? Didn't your daddy hire a nanny to look after you guys?" Queenie asked again.

"Ms. Luca will come to look after us whenever she's free." Rainie knew Queenie's motive in asking these questions. Hence, she just listened to what Luke had told her. "Tommy is picky with his food and doesn't like the food made by the nanny Daddy hired. He likes Ms. Luca's food, so whenever Ms. Luca is free, she'll come over and cook for us."

Luca heard Rainie's reply. 'It seems that Luca is indeed only helping out to look after the kids. She's not living with them.'

She then asked again, "Then why did your daddy bring you guys out of the house to stay in another place?"
